Tournament: NDT | Round: 1 | Opponent: Northwestern MV | Judge: Topp, Varda, Larson The use of the term "islamophobia" precludes solvency for people with “phobic" perspectives
Tournament: NDT | Round: 1 | Opponent: Northwestern MV | Judge: Topp, Varda, Larson Black suffering is foundational to the emergence of their political ontology. Even if they can describe similarities empirically - these are all contingent and not foundational forms of violence. The blackening of certain bodies, such as immigrants or arabs, is the circulation of anti-black suffering. Stances against indefinite detention pose no threat to the structural order - they maintain a distinction between the foreign occupation, which constitutes war, and the domestic where violence is privatized.

Saying your plan has an impact on black bodies doesn’t resolve the issue of anti-blackness. The Executive War Powers Authority will remain an oppressive colonialist institution after the plan. That you think you have done so is the worst form of conservatism
To choose to elaborate the problem of prisons from the starting point of detention actively mischaracterizes what the prison is- without calling for the end of the US military as an enterprise directly contributes to making a more tolerable prison state.

The aff defends the reconfiguration of the military industrial complex to produce a more efficient process of war - but this is to misunderstand the fundamentally irrational and ideological operations of American politics.

The impact is genocidal messianism through interventionism.

Violation – The plan restricts a war powers authority by reason of Islamophobia, not duration of detention, which is arbitrary detention, not indefinite detention.
Reasons to prefer – Limits – Allowing the aff to define detention by reason makes prison abolition and infinite number of detention affs topical Precision – There is a clear term of art difference between arbitrary and indefinite detention, that is key to predictable negative strategy and research Topicality is a voting issue for competitive equity and should be evaluated via competing interpretations.

The 1ac asks you to imagine and wait for a better world - womyn are detained by this promise- held in perpetual suspension while we fight one war to stop another, sign another piece of paper, get more portable skills. This is the ontological death of women, where no political change proceeds from our embodied experience. The 1AC only speaks for the male-dominated world and serves only to legitimize its existence by exposing the grotesque for spectatorship. Dworkin 5 (Andrea, “I Want a Twenty-Four-Hour Truce During Which There Is No Rape” Peacework 32.356 (Jun/Jul 2005): 12-14.)
I have thought a great deal about how a feminist, like myself, addresses AND having given one's body in marriage and then having no rights over it.
There are non-incidental norms established about rhetoric and deliberation that exclude womyn as representatives of vulnerability, physicality, and emotion.

And the AFFs Pedagogy can never be successful unless male privilege comes first – Civilized oppression becomes the process of exclusion through normalized everyday life.

You have to confess to him, you are guilty of the crime of having been forced. -Adrienne Rich, "Rape"
Our alternative is to reject the aff's method of surrender in favor of embodied lesbian separatism.

Tournament: Gonzaga | Round: Octas | Opponent: Gonzaga BJ | Judge: Man is nothing more than a walking dildo, unworthy even to provide pleasure, biologically and socially irredeemable, a deficient woman, half- dead. The only area in which men have succeeded is the public sphere and social relations: manipulating media and knowledge production to perpetuate the myth that women need men. We must seize back the sources of discourse and the information economy to move towards progress. Solanas 68 Valerie, S.C.U.M.

(ableism modified)
Violence has been graphed upon the female body – it is the territory war is fought over. Peace is a state of emergency for women. Women are denied ontological humanity. Our bodies are purely fungible; commodities to be traded between men as a way of possessing us as well as the environment. Ray in 1997A. E. Ray “The Shame of it: gender-based terrorism in the former Yugoslavia and the failureof international human rights law to comprehend the injuries.” The American University Law Review. Vol 46.

Our alternative is a radical lesbian separatism that divorces itself from the affirmative. Only Reclaiming the notion of lesbianism beyond mere sexual classification breaks from the norms imposed by Male Hegemony and exposes the dehumanizing understanding of woman as an object to be fucked by man. To reclaim lesbianism is to reject the demands of the male cultural system and to create and celebrate the bonds of the female world.
What is a lesbian? A lesbian is the rage of all women condensed to AND women from forming any primary attachments, groups, or associations among ourselves.
To disallow women-only spaces is an act of patriarchal control – the AFF has no alternative to solve male privilege other than to toss all forms of sexual difference into one group Real in 2012 Julian Real. “Who Gets to define “women-only space”? People WITH male privilege or people WITHOUT male privilege?” People of color Organize. 2012. http://peopleofcolor.tumblr.com/post/15029267647/who-gets-to-define-women-only-space-people-with-male This whole Western assault on women/wimmin-only space by people who are AND for women’s and girls’ liberation from men, male supremacy, and male domination
? Any struggle against oppression that aims to address only particular instances or engages in reformist politics fails to expose and challenge the overarching structure of male domination. We must seek a politics of consciousness raising and revolution, joining together in connections among women for women, without which there can be no freedom, dignity, or autonomy.
Radicalesbians 1970 Radicalesbians, “The Woman Identified Woman” http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/wlm/womid/(MI) But why is it that women have related to and through men? By virtue AND of all coercive identifications, and to achieve maximum autonomy in human expression. anger comes from a woman’s experiences of violence and oppression by the hands of men. It unleashes a frightening rage capable of changing the world around her. Women will no longer be a walking apology, and lesbian rage demands attention and even without it tears at the walls of male supremacy for new female-driven world-making. Kaplow in 1973 Susi Kaplow. “Getting Angry” Radical Feminism. 1973. Two scenarios: An angry man: someone has infringed on his rights, gone AND personal to the political and becomes a force for shaping our new destiny.
Female rage is a necessary strategy for the fight against patriarchy – forcing the movement underground into conscious raisings keep the conversation in the domestic sphere Lesage 1985 – Julia.

In* the introduction and chapter 1, we saw how the aporia between Black AND its very nature, crowds out and forecloses the Slaveand#39;s grammar of suffering.
And the grammar of suffering that has resulted from white supremacy has made it impossible to theorize a black ontology through the status of being non-human.

The ballot is something political. Beyond strictly wins and losses, it informs the way that we create norms in this community. We must focus on how our language shapes our perceptions as debaters, people, and political subjects. We may not be able to make a change in the “real” world, but we can change our community You do not have your hands on the levers of power, what you can change however is our community. The detached stance of the policy maker in debate divorces us from true advocacy and is one of the most debilitating failures of contemporary education. Throwing around war and extinction as if you have resolved it is precisely that. DSRB 2008 (Shanara,"THE HARSH REALITIES OF “ACTING BLACK”: HOW AFRICAN-AMERICAN POLICY DEBATERS NEGOTIATE REPRESENTATION THROUGH RACIAL PERFORMANCE AND STYLE," pg. 118-120)
Mitchell observes that the stance of the policymaker in debate comes with a “sense AND attempt to make their social locations visible and relevant to their rhetorical stance.
We are graded according to idealizations of the proper debate subject – this means that we often must negotiate our own subjectivities in order to speak here in the first place. This is gendered for a few reasons: Argument Emphasis Logic and rationality are prioritized modes of speaking, meaning any arguments that aren’t in these idealized frames are seen as inferior and are less likely to be evaluated, and those who are making the arguments are punished for their difference in modes of articulation. Risk calculus is also prioritized over our relationship to our community, and the actual impact to the words that we are using. Sometimes, for the sake of “having answers,” people are willing to justify some reprehensible things such as racism, imperialism, sexism, and small(er) wars to avoid risking large scale wars. Debate Personas Many women feel that they have to pick some kind of “debate persona,” and the (false) choice that is often available is to either be sexualized, perceived of as passive, or adopt the role of “bitch.” Beyond rounds, it creates dynamics for social interactions within the community. Schwartz-Dupre also writes that:
As debaters, women are often projected to be the most physically attractive, organized AND high level of commitment their male peers do into argument construction and coaching.
Sexual Violence There is a serious problem in debate. For as outspoken and progressive as we’d like to think we are, we still have a hard time addressing sexual violence and harassment that happens within our own community. Debate is a unique situation where, if someone does not come forward about the AND of having to confront that experience repeatedly in one weekend is extraordinarily high. The tools that we are given to address such issues, such as filing a sexual harassment claim with CEDA, are lengthy and an equally traumatic process. The impact is the actual limitation of participation. The numbers speak for themselves. There are many fewer wimmin in college debate than there are in high school. Schwartz-DuPre writes: When outsiders ask about debate I often compare the competition to a tennis match. AND the stylistic preferences of the game. Their 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 wimmin out of the national circuit or outrounds. Bruschke and Matz write: Both previous and current studies reveal an uneven playing field in both debate tournaments and AND in proportion to males or relative to their own participation in preliminary rounds.

The stability of the aff is ensured through a state of emergency for wimmin. The affirmative places undue emphasis on existential impacts – this calculus has gained epistemological privilege that requires low burden of proof due to assumptions and preferences of discourse advanced by individuals isolated from everyday impacts of social hierarchies like colonialism – must actively displace this dominant understanding of violence by over-privileging “everyday” violence like poverty and political repression.
