An Intellectual Being Rides Again
Melissa Fabello, the managing editor of Everyday Feminism, the one who told her readers that feminism is a Joy-Bringing Total Explanation For Everything In The World, is once again unhappy:
When you’re a human being of any combination of marginalised identities making your way through the world, a funny thing happens: People want to fight with you a lot. And I don’t necessarily mean physical fights… but rather, the seemingly innocuous form of fighting known as “debating.”
Yes, Ms Fabello, our graduate, educator and publishing powerhouse, is also “a combination of marginalised identities” – all sadly unspecified – and is continually assailed by the life-threatening outrage that is People Who Disagree With Her. Specifically, people who don’t regard Ms Fabello’s “lived experience,” i.e., her pantomime of victimhood, as the rhetorical full stop, the decisive hand of cards, that she wishes it to be. Put another way, if Ms Fabello says she’s oppressed, then you mustn’t talk back or offer facts to the contrary. Because claims of “lived experience,” however theatrical, embellished or self-flattering they may be, are The Last Word, a triumphant “End Of,” to which no reply is welcome, or decent, or permitted.
If you’ve ever been a marginalised person on the internet, you may recognise this phenomenon as “The Facebook Comment Thread Effect” – and it’s the reason why so many people choose to bow out of these arguments entirely: not because they can’t defend themselves, but because they shouldn’t have to.
Note the conflation of defending a stated position – a not unreasonable expectation, even today, even on Facebook – with defending oneself, and the implication of an assault on one’s very being, or at least one’s ego, which is apparently unfair. This, remember, is a woman paid to edit feminist polemic in order to make it more convincing.
But these absurd arguments happen because there’s always at least one person who just can’t admit that they have no fucking idea what they’re talking about.
I’ll just leave that one there, I think.
It’s most frequently the people with the most privilege in any given situation who want to engage in “debate” with me and others. And that’s not because I expect more of, say, straight, white, cis men – because I most certainly do not.
See, that wholesale embrace of “social justice” really does swell the heart and sharpen the mind, making it nimble, attuned to nuance. Not at all stiffened by presumption and the casual dismissal of entire notional categories of humankind.
To the contrary, I expect this desperate attempt at domination because that’s how oppression works on an individual level.
Ah, so let’s be clear. When straight, white, cis men disagree with feminists and those who imagine themselves “marginalised,” and therefore pious, this is an evil act, a “desperate attempt at domination.”
People with the most power and privilege believe their mediocre opinions to be of actual intellectual consequence, and then attempt to force their misconceptions onto everyone else to the benefit of (who else?) their damn selves… I have never known another group of people to be so unskilled, overall, at legitimate debating.
At risk of sounding unkind, the word projection springs to mind. And those straight, white, cis men currently working on roads and rigs and scaffolding in less than pleasant conditions, while providing for their families, will be thrilled to hear of all the “power and privilege,” the patriarchal heft, that they have at their disposal. And likewise, of how their opinions are “mediocre,” and thus invalid, apparently by default. At this point, Ms Fabello deploys lots of rhetorical chaff – pointing out, for instance, that engaging CAPS LOCK isn’t in itself a devastating argument. And then chastising those who ironically use the term “social justice warrior” – which, she explains, is an “invalidating behaviour,” one that can get “really oppressive really quickly.”
This goes on for some time, many paragraphs. The gist, however, isn’t hard to fathom. Those straight, white, cis men – those “people of privilege” – the ones who don’t immediately accept improbable protestations of victimhood before bowing in humbled silence – are just knuckleheads and bigots, devoid of sensitivity and higher reasoning. Unlike Ms Fabello, who tells us she wants “actual debate” with “intelligent thoughts,” and who happily retweets demands that all men “stop talking,” under a banner boasting that she “never wants to hear a word any heterosexual white man has to say.”
Of course Ms Fabello’s struggles with logic and consistency have entertained us many times. As when she proclaimed, based on nothing, that the world is “divided into the oppressed and the oppressors,” with herself in the former category, due to the infinite woe of being a middle-class female in twenty-first century America. One whose status as a “gender minority” – because that’s what women are, apparently, despite their numerousness – means that any factual correction or testing of her claims – especially when “unsolicited” and from a “straight, cis man” – “simply pale in comparison to living in a marginalised body that experiences the trauma of oppression.”
None of which, it has to be said, is particularly suggestive of intellectual honesty and a yearning for frank and open debate. It does, however, draw attention to the essential conceit of Ms Fabello’s “intersectional” claptrap. Which is to say, that declaring oneself marginalised (repeatedly, multiply so, in ways not terribly clear) and therefore deserving of special favours – such that one’s feelings and vanity should be the decisive factor, the last word in any exchange – sounds an awful lot like the kind of “privilege” she so zealously denounces.

Patriarchy smasher, FFS
I often entertain myself by imagining a world in which normal men (white or otherwise) actually took feminists at their collective word and simply dropped out of society for, oh, six months or so. All the road workers, plumbers, administrators, doctors, long-haul truckers, farmers, electricians, coal miners, cops, soldiers, prison guards, etc. just decide to stay home and play Halo or putter in our workshops for six months.
Aside from the mass starvation, blackouts, plagues, and so forth, I’m sure it would be a very pleasant world.
ironically [using] the term “social justice warrior”… can get “really oppressive really quickly.”
Wow.
I do so enjoy listening to people who’ve accumulated six figures worth of degrees from posh institutions of higher education regale me with tales of their “lived experience” of “oppression.” Not to mention the sleight of hand involved in transforming disagreement and debate using things like Socratic logic and, you know, actual evidence into the product of inferior intellect. Her use of the word “fuck” tells me I’m in the presence of a superior intellect. Kind of like Khan Noonien Singh, she is, only without the fun-loving personality.
She means: “Shut up!”
Schools really are worse now days, they have ceased to teach that brevity is the soul of wit.
My rejoinder to Miss Fabello: “No!”
Her use of the word “fuck” tells me I’m in the presence of a superior intellect. Kind of like Khan Noonien Singh, she is, only without the fun-loving personality.
The vanity, the self-flattery, is hard to miss.
But this is what happens if you base your politics on a variation of so-called “critical race theory,” which despite the name is anti-rational horseshit that inhibits analysis and actively encourages lies and credulity. And according to which, a person’s belief that they were slighted or unsuccessful for reasons of racism (or sexism or whatever) is to be taken as more important than any evidence or arguments to the contrary. The fact that such accounts are notoriously unreliable, immensely subjective, generally self-flattering, and often simply untrue, somehow escapes scrutiny.
I particularly love the prezel logic required to declare women, who are more numerous than men, are somehow a “sexual minority”. Presumably because “oppression”. But I thought only minorities could be oppressed? But then women are fore some reason oppressed so are a to be considered a minority?

Ah, but the reign of intersectional feminists would, by definition, be righteous and benign. Because the casual bigotry and group-based vindictiveness that’s expressed so often and proudly by Ms Fabello and her peers “cannot possibly exist” – according to Ms Fabello. Apparently, it isn’t physically possible to be sexist against men, or racist against white people, or… well, you get the idea.
And note her approval of “critical race theory,” mentioned upthread.

I think she’s actually an undercover agent for the men’s rights movement.
Well, if your conception of “social justice” entails applauding yourself for disdaining people based solely on their race and gender, and dismissing dictionary definitions of sexism and racism because you find them offensively reciprocal, then it’s hard to see how a rational conversation could take place. I mean, who wants to untangle wreckage like that?
She could be cis-phobic – except that is not allowed now, apparently:

Facts are oppressive, science is oppressive, free speech is oppressive, capitalism is oppressive, and now debate is oppressive.
We get it. The liberal traditions that produced the emancipation of women — and many others — are suspect. Fabello saws at the very branch she’s sitting on.

I would imagine that labouring under the delusion of being eternally oppressed, patronised, marginalised, constantly ‘triggered’, and seething with (un)righteous anger, must have a detrimental effect on one’s physical health? I do hope so.
But virtual reality is full of [virtual] sexual assault
To be fair, it really is. Abusing the scripted character animations to simulate a sexual assault is tediously common in any multiplayer game community. It’s juvenile and rude, and I think it’s a cause for some concern about the coarsening of culture and overall desensitization to this kind of thing (a theme HBO’s Westworld is exploring brilliantly).
But it’s not sexual assault and it doesn’t merit the usual appropriation (ha!) of the trappings of PTSD treatment.
Feminism is a movement of crazy women, by crazy women, for crazy women — a democracy of the demented — and everyone else must be excluded and silenced, so as not to disturb the lunatics who are busy running this asylum.

Jabrwok 13.08. Me too,if it was within my power to do so I`d give these people their very own country where they can live by their righteous principles.
A country totally devoid of we evil white men(both gay or straight since apparently even gay white men are now considered part of the oppressor class)where empowered wimmin and oppressed minorities can empower themselves by growing their own food and building their own infra structure and then decide for themselves how to allocate what foodstuffs and housing they can scrape together.
And after 10 years or so I`d go back to see just kind of world they had come up with,a socialist utopia where everybody gets every thing they need or want regardless of the amount of work they might have or have not contributed? or some modern “Lord of the flies” hellhole,where the strong shamelessly steal from the weak and justice is what the local warlord(warlady?)decides it is?.
…but it seems so much less offensive than “ignorant malignant dickhead,” and really, no more offensive than being referred to as a cis-male, as if my sexual orientation is somehow a valid indicator of the quality of my thought, or the worth of my opinion.
I thought after all the feminist intuhlektuwal chat we needed a change
This just in from Everyday Feminism (via The Establishment): The tyranny of white women’s dominance already pervades our culture.
Given that the author of today’s tormented thought believes that white women enact violence against people of color, I wonder how Ms. Fabello tolerates herself as she wallows in the mire of perpetual delusions of oppression.
The competition for the status of “most aggrieved being” must be intense at EF, The Establishment, and their fellow travelers.

None of which, it has to be said, is particularly suggestive of intellectual honesty
The appalling vagueness and the complete logical disconnection between any two statements this brand of feminists make – they’re both deliberate, I think.
Of course, some of these folks have no idea how logic & evidence work. They don’t want to know. They like the fact that they can say “yay, equality” one minute, and “men have no right to talk about abortion” the next. And the minute after that they can claim you’re arguing because of your “privilege”, so you should shut up.
Being bloody ignorant helps these people function.
It’s all an enjoyable game of making the rules up as they go along, the only real rule being that the feminists must have the last word, and get their way.
Our universities and governments have to decide whether they want intellectual and political life to be run like this, or with boring old rational discussion…
Our universities and governments have to decide whether they want intellectual and political life to be run like this
Seems to me they already have. They’ve been good with it for decades.
So, either ritual self-flagellation demanded of “straight, white, cis men” somehow does *not* count as Fabello expecting more of them, or she is blithely lying and possibly unaware of it. Hmm, which one to pick…
She lives in PHILADELPHIA. This makes her stupid, but definitely not “oppressed”. Moreover, she has an Italian name, which plants her in the upper end of the local hierarchy of unearned respect.
And now for something completely different, I give you something that makes Everyday Feminism seem sane, at least until they co-opt it.
The Ecosexual Bathhouse. Some photos may be NSFW depending on where you work.
Ms. Fabello could easily convince me that she believes her own words.
All she need do is post, prominently, the following words:
“I never wants to hear a word any heterosexual white man has to say.”
above her home’s front door, and as a header on every email she sends out.
Apparently, it isn’t physically possible to be sexist against men,
Eg. “Crybaby men”
https://twitter.com/datnofact/status/793820556680372224
Eg. “Crybaby men”
But wait, I thought men were to be denounced as “toxic” unless they express emotion with a weepiness deemed acceptable by feminists? And yet “male tears” are the sweetest tears of all? Oh, and the drug-induced “mood changes” that were dismissed out of hand by our kindly feminist included palpitations, hypertension, depression and impotence. So nothing at all to complain about, then.
Hahahaha the simplest solution never seems to occurr to Fabello and her likeminded feministas: if you don’t feel like you should have to debate with people on Facebook or blogs – don’t. Step away from the comment box. Put the mouse down. Relax. Maybe have a nice cup of tea. Not that hard, is it?
The Ecosexual Bathhouse.
Wouldn’t that be where the gay members of the Green Party go cruising?
TimT, who taught you how to virtue signal? No one is going to know how righteous you are if you don’t tell them.
If one were desperate for attention from [insert group here], one’s obvious best bet would be to loudly proclaim “I never want to hear a word that any of you [insert group here] has to say!
But one would have to be desperate.
So, a question that has been tormenting me…
“Lived experience”
What the &*%( other kind of experience is there???
Applying questions of consent, compatibility, and mutuality to our relationship with the biosphere forces a radical thought experiment, by considering an ethics for interdependence with the nonhuman.
As I recall, the term thought experiment (Gedankenexperiment) was coined by a lowly patent clerk to describe the conceptual framework with which he provided answers to theoretical experiments on physical phenomena, eventually resulting in him coming up with the theory of relativity.
So unless you can top that with, say, a general unified field theory, do not call what you do a thought experiment. It devalues the brand.
Compared to “imagined experience”, I presume. Seems like a lot of SJWs suffer from it or are sympathetic towards those who have exhibited symptoms of the phenomenon.
Sonny Wayze,
I used to wonder that myself until it dawned on me that soooo many on the left have no lives. Much of everything they know they got from fiction. They have very little experience with the real world.
The competition for the status of “most aggrieved being” must be intense at EF, The Establishment, and their fellow travelers.
Historically, and to cite a note of David’s from a bit back, competition may not quite be the overall term and purpose as much as identifying feature.

I see what you did there.
declaring oneself marginalised (repeatedly, multiply so, in ways not terribly clear) and therefore deserving of special favours – such that one’s feelings and vanity should be the decisive factor, the last word in any exchange – sounds an awful lot like the kind of “privilege” she so zealously denounces.
That.
Related experience. Studied experience. Secondhand experience. For example, reading statistics. When a nutter like this invokes “lived experience”, it’s usually signalling something like “my personal anecdote should trump your general data”. So shut up with anything you’ve learned about how various groups doing on various metrics – Ms Fabello feels her people are oppressed, and this lived experience of oppression trumps your cisheteropatriarchal numbers!
That.
I suppose it’s a measure of just how credulous and dogmatic her readers must be, and of how willingly they tolerate incoherence, contradiction and repeated question-begging. Ms Fabello invokes her supposed victimhood, her “trauma,” her “marginalised” status, repeatedly, theatrically, yet she offers no plausible evidence to this end, as if none were customary or expected. As if none of her readers would ever pause to ask or be remotely critical.
But this is someone who is both outraged and dismissive when people point out basic factual errors (some might call them lies), and who denounces en masse the people offering those corrections as “cis, white, straight dudes,” even when they’re women. She tells us, proudly, that when people dare to offer corrections or air points of contention, “My first thought is, ‘Wow. You have absolutely no respect for me as an intellectual being.’”
I think that tells us quite a lot about who, and what, she is.
Don’t know if we’ve covered this but here’s another bizarre story.
A psychology professor at the University of Toronto is objecting to legislation forcing him to use silly pronouns like “zer” & “zhe”, should students request it.
He also does some half-interesting videos documenting how rampant political correctness is in Higher Education
TimT, who taught you how to virtue signal? No one is going to know how righteous you are if you don’t tell them.
Give him one more try.
A perfect example.
Yet another illustration of feminist gratitude.
Why? Because for many feminists, being needlessly obnoxious to random men is a credential, an in-group status marker.

Previously.
To be fair, pre-emptively blocking people isn’t necessarily opposed to wanting actual debate. For example, I might pre-emptively block five-year olds precisely because I want actual debate and five-year-olds aren’t equipped for it.
But who would win in a battle of wits and wills between a 5-year-old and a feminist SJW? One has the sophistry but the other whines and stomps their feet a lot.
To be fair, pre-emptively blocking people isn’t necessarily opposed to wanting actual debate.
Well, if you can trawl through Ms Fabello’s articles and tweets without gnawing off your own arms, you’ll see that she churns out endless variations on the same theme. For someone who claims to value debate, she spends an awful lot of time dismissing people as “trolls” (even or especially if they have a point worth hearing), and telling various people that their opinions don’t count or are unwelcome, based on the supposedly offensive categories that she assigns to them, often presumptuously. Generally, “white,” “cis,” “straight” and “male.”

When the group of students arrived around 9:30 a.m., they saw around 20 Trump supporters already lined up (the doors were set to open at 4 p.m.). She called campus security as a precaution, but the man who answered was confused as to why she wanted a security presence.”

Alas, unlike most of her usually far shrewder and calculating SJW counterparts who merely exude a veneer of insanity I’ve little doubt that Joshi is genuinely afflicted by profound mental instability given what I’ve seen of her surreal antics.
I also hear that Zany Zarna has an e-begging video out too attempting to extort cash from the terminally gullible via harrowingly recounting the boundless harassment (rightful ridicule) and oppression (deserved mockery) she has endured since her infamous “Hugh Mongous” meltdown.
Ah, how unprecedented for anyone of her under-employed, ‘crybully’ ilk to revert to ‘helpless victim’ mode whenever the tide of public opinion turns firmly against them….and try to make a tidy profit in the process….
Now I generally despise resorting to both cliche and crudity but can’t help be of the opinion that what perma-outraged Zarna really needs in life is a good, hard, shag.
