The affirmative is a necessary corrective to presumed neutrality that fosters a pedagogy that ignores sexual difference and asserts the universality of the learning and teaching subjects – this instills a mutual backlash that forecloses pedagogical benefits in debate and ensures militaristic imperialist outbursts

Much like speaking – the presence of the net benefit is not epistemologically neutral.

You have an ethical priority to reject the ideological bait-and-switch of the counterplan – the presence of the net benefit that presents the counterplan as a more perfect version of the of the aff is precisely the epistemic hijacking that makes it impossible to create a space for the feminine in politics because it returns to the question of effective management and erases the myriad other ways in which the ontological relationship to power is violent absent a rethinking.

Deutscher in 2

Penelope; A Politics of Impossible Difference: The Later Work of Luce Irigaray; p. 11-12

Are women's politics satisfactory when the language and ideals of traditionally male spheres are adopted? "When women's movements aim simply for a change in the distribution of power, leaving intact the power structure itself, then they are resubjecting themselves, deliberately or not, to a phallocratic order. This latter gesture must of course be denounced, and with determination, since it may constitute a more subtly concealed exploitation of women" (Irigaray 1985c, 81). Irigaray concludes that this "explains certain difficulties encountered by the liberation movements. If women allow themselves to be caught in the trap of power, in the game of authority, if they allow themselves to be contaminated by the 'paranoid' operations of masculine politics, they have nothing more to say or do as women" (166). Such passages are widely interpreted as indicating Irigaray's view that games of power, authority, and rationality are inherently masculine and should be spurned by women. I do not consider this to be her position. It is uncontroversial that power, authority, and rationality have historically been associated with masculinity. Eschewing a pursuit of anything that has historically been associated with male authority would be untenable for women, and hardly a coherent political position. But it would also be naive to think that women's exercising of varying degrees of power, authority, and rationality is immune from their historical associations with masculinity. In this sense, women are taking up a position of symbolic "equivalence" to masculinity.

The body politics of the aff comes first – the feminine body is where violence is performed in warfare and economic struggle means the aff is ontologically prior to your ability to evaluate any disad impacts.

Saigol in 8

Rubina; “Militarization, Nation and Gender: Women’s Bodies as Arenas of Violent Conflict” Deconstructing Sexuality in the Middle East; p. 175

It is clear that wherever identity and self are threatened by an Other, an outsider defined as an enemy, women’s bodies become the arena of the most violent forms of conflict. As global conflicts intensify, and males of weak and dependent countries feel threatened by global powers, the notion of women’s bodies as signifiers of nation, home, and honor is likely to increase. This increase can potentially manifest itself as nationalist anxiety and the response is most likely going to be further incarceration of women, greater emphasis on the veil and the chardivari, an enhanced desire to confine women to domestic tasks and motherhood. This is likely to be accompanied by an intensified glorification of motherhood and a more urgent need to protect motherhood against violation and impurity, even while increasing women’s participation in the market due to economic imperatives. The double burden is, therefore, likely to increase along with the controls imposed on women’s bodies. Women’s bodies will not merely be the site of political, national and armed struggles; they will also become the major signifiers in economic struggles and market conflicts.

Part One is Experiences of Climate Change

The dominant understanding of climate change denigrates and feminizes environmental concerns in favor of a militarized framework of expert administration and securitized science dependent on universalizing an exclusionary understanding of human nature. This produces racist and isolationist policy aimed at insulating the first world from harm. Gender analysis is a key corrective.

MacGregor in 10 (Sherilyn; Senior Lecturer in Women’s Studies and Politics @ Keele University; “A stranger silence still: the need for feminist social research on climate change” Sociological Review; Scholar)

The first place where gender ...connections to climate change policy.

Masculine epistemology reduced research and advocacy to a technical paradigm of problem solving framed by profitability and competitiveness. This supply side focus relies on a public/private division that prioritizes masculine knowledge over all others. In this framework, women’s role is relegated to greening the home.

MacGregor in 10 (Sherilyn; Senior Lecturer in Women’s Studies and Politics @ Keele University; “A stranger silence still: the need for feminist social research on climate change” Sociological Review; Scholar)

The final area in which ,,,put it good green use.

This epistemological bracketing limits change to green profit-based programs that abdicate ethical responsibility for widespread elimination of ways of life. This paradigm can only contribute to ecological destruction because it ignores the ways market mechanisms are limited by the environment around them.

Purdey in 12 (Stephen James; “The Normative Root of the Climate Change Problem”; ETHICS and THE ENVIRONMENT, 17:2; MUSE)

That outcome must be avoided ...deep cause of the problem of climate change.

Disrupting the public/private dualism in climate change rhetoric broadens the scope of potential responses. The devaluation of nature, body, emotion, and connectedness characterizes these concerns as not worthy of consideration. An ethical reorientation is key to better relate to the environment.

Bile in 11 (Jeffery; ; “The Rhetorics of Critical Ecofeminism Conceptual Connection and Reasoned Response” Ecofeminism and Rhetoric p. 21-24)

Radical dualism/hierarchy is ...distinction between public and private" (Rocheleau, Thomas-Slayter, and Wangari 1996: 18).

Rational argument and diffusion of scientific knowledge is insufficient – ecofeminist pedagogy provides a key challenge to the dominant framing of climate change. The first world delays confrontation with climate change until it is too late while shifting its impacts onto people of color, women, and the poor. Ethical priority to reject this toxic imperialism.

Kretz in 12 (Lisa; “Climate Change: Bridging the Theory-Action Gap” ETHICS and THE ENVIRONMENT, 17:2; MUSE)

I focus on North America, ...functions in tandem with critical thinking.

Part Two is Epistemic Methods

The orthodox epistemic approach to energy and the environment is based in an impossible commitment to objectivity that overwrites all situated truths in favor of models of decision making with a view from nowhere that excludes myriad factors key to evaluate intersecting oppressions that define the scope of individual and collective action.

Code in 6 (Lorraine; Distinguished Research Professor Emerita of Philosophy at York University in Toronto Canada and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada; Ecological Thinking: The Politics of Epistemic Location; p.207-210)

As I have observed, ...act responsibly, intelligently, effectively.

New epistemological approaches are key – without alternative approaches there is no way for most of the population to access our discussions or to create real world change. Only ecofeminist thought balances empiricist analysis with localized forms of knowledge.

Code in 6 (Lorraine; Distinguished Research Professor Emerita of Philosophy at York University in Toronto Canada and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada; Ecological Thinking: The Politics of Epistemic Location; p.97-99)

Epistemologists, in consequence, need methods/...successor epistemologies have to address.

Thus in response to the resolution Alex and I affirm an ecofeminist pedagogy for energy production.

Your ballot is an act of solidarity with ecological others to imaginatively draw parallels between systems of slavery, women’s oppression, and animal oppression in an act of resistance against the logic of colonization that erases otherness or stages it only in terms of its use value.

Tournament: NDT | Round: 1 | Opponent: James Madison BL | Judge: Lemuel, Glass, Casey

Our interpretation for debate is that affirmatives must be restricted to instrumental, epistemic, and ontological affirmations of the resolution.

This means all discussion must be limited by the question of the mechanism and object(s) of the topic.

Offense on top:

Only three impact areas –

First is Predictable Ground –

a) Even if absolute predictability were possible it wouldn’t be desirable: debate would be an endless repetition of the same arguments without innovation or creativity – people leave the activity when it becomes stale, lifeless, and un-relatable.

b) An instrumental policy is not the only predictable or the best point of stasis for debate vis-à-vis climate change, the best analysis are at earlier stasis points in argumentative progression that intersect between disparate fields. Jumping to the last stasis point of techno-scientific decision making means climate debates are always at an impasse.

1) Is the climate changing

2) Is climate change warming?

3) Are the causes energy consumption?

4)What does it mean? What are the values and relation to nature?

5) What kinds of action need to be taken?

All are components of any argument in a climate change debate – research is predictable

Malone in 12 (Elizabeth LL; PhD Sociology @ U of Maryland, MA Comms @ Purdue, nobel peace prize winner 2007 for Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, etc http://www.pnl.gov/science/staff/staff_info.asp?staff_num=5697  ; Debating Climate Change: Pathways through Argument to Agreement; p. n/a ebook; Google Books/Routledge)

One way to cluster the arguments is to determine where they are in terms of

AND

shared across the boundaries of science, social solidarity and politics/policy.

Second their Education is Bad

a) Repeats the Public/Private division: Patriarchy brackets out subjective marginalized epistemic positions as grounded in emotion as irrelevant while valorizing “objective” knowledge claims. Switch side doesn’t solve – instrumental focus always crowds out these forms of knowledge

b) Elite focus bad – it relies on problematic notions of human nature that restrict political agency and detract from local politics.

In the absence of historical and cultural signifiers, the reconciliation of teaching and learning

AND

of course, that the teacher who won’t listen similarly destabilizes pedagogical logic.)

Next is our defense.

a) Predictable Ground: All topic research is directed at the objects of the topic as well as the topic mechanism. Since all research they believe predictable assumes a supply side framework then all research would be relevant offense or defense means virtually all disadvantages, case negatives, and K answers apply.

b) Predictability doesn’t exist and is impossible to universalize: no universal standard and voting on framework can’t implement a static model of predictable debate

c) No objective standard for textual interpretation means you default to broad interpretations of the resolution

Gehrke in 98 (Gehrke, Pat J. "Critique arguments as policy analysis: policy debate beyond the rationalist perspective." Perspectives in Controversy: Selected Essays from Contemporary Argumentation and Debate (2002): 302)

Similarly, we might say that any policy debater who does not seek a critical

AND

interpretive, Berube's objective standard for encountering a text never can be met.

d) Switch side is a myth: teams never truly switch sides – teams will read framework on the aff and neg to preserve their preferred ground.

e) No Impact to Topic Education: The function of tournaments is to advance the most valuable pedagogical and epistemic methods and proposals derived from that research.

Don’t Evaluate this Debate based on Competing Interpretations; Default to Reasonability:

a) Infinitely regressive: so long as we don’t follow their interpretation to the ‘t’ they will always find some minute distinction to limit us out – reasonability solves

b) Predictable Ground is not Preferred Ground: No right to your favorite arguments only to debates limited by the topic area. Voting against us a big penalty. They should have to win that we have made debating impossible

The thesis of the affirmative is backward – technological innovation is stifled by neoliberalism – it locks in profit as the only motive of innovation which ignores technological development that has a social good as a goal. Only the alternative solves this back.

We are constantly bombarded with the myth that capitalism drives innovation, technology, and

Your managerialism/objectivity turns are not offensive-the aff doesn’t seek to eliminate policy toward the environment, or scientific knowledge-it merely affirms that epistemologies are not rigidly objective, but constantly shifting.  Only this viewpoint can restore a balance between male and female influences on nature.  Traditional science will inevitably fail to solve environmental problems as long as it is disinterested.
