That would mean giving up my personal values, and my values are part of my identity. Why do you want me to change myself?
Probably because your personal values suck. Your argument is ultimately extremely weak. Bad people have bad values; that doesn't validate them. Hitler had values, and they were undoubtedly part of his identity. You'd be nonetheless hard-pressed to convince yourself that his values were somehow validated by simple virtue of them being his. In short, yes, you should change your shitty values because your values make you into a huge, misogynist dick.
Let me ask you a simple question: do you hold men and women to different codes of morality? Why?
Edit: Your rep comment is really cute. For posterity: "Beta male. White knight. Pathologically gets himself friendzoned. Also, another one of those new age liberals who like to prove how superior they are on the basis of being more "tolerant" (while not displaying much tolerance of his own)."
First of all, I'd like to state that I'm definitely no white knight. I think the modern feminist movement has by-and-large evolved beyond itself in the worst way; it has ceased to be egalitarian. White knights are far from egalitarian, and are ultimately misogynistic themselves as they imply women are incapable of defending themselves. I hold no such belief.
Secondly, I find your ability to deduce so much about me from ultimately so little to be astounding. I say astounding, but I really mean complete bullshit considering I'm engaged to someone and get sex regularly.
Lastly, I have no tolerance for assholes like you who think they're better than other people. Apparently you're only capable of evaluating others in terms of preconceived labels. Have you no originality?
