This is a strawman argument. I never said that trying to change the behaviours of men isn't important or more important. I was only refuting the author's claim

This is a strawman argument. I never said that trying to change the behaviours of men isn't important or more important. I was only refuting the author's claim that fixing the pipeline would not contribute to fixing this issue.
- bsanderson 9y agoI don't see anything on the original site where the author claims that fixing or improving the pipeline would not "contribute" to fixing the issue so maybe a bit of straw from your end as well. My understanding of the author's motivation is that it was in response to positions others are taking in saying that the root cause was the pipeline, and the central premise of the site (clearly by its URL) was that even if the pipeline was 100% fine, there are more significant issues that are the causes of the problem that are not taken as seriously as they should when people present the pipeline as being the central problem. Not sure who's making that claim so maybe some straw from the original author of the site as well. Strawmen all the way down sometimes. Maybe isitONLYapipelineproblem.com might have been more clear.
