"sex-positivity versus sex-negativity and transgender inclusion versus transgender exclusion"
Presenting a biased view to an audience new to a subject is dishonest. You're using selected terms to groom the readers to the side with the "schools of thought" you agree with. I could use the terms "neoliberalism verses class analysis and genderism verses gender criticism" and we'd still be referring to the same things. Of course, I would never use those terms at HN in the way you used yours, because I value real discourse.
Your central point is of course correct: "feminism" is an umbrella term (heck that's the first sentence on the Wikipedia page). Using ignorance of that fact as an opportunity to propagandize is shameful.
- FD3SA 12y agoHe's giving "feminism" far more respect than it's due. Empirically, it is a baseless ideology on par with Astrology, but far more sinister because of its political and economic consequences. In the real world, the study of human behavior resides within the realm of evolutionary biology, with a focus on evolutionary psychology. The empirical principles that govern human behavior are fascinating and complex, but are well understood within the coherent framework of evolutionary biology. "Feminism", and all of its post-modern counterparts are pseudo-intellectual nonsense promulgated by fanatics. But don't take my word for it, here's just one expert's opinion [1]. 1. http://edge.org/memberbio/helena_cronin http://edge.org/memberbio/helena_cronin
- detcader 12y agoYou're incorrect. Except maybe about postmodernism being pseudo-intellectual nonsense, in which case you would be correct only by accident.
