      I am trying not to have so many Twitter rants about annoying Twitter behaviour and why it's annoying but I'm failing dismally. 1/347

      1) People determined to be very vague & general & never actually say anything in response to a very specific point.

      eg No good to make vague burbling noises abt culture being complex in response to a request for evidence that a specific 1 is misogynistic

      We can all chant the mantra 'Things aren't black and white. Both culture & nature have effects. People's experiences are different'

          Assume we all know this. What is needed now is a clear argument to explain why you think I'm wrong to say I don't live in a rape culture.

          I've given you my reasons for this - probably bullet-pointed & accompanied by half a dozen of my blogs.

          It's fine if you are one of those people who like to live in a fog of vagueness & make a virtue out of pseudo-profound obscurantism.

          It's fine if you do it away from me, that is. You need to talk to other ppl who talk like this, not people trying to discuss social reality.

          Because I will not be responding to vaguery. I'll be responding to a concrete claim that I don't think is supported & saying why.

          I think sometimes people think I lack nuance & am unaware of the complexities & ambiguities. This isn't completely unjustified.

          But it is in the way that matters.I don't think I have all the answers.I just think they exist & there are better ways to get closer to them

          So, well intentioned ppl who chip in to tell me everything is complicated & ambiguous & shifting & subjective, kindly stop it.

          Assume I know that society & psychology are messy & we don't have all the answers but that I don't think we shld just wallow in the mess.

          Also consider why you're targetting me with your profundities abt the ambiguity of everything & not the person I am responding to.

          Who is usually much more certain than me abt, say, patriarchal domination or a certain god existing & wanting certain things.
