1) This is an interesting thing that's going on re motivated reasoning. I'd call it problematizing & unproblematizing. (Fronx is great, btw)https://twitter.com/fronxer/status/881793851119325184 …

3) Disagreement so often revolves around accusations that someone is making a problem out of nothing or is dismissive of genuine problems
-
4) To solve this, what is needed is rigorous analysis of degree of problem but also good to ask yourself 'Could I be un/problematizing?'
-
5) And to avoid doing either in reaction. eg, if you feel feminism invents a lot of problems, cld be tempted to deproblematize real ones.

6) Fronx asked if I cld be coming from the position 'Everything is fine.' Could I? Could they be coming from position 'Everything is awful?'

7) Trying not to come from either of those position & seek evidence to confirm it seems like the way to discover extent of social justice.

I'm sure everything is not awful. I have a degree in STEM, have advanced my career in management, and enjoy online gaming in a mixed team

All this while being (and looking like) lesbian, and a proud non-mother. I don't pretend to live asphyxiated by patriarchy. That's bullshit.
