But what YOU don't seem to be getting is that this isn't some random topic, it's a topic that involve and affect women. If the MAJORITY of that group feel a certain way about an issue that concerns THEM, who am I to tell them that their organs don't translate into understanding the topic?
Therein lies the difference then, I don’t partake of ad populum. Especially about a nuanced subject where individual experiences are as valid as what could be considered the group consensus.
As for the rest you’re still missing the point. You said;

If you don't have any understanding then you cannot make an informed decision.
People do make uninformed, reactionary, or politically aligned, decisions though. The sad part is that they do it just as confidently as the people who are informed, damn whatever consequences may come.
