    There is nothing to debate against, unfortunately. If I'm being repetitive, it's because the justifications for the firing are so utterly baseless. Also, if the upvote/downvote rat…

    The EPI is heavily funded by labour unions which have a major stake in the continued acceptance of central tenets of Marxist/postmodernist ideology, like the existence of race/gend…

    The article that is linked here is written by a PhD in sexual neuroscience, and defends the claims made in the memo as scientifically valid. Instead of responding to the memo, and …

    It seems people are fiddling and being their agreeable selves while Rome burns. A Google engineer was just fired, with deafening applause from a multitude of voices, for penning a …

    They could very plausibly explain the differences in the number of men who write software relative to women. The only explanation is absolutely not "systemic discrimination against…

    Of course there's more to consider than evolutionary psychology.. No one disputes that. What many postmodernists, especially feminists, dispute, is that evolutionary psychology has…

    Notice how you're not actually agreeing or disagreeing with my assertion. You're simple trying to justify the postmodernist take on truth.

    I did not say that you're a "hateful, dogmatic, sexist racist". I said that postmodernism and feminism are. Very few people subscribe to all of the beliefs of a particular ideologi…

    That is the postmodern anti-science belief, which assumes that truth is not really truth. It is just a device used in power struggles between identity groups. It's so extreme that …

    No, postmodernism and feminism are rooted in Marxist ideology. Marxist intellectuals shifted to postmodernism in the 1970s after it became impossible to deny that Marxist doctrine …
