Buddhist culture is inherently violent towards women, especially with social status. Their own author.

The Buddha is a dominator and causes patriarchy through his teachings and methods.

 women elders who achieved the highest goals of the spiritual life as formulated by early Buddhists.
Buddhism denies female participation. Their metaphor of the government is just another form of structural violence against women because the only people who gain that voice are the patriarchs. This leads to a denial of responsibility and education.

Monte Leach interviewed her for Share International., http://www.thefreelibrary.com/The+structural+violence+against+women3A+Buddhism+in+Thailand.-a0130138065)
Thailand is one country in the world to boast of highest percentage of population
AND
This is structural violence at the state level to deny women of Buddhist education, is it not?  
Western Buddhism is uniquely ignorant to problems of male-dominance. They assume their experience here in the West is the same as it is in the East. This sameness allows for omissions that makes historical analysis impossible.
Gross 93 (Rita, internationaly known for her works with women in religion. A Buddhist dharma teacher, leads meditation and scholar. “Buddhism After Patriarchy: A Feminist History, Analaysis, and Reconstruction of Buddhism”, page 25-26)
Because I am writing as a Western Buddhist and am convinced that many of the most significant and necessary developments
AND
most significant deviation ¶ of Western Buddhism from Asian models even to notice how important it was for them.
Buddhism empirically promotes structural violence against women. It crowds out discussion and silences voices. It closes out opportunity. Most of all, it assimilates experience and denies the actual message of the Buddha.

After 30 years in a well protected academic wall, I ventured out
AND
insisted on seeing the written order of such practice. 

Buddhism and it’s patriarchial tendencies serves to create a “fear of women” within the community.
Gross 93 (Rita, internationaly known for her works with women in religion. A Buddhist dharma teacher, leads meditation and scholar. “Buddhism After Patriarchy: A Feminist History, Analaysis, and Reconstruction of Buddhism”, page 240)
Buddhism, as we have seen, does include this ¶ motif,
AND
unlike Dinnerstein, introduction to samsara is not the only message we learn.
Buddhism assumes androcentrism as natural. This causes institutions to be exclusionary and never allows women to take leadership roles, putting them in a constant cycle of violence.
Gross 93 (Rita, internationaly known for her works with women in religion. A Buddhist dharma teacher, leads meditation and scholar. “Buddhism After Patriarchy: A Feminist History, Analaysis, and Reconstruction of Buddhism”, page 22-23)
 I do not find widespread ¶ misogyny in the Buddhist tradition,
AND
it almost always comes up in an androcentric fashion.

Patriarchal thinking justifies war, nuclear proliferation and culminates in extinction. Turns the K.

Operationalized, the evidence of patriarchy as a dysfunctional system is found in the behaviors to which it gives rise, (c), and the unmanageability (d), which results. For example, in the United States
AND
, but it is plausible. Its plausibility lies in understanding the conceptual roots of various women-nature-peace connections in regional, national and global contexts.

The alternative: Vote negative to endorse the creation of a “useable past” for women in Buddhism. This reconceptualization is a key starting point to allow women’s experience to be put into their teachings and meditation practices, which gains a deeper understanding for the sangha and allows for a sense of identity.

Androgynous View: New Concerns in Verbalizing the Dharma¶ To add to what has already been said
AND
this central insight into the absolute centrality of the sangha are two subsidiary questions. 

A “useable past” is key to feminists, specifically in context of Buddhism and religion. Any argument they give ignoring the stance of women or discounting their experience serves as a new link and perpetuates a community that does not listen to stories of experience

Their epistemology is distorted. Buddhist writings and teachings work to erase the woman from Buddhist culture. The fight for women’s rights is uniquely key when it comes to public spaces such as debate. Means we take precedence

A. Interp: signature strikes are not targeted killing—the topic is limited to individual strikes
Anderson 11—Professor at Washington College of Law, American University (Kenneth, 8/29/11, Distinguishing High Value Targeted Killing and “Signature” Attacks on Taliban Fighters, http://www.volokh.com/2011/08/29/distinguishing-high-value-targeted-killing-and-signature-attacks-on-taliban-fighters/)

From the US standpoint, it is partly that it does not depend as much as it did
AND
much about drone warfare without disentangling the distinct strategic uses to which the weapon is put.
VIOLATION: They limit signature forms of drone strikes
Voter for limits and competitive equity
Silva 3 (Sebastian Jose Silva, Faculte de Droit de l'Universite de Montreal, “Death For Life: A Study of Targeted Killing by States In International Law,” August 2003)

As defined by Steven R. David, targeted killing is the "intentional slaying
AND
their very suggestion. David's definition is essentially correct but over-inclusive.

It’s extra topical: they are able to gain offense off of drone strikes that are outside the scope of the resolution. Means they gain ground from the jump. This is a separate voter for competitive equality. 

Predictability – their interpretation conflates what targeted killing actually means – our interp has a clear intent to define and exclude. Predictability is a prerequisite for engagement because if an argument is not predictable, we will never be able to properly prepare
