Could you give an example of two of which topics you want to debate that others say aren't up for debate?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

These types of tyraids are a pretty good example of what I mean

Either someones personal opinion, a hot take based on their own perspective or something similar. There's plenty of discourse that could happen here but these people just want their own echo chamber

I'm not really interested in opening a link to that site. I was more asking you to list, in your own words, an example or two of topics you think should be up for debate.

All topics should always be up for debate. If you're putting an idea forward in a diverse circumstance you'd better be prepared to debate it. Anything else just seems petty and acting like the victim.

A comic that shows a good example of misogyny. Bigots who hate women use the term "feminist" to attack women. It's the same shit as complaining there's no "White History Month". The point of those terms is to promote equality while calling out the oppression of said group that needs their rights protected. But attacking verbiage that everyone understands is a way for bigots to dogwhistle and attack those groups.

And addressing your poor comment further: you're part of the problem for believing the original comic is actuate or agreeable in any way. Bullshitting the general statement that you're about equality is a joke. Yeah? How about the equality of people in Africa compared to feminists in America? You feminists gearing up to tackle that inequality any time soon? No? So obviously your focus is much more restricted, and that's fine. Just stop the bullshit. Feminism is not and never was for progressing anything but female equality, so stop virtue signaling that it's about equality for all when that's clearly not the case.

Whataboutism at it's finest. Angry men are amusing.

Keep dodging actual conversation and debate with your straw man arguments and fake moral superiority.
