2/ (very strongly) implied message here is that you can't simultaneously be an advocate for social justice
@LambdaLiterary @AliceDreger
3/ and care about the principles of truth, accuracy, and fairness in argument. It was a message I heard loud
@LambdaLiterary @AliceDreger
@jessesingal @emilynussbaum it was as if someone was nominated for an NAACP award for writing about how activists ruined Herrnstein & Murray
@jessesingal @emilynussbaum her book literally defended a book that had had its nomination rescinded by the same group in 2003
@jessesingal @emilynussbaum and worse one that said Bailey's pseudoscience was worth more than the lived experiences of people like me.
@jessesingal @emilynussbaum people she decried as activists. I'm not an activist, but neither am I a gay man nor a self-fetishizing pervert.
@leftoblique @emilynussbaum the entire campaign against bailey was built on lies about him and his subjects. that was what dreger wrote
@jessesingal @emilynussbaum perhaps a particular line of criticism was unfounded, but that doesn't make him less a monster. Why defend him?
@leftoblique @emilynussbaum he's not a monster. and they made up all kinds of shit about him. maybe read the book?
