Our discourse in debate is highly gendered—making a risky argument or strategic decision is referred to as “going balls up,” two women debating together are “the girls,” competitors refer to arguments made by a female saying “on his argument,” etc. Equality will never be achieved while these “old boy” traditions remain. The critical engagement presented by the Neg is key to equality in debate.

to attain this goal or the "old boy" traditions will remain.

The debate community pushes women out of the activity for trying to be a part of something where they don’t “belong” – debate is a men’s game meant to exclude “nice girls”, who should be in a less competitive, less aggressive extra-curricular. Debate is a model of the real world and the exclusion of women from the activity because they don’t fit into pre-conceived gender roles designs our future participation in policy discourse

The alt is to reject the hierarchal assumptions of the 1ac and engage in a critical examination of how we, through our interactions with others, create hidden assumptions of what “good” debate is and exclude women from the intellectual opportunities that training in debate provides. We can no longer afford to engage in complacency while the activity loses its validity and increase the rights violations that it so frequently indicts.

The affirmative is a fundamental misreading of politics and the reproduction of social relations.  There is no vague, floating discursive evil that seeks to manage and control populations for the sake of power.  The state and capital move hand in glove—one cannot exist without the other.  Only by using the state to eradicate the metabolic foundations can we allow for the destruction of capital.  Otherwise what is pushed out the door only comes back in through the window

Mezaros 1995
Istavan, (Prof. Emeritus @ Univ. Sussex) Beyond Capital: Towards a Theory of Transition, pg 65

The modern state as the comprehensive political command structure of capital — is both the
AND
faithful to the Marxian concern with the ‘withering away’ of the state.
Furthermore, the absence of structural historicism and THEIR RELIANCE ON GENDER AS THE SITE OF POLITICAL CONTESTATION IS NOT AN ACCIDENTAL INSTANCE OF IGNORING CLASS.  The demand arises out of the crisis of liberalism—such politics particularizes the oppressions of capitalism to the point that the universal system is naturalized.  Attaining white, male bourgeoisie privilege becomes the bench-mark of political success, re-entrenching the very foundation of the system

Although this détente between universal and particular within liberalism is potted with volatile conceits,

produced by capitalism in addition to that bound to the explicitly politicized marking.

Next, the reduction of class to a neutral level among a long list of other oppressions such as race and gender, destroys the emancipatory potential of class to reach across all lines of identity and forge political action.  Class must be recognized as qualitatively more important—otherwise the system is able to satisfy demands on grounds of formal equality, destroying attempts to overcome capitalist oppression

Gimenez  2001
Martha, (Prof. Sociology at UC Boulder) “Marxism and Class; Gender and Race”, Race, Gender and Class, Vol. 8, p. online: http://www.colorado.edu/Sociology/gimenez/work/cgr.html

There are many competing theories of race, gender, class, American society,
AND
what happens in social interactions grounded in "intersectionality" is class power.

From the perspective of structural kritik, there can be no such thing as ‘making things better’— their model of politics fundamentally exaggerate the importance of the formal institution of politics and power, ignoring the ways such a system creates knowledge—only a marxist shift to kritik the structure and create mass social consciousness will overcome this failure of politics

The oppression of women end relegation of reproduction to the private sphere are not ahistorical products of sexism or patriarchy, but rather are historical productions of the emergence of a classed society founded on the logic of surplus accumulation. This shift from necessity to surplus solidified the pre-existing division of labor based on need and then sexed it to justify inequality

men against women encourage us to fight each other rather than organizing together.

Vote Negative to validate and adopt the method of structural/historical criticism that is the 1NC.
This is not the alternative, but in truth the only option- Method is the foremost political question because one must understand the existing social totality before one can act on it- grounding the sites of political contestation or knowledge outside of labor and surplus value merely serve to humanize capital and prevent a transition to a society beyond oppression

The 1ac represents a symbollic fiction, a mere representation of life itself, these kinds of representations are hostile to life itself, the only way to establish truth is through living and experience, its impossible to discern through the 1ac
