Helen @HPluckrose’s survey of women oppressed by postmodernist & other fashionable obscurantist orthodoxieshttp://bit.ly/2yFhBay
I'm not conflating anything. I'm saying what we mean by postmodernism - those ideas about objective truth, social construction by discourse, power structures which evolved through critical theory, activism and politics.

You can point out that postmodernism is a much bigger thing than that and you'd be right. You can even argue that because of this, we should find a different word but I'm not here to argue semantics. Here to address these particular problems which stemmed from postmodernism.
-
Except there’s no evidence (that I’ve seen) of any such causation - do share your evidence of causation. Thanks.
-
Causation of what? Do you want current critical theorists using postmodernist thought? Or current SocJus using current critical theory? You're not aware of Kimberlé Crenshaw drawing on PoMo & SocJus drawing on intersectionality & Critical Race Theory? Or Butler? Said?

I am not sure how I got into this thread but if you 2 could please untag me that would be great. thanks in advance and happy debating
-
I'm muting this conversation now anyway. I waste too much time on people who just want to be rude online and have nothing to say.
-
Helen of course you will reply and then “mute”. It’s what intellectual weaklings do best. (Sorry Christina, not sure how to untag you :( )
-
You're not really saying anything. Just being abusive and antagonistic. I get a lot of tweets. I don't need to put up with time wasters,
-
Yes I am clearly saying something and no I’m not being abusive. You’re just searching for an exit strategy.

Ironically, the common theme to your post is critical analysis. Which you seem to lack.
-
You're not really saying anything. What is the source of our disagreement? Do you want to defend postmodernism or current Social Justice activism or universities or what?
