I'm critical of the postmodernism, ID politics & cultural relativism of current feminism. I support right to reject traditional gender roles
-
-
It is unreasonable, illiberal & completely inconsistent with criticism of identity politics to insist gender roles fit all members of each.
-
A reasonable & consistent person will oppose both far-left identity politics & far-right rigid gender roles (which are also ID politics)
-
We can say that women are on average shorter than men without saying that really tall women aren't "real women".

No one is ever "left alone" or ever could be so that thought experiment is not reasonable - my "insane"
#postmodernist tweet! -
You just need further qualification. Of course I do not mean 'isolated from humanity' by 'left alone' but 'given free choice.'
-
Given free choice. Isn't that what Identity politics is all about? It's a hopeless ideal but why throw around the abuse?
-
Could you rephrase? My point is that the more freedom men & women have to choose jobs, the more differently they choose.
-
Thought this was the 'gender is a social construct' vs. innateness of male/female binary heated debate - wrong room!
-
It is! I just didn't understand your tweet abt it. Also, it is not a binary argument like that which I'm sure you know.
-
Is it a binary argument like this/that, yes/no? sane/insane? I'm lost.
-
Not 'gender is a social construct' vs. innateness of male/female binary. Both exist & how much depends on definitions
