Fem IRTournament: Any | Round: 1 | Opponent: Any | Judge: Any The dominance of men in the political sphere scorns the presence of personal “feelings” and “relationships” in politics, which are typically viewed as feminine. These male preferences further isolate women from politics. Knight 16, This universal violence against women is exemplified in the patriarchy where men assert their need for control and dominance through ontological abuse and rape of women, despite their differences and unique struggles in race, class, ethnicity, religion, ability, and sexual orientation. In the pursuit of economic or diplomatic interests, men wage war over physical territory, ignoring the war on the female body. Ray 97, The alt is to reject traditional epistemology and adopt a feminist epistemology of theoretical knowledge – this is key to reveal sexist practices and create political equality of all persons. Anderson 2 We must think differently about the concepts of gender, violence, security and the international by investigating how these concepts are (re)presented and (re)produced in a particular discursive context. The alternative changes the ways in which identity is articulated. Shepherd 7 Discursive representations are what give meaning to politics. Without our constructions of power and the determination of the value of political relationships, actions have little meaning. The actions in the physical world exist but deprived of the discursive representations behind them, they have no implications. Doty 96 | 11/19/16 |
Jan Feb - Cap KTournament: Jan Feb | Round: 1 | Opponent: Any | Judge: Any Fixation on particular identities prevents coalition building needed to fight capitalism. Class focus must come first – it is the root cause of all oppression. Turns case. Rejecting capitalism is the first step—a refusal to believe in the system can topple empires. Personal rejection is critical to moving away from capitalism—the system is only inevitable if we treat it as such. | 2/12/17 |
Jan Feb - Revenge Porn PIKTournament: Jan Feb | Round: 1 | Opponent: Any | Judge: Any Rape culture normalizes violence against women, meaning we consider sexual terrorism, socialized violence, femicide and messages of masculine dominance as the norm. Thus the role of the judge is to be an educator who is invested in deconstructing sexism in debate. The role of the ballot is to vote for the team that best deconstructs cis-het patriarchy. We embrace a feminist ethic that challenges the masculine conceptions and violence of the status quo. Challenges to revenge porn laws indicate that un-hindering free speech would be detrimental for reducing the incidence of revenge porn. First Amendment protections extend to revenge porn. Revenge porn disproportionately affects women. Revenge porn is method by which women are subjected to violence by a society that objectifies them, normalizes sexual violence against them, then blames them for it. Public Colleges and Universities ought not restrict any constitutionally protected speech except in the instance of revenge porn. It’s time to stop prioritizing the textuality of the 1st Amendment and start prioritizing the livelihood of disenfranchised women. Furthermore, laws are being created to deal with this. We say take it to the next step. The resolution is a great place to start. | 2/12/17 |

Nov Dec - Legalism KTournament: Nov Dec | Round: 1 | Opponent: Any | Judge: Any Police violence is part of a larger problem that is perpetuated and obscured by the legal system. The law is arbitrary and the root cause of police violence - the rule of law is a ruse of solvency for the aff. The Constitution’s models of equality are flawed: its equal protection text is standardized into limits that only serve to homogenize oppressed groups – turns case. Police officers have almost limitless power and people fear for their lives. This power allows for unchecked violence against the black body. Cops are currently “liable” for criminal charges, but this doesn’t do anything to stop them. Laws are influenced by normative beliefs in society. Adherence to legal structures perpetuates societal norms of persecution and discrimination. The alternative is to reject the whitewashing that assumes a violence-free life and state protectionism; instead, kill cops before they kill you. Fiat is illusory – The resolution will never happen, and a plan will never get passed. This means only our representations matter in this round. The alternative is a discursive challenge to our relationship with the law and law enforcement. Without our constructions of power and the determination of the value of political relationships, actions have little meaning. The actions in the physical world exist but deprived of the discursive representations behind them, they have no implications. An analysis of policymaking that proceeds from the state cannot provide the resources to articulate a capacity for human agency – this means the legal system can never solve. Empirically, policymaking can't solve violence. | 12/3/16 |
Nov Dec - Reparations KTournament: Nov Dec | Round: 1 | Opponent: Any | Judge: Any Cops disproportionately kill, target, and abuse African Americans. Criminal liability isn’t holding them responsible. Reparations can’t bring back lost lives. Movements towards reparations are liberal schemes which re-inscribe the power of law – they don’t solve anything and disavow systems of Anti-Black domination. Reparations re-entrench racism through white-saviorism. Police officers have almost limitless power and people fear for their lives. This power allows for unchecked violence against the black body. Cops are currently “liable” for criminal charges, but this doesn’t do anything to stop them. The alternative is to reject the whitewashing that assumes a violence-free life and state protectionism; instead, kill cops before they kill you. There two options: either submit to authority and be killed by police or kill the cop in self-defense. Fiat is illusory – The resolution will never happen, and a plan will never get passed. This means only our representations matter in this round. The alternative is a discursive challenge to our relationship with the law and law enforcement. Without our constructions of power and the determination of the value of political relationships, actions have little meaning. The actions in the physical world exist but deprived of the discursive representations behind them, they have no implications. An analysis of policymaking that proceeds from the state cannot provide the resources to articulate a capacity for human agency – this means the legal system can never solve. Empirically, policymaking can't solve violence. | 12/3/16 |
