    You know a philosophy is bad when it can be deconstructed and mocked in under 10 seconds.

    Amazing clip. He just throws the logic behind that kind of philosophy right back that quickly. I

    LK, I am not sure where to leave this link. More toxicity from the PC Left. https://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2015/12/03/the-death-of-liberalism-goldsmiths-feminists-ally-with-muslims-opposing-feminist-speaker-maryam-namazie/

    Yes, feminists applauding shouting down a woman decrying infibulation, or barbaric laws on rape, or the legal status of women as inferiors.

      "her talk at Goldsmith’s was opposed by the college Feminist Society"

      Proof that feminism, at least as represented by "Feminist Society" there, has disgraced itself. Shame.

      Proof I think that these people do not care about policy or change, they are competing over a positional good.

      Absolute madness. I still think the movement as a whole has more legitimacy than MRAs because of their history, but they really need to clean up their act. Like with a lot of movements and economic schools of thought, there are many branches of feminism as well that I honestly don't know too much about, like sex-positive feminism and I've seen some of them speak out against this nonsense coming from possibly the radfem part of the movement.

    Well I am less impressed. Imagine an 18th century pope interviewed about the assault of the Enlightenment on the legacy of Scholasticism. I believe he might have a similar response.
    I am not saying I think Chomsky is wrong. I am saying this is not a rebuttal, deconstruction, or sharp riposte, it is only an expression of disagreement. You are all going "oh snap" but only because you're already on his side.
