This is utterly reasonable, which means that it will probably not get through to the people who need it the most — that is, those people who say that “reason” is a tool of the white male patriarchy, and, as such, is just another tool of oppression. How does one use reason to argue with people who say that their “lived experience” is all that matters, and that reason itself is invalid?
