The Message is the Thing

The non-feminist message is everything, and the messenger is nothing. Personal attributes of the messenger are not be considered in the processing of the message. To conflate the messenger with the message, is to conflate the personal with the political -- a form of feminist aggression. It is, furthermore, off-topic.

Neither the concrete personality of the messenger, nor the messenger's supposed membership in some putative "group", may be considered in the processing of the non-feminist message. Given that both of these items may be classed as personal attributes, it is not permitted to factor them into the plain intention of any words the message might contain.

Hence, to make the messenger's concrete personality a point of discussion is an invalid procedure, a violation of protocol, and a form of feminist aggression.

Likewise, to address the messenger as "you people" or "you guys", or any but the correct individual appellative, is an invalid procedure, a violation of protocol, and a form of feminist aggression.

All violation of the principles sketched above, will be added to feminism's karmic demerit points. All feminists will be held collectively accountable.
