the overuse of validity wording and caveats by intelligent, well-spoken women has got to stop. to make that happen, we need to build up these women's confidence and challenge the culture of bad faith interpretations and kneejerk reactions.
one of my favorite youtubers for example, she'll get on a topic where she's concisely and bluntly giving her analyses on complex subjects. she's obviously done her reading and thought it through, and then she trips at the end to tack on a string of caveats "...if that makes any sense! but that might just be me, if you disagree and that works for you, that's fine too!" it destroys her flow and lessens the impact of her analysis, and every single time you can see her struggle to regain her footing afterwards.
it makes me want to grab her by the shoulders and beg her to grow a spine. if there are men with podcasts claiming as fact that disproven wolf hierarchy theory applies to human society, then you can speak with confidence on your topic that you actually have a degree on. but i understand why she does this because i've seen people jump all over her analyses and even her character with the stupidest, most poorly constructed, bad faith attacks possible.
informed intelligent women should not need mandatory pre-emptive disclaimers to cater to the uninformed, unintelligent, and angry.
