Any progressives out there looking to challenge progressive dogma?
Wow. How is this for an introductory line for a website?
Bad Subjects seeks to revitalize progressive politics. We challenge progressive dogma by encouraging readers to think about the political dimension to all aspects of everyday life. We seek to broaden the audience for leftist and progressive writing through a commitment to accessibility and contemporary relevance.
I picture a main office where the women are all taller than the men.

LOL! Make sure to go and read the linked post. Behold, the power of smug! ROTFLMAO!

So, Theo, are you really go to stand there and tell me that a cutting, invasive knife is as nurturing as a warm doughnut?
And I know that such a discussion is not a waste of time otherwise colleges and universities would not have built entire departments and majors around its study.

I spent the middle 70s at Rice and I got very hot and bothered about non-deterministic push-down automata, positive transitive closure, Warshall's algorithm, content integrals and other such recondite things.
And never, once, did I think about a warm doughnut.
My bad. I really ought to have gone to a better school where I could have explored my inner doughnutness and closed-form solutions and been happily NP-complete. Without the bother of learning.

OMG! I have repressed out of crypto-patriarchy the torus! And the saddle function! Will it never end?
I'll stop. No more fish in that barrel.





Notice the politicization of everything. That means that the leftists are not complete unless somehow contending with others.
I don't think that leftists exist by themselves.
What politics exists in, say, the shape of a knife? A fool could talk about hard and cutting and invasive--a fool could.
Who could complain about male bias in physics, claiming that solid dynamics was studied before fluid dynamics? A feminist fool could. And does.
To all you progressives: if you think that progressive politics needs to be revitalized, perhaps it's because people who are more than the sum of their resentments and who have lives have seen through it.
