Then, in an ideal world, we get together and make these arguments strongly. Reserve telling people they're "not entitled to decide how and why the vast topic of gender should be studied" for those who are trying to decide this for *other people* by enforcing certain perspectives.

Like Applebaum, Weber and Bailey in Hypatia paper "Joke's on You" (HoH2) who justify having students agree to one perception of society or like the many people we have seen today who want the government to shut down gender studies programmes.

Telling someone they don't have the right to decide how things should be when they are making an argument for how things should be is bewildering. Do they believe the arguer thinks they have the right to decide things for everyone? Or do they think they shouldn't make arguments?

Whatever someone is arguing about how things should be approached, don't tell them they don't have the right to decide how things should be approached. We all have that right. We have no right to force *others* to approach it that way. We have to make our arguments win the day.

I think this usually means "You should respect all ways of knowing." Well, I don't. I respect your right to argue for all ways of knowing while disagreeing with the arguments you're making & not telling you that you're not entitled to decide we should respect all ways of knowing.

And this is why I need to go off Twitter. I have zero patience right now. I am tired out by all this and worried about a very sick family member. I need a break. No more checking notifications until at least next week.

citizen Cain does not understand satire at the heart of the hoax. It exposes self importance, and over the top identity analsyis. Also at times punitive analysis. That doesn't mean the people who wrote the hoax have the same self importance of what they make fun of.

This citizen is a non-sequiter. The hoax was satirical. It exposes the silliness and at times sourness of identity fixated moralizers. The hoax writers aren't claiming to be complete authorities on gender, unlike the people they satirize.
