@wallaceme @RupertMyers @timsquirrell totally absurd

-
@RupertMyers@Nero The debates I've set this term have been well-framed + sensitive, but have still delivered some brilliant argumentation. -
@timsquirrell@wallaceme@RupertMyers What a low opinion of women you must have, to think them this helpless and infantilised. -
.
@RupertMyers@Nero Why not? Why shouldn't they be sensitive? Why shouldn't we care about *where* we hold debates and their social context? -
@RupertMyers@Nero Because, as I've said before, what to some is an intellectual exercise is, to others, something which affects their lives -
@timsquirrell@RupertMyers You can, but be honest that you're closing down debate to spare feelings and cowing to pressure from agitators. -
@timsquirrell@RupertMyers And be cognisant of where that leads. -
@RupertMyers@Nero Yes. That is *exactly* what I'm saying. -
@timsquirrell@RupertMyers Then I guess we're done here. -
@RupertMyers@Nero But add in *certain contexts* and *certain framings of those topics* -
@RupertMyers@Nero Is it restricting your ability to live your life? Is it advocating an idea which would physically hurt you? No? -
@timsquirrell@RupertMyers@Nero if a fellow tenant of my home invited someone who I disagreed with about my autonomy, I'd debate with them -
@timsquirrell@RupertMyers@Nero or ignore them. This is quite a common part of human interaction... -
@RupertMyers@timsquirrell@Nero One of the Oxford protesters here; the biggest problem was that the debate was between two men (1/2) -
@RupertMyers@timsquirrell@Nero and the shoddy history of reproductive rights has been dominated by men speaking on behalf of women.(2/2) -
@RupertMyers@timsquirrell@Nero that's just how my photos always look -
@Nero@timsquirrell@wallaceme@RupertMyers bang on. Sexism of lower expectations -
@RupertMyers@timsquirrell@Nero (Ofc I'm stating the obvious - the whole of history has been dominated by men speaking on women's behalf!) -
@Madz_Grant@Nero@wallaceme@RupertMyers sorry no I'm not the prime mover here; other people, female people, argued it shouldn't happen
