John Brindle giohn_brindle 10h So look. It's a bit dodge for me to tweet about maybe, I haven't done so because really, what can I add? But John Brindle Giohn brindle toh The thing which most terrifies me about campaigns against ZQ or Sarkeesian is their constant rhetoric of having 'evidence' and roo John Brindle gjohn brindle And to do so is to enter a really scary world where the logic of investigation is being twisted, extended, spread as thin as it is lou ohn Brindle Giohn brindle-9h The very rhetoric, the sentence patterns, insist. "X said Y. But a post by Z at time A said B. How can X have Y if A B? It doesn't add up John Brindle @iohn_brindle 9h But despite their assumption that you can see what they see, there's nothing there It's the most vague, ambiguous, otherwise- explainable... John Brindle @iohn_brindle 9h ...occam's-f-------razorable, badly backed-up, questionably-assumed and oh yeah, SOAKED with misogynist symbology - s--- I've ever seen. John Brindle 8iohn brindle h Evidence, here, is like the white-and-red hankerchief in Othello - an overdetermined scrap of nothing used by whoever can manipulate it. John Brindie@tohn_brindle gh You will recall, of course, what happens to the women in that play. John Brindle giohn brindle gh For a person to be subject to that kind of hyperactive investigative activity is to reveal how 'rational' scrutiny can in itself be ent ohn Brindle Giohn_brindle 9h What's the risk of gaslighting when your action is taken out of context, cut, trimmed spread, recycled, red arrows pasted all over ohn Brindle Giohn brindle-9h When your image, frozen in fear, is knit through a process of production and reproduction very similar to that which makes & sustains memes ohn Brindle Giohn brindle 9h I don't know if this is 'an abuse of or 'an extension of the process of rational inquiry per se, but at the very least it has to warn us ohn Brindle Giohn_brindle 9h There is an cottage quasi-industry devoted to perpetuating in a very intense form the old use of male 'reason' as a weapon against women. ohn Brindle Giohn brindle-9h Do not trust it. Do not trust it. DO NOT TRUST IT John Brindle @iohn brindle 9h And may I also say -Iread the blog post which touched this off. I probably should not have, but I did. It has many of the same tropes John Brindle @iohn brindle 9h All that talk of investigative procedure and puzzle pieces - which, in a blackly comic irony, sounds like it comes straight out of ohn Brindle Giohn brindle-9h I ain't gonna gainsay how an individual feels about their own relationship, but please, please god, this is not a court. You are not a judge John Brindle @iohn_brindle 9h It's not a matter of public interest for you to activate your DETECTIVE MODE and search, archive, sort, interpret, present John Brindle Giohn brindle gh to a public that, even in the most innocent interpretation of your actions, YOU KNOW will gaily feed it into the misogynist hate machine John Brindle giohn_brindle-9h That above all else is an abuse of reason the violent pulling of a woman's life into the prosecutorial realm of Evidence, Proof, The Law ohn Brindle Giohn_brindle 9h That is just one more way to use the head and the hands you could use to try and build a better world to pull the old trick, the old move わt3*7 … John Brindle giohn_brindle 9h and assert PUBLIC OWNERSHIP over the private life of a woman you claim to have loved. You human f------ turd. the end ohn Brindle Giohn_brindle-9h And I am sorry to ZQ and anyone else for perpetuating this process of reproduction and rewriting and ownership I hereby divest myself
