I do not bother trying to argue with obvious misogynists, racists, homophobes, as that would imply that they have an "argument" worth engaging with. I can't remember the exact wording, but Woody Allen once said something about how you shouldn't argue with fascists; you should beat them with baseball bats. I can get behind that.
How does one answer a question when there is no meaningful question to answer? How does one refute an argument when there is no real argument to refute? A madman stands on the corner screaming that he has proof that the world is going to end tomorrow. Do you bother to discuss his points rationally with him, or do you just move along? A hateful troll leaves a bunch of stupid nonsense on a page, and demands an answer to it. Do you try to reason with the hateful troll, or do you move along?
Are you really equating me to a crazy person ranting about the end of the world? The only thing I was saying is that I'm tired of hearing how privileged man are, and that being a woman has it's perks too. If somehow, saying that women have it better in some areas is misogyny, I'm a fucking happy misogynist. But that isn't the case and you know this. I know you well enough to know that you're not that stupid.
If you believe that makes me a misogynist, well, I can't do much more than to say I'm not, because I'm not. But keep in mind that "misogyny" has an actual definition and saying that men can't grow a child in them clearly doesn't fall under it. Neither would pointing out that women have THE POSSIBILITY of manipulating men, now if I said that all women do that, that would be misogyny. But I don't say that, because I know better.
I guess you mistook my argument as a man calling the whambulance, instead of a call for objectivity. Maybe it was the sarcastic and hyperbolic way I did it in, but that's me and it's not going to change.
If you'd like to have an honest discussion without unfactual name-calling, that would be nice and if you don't I won't bother you further.
