If you were slightly more careful about throwing ice water on the position and not the person, you and I would likely have zero friction. I have a different agenda from you, but our agendas are not incompatible. You were quick to leap to conclusions about me and tar me. I see this as fundamentally problematic, regardless of your agenda, and quite counterproductive if you want to end rape culture. Not that you are in any way required to take that point of view under advisement or act on it.

I was actually rather careful to address ideas specifically rather than individuals. I only used the poster as a passive subject in an accusation of an MRA agenda. > I see this as fundamentally problematic, regardless of your agenda, and quite counterproductive if you want to end rape culture. That is your opinion. I think shame has its place. We are on a curious website where we can actively call people names if we are discussing technology and it is considered par for the discourse. But once the space of "politics" (read as, "fundamental human rights") enters the equation then suddenly we must all suddenly respect everyone's right to any opinion no matter how oppressive or facile. I reject that notion. I will not be able to respond to you anymore today. I am rate limited and I'm fairly sure this is my final post for the day.

  I am an alpha female. They have different priorities from an alpha male. Those priorities are complementary to each other. While not in direct conflict, they coexist in tension. When the tension is at a healthy balance, it creates a vital social dynamic. http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2016/09/profile-of-alpha-female-wolf.html http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2016/09/profile-of-a... Since I already allowed as how that was merely my point of view, it is redundant to tell me that is just my opinion.
