https://t.co/AF0Lu9nU2V is a good example of how the left control the terms of debate. It should be IS FEMINISM EVIL rather than OUTDATED.— Claire Khaw (@ntfem) February 20, 2017
The worst that could happen to the feminist side is that feminism is found to be merely "outdated" - like "Oh, this is so last year!" and not actually evil.

We already know who is going to win the debate, don't we? The female students of Bath University will vote with their feet for more feminism. We already know there are more female students than male students at Bath Spa. 40 male/60 female, in fact.
Even had I been allowed to argue against feminism (for a full 6 minutes, wow!), I know I would have lost the debate anyway. Virtually no one these days is influenced by truth, logic or morality.

The more female students there are at a university, the less academic freedom you get, and the higher the number of false rape accusations are made against male students, it would appear.
The more promiscuous the women, the greater the number of rape accusations. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19592372

So now we know to what we can attribute this progressive (pun intended) loss of academic freedom, free speech and other liberties traditionally associated with the West - feminazis taking over everywhere with male students and academics too unprincipled, outnumbered and emasculated to challenge this.

Hi Claire,
Forming the opposition will be speakers from the Gender Equality Group from the University of Bath and members from the Women's Equality Party, the UK first feminist political party. The exact names are not yet confirmed but I will let you know as soon as possible.
Have a nice weekend,
Amandine

Dear Claire Khaw,
I am deeply sorry to announce that the Student’s Union of the University of Bath did not approve you as a speaker for the debate.
Therefore you won’t be able to come and participate to the debate, I am truly sorry about this.
Best wishes,
Amandine Désire

Dear Amandine
I have now discovered why I was no-platformed. It would have been simpler if you had just said that the Student Union did not approve of me as a speaker because I appeared to be a Nazi.
Then I would have been given an opportunity to explain why I do not regard myself as anti-Semitic or a Nazi and told you the reasons why it is in fact impossible for me to be a Nazi.
I would have asked you if I was a nun if I was photographed in a nun's habit outside a nunnery, or a nurse if photographed in a nurse's uniform outside a hospital, or a policeman if photographed in a policeman's helmet on my head outside a police station.
If asked why I appeared to be trying to be a Nazi, I would have responded that I was only doing it to attract attention so people might feel more disposed to pay more attention to my political views after having their interest piqued by that photograph.
I doubt if anyone would pay any attention to me for long enough to become aware of my political views if I was always dressed respectably, behaving impeccably and speaking politely about everyone and everything.
We could have gone on to discuss whether one becomes a Nazi in Britain just because one is accused of being one by the Left, with no right of appeal and whether an accusation should ever be as good as a conviction.
While it is true that I am associated with British Nationalism, that does not ipso facto mean that I am a Nazi.
It is possible that you have already taken on board all these points but have decided that the appearance of being a Nazi is in itself sufficient and necessary for my invitation to be withdrawn, even as you accept that it is in fact impossible for me to be a Nazi even if I were anti-Semitic, which I am not.
It does of course mean that I will have views unlikely to be favoured by the Left who currently exercise unrivalled hegemony in all the institutions of the West.
It is just possible that the Left do not feel themselves to be intellectually equipped to deal with the challenge to their ideas and believe it is better to control the debate in the only way it knows how: through suppression, ostracisation, avoidance and sometimes violence.
It is a great shame that the Left of the University of Bath feels itself to be collectively unable to defend its position and reverts to the only tactic open to them: avoidance.
If this is indeed the case, why are their views of the Left allowed to hold sway over the rest of the country and indeed the rest of the West?

Camille Paglia? Erin Pizzey?
They are unlikely to fly her over from America because they don't want to lose the debate at their own expense.
Makes sense. Rig the debate before having it so that one can win.
