VLORD 268 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 I have a big tournament coming up and I wanted to know what you think the best advantages are for DADT. Right now I have readiness and Civil Liberties. Would Civil Liberties work as an advantage with this case? Thanks for your input. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shayan Makani 588 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 I have a big tournament coming up and I wanted to know what you think the best advantages are for DADT. Right now I have readiness and Civil Liberties. Would Civil Liberties work as an advantage with this case? Yes. Specifically, many teams that run this case rule on First Amendment free speech grounds and claim totalitarianism impacts with free speech internal links. There are countless advantages to this case, including hegemony, homophobia, free speech, deference, etc. The cards for all of those advantages are actually pretty good.

nolongerused 52 Report post Posted January 30, 2007 There are no advantages to running DADT. Read the draft, it's a better case. Also, I'd be careful running any rights claim. There are a lot of critiques that get awesome links like that. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nolongerused 52 Report post Posted January 31, 2007 Lesbian baiting is awful, there's tons of evidence on how it actually doesn't happen or has no real impact. I haven't seen any convincing evidence from the last few years showing that lesbian baiting actually occurs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyD 51 Report post Posted February 3, 2007 Hegemony is the only legitimate advantage. Agreed. Our big advantage is said Heg for the plan, however we struggled over whether or not to add a Feminism Adv for a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nolongerused 52 Report post Posted March 25, 2007 1. The allegation of male servicemen using lesbian baiting is false. Mazur, 1999 (Diane H., Professor at University of Florida Law School, “A Call to Arms,” 22 Harv. Women’s L.J. 39, pp. 52-53) An illustrative example of feminist reliance on conclusory speculation – on what “coulda happened” – is the often-repeated assertion that military men use the legal exclusion of gay servicemembers as a weapon against military women who resist or report sexual harassment. The premise of “lesbian-baiting” is the idea that men can, and frequently do, avoid sanction for sexual harassment by threatening to accuse their victims, who are usually straight, of being gay and therefore end their military careers. The assumption is widespread; n69 while theoretically possible, however, it is a myth in practical terms. The “lesbian-baiting” allegation was first publicized during the 1993 congressional hearings on the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” debate; it certainly sounded possible, especially to feminists outside the military who were eager to free-ride on the outrage still lingering from Talihook. n70 It was politically advantageous because it made straight military women the harmed constituency at a time of acute sensitivity about sexual harassment. The charge that military men have retaliated against presumably [*53] straight women by seeking their discharge, however, has never been supported by researchers who have actually listened to military women on a non-self-selected basis. This is from 1999; I haven't seen a piece of lesbian baiting evidence with any warrants from later than 1999, so if you must, you can win on post-dating.
