Kathleen Stock in particular is very well known for having no experience in the field of feminist philosophy before jumping into it suddenly a few years ago and sneering at everyone else in the field that there was nothing in particular to learn about it before doing so https://twitter.com/BradfemlyWalsh/status/1380964893281636354 …

I’d applaud the bravery (or unflinching arrogance?) it must take to repeatedly publicly challenge someone so clearly intellectually superior to you, but we both know that you wouldn’t do it if you actually thought she’d engage.

Do you seriously not see the irony of posting this under a tweet where Arthur Chu (Jeopardy contestant and mediocre columnist) complains that Kathleen Stock (PhD in Philosophy) does not have any understanding of feminist philosophy?

Yeah I didn't say I was more qualified than she was, just that she's unqualified You know that's how it works, right? It's not a contest between the person being discussed and whoever is talking right now? I don't have to direct any movies myself to talk about bad movies?

And my judgment that she's unqualified is mostly based on listening to people who are in fact more qualified That's kind of my point, that it's funny seeing all you people act like Kathleen Stock is the only female PhD to ever exist in the world

And hey look When Kathleen Stock specifically says some total bullshit like "nobody had the chutzpah to self-identify as a trans lesbian before 2015", I am actually more than qualified to call her an ignorant fool for saying it

Because that's a simple matter of historical fact, and she's really really obviously wrong about it (Janice Raymond was pitching this exact same fit over Sandy Stone being a trans lesbian in the fucking 1970s)

And even if I didn't know that basic fact, I would know she was an ignorant fool just from the fact that I, personally, know people who were out as trans lesbians before 2015

Saying I'm "unqualified" to correct a PhD scholar over an issue where the evidence of my own eyes and ears says she's blatantly wrong is the essence of supercilious ivory-tower arrogance

I myself am a PhD, erstwhile scholar now ex-academic, and Arthur's a more smart & nimble thinker than most of the PhDs i know.
