That makes no sense but OK.

For example, when she criticizes evolutionary psychology, it's pretty obvious that she's dealing in motivated reasoning. I personally object to some of the claims of evolutionary psychology as well, sometimes even vehemently, but THASS SEXISSISS isn't a valid criticism.

As a reminder, please keep Rule 2 in mind. This is to say, be respectful.

To implicitly accuse another user of having a speech impendiment instead of engaging in the substance of the argument is frowned upon.

Did she criticse evolutionary psychology when she upset you by questioning Dawkins?

Not to my memory. She did spout off some dumb horseshit about how he's wrong because he's a pwiblidged old White Male™ though.

Okay.

People seem to get very emotional aboit Dawkins and his conflict with Ms. Watson.

While I understand and appreciate his contributions to atheism, this does not make him an expert on sexism. Thus, it does not surprise me that he needed to be educated on sexism.

No one really needs to learn about critical theory.

Please see my previous post.


If you like critical theory, then you should probably end the Rational™ Logical™ Empirical™ Evidence™ jerking because a lot of critical theory is devoted to showing how logic, mathematics and the scientific method are really just tools of oppression.

Yes, that is your opinion, and you are welcome to it. But this has nothing to do with atheism.

Also, it is amusing to see you derail discussions about rational thought to complain about how people interrupt discussion about rational thought.

How could mathematics, something we use/need in everyday life, be construed as oppression?
How exactly does it oppress?

It's not just my opinion and it's not a derail. You took up my challenge so stop complaining.

Well anything that was invented by a bunch of white men has to be a tool of oppression.

Yes, it is just your opinion, and you did make the last few pages a discussion about how you do not like feminism, which seems like a pet ideological issue for you.
