Status Updates From You Just Don't Understand

I think this book would piss me off less if Deborah just said "conversational style" or "communication style" and named those instead of saying dumb bullshit like "genderlect" and making overbroad encompassing statements based on fiction poetry and anecdotes involving a small handful of people

Mom come get me she's citing poetry and refusing to acknowledge the existence of systemic misogyny again

idr why this is on my tbr

Deborah loves to point at anecdotal evidence that is barely sufficient to be anecdotal and then extrapolate wild conclusions from that

Which isn't scientifically valid

"If I wrote, “After delivering the acceptance speech, the candidate fainted,” you would know I was talking about a woman. Men do not faint; they pass out."

Deborah what the FUCK are you talking about

AND SHES CITING FICTION AGAIN AAAAAAAA

And she's citing fiction. Again.

The problem is that Deborah seems to think oppression is about feelings when it's actually about material conditions

You can't say "as a linguist and researcher" to explain your deliberate decision to ignore extremely well documented and validated repeatable studies just because they make your thesis fall apart Deborah

She's now saying that we should ignore the power dynamics at play because she finds them inconvenient to her stupid bullshit thesis
