The postmodern side of Critical Race Theory shows itself by its CATEGORY DESTRUCTION—e.g. it is able to deny something as basic as the reality of the sexes.
But it HOLDS FIXED the categories it REQUIRES FOR REVENGE, e.g. racial categories such as “White” and “Black.”
Recall the young philosopher who was benighted enough to think that she could approach an issue in a purely theoretical, philosophical way: Rebecca Tuvel, who naively wanted to argue that every argument that goes for transgenderism goes for transracialism … remember the VENOM:
“EGREGIOUS LEVELS OF LIBERAL WHITE IGNORANCE,” shrieked the harpy. “AND DISCURSIVE TRANSMISOGYNISTIC VIOLENCE!”
I have no use for women who disgrace philosophy.
Nor men neither.

“It means neither lying nor apologizing just because the crowd expects you to, least of all under the absurd implication that doing so makes you more virtuous and brave.”
To go along with the crowd is NOT brave. It is to submit to the Greatest Sophist:
“It's the refusal to be concerned with what other people think of you when you’re being yourself and the recognition that it doesn’t make sense to apologize for being true to yourself and your values, telling the truth as well as you can see it, or making a joke, even a bad one.”
“Being based means tolerating most of what’s done in good faith or to lighten the mood. It’s being real with lots of room to play. It elevates the worthy without falling into the indulgent trap of “celebrating” the ordinary, mediocre, and fake.”

@NewDiscourses “While ‘it could never happen here’ is a bit of wishful thinking applied to the question of whether the Nazi regime could ever be repeated in the U.S. the ideological conditions and general cowardice that enable these sorts of catastrophes have already come knocking at our door.”
“The white race deems itself to be the dominant race in this country. And so it is, in prestige, in achievements, in education, in wealth, and in power.”
“So, I doubt not, it will continue to be, if it remains true to its great heritage and holds fast to the principles of constitutional liberty. But in the view of the Constitution, in the eye of the law, there is in this country no superior, dominant, ruling class of citizens.”
ACLU: “Requiring only men to register for the draft reflects the outdated and sexist notion that women are less fit to serve in the military and that men are less able to stay home as caregivers.”
Women are less fit to be soldiers and men caregivers.
“Such stereotypes demean both men and women.”
No, they don’t. “Stereotypes” based on realties demean no one.
Also, if anyone gets the better deal here, it’s women.
The push here is to make women susceptible to CONSCRIPTION.
It would open NO new choices or opportunities for women — in no world is “being able to be forced to do something against your will” a “opportunity”.
“At least for the Husserl of the Ideas, Formal and Transcendental Logic, and Cartesian Meditations, phenomenology is the science of pure essences, and of the transcendental subjectivity in which these essences are constituted.”
“Husserl’s phenomenology is rooted in Plato, Kant, and modern mathematics. His essences are mathematical in the sense of possessing no teleological order, no hierarchical structure which is the presence of divine totality in and through the phenomena.”
“Each essence is self-identical, or obedient to the laws of finite (nondialectical) logic. If I may so put it, each essence is an absolute expression of the Absolute, and not a dialectical element in the gradually to be completed self-exhibition of a totally visible Absolute.”
