Feminism is the radical notion that not all women are NPCs
-
-
it's the only real level though
-
Is the assessment correct because feminism is not the same as the belief that women aren’t all NPCs? Or is it correct because it’s logically impossible for Greer to believe women aren’t all NPCs, given her views on rape sentencing/trans rights?
-
the second one, as mentioned in a separate post.
-
They really seem to be separate claims though. One is about the nature of what it is to be a person. Whereas the others are I) a view on appropriate punishments for crimes and 2) a view on the appropriate rights for trans people. What am I missing?
-
that a claim about one's nature can be falsified by one's positions.
-
Why is expressing a view about criminal punishments/sentences, inconsistent with the claim “All homo sapiens - including all women - are people?” Are there any other crimes where expressing a view about the appropriate punishments is inconsistent with that claim?
-
"All homo sapiens are people", if it means anything, means "All people deserve some set of rights". It follows that "trans people don't deserve a subset of those rights" implies "trans people aren't people."
-
As it happens, object level, i’m sympathetic to trans rights (INGROUP SIGNALLING!). But i am unpersuaded that believing all Homo sapiens are people is tautologically the same as saying trans people can self id for all legal purposes. (Although as noted I do support that anyway).
