Re: Making us watch her videos to comment on them is basically setting up
[quote name="an impossible test."][quote name="Therefore they are anti-women. QED"]This stuff often proceeds as a motte and bailey argument. The motte is the account of the rape culture stuff: ok, there are prostitutes, they can be misused, women are presented in a sexualized manner. The bailey comes in spaces like Broken Forum, where it is uncritically asserted as fact that rapes happen because of rape culture, and if you disagree then you're complicit. What's critical is the open insinuation embedded in critiques like Sarkeesian's. [/quote] Wait, so every second thread on Caltrops has to bring up Anita Sarkeesian because of something someone else is saying for her on Broken Forum? Why can't you just make it easy for those of us who don't understand the complicated medieval warfare analogy that is twitter feminism and just complain about the people who are saying the things you don't like? Or would that be playing right into Anita's veiny, well-manicured hands?[/quote]
