Do you consider yourself to be an intellectual? Because this is the response of someone who doesn't want to have an honest conversation. Maybe you should screencap my post for tumblr, I think you'll find a lot of people who mindlessly agree with you over there.

How does handing women everything (including magic power) teach them any good morals? How does making Rey special for no reason help real world women overcome conflict? You know how I am about slander Mr. Boru, I don't take kindly to anti-intellectual accusations which seek to use hateful-speech as a replacement for a genuine discussion. And if you're going to make an accusation of me then you should at least have the courage to defend it.

Perhaps you are insisting that women should be handed everything because they were born with a pair of X chromosomes? Is this how you would raise your daughters, and how well behaved do you think they would be? Would they show any amount of respect for those less fortunate? Would they ever learn compassion or understanding? Would you even bother to teach your daughters moral values?

If you are an intellectual then I'm sure you'll agree with me that Ad-Hominin is no substitute for logic or reason.

You seem to be labouring under the misapprehension that I’m interested in having a ‘genuine discussion’ with you. Sorry if I did anything to mislead you on that score.

And it’s ‘ad hominem’, a fallacy of which I am not guilty (well, not in THIS thread, at least). This is how it works:

Ad hominem: Your positions are wrong because you’re a terrible person.

Not ad hominem: Your positions are wrong on their own merits.

See?
