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 …
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 …

That's exactly why you shouldn't use the term. I know that piece, and hundreds of others like it. By using it that way you're stepping into their universe and giving them the high ground and following their confusion. It's a category error.
-
No, I don't think so. I think we can show the problem with epistemologies like faith and standpoint theory as epistemologies without giving them any kind of highground.
