And Yet They Want to Teach Us
This letter [from the Communication Graduate Caucus and the Gender, Sexuality and Women’s Studies Student Union] is a textbook illustration of the typical logical fallacies that first year university students are supposed to learn to avoid… [It] was presented as a joint effort and was presumably the result of collective deliberation, with sufficient time to craft and reconsider. That it is so muddled suggests in my opinion something about the arrested intellectual development induced by the feminist worldview.
Janice Fiamengo pokes through the mental wreckage of some standard feminist boilerplate, in which facts are either absent or inverted, questions are begged at a rate of knots, and criticism of feminist assumptions is equated with both racism and “co-ordinated campaigns of terror.”
It’s as if truth were not a value to them.
Once you eliminate that value, I guess you would not longer be hindered by fact, much less rigor. Curiosity would become heresy.
Everything becomes an exercise in power: keeping it, coveting it, and attacking those who are a threat to it.
It’s as if truth were not a value to them.
As we’ve seen, a lot of feminist “thinking” suggests either shocking incompetence or outright dishonesty.

“Arrested intellectual development” is a group diagnosis of most leftists, isn’t it?

Communication Graduate Circus?
Ehn, nah. Whether Le Carre or Ringling through Pickle, a circus has a point and reason.
