    Helen Pluckrose Retweeted Afua Hirsch

    Perfect example of the resistance to criticism @goddoesnt was talking about re:feminist theory recently. If you agree everything is sexist/racist, that shows it is & we need activism. If you disagree, it shows how deeply entrenched it is & how much we need activismhttps://twitter.com/afuahirsch/status/957357558125211648 …

    This is one of the nastiest & most bitter reviews of any book I’ve ever read. Unhappily for author it effectively confirms my point- the prejudice & hostility that still exists in this country towards ppl like me who dare to regard our voice as legitimate https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/saturday-review/review-brit-ish-on-race-identity-and-belonging-by-afua-hirsch-bxzgjbt0h … pic.twitter.com/4pUrqWf9Ya

        Freud: If you disagree with the concept of Oedipus Complex, that's your reaction formation and proof of your Oedipus Complex. #Feminist: If you disagree with the concept of Rape Culture, that's Rape Culture expressing itself through you, and proof that we live in a Rape Culture.

        Michael A. Lowry Retweeted Helen Pluckrose

        The intransigent authoritarian ideologue always sees criticism as evidence of at best, ignorance, and at worst, malice. It’s like in an inquisition or witch hunt: protestations of innocence are seen as evidence of guilt. @HPluckrose @GodDoesnthttps://twitter.com/HPluckrose/status/957922435357081600 …

        To be fair to @afuahirsch, Henderson’s needlessly disdainful, sarcastic & mocking tone greatly undermines his legitimate criticisms. He contributes to the polemic he so laments.

        Replying to @HPluckrose @Fox_Claire @GodDoesnt

        Race activists, like feminist activists, are increasingly less interested in equality but rather in "special treatment"...and so people are becoming increasingly tired of it all.. Afua, like many other people, just arent happy with themselves.

        I continue to not see this sort of nonsense among the actual people I know, including liberals, yet it seems to be a spreading. I am either paranoid, or bad ideas spread via channels I don't understand.

        It would appear people are finally getting fed up with the Moaning Industrial Complex.

        Isn’t that what they call a non-falsifiable theory? Woman 1: men are sexist Feminist theory: yaaay, there’s your predictive validity Woman 2: I haven’t experience xyz FT: because you have internalized xyz, you don’t even know you are being discriminated against

        Most obvious prob: activist scholarship rooted in predetermined notion that all probs require more activism. Less obvious prob: false equivalence bw possible bias & overt bias. Final prob: this new academic industry perpetuates itself & aggressively brands dissenters as heretics

        Exactly, it doesn't confirm or deny anything other than its a bad review which she used rather cleverly to promote her book.

        To be honest, I’d have to read to book to understand where either is coming from. Personally, from reading both the review and comment. It sounds like they are both wingeing
