      The goal, as with things like systemic racism, is to help both men and women get out from under a damaging system.

      see i lose the plot here again. how does the idea of only individuals having agency work with notions like systemic racism?

      so, look at crime stats. They suggest that blacks commit more crime, but that ignores their higher rates of stops for comparable crimes.

      yeah this is inverse of the same question i end up asking racists who quote crime stats as justification for hatred

      When you challenge them on using those stats, you're doing postmodern critique of a naive view of statistics.

      well no, i use mathematical principles. like the fact that statistics reifies through probabilities when you break the abstraction

      I think the confusion is in thinking it's PoMo math. It's just math, but the thinking that goes into the process before hand is PoMo

      At least now we're all raised to know about our confirmation biases.

      But PoMo undermines this. It valorises confirmation biases. We are taught how to practice confirmation bias in universities.

          If you want to find racism, read everything as racist. Same for sexism & homophobia etc.

          Where you never asked 'Do a feminist reading' 'Do a queer reading' 'Do a Marxist reading' & get completely different meanings from a text?

          This can be a fun experiment in seeing how differently we can read but when this goes into activism, ppl pick one & declare it true.

          When people reify it as truth, that's a mistake, but it's not unique to PoMo and can still be challenged within the system.

          I am talking about PoMo. Those sets of ideas are called postmodernism.

          If anyone is saying discourses create knowledge, knowledge is subjective, gender is a social construct etc etc, they're doing postmodernism.

          My profs used the symbolism of different lenses. Put on feminist lenses & you only see things in terms of how women are disadvantaged etc.

          For me, lenses were different modes of critique, not biases you assumed as essentially true merely by considering them.
