If the claim is that men are oppressive, entitled, misogynistic & violent, then clearly #NotAtllMen #VeryFewMen #FFS
If the claim is that men can be perceived as oppressive, entitled, misogynistic & violent just for existing by this kind of feminist, then #YesAllMenhttps://twitter.com/MichaelGLFlood/status/990543996811333632 …

I love
@thesadredearth's suggestion of 'New Logocentrism' which goes right to the root of the epistemological problem - social constructivism rooted in language - but I'm also wary of neologisms that are not immediately comprehensible to all & will put people off.Show this thread -
Postmodernism is notoriously difficult to understand and this leads people to give up or latch on to largely erroneous but graspable explanations like 'cultural Marxism' which misses the epistemological framework which is essential to understand.

And that framework isn't nearly as complicated as postmodernists make it out to be. The few core ideas causing us so many problems are actually quite simple to break down and explain although they are counterintuitive to both liberal & conservative conceptions of fairness.

It's a mistake to think of this as an epistemology. If you do that they have you.
-
Well, I don't think it's a valid one. But how else do I address the epistemological problems?
-
Call it a world view. But as humans we only have a certain number of ways to know the world. Empiricism, rationalism, pragmatism, conventionalism, standpoint. Mostly, you'll find all approaches use an ad mixture of many of these. 1/
-
This is standpoint.
-
No, it's not just standpoint. It makes ontological claims and that's where the real differences are.
-
The epistemology does?
-
No, epistemology asks questions about the nature of knowledge, where does knowledge come from etc... You can make all sorts of claims about the world, the epistemological question is how do you know your claims are correct. I've got $20 in my wallet. How do I know that...
-
Yes, thank you. I know what epistemology is. This was why I was asking how it can also be ontology. Never mind. Clearly some wires crossed. This is the epistemology I am referring to.https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/02691728.2013.782585 …

Therein lies the problem: “postmodernism” becomes a catch-all term for a small range of outlooks; including shades of solipsism grounded in radical selfishness.
-
I suspect the culprit lies in a macabre hybridisation of correspondence and coherence theories of truth, under the command of emotional reasoning, with degrees of self-loathing exacerbating things.
