No.

You come right out and admit it, but go into denial if I note it.

Yes, you did say that your criticisms are sometimes wrong: "I'm against feminism when sometimes I shouldn't be."
Quote:But fine, you continue to believe, despite me telling you otherwise, that I am bias.That seemed to be the point of the lengthy OP.
Quote:How does it feel, knowing someones position better than they do? You've literally taken one sentence that gives a slight implication that I was bias and completely ignored all the other examples where i'm not.It was a lot more than one sentence.

Me, I object to feminism because the story OP told isn't surprising at all. I hear about stories like that all the fucking time. How often do things like this have to happen before you people acknowledge it?Sorry, but when I hear of crazy behavior from a depressed, suicidal feminist who's receiving regular psychological care, it's not the feminism that sticks out to me. I'm gonna have to go ahead and attribute the crazy behavior to the known mental illness, rather than the feminism.
Quote:Yet your first response in this thread wasn't to acknowledge that there are crazy, extremist assholes within feminism and that many of them are actually leaders within society, college professors, authors and generally well respected, which puts them in positions to do a lot of damage.Of course not, as OP had nothing to do with extremist feminist assholes who are leaders in society.
Quote:No, your first response was to condemn the person who was telling his story.Yes, as he clearly admitted to employing a stereotype based on isolated experiences.
