Easy for you to say

Maggie O'Brien

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This paper argues that the retort ‘easy for you to say’ is a complaint about the target’s standing, but that it invokes a standing norm that is unjustified. Moreover, I argue that in many cases the person for whom it is ‘easy to say’ should speak.
