  • 12 July 2018: For all his jibber-jabber about lobsters, he doesn't really seem to understand evolutionary processes.
  • 12 July 2018: That's a fucking weird way to make that point.
  • 12 July 2018: Effectively the same thing, except postmodernism technically seems only to be oriented with leftwing politics. Same epistemologies, though.
  • 12 July 2018: Looking at Trump, the growing disrepute of universities, and outbreaks of nearly extinct childhood diseases, I think it's fair to say we're firmly within the early stages of the "consequences" phase of post-truth living. It's a first reminder of a big truth: reality bats last.
  • 5 July 2018: I just got a rare glimpse into the broken economic mind of many modern progressives in two short sentences: "Modern capitalism is devoid of caring. Caring is where the government comes in." I don't know where this came from, but it wasn't any accredited civics or ethics course.
  • 3 July 2018: When I see 20- and 30-something middle-class college grads complaining about the bourgeoisie, I just don't know.
  • 1 July 2018: I'm going to say that it depends on how you define a hegemony of power and leave it at that then. I'm not going to try to convince you of the obvious because there are other ways to interpret power.
  • 1 July 2018: I'm against this perversion as much as you are.
  • 1 July 2018: Start with Title IX. They also hold the keys to pedagogy, thus education, and to social work praxis. It also seems a long think on Rebecca Tuvel, Bruce Gilley, James Damore, and Tim Hunt is in order. If you can't see that as a kind of power, then you're beyond help.
  • 1 July 2018: This is the crucial point. They hold the power and keep getting away with a claim that they don't.
  • 26 June 2018: Thanks, hipsters.
  • 26 June 2018: Nah, I just got lucky. It was a one-off. Exactly one was literal.
  • 26 June 2018: I've had exactly one good IPA, made in small batches by a true master brewer (who even imported the water). I'd not know it was an IPA had it not been explained to me.
  • 26 June 2018: I've asserted for nearly a decade that no one really likes IPAs (or goses, or sours, or farmhouse ales, more recently). They sure do like accessible elitism and social standing, though. https://twitter.com/deimachy/status/1011392776599228417
  • 20 June 2018: If it is critical studies, you can judge it. This isn't stereotyping; it's what critical studies does.
  • 20 June 2018: Don't get suckered in. It's a way to cover for the fact that he's problematizing it, as goes the fashion of the day.
  • 20 June 2018: It likely isn't. This is standard-issue fare from what is collectively known as critical science and technology studies (or here, critical mathematics studies, which is another topic mentioned in the ToC of this book).
  • 20 June 2018: WE INVENTED PIE!
  • 19 June 2018: As a mathematician, wat?! https://twitter.com/campusreform/status/1009216488430014464
  • 9 June 2018: @MatthewFacciani @HPluckrose @alangnixon @0ncefutur3 Yes. I live in Knoxville, TN. You're not telling me anything I don't know extremely well. That point is irrelevant to the current discussion and concerns. I'm not sure if you're obfuscating intentionally or not, but it's not helping.
  • 9 June 2018: @PhilTheofanos They're mostly telling me I don't really know what it is or how useful it can be. One guy got really pedantic and tried to insist that I was confusing postmodernist philosophy and poststructuralism, as though anyone cares.
  • 9 June 2018: @xmjEE Its tweeter was aware. We learned better. Threw it out.
  • 3 June 2018: RT @AubreyHolloman: @GodDoesnt It's just precious, isn't it? Remember when any Republican who deviated from the platform on any issue was i…
  • 20 May 2018: @Hollymathnerd Hurt my lower back while working out yesterday. It's bad, so no, actually. But Twitter is a cesspool, and I'm not playing games with it.
  • 7 May 2018: @Tigerlore88 Obviously not. Do as you will.
  • 6 May 2018: @CapsicumLaude @Halalcoholism Broco-taco is pretty awesome. Ground beef, finely chopped broccoli, all the usual taco seasonings. Better than expected.
  • 30 April 2018: TFW you try to read an NYT homage to Karl Marx but it's behind a paywall because you've read your free articles for the month. And then when you open it in an incognito window to read it anyway, and there are ads all over the page. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/30/opinion/karl-marx-at-200-influence.html
  • 24 April 2018: @antihero_kate @J_indetroit People masturbating is a-okay with me, dude. The more the merrier.
  • 24 April 2018: @J_indetroit it couldn't possibly have anything to do with, say, the civil unrest of the 60s and early 70s followed by the stagflation of the 1970s followed by the growing wealth inequality that really took off following that period. Nothing at all. Just for one possible confounding variable.
  • 20 April 2018: @lanticavirtu I'm really surprised that people don't see that taxes provide the means to make projects like agriculture (and public works) much more efficient and effective in ways private enterprise basically never would, thus enabling lots more freedom, thus more innovation and gain.
  • 19 April 2018: @HoodieDemon LUL
  • 19 April 2018: @DanBrookmanBIG @antihero_kate @christianjbdev You want this one, @SubBeck?
  • 19 April 2018: To say it. https://t.co/VJ5YDf9AoH
  • 19 April 2018: @hxn Didn't you already tweet this?
  • 19 April 2018: I'm not pretending, and I don't have real discussions on Twitter. It's not the forum for it. https://t.co/9TSmsbV6U2
  • 12 April 2018: @obaidomer @MsMelChen @sapinker They call it "la petite mort," I think.
  • 12 April 2018: I think I'm rooting for this to be true, if only to see the look on Evangelicals' faces when they come to realize they've sided with the Antichrist. https://t.co/q7qlYPYmDy
  • 12 April 2018: @antihero_kate But do pay attention to fireproof. https://t.co/QQSXU03Vag
  • 10 April 2018: RT @JonHaidt: Thread: Mill made three brilliant arguments against censorship. Not the kind from government, but the more common censorship…
  • 4 April 2018: "Diversity" "Inclusion" "Equity" "Racism" "Sexism" "Misogynist" "Nazi" https://twitter.com/AmandaMarcotte/status/980929354329968641
  • 27 March 2018: RT @RandySVoges: Latest must-read from @GodDoesnt and @HPluckrose: A Principled Defense of the University https://t.co/O1AdLsbXIR
  • 20 March 2018: What this could turn into for me, if I let it, is a reminder not to attempt to engage an earnest person ( @mariustalks ) honestly, especially in a limited-length environment, because it will be taken up by dishonest and angry people as an attempt to derail the discussion.
  • 20 March 2018: Category 5 Meltdown. https://t.co/4kZDnVpUwD
  • 18 March 2018: @mjaeckel Granted, it's only religious conservatives, but "God said it; I believe it; that settles it" is a perennial favorite. Or "we're the party of fiscal responsibility" or "tax-and-spend Democrats" or "the only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun" or "free marke
  • 18 March 2018: @StefMacWilliams @sapinker Likewise.
  • 15 March 2018: Mhm. So consider the gun-operator system to be analogous to a radioactive source. Yawn. It's a model, not a description. https://t.co/kp7WCD5WUN
  • 14 March 2018: @ChritchleyPeter @_attlee @keithfrankish Tell you later
  • 13 March 2018: @_attlee @ChritchleyPeter @keithfrankish If you want to be silly about things, yes. If you're a genius, however, you see how it's goal-directeness (almost) all the way down.
  • 10 March 2018: If ten people tell me that they see what I mean, I'll stop quote tweeting moral philosophers. https://t.co/owMyrWD22z
  • 9 March 2018: RT @SamHarrisOrg: We’re All Fascists Now https://t.co/0SSLg2IF8q
  • 6 March 2018: Oh sweet Jesus, here we go. All those years studying the philosophy and psychology of religion... what a waste... let me reconsider my whole life. https://t.co/OfEkqAw5ZG
  • 6 March 2018: It's criminal trespassing to enter a classroom uninvited, even ignoring the targeted harassment. Yes. Calling people snowflakes merely reveals your ignorance and bias. https://t.co/ahqhQ2abUk
  • 6 March 2018: @_attlee @Evolving_Ego It requires the metajudgment that it's more moral not to judge cultures.
  • 5 March 2018: In this sense, "silence is complicity" is fundamentally anti-skeptical, though this view strongly disagrees with the Guardians of Skepticism who call every skeptic (except themselves!) a sexual miscreant these days. https://t.co/EhHvP2mWSr
  • 3 March 2018: Everyday sexism. https://t.co/AGLYFYruzz
  • 3 March 2018: @jkspradlin I usually just hear them as some kind of knee-jerk from rubes, indeed.
  • 2 March 2018: @HPluckrose @peterboghossian
  • 27 February 2018: No, not quite. Religions are, at bottom, moral communities that have equipped themselves with more. Most moral communities share some of these traits in common, but they get stronger as the communities take on ideology and a lack of willingness to be questioned (sacredness). https://t.co/yM55wuQD4z
  • 18 February 2018: @DJJustJules @HPluckrose @HeatherEHeying It is.
  • 17 February 2018: @spearofsolomon SAD, probably
  • 9 February 2018: @mirandachale @CColose I can tell you that approximately 40-50% of the professional astronomy community at present cannot distinguish, and probably 15-20% of them are these people in greater or lesser degree, though they at least understand the significance of the launch.
  • 8 February 2018: I did a couple of threads on gender a few months ago. In honor of coming across this nonsense, I'll minithread here today to re-up them. https://t.co/sOPrdyTmgd
  • 6 February 2018: It's also entirely possible that the market has been steadily growing in an unrealistically good way (a kind of bubble) and massively corrected in a single spooking. This could have perhaps been on Trumpian pro-business optimism suddenly getting shaky or for other reasons.
  • 2 February 2018: RT @nxthompson: A 67-year-old retiree solved one of math's hardest problems, typed it up in MS word, and posted online. https://t.co/cJAGit…
  • 31 January 2018: Virtue signaled. https://t.co/wTS92tHiwY
  • 27 January 2018: Finally, a practical answer to the Euthyphro Dilemma: what is morally good is so because it is commanded by the Messiah figure in chief. https://t.co/ICcH6HbZhm
  • 27 January 2018: @MarcCountry Listening to Craig makes me wish the world would catch on fire. I hear you.
  • 26 January 2018: Watching Evangelical Christianity continually piss on itself in Trump's America is really delicious viewing. https://twitter.com/JerryFalwellJr/status/956682026714845184
  • 22 January 2018: @CallMeMisterD It's affective.
  • 22 January 2018: @herThoughtCrime @BikerChick9999 @lucasjlynch @HPluckrose Eric Weinstein is on the same list as Matt Walsh? 😂😂
  • 19 January 2018: @BlackAdder256 What if I told you I'm being intentionally vague, for now?
  • 17 January 2018: @IonaItalia Maybe. Hard to tell. Maybe that's good.
  • 17 January 2018: This is not normal. https://t.co/p4241hhHTS
  • 15 January 2018: It may not be exaggerating that our biggest cultural problem, which impacts both politics and economics in dramatic ways, is that we haven't learned how to deal with social media outrage explosions yet. They tell us something, but we're bad at knowing what.
  • 15 January 2018: Social media outrage eruptions have carried far too much cultural weight already and, for all the good they sometimes do, they've unfortunately rendered themselves "what social media does." The activist movement that cried wolf (and pretty much every movement qualifies by now).
  • 15 January 2018: Honestly, this is probably the most important sentence, though I agree with Sommers and the real point of the essay too, obviously. "The story quickly went viral and social media did what social media does: explode into outrage." https://twitter.com/CHSommers/status/953047770222514177
  • 14 January 2018: @KidinaSandbox Um, no. I just tweeted it now.
  • 13 January 2018: Ah, so the hay is mostly straw.
  • 13 January 2018: Do you know anything specific about the drama around Mark Wahlberg's thing now? He was paid lots, the co-starring woman comparatively very little. I figure this is unlikely to be discriminatory, but there's much hay. I'd like to understand why it was such a huge difference.
  • 12 January 2018: Thank goodness I don't yet. ;)
  • 12 January 2018: shakes fist in your general direction
  • 12 January 2018: You're in a Google swamp if all you can find in the first several pages of a search to resolve the facts of some partisan issue is lots of people arguing or repeating the same thing you suspect is BS and want to resolve to begin with.
  • 12 January 2018: PS: A long time ago, I made up a term for that problem when you go to search some controversial topic on a search engine (in order to sort out what's real about it) and can't because of infinity motivated nonsense pages: "Google swamp." You can use it if you like it.
  • 12 January 2018: I do not trust this assessment of trust.
  • 12 January 2018: It would have to be an expert not on expertise, but on the relevant experts in the given domain of thought. I tried that route too by asking someone I know to be generally knowledgeable about this stuff. He said there's so much outrage he doesn't know for sure either.
  • 12 January 2018: The problem is that apparent moral authority, plus a good headshot and maybe a blue tick, makes a passing image of legitimate (epistemological) authority. How am I to figure out what's legitimate and what's outrage or hype here? I have a PhD and can't figure it out. Laypeople?!
  • 12 January 2018: For example, to add context, I finally decided that maybe I should try to look into this celebrity pay thing, thinking relevant facts must be being left out somehow. This search, however, is impossible because of the multitude of voices weighing in.
  • 12 January 2018: It feels like one of our major problems with the death of expertise (cf. @RadioFreeTom ) is that it's really hard to tell who experts are anymore. So many people are talking and projecting serious images. "Who can I trust? Who should I ignore?" are amazingly hard questions now.
  • 11 January 2018: RT @RealPeerReview: In South Texas, salsa sauces apparently construct masculinities https://t.co/37eFssKikN https://t.co/YPX049Xo1p
  • 11 January 2018: @matthewasears Ultimately, Foucault was quite good on certain points about criminality and mental illness, and it was good he talked about homosexuality in such a frank way, but none of this justifies the loads of pretentious crap (the theory part) that came with most of his work.
  • 10 January 2018: We're in a huge culture war over whose authoritarians are worse when it's authoritarianism itself that is the problem.
  • 10 January 2018: Coffee peeps! Kopi Luwak: Ultra smooth, highly refined, very low bitterness but not sweet, pleasantly thin body, middle-of-the-road wet process flavor with a unique tanginess (for lack of a better word). Worth the try but not at the price (plus dubious ethics surrounding it now).
  • 8 January 2018: @kirbmarc @tanya_stahler @ladysonder Add in Bateman's Principle, and most of the gendered nature of the problems related to this issue are explained in a single stroke. Of course, gender critical methodologies reject Bateman's Principle, creating a big weakness for third-wave feminism.

  • 7 January 2018: Ask them about the Confederate flag.
  • 7 January 2018: 10 points for that fine-graded distinction!
  • 7 January 2018: People seem really to have objected to the personality part.
  • 7 January 2018: Be cause nerds do it better. https://t.co/5NS7HBhDbq
  • 6 January 2018: As a mathematician, this is offensive. This is not what random means. pic.twitter.com/hn942AR1pZ
  • 6 January 2018: I'm not so sure, actually. The subject matter is very different, though, and the left's thing is a lot bigger and grabs more attention.
  • 6 January 2018: Well, not really, are they, Kaepernick?
  • 6 January 2018: A lot of these angry hard leftists are too angry to recognize how snide I was about the right throughout my essay. E.g., "rather than believing that my populist right-wing neighbors are just dupes to propaganda, I find it more compelling to believe that they also have a point."
  • 6 January 2018: I hope you mean Mein Kampf, Volume 1, Chapter 11.
  • 6 January 2018: As them about Columbus Day.
  • 6 January 2018: Ok then.
  • 6 January 2018: Moore was demonstrably worse, I think, not to take away from your point. You maybe should re-read my essay, though. I think we want the same thing.
  • 6 January 2018: A lot of them did. Others sat out as happened with the Moore election. We needed more to sit out, but they were stirred into a "lesser of two evils" choice from their perspective. They wouldn't have voted for many Democrats.
  • 6 January 2018: Heck: where one goes if he doesn't believe in gosh. https://t.co/O9j4aHTojj
  • 6 January 2018: I reject the New Center too, actually. I'm a left-side (probably 5/10 left) independent thinker who opposes authoritarianism and fundamentalism (see Rauch's Kindly Inquisitors) and supports the liberal project with progressive economics and incremental social justice.
  • 6 January 2018: She's mad I made a clever joke that she didn't get.
  • 6 January 2018: Have a look at the President's timeline this morning. Just go look at it. I'll wait. Okay, now ask yourself how you, dear liberal, dear leftist, could possibly convince someone who loves that – because they hate you – to change their minds about politics. That's my essay.
  • 6 January 2018: Liberals, you can't successfully fight hardliners, but you can save the broad left-leaning mass from buying the far left's nonsense and prevent the center-right from voting reflexively to stop the leftists. Here's how. https://areomagazine.com/2018/01/02/why-im-a-liberal-who-fights-the-left-even-in-the-age-of-trump/
  • 6 January 2018: @SubBeck I think I was in upstate NY when that happened. It was -56 where we were.
  • 6 January 2018: @Joemanji84 @notmemyego This gif is why we need feminism, Joe.
  • 5 January 2018: @imajestyliz @HPluckrose @iamcuriousblue @PsychRabble @QuilletteM You do you, I guess.
  • 3 January 2018: On the flip side, why didn't we go after a different field in the humanities, like literary studies? Who cares about it? What impact does it have? Granted, criticism-based literary studies are shit and strip the human out of the humanities, but that's true academic arcana.
  • 3 January 2018: Then there's the matter of the real problems in society related to gender, including but not at all limited to issues for trans and queer people. I'd like to see those actually get solved, and social constructivism actually stands in the way of progress by having poor footing.
  • 3 January 2018: Feminist media studies are perhaps the most annoying thing on the planet, and it creates further problems by exaggerating the degree to which we should believe that our media is somehow biased against women and other groups. It's constant rabble-rousing nonsense.
  • 3 January 2018: Feminist pedagogy is a nightmare. The idea that our educational programs need to be designed around gender theory and social justice objectives is not only troublesome on its own, it gives true weight to the right-wing claim that education is leftist indoctrination.
  • 3 January 2018: So, why did I target gender studies instead of other disciplines? Its activism. Feminist science studies (calling science sexist to remake it for feminist purposes) is abhorrent and dangerous, and if it succeeds, it's a new form of Lysenkoism. Yes, it's that bad.
  • 3 January 2018: Feminist science studies (and the postcolonial kind too). Feminist pedagogy (educational theory), plus similar. Feminist media studies (if only because it's obscenely annoying). Truly caring about real problems to do with gender and sexuality, which social constructivism hurts. https://twitter.com/sacredcowpats/status/948668276107722752
  • 3 January 2018: So, feminist scholarship falsely credentials feminist activism, especially within the highly balkanized and left-leaning thus ophobophobic university, extending to media, government, etc., so that feminist scholarship ends up being very influential while being un-care-about-able.
  • 3 January 2018: Academics and administrators (who cannot possibly care about feminist scholarship except in that it exists, which isn't the same thing as caring about it) then think "oh, feminist scholars are experts on this stuff, let's make a diversity board and bias response team!"
  • 3 January 2018: @QuilletteM Feminist scholars and activists (the former being a set nearly completely nested within the latter) use the existence of feminist scholarship to create the appearance of credentials and studies "demonstrating" the claimed need for their activism and solutions.
  • 3 January 2018: First, feminist scholarship isn't feminism isn't gender equality. They're separate (but related) concepts. Feminist scholarship, particularly its details, methodology, philosophical framing, etc., is something no one cares about. Lots of people care about gender equality, tho.
  • 3 January 2018: By far the predominant criticism of my recent essay about feminist scholarship is that I didn't sufficiently address how something no one cares about can be influential and am thus a fool. Amazingly, I'm not that stupid. I'll explain here a bit, then?
  • 2 January 2018: Ooh, it was from someone who was in the room with us in Sydney. How exciting.
  • 2 January 2018: I will just keep on mocking and talking over, then, until they deal with my position.
  • 2 January 2018: It's not your job to save everybody. Let people be.
  • 2 January 2018: You see, generally, I don't think engagement is really all that important in most cases. Do we have to engage with street preachers? No. Do we have to engage with the average church preacher? No. Just present an alternative worldview and why it's superior and mostly ignore.
  • 2 January 2018: I'd rather if someone invites them to speak, they speak. Whoever wants to go, goes. Whoever doesn't stays home. People who want to write scathing critiques of it after the fact are encouraged to do so. Best is to leave the platform alone and just not go to speakers you don't like
  • 2 January 2018: It's a valid reason not to like them there, to ignore them, to criticize them and their being there, to refute what they present, etc.; it's not a valid reason to scream like hooligans until they're chased off their platform.
  • 2 January 2018: It's not bad, just really sugary.
  • 2 January 2018: I bought Patrón's XO Cafe liqueur to try it out, still have half a bottle...
  • 2 January 2018: I'm having one now, watching people react to it.
  • 2 January 2018: My newest piece for @QuilletteM , in which I point out how feminist scholarship is the academic equivalent of the magical island Wonder Woman is from and how that makes it such a big problem now. http://quillette.com/2018/01/02/no-one-cares-feminist-theory/
  • 2 January 2018: Thank you!
  • 2 January 2018: Cf. Islamic and other theocracies along with race-based hierarchical dictatorships (the Third Reich).
  • 2 January 2018: Fox News transmits culture.
  • 2 January 2018: My newest essay on @AreoMagazine explains why I spend most of my time criticizing the left instead of the right, despite being a liberal, and even more despite Trump. https://areomagazine.com/2018/01/02/why-im-a-liberal-who-fights-the-left-even-in-the-age-of-trump/
  • 1 January 2018: @EnlightFundy Me too.
  • 31 December 2017: @HenryTarquin Because it is integral to the view from the (originally academic) left that Muslims are severely oppressed and thus must be protected from criticism, especially from "imperialist" or "colonialist" powers, or white people.
  • 31 December 2017: @DiricoLB @MaajidNawaz @RubinReport Pro-tip, friend: Maajid coined the term "regressive left." 😂😂😂
  • 30 December 2017: @hws5mp @maostrap @brian_carnell I think about this an inordinate amount.
  • 28 December 2017: This normalized discrimination versus privilege is exactly the mindset we see in Ta-Nehisi Coates, which John McWhorter and others rightly excoriated. It keeps the critical theory engine running, but other than that, it doesn't do much. It's the wrong way to see the problem.
  • 28 December 2017: Wait until you find out about woke Evangelicalism.
  • 28 December 2017: They remind me of Jonathan Edwards' Puritan Calvinism, frankly, but weird.
  • 28 December 2017: Yes, that's the nearest thing, except it's not yet evolved to the phase where professed allyship confers grace. It's still in a self-loathing phase without avenue to atonement and redemption.
  • 28 December 2017: Only a certain fringe wants to go on beating itself forever. This movement already relies upon multiplying the vulnerabilities of young people and exploiting them.
  • 28 December 2017: Yes. I read an article about its emergence the other day, in fact, but I don't recall where. It's not clear what its political orientation is, meaning contemporary left or right, but it's traditionalist and socially woke at the same time, and it's rapidly growing.
  • 28 December 2017: Yes, obviously. I'm just suggesting that the bulk of the culturally relevant movement will join the woke church, and a new season of revivalism will come to pass under its boughs. It will require a bifurcation of the existing movement(s), not that that's out of their ordinary.
  • 28 December 2017: Unrelated, but worth pointing out here: the (Catholic) concept of Original Sin was, indeed, based upon an Augustinian translation of an inscription error, though the Sin of Adam (not perfectly analogous) and ancestral fault are far older ideas.
  • 28 December 2017: Sooner or later, the SocJus (quasi)-religion will come up with a convoluted redemption path or, far more likely, re-integrate itself into a religion that already offers one, probably the new woke Evangelical Christianity that's rapidly growing.
  • 28 December 2017: "Privilege" remains a reinvented form of original sin within a rapidly spreading quasi-religion concerned centrally with social justice. This religion, as of yet, lacks a redemption path -- privilege can be recognized but not expiated, even by activism.
  • 28 December 2017: These are all valid points, and yet dressing up not-being-discriminated-against (the flip side of discrimination) in the (ultimately pejorative, even culpable) term "privilege" is still a mistake. Discrimination, not its absence, is the problem, and it is what needs dealing with. https://twitter.com/MaxBoot/status/946116889377427458

  • 22 December 2017: Ultimately, Ideological Authoritarianism arises as a result of being unable to conventionalize one's sacred values (i.e. make everyone hold them) without the application of force. It is the result of what @jon_rauch calls the "fundamentalist impulse," which mismanages conflict.

  • 15 December 2017: I can give you even more words and lists like this, if you want.
  • 15 December 2017: How this works, by another example: 1) Define "inclusive" to mean "free of anything protected classes might find offensive." 2) Say, "We need inclusiveness for equality." 3) Wait until people go along with it. 4) Say said "equal" groups are a "protected class," and act that way.
  • 15 December 2017: How this works, by an example: 1) Define hurtful speech as "verbal violence." 2) Wait until this is relatively standard terminology. 3) Say, "technically, verbal violence is still a form of violence." 4) Insist speech can be violence. 5) Attempt to legislate this nonsense.

  • 14 July 2017: Better models of gender should be able to make statistical predictions based upon very large, rigorously analyzed data sets.
  • 14 July 2017: The scientific enterprise tries to identify the best model for the available data. When a school of thought rejects this, it's a bad sign.
  • 14 July 2017: The problem with critical "theory" and constructivist models of gender is that they fail all of these criteria. They're not good models.
  • 14 July 2017: When a model seems to explain everything, but only very superficially, it usually means that model is immature or isn't serious.
