I just need to point out that this person is a PhD student at one of the best universities in the fucking world and this is how he engages with women who think female people should have boundaries and when he can't beat them into submission he blocks them.

Scene 1:

Man tells women that she can't really believe in the full humanity of people if she thinks women can be 'diminished' by being understood as female.

Woman tells men his statement betray a misogynist attitude to femaleness.

Scene 2:

Man completely dismisses women's explanation, and then when she explains again he defaults straight to calling her hateful.

Scene 3:

Woman gets annoyed and points out to followers that thinking being female diminishes the humanity of women is, um, misogyny.

Man gets annoyed and seems to think the best way to dispel said inference is by describing woman with language associated with witches.

Scene 4:

Woman points out that calling women 'noxious and bubbling' might not be helping his case.

Man then informs woman that because she is so evil she has been expelled from the community of the good.

(Digression - I thought you assholes were supposed to be experts in critiquing Western binary hierarchies and the way which they function to um, 'diminish' others.

I thought you were supposed to know something about the Western privileging of vision and light?

I'm sure you know all about how metaphors of darkness undermine the humanity of non-white peoples.

But meet an uppity women on the internet and you're right into casting her as the force of chthonic darkness and yourself as the emissary of light.

You fucking hypocrite.)

Scene 5:

Woman points out man is using appeals to hegemonic normative values and associated social opprobrium in order to try and discipline her to conform to his ideology.

And that this might not be a) how the forces of truth and light behave and b) somewhat contrary to the entire foundation of the alleged intellectual basis of his position.

And then he blocks her.

Meanwhile, a few other women ask him for evidence of the way woman 'treats trans women' and of course, none is forthcoming.

THIS IS THE QUALITY OF THINKING AND ABILITY TO DEFEND THEIR POSITION OF PEOPLE BEING TRAINED AS THINKERS IN THE BEST INSTITUTIONS IN THIS COUNTRY ARGHHH.

Seriously humanities, if I've said it once I've said it a thousand times.

We are in an extremely precarious point of human history. We are dealing with extreme sovereigntist far-right nationalism all over the place. And you've decided this is a good moment to put left-wing

thought in a blender and start religiously churning out this pious anti-materialist patriarchal bullshit that is a precise mirror image of what you think you oppose.

You are a fucking disgrace and I am never going to forgive you for this shitshow.

<The End>
