Xenofeminism is a rationalism. Rationalism must itself be a feminism.

Lmao sorry to point it out but this is just the sort of textbook logical error that an anti-feminist would use against the claims of feminine/feminist "reason." (Excuse the scare quotes.) Still, carry on. I like where you're going. Don't think an error can't be generative!

I'm an amateur logician, yet I am not sure of the error here. Can you please point out the error?

Without looking it up, which would be boring, I think it's a misapplication of the disjunctive syllogism, which should look like this: A) People who know logic qualify as logicians. B) Sinistral knows logic. Therefore: C) Sinistral is a logician.

That's modus ponens though, isn't it? A disjunctive syllogism follows P ∨ Q, ¬P ⊢ Q Whereas, your argument seems to follow P → Q, P ⊢ Q (modus ponens) Also, "Rationalism itself must be a feminism" isn't meant to follow as a conclusion from "Xenofeminism is a rationalism."

Rather, "Rationalism itself must be a feminism" should be read in the imperative mode rather than declarative. "Must be" as in "ought to be" rather than "must be" as in "it is."

Nice. Very nice. You clearly know your stuff. I think it was both the context ("rationalism") and the arrangement which made me think you were making a formally logical deduction in the original post. But my phone won't render the logic symbols in full, so... I cannot follow.

Thanks! But I think I might've been mistaken about the argument form being modus ponens... rather, after going over it a second time, I think it's the close relative hypothetical syllogism. MP: P implies Q, P therefore Q HS: P implies Q, Q implies R, P therefore R I don't know.

Yes! I think you've nailed it. I think we got there together -- evidently you're following a few prompts from the above. Nice work, team.
