Keeping My End Up / Re: Sexism Redux

[Max Sawicky]

Chip:
. . .
So when women on this list argue that there should be a modest baseline of
knowledge about feminist ideas before a man posts some argument that was
axed into kindling 20 years ago--that seems quite reasonable to me. . . .

Really?  That's quite a burden, isn't it?  To
partake of a conversation, one must know the
intellectual history of feminism, including
ideas and their refutations of 20 years ago?
This is a far cry from knowing enough to refrain
from ordering someone to fetch you a beer.
