Thanks Helen. While I have your attention... can u please start a YouTube channel or podcast? I’ve been scouring for charismatic intellectual women and you appear to be one of very very few!

@IonaItalia and I are thinking of setting up a podcast but there's not much interest. Also, I am not very charismatic in person! XD But thank you! -
I first learned about u at the PSU event... u got more charismatic as u warmed up ;) I bet there’s more interest than u think. But maybe women are just too damn humble! Anyway, thanx and keep doing what u do :)

Ah! I got a lot more confident by the end of that week!

Productive in that their aim was to tear down structural barriers to equality of opportunity. This PoMo wave seems to be enveloped in an ideology of tearing down the fabric of Western civilization itself, and establishing a tyranny in collective equality of outcome.
-
It's not even about equality of individual outcome, it's equality of median group outcome, which is even worse. Theoretically equality of median group outcome can be reached by elevating a few within a disadvantaged group while leaving others as they are.
-
That’s mean. Median is the middle score - raising it requires elevating a hell of a lot more people than the mean. Hashtag; data pedantry. Sorry.
-
No, you're right. I like being corrected, if the correction is right.

The focus on "privileges" rather than rights is something that can be useful in a small group atmosphere, but bugs me when applied to politics. Not being treated with suspicion by shopstaff due to skin color when browsing in a store seems a right, not a privilege

Couldn’t agree more. I voted FOR marriage equality and support gender equality, yet I’m deeply disturbed by the identity politics that seems so prevalent in the left these days. Progressivism historically contributed to the increased freedom and liberty. Now it’s become the enemy

When you say 'postmodernism,' are you referring to the implicit assumption that truth is relative to perspective, time, etc? Or do you mean something else?
-
And when other people use this word, is this also what they are generally referring to?

I would say that 2nd/1st wave was a fraud, & was not how they like to present it. It never went from women can't vote, to women could. It went from land owners to citizens. And nobody talks about prohibition coming from it. Or the cowardly backlash against women being drafted.
