Stand Point

To be very honest at a painful level.

Person 1: Rebecca is so horrible! She called me out for something embarrassing I did last year!
Person 2: She isn't horrible, she's just a stand point person.

The standpoint of water is typically wet, but not always.

This is a tough hurricane. One of the wettest we’ve ever seen from the standpoint of water.

standpoint

A word used by someone who is not really that intelligent. They think they are, but are simply grasping at a catchy word to make them look smart. Normally they add an acronym or another fancy word.

While in a business meeting, the offender would say: "From the standpoint of EBITDA, we need to....." or "From a UI or API standpoint, we should.

Scientific Standpoint

The theory, rooted in feminist epistemology, that marginalized social positions can provide epistemic advantages—insights unavailable from dominant perspectives. Someone who experiences both the dominant culture (as they must to survive) and their own marginalized culture has double vision: they see things that those fully inside power cannot. Scientific Standpoint doesn't claim that marginalized people are automatically right—it claims they have access to questions, problems, and perspectives that others miss. Good science seeks out these standpoints not for diversity's sake, but because they see ghosts the center cannot.

"The clinical trial only included men, so the drug's effects on women were invisible for decades. Scientific Standpoint says: had women been in the room designing the research, this ghost would have been seen from the start. Marginalized perspectives aren't just fair—they're better science."

Epistemological Standpoint

The theory, rooted in feminist epistemology, that marginalized social positions can provide epistemic advantages—insights unavailable from dominant perspectives. Someone who navigates both the dominant culture and their own marginalized community has double vision: they see things that those fully inside power cannot. Epistemological Standpoint doesn't claim that marginalized people are automatically right—it claims they have access to questions, problems, and perspectives that others miss. Good knowledge-seeking seeks out these standpoints not for diversity's sake, but because they see ghosts the center cannot.

"You don't understand why that policy is harmful because you've never experienced its harm. Epistemological Standpoint says: the people who experience the harm have epistemic access you don't. Listen to them not because they're automatically right, but because they see what your position hides. Their standpoint is knowledge, not opinion."
