The consequence of turning femanine equality into an ideology

[Glow]

Okay. First of all, I didn't pick that battle, if that's what you meant. I was trying to diffuse some of the focus on what's wrong, and perhaps focus on any progress we may have made as a culture. Your search engine results tell a bleak story. But when you consider the bulk of human population it's not surprising.

I meant more that my picking of the battle was absurd, didn't mean to make that accusation towards you. I just felt silly even perpetuating the argument.

Got it.

What surprises me is that MORE people didn't speak out against the hate speech! If we're actually all one, and as APW says, anything that happens to one gender happens to the other - then why aren't there any men who are upset that e_s called women lazy and without value? (This was a blanket statement he made, not "some women" or "I believe this could be the case". It was a full stop.) Nick presented what could possibly have been a fruitful topic of discussion, but it got dragged into the mud with extremism. The fact that the "women blowing up on him" are again, perceived as the aggressors in this topic, is ludicrous. They weren't blowing up on him because he's a man, they were blowing up on him because he said hateful things about women. It just so happens that these two things usually coincide, by nature of polarity.

And yet there are different ways to absorb content and act or react to content.

I personally did not feel offended by E_S's comments. They seemed like triggered responses to me on the one hand, which may derive from difficulties he had. On the other hand, I'm not in that paradigm of defending womankind because I have no attachment to it. I know I'm not lazy. I know women who are not lazy. I know women and men who are lazy, and I know men who are not. So what difference do his comments make to me, or even on behalf of humanity, when they are HIS (I assume E_S is a man) distortions or issues, not mine. One may say they are humanity's, but my view of that is to work on self, as might have been gathered from my posts.

Your approach. How has that been helping the world elvolve over the last 2000 know years of history where everyone did that. Everything stayed the same. So some people have to "be paradigm breakers".
