Essay:3 Reasons It’s Rational to Demand ‘Rationalism’ in Social Justice Activism

This essay is a side-by-side refutation of Alex-Quan Pham's Everyday Feminism article, titled 3 Reasons It’s Irrational to Demand ‘Rationalism’ in Social Justice Activism:

Summary
Pham's post is largely an attack on pragmatism and on trying to change the world a little bit at a time. It is not (or at least, not successfully) an attack on rationality.

In summary, what rationality means:
 * Rationality != realistic ideas
 * Rationality != respectabile ideas
 * Rationality != what the state says
 * Rationality != what the schools say
 * Rationality = having coherent ideas and making sure they actually fucking work
