    Not sure how anyone who isn't either being willfully obtuse or genuinely thick-as-pigshit would boil what she said down to that.

    The problem with debating (as opposed to listening and exchanging ideas) is that it's a competitive practice that usually takes place between polar opposites, reducing the exchange of ideas to a game where there is a perceived winner and a loser, both sides constantly trying to land a punch using various tried and tested tactics.

    Testing ones ideas in a debate is a very old way of verifing their validity. Notwithstanding the competitive aspect a reluctance to expose them to scrutiny is at best faithless.

    What is she saying so? And really, the "thick as pig****" comment - is that necessary?

    She comes across horribly. Being a liberal doesn't prevent a person from being a truly nasty bully. And that has become very apparent lately.

    Thanks, Boards Police.

    What I did there was employ a shitty debating tactic without the self-awareness to even notice what I was doing. For the record, I think the poster's reductive comment was the result of willful obtuseness, but by reducing it to a binary choice between that and actual thickness, I was hammering home the point that what he was saying was definitely not very clever at all.

    She (the professor who has the word 'prof' in her Twitter username, lest anyone not know that she's a professor) comes across as an insufferable academic who can't or won't just speak clearly and concisely. If you look through her subsequent tweets, she refers to decolonising her creative and academic practice, which I'm sure we've all had to do from time to time (I can recommend a good place if anyone wants to undergo this particular procedure).

    But she's right about the fruitlessness of debating. To win a debate, you have to be good at debating. I'd consider myself reasonably adept at stringing a thingy together in terms of, like, sentences and stuff, and I'm quite good at doing that insufferable online thing of picking a post apart and responding to it bit by bit for twenty pages until one of us gets bored and the other wins by default. But 'winning' doesn't mean I'm right. It also doesn't mean that I (or the loser) learned anything from the whole charade either.

    Whether you learned anything depends on you, and the content of the debate. I have taught argumentation as part of academic writing courses, and the debates online are a far cry from what happens, except on the most basic level. Online debates are far more similar to verbal arguments, with some references to external sources for support, but often, they're lacking in any real foundation. The problem, of course, is the rise of misinformation on the internet, and that further clouds the debates and their effectiveness.

    There is no winning on an online discussion... because people come online to validate their original opinions/beliefs. Oh, sometimes someone will leave with those beliefs shattered, or rocked a little, but it's generally quite rare. I've had conversations with friends (many of whom are long time posters on boards or reddit), and they would agree that they rarely have their beliefs altered from threads... although... it does happen.

    Some people put in the effort to write well, organise their arguments along logical streams, and provide useful evidence to support themselves. These kind of posters are a joy to read, and have the most chance of changing opinions.

    For myself, I'd feel the debates are less about who is arguing, and more about the dozens of people who will read the posts.. even while they're looking for things to take apart, they're often forced to consider the argument/evidence in other to find a weakness to exploit.. and if there's no weakness? A chance to have their strong beliefs altered.

    I've had my opinions shaped, and countered effectively before by various posters, on all manner of topics. Don't underestimate the readers ability to change. Small steps, but it's still possible to change over time.

    What advantage?

    IMHO it's all gobbledygook. People looking for attention, and seeking to piss on other peoples lives. Extremely few people are genuinely transgender, and people are making a mountain out of a mountain out of a molehill by pandering to this rubbish. Transgender people can call themselves whatever they wish.. like any cult does... like I'm sure the Mormons have their own terminology to describe themselves, but there's no expectation on the whole world to follow suit, and yet, there's likely more Mormons in the world, than Transgendered people. I know a few transgendered people and they don't seek recognition or support any of this nonsense.

    Americans... they have a lot of answer for by promoting all manner of rubbish.

    Your comments are not being respectful, especially to unassigned transgenders. In doing so you may also be potentially subjugating or compromising other non cis preferences. Thread carefully please.

    I massively get how assigned, cis patriarchal types are easily offended at being pigeon holed by the millennial woke. I get the frustration.

    The key to contentment and happiness is acceptance. It allows both the assigned and the unassigned to live and prosper together, as nature has commanded us all to.

    And she could just say that, but any opportunity - no matter how tenuous - to bring white supremacy into it, and "cis" as a negative.

    I agree, it makes sense.

    Debate is challenging the woke who are currently "un woke". This indicates an unfair advantage and could isolate opinion. This is discriminatory, as debating is essentially bullying and leads to opinions being oppressed. ( as opposed to the cancelling of common sense, which wokism is suppressing), only morons talk like that.

    Is it not giving an unfair advantage to males who identify as " cis " males ... as opposed to transgender males who identify as "non-cis" or transgender?

    Just reading that made my IQ decline by about 10 points.

    Really hope this is satire.

    We need to open a “dialogue”, I.

    Leave all the “point scoring” at the door and listen to each other with, both, dignity and respect.

    And, who knows, maybe we’ll even have one on here someday. Can’t see it anytime soon though. But we live in hope.

    I don't agree. We are in the era of activism. People are latching on to crusades all over the place, pushing minority rights like there's no tomorrow.

    We should be doing the proper research into the physical, emotional, and psychological health consequences of the various trans or woke crusades on both society and individuals. Real honest research along with long term analysis to determine what kind of society, and social values these movements are going to create. We need to stop looking so much at now, and begin forecasting the changes that these changes are likely to cause... because I can easily see dozens of negative changes coming out of the Trans issues.. and that's without really trying.

    There has been too much change encouraged without consideration of what comes next. The Trans movement is dangerous because it's an attack on identity, and it's also dangerous because of the precedence for an extreme minority forcing the vast majority to comply.. based on what exactly? Wishful thinking? There's no science to back their claims up, but we're being told that society needs to accommodate them.. It's nuts. Worse, it's dangerous because of the lack of consideration for the future, especially for children/teens.

    Nope. We need to rein in this woke/activist movement for 'radical' change.

    I had to double check cis on the old Google. It's not construction information services I take it, although that's the first result :D

    My Nan would have said, "ah you're suffering from a good dose of yourself" or "I'll give you something to worry about". I wonder did they have cis and trans in those days, you know, when they had to worry about war, and birthing five children without epidural at home and putting food on the table.

    Permanently outraged is an interesting phenomenon.

    Stalking the social media of those they disagree with or are annoyed by politically or socially, just to feel outraged by virtue signaling is an even worse phenomenon.

    Unless it is accompanied by a bit of humor because that indicates some insight in to themselves.

    Yup crazy that there are some whose main contribution to discussion involves turning up solely to throw ****e directly at those who they disagree with. Stalking with hit and run if you like. Funny? No. Fairly common all the same.

    Well, yes why would a die-hard follower of say a certain political party, follow on social media an individual politician from a political party they are diametrically opposed to and from that get outraged.

    Felling outraged must sever some function for them.

    Its the same with the virtual signaling why the need to get outraged by them?

    I think the previous point you made about stalking might explain at least some of the psychology behind it tbh.

    I reckon the main thing about virtue signaling is it's not a single mindset but rather used as a means to try to beat other people over the head with the stick of moral superiority or similar

    Various countries including Mumbai as per the article linked have gone to the trouble of changing the stick figures on their traffic lights to that of a female.

    The problem with that is, would that not indicate that only woman can cross and visa versa.

    Well smack me with a kipper if our own favourite Shelbourne statue hater isn't in the thick of it
    Dr Ebun Joseph, a Nigerian-Irish lecturer and founder of the first Black Studies module in Ireland, said that the lack of data is a big problem, and can avoid dealing with any diversity issue within an institution.

    Considering she's making a very good living pointing out we are all racist or wtte that's almost funny. Queue even more reseach money on the way and the selfless advocacy looking for promotion ...
    The categories of data that will be requested were chosen in collaboration with higher education institutions through the Athena SWAN Ireland Intersectionality Working Group

    Interesting that UK based interest groups are been giving leverage to promote themselves and one particular theory - that it is the ultimate combination the physical characteristics of gender, race, or sexual orientation which allegedly identifies you as the oppressed or an oppressor. All of which conveniently ignores the fact it is illegal to promote any such bias which involves lumping people together based on any such characteristics.

    Not altogether true in fairness. If you ask some native American Indians and in fact some from the Indian continent itself, you may find some challenges to that particular form of Irish historical conceit. If you look into things you will find that the Irish are not without dirty hands when it comes to facilitating and enabling both colonialism and imperialism. Another part of our past that often gets phucked under the stairs when the neighbours pop around. It has never suited our diplomatic diatribe that we were knee deep in slavery and both native American and native Australian genocides, but we were.

What job will you get by taking a module on black studies its almost as futile as the womens studies module - all PC bull****.
    In the depth of rural ireland the population are sick to death of the LBQT domination of our media and ever where you look. Why cant everyone just be discreet about their bedroom antics and keep it to themselves out of all our faces and places of work.

    It's snowballing with the feminism aspect (somewhat), but the racial aspect is still going strong. As each aspect falls from grace, another one will rise to replace it.

    It's not going to disappear any time soon.

    The Isle of Man is to be changed to "The Isle of Person" as it's sexist and discriminates against gender fluid non binary and/or LGBT+ people.

    It is the epitome of a patriarchal capitalistic society that maintains it's ascendancy by attempting to subjugate gender fluid non binary LGBT+ persons to an inveterate and intentionally androcratic system of order and it must be stopped.

    Androcacy is the key to taming the cis.

    Hetero cis anti-patriarchs are committed to dismantling androcentric ideals.

    Subordination is no longer tolerated and Heteronormativity is attempting to dissuade progression. Violation is undeniable.

    I’d call for this to be cancelled, tapes destroyed, but I have a feeling NBC have already done this years ago.

    History will determine WOKEID-19 to be far more deadly than covid.

    Millions of people brainwashed by a cult, directly through their smartphones.

    Note:
    The Ford Foundation is one of America's biggest grant givers, doling out hundreds of millions to like minded ideological self-flagellators.
    His three follow up tweets are even more cringey.

    I think your response says it all.

    The language we see around this is so steeped in academia that it's an outright joke. Confused is the right response. The militant left has taken over the social sciences in universities. This is where it's coming from. They visualise an inclusive society where you use inclusive language, however it's important to know if you are seen to be using non inclusive language you will be excluded. You will be ostracised. You will be hammered. These are radical left wing ideologues and very very dangerous people indeed.
