• Beyond rounds, it creates dynamics for social interactions within the community

  Schwartz-Dupre ‘6 (Rae Lynn. “Women in Debate: From Virtual to Material,” Contemporary Argumentation and Debate, 27, 2006.)

                                  

  As debaters, women are often projected to be the most…into argument construction and coaching

   

  The numbers speak for themselves. There are many fewer women in college debate than there are in high school.

  Schwartz-Dupre ‘6 (Rae Lynn. “Women in Debate: From Virtual to Material,” Contemporary Argumentation and Debate, 27, 2006.)

   

  When outsiders ask about debate…arguments are not mutually exclusive.

   

  Beyond the disparity in high school and college policy debate, it becomes even greater when noting structural barriers that keep vastly even more women out of the national circuit or outrounds.

  Bruschke and Matz ‘6 (Jon & S. Irene. “Gender Inequality in Debate, Legal, and Business Professions,” Contemporary Argumentation and Debate, 27, 2006. http://commfaculty.fullerton.edu/imatz/Research_Articles/Gender_Inequality/Gender_inequality_in_debate.htm)

   

  Both previous and current studies…own participation in preliminary rounds.

   

  Personal reflection on radical organizations and social movements reveals tolerance and advocacy of gender violence. It is dismissed as “personal” or not as important as other impacts. This leads to destruction of political community

  Anarcha ’10 (Why Misogynists Make Great Informants: How Gender Violence on the Left Enables State Violence in Radical Movements,” Anarcha, October 20, 2010. http://anarchalibrary.blogspot.com/2010/10/why-misogynists-make-great-informants.html)

   

  Reflecting on the radical organizations…different kinds of political community.

   

  Gender violence destroys movements. Speaking out to the community solves.

  Anarcha ’10 (Why Misogynists Make Great Informants: How Gender Violence on the Left Enables State Violence in Radical Movements,” Anarcha, October 20, 2010. http://anarchalibrary.blogspot.com/2010/10/why-misogynists-make-great-informants.html)

   

  Radical movements cannot afford the…cannot be destroyed from within.

   

  This 1AC is a revolutionary process

  D’arcy ‘9 (Steve: Member of the London Project for a Participatory Society, “The Politics of Self-Emancipation,” Mostly Water, January 26, 2009. http://mostlywater.org/politics_selfemancipation)

   

  When radicals like Marx and…people work toward liberating themselves.

   

  Silencing trauma within a community allows it to affect/disrupt it unmoored, destroying communicative ability in the process

  Scwab ‘6 (Gabriele: Chancellor’s Professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of California at Irvine. “Writing against Memory and Forgetting,” Literature and Medicine, 25.1, 2006)

   

  Returning to Abraham and Torok’s…its communicative and expressive function.

   

  Personal testimony of trauma is dismissed as irrational and non-falsifiable. Sexual violence is the everyday which creates a different epistemological frame to have to deal with these issues. Knowledge from victims is therefore a priori.

  Freedman ‘6 (Karyn L.: Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Guelph. “The Epistemological Significance of Psychic Trauma,” Hypatia 21.2.2006)

   

  What happens to our beliefs…the prevalence of sexual violence.

   

  The emphasis of your framework is an obstacle to accepting the reality of sexual violence. Survivors of sexual violence should be able to reframe their epistemologies

  Freedman ‘6 (Karyn L.: Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Guelph. “The Epistemological Significance of Psychic Trauma,” Hypatia 21.2.2006)

   

  The facts about sexual violence…aim to show no less.
