      I guess I’d put it like this. These discussions with you are gems, and atypical. The face of the social justice movement is not of reasoned dialogue, but of protest. Rarely do I see SJWs defending their claims with more than unsubstantiated cries of bigotry, and shaming.

      Setting aside how accurate that is, if you believe that, it would behoove you to point people my way for the sake of good dialogue, and not just try to convince me there are some fringe bad actors on all sides. Help me help people argue better.

      @ETVPod meet @HPluckrose. I’d love to hear you two discuss PoMo, identity politics, gender differences, social justice, and music.

      Replying to @HPluckrose @ETVPod and

      Well this is a bit embarrassing. My claim has been, like the gender studies profs at PSU, too few social justice advocates are willing to defend their side, electing to shame and boycott their critics. Is there a particular reason you won’t argue with ETV, or just busy?

      We have tried before with frustrating results. I can only talk to people if they address what I am actually saying. Disagreement is fine. Persistent (deliberate?) misunderstanding and point-missing just make it a waste of time. It's OK. There are other people to talk to.

      We disagreed over terminology that I thought was very relevant to her point. I’m glad that she at least agrees with me about the actual threat vs the perceived one by fearmongers, but it seems like my form of Socratic dialogue is not her cup of tea. So it goes.

      That's right, yes. We were unable to discuss the substance of the issue I was raising about the problem of having different ethical expectations of different cultures because of your insistence on focusing instead on whether cultural relativism was the right term for the problem.

      I remove myself from such conversations if a person keeps focusing on semantics after a maximum of three attempts of clarifying my meaning & asking that person to instead address what I mean rather than what they think I should call what I mean.

      I did this after getting bogged down in what is the correct definition of 'atheist' and 'feminist' so many times and never getting to actually discuss arguments against the existence of God or how to go about achieving gender equality.

          Cool. My goal is never to bog down, only to get clear on shared terminology before moving forward. Otherwise you just have to start over halfway through.

          This is the problem tho. People never agree to share terminology. They just argue forever about whether an atheist is someone who lacks belief in God or holds a belief that God does not exist. Very very tedious. Much better to establish what they mean by a word & get to substance

          I never called myself one until hearing the passive version. Seven on the Dawkins scale seems like too much certainty. We simply can’t know some things.
