Assume that you actually agree with everything in this post about the intentional fallacy and the objectionability of certain types of statements. What, then, of this?
Kiki: Sarah Palin is stupid!
Karl: That is a sexist statement.
Kiki: No it's not; I wasn't even thinking that.
Is Kiki being:
(a) disingenuous;
(b) sincere;
(c) it doesn't matter; the assertion that a female leader is stupid, given the history of aspersions against women's intellectual equality with men, is a sexist assertion.
