[...] Kyriarchy thrives on — or perhaps more accurately is the process-and-product of engaging in — all-or-nothing, black-and-white, us-versus-them thinking. It is the antithesis of nuance, a toxic, genetically targeted herbicide. Kyriarchy is perpetuated every time we decline to acknowledge transgender issues in a post about women, every time we decline to acknowledge disability in a post about “healthy people”, every time we respond to a caricature of our opponents instead of the persons they are, every time we deliberately misrepresent an argument we disagree with, every time we act as though there are only-and-exactly “two sides” to an issue, every time we deny that someone might have sincere and thoughtful reasons for the opinions they hold, every time we go for the quick and clever retort instead of the thoughtful and respectful reply, every time we nuke someone as “entirely worthless” for a mistake or misguided choice and every time we defend someone as “entirely blameless” when we deem them friend or ally.

[...] Kyriarchy, for the newbies. Which really is a bit of a tautology, in that kyriarchy is the sum of all that which encourages the effed up hierarchies we live under, including objective-over-subjective and intellectual-over-emotional (which some might see as aspects of male-over-female, but I’d argue that’s too gender essentialist). But we’ll leave that as a discussion for another day, one in which I’m feeling far more pedantic. Yes, I do get more pedantic. Yes, you should be afraid. ↩ [...]
