What's wrong with rationalizing things? Should we just take it for pure truth because a woman said it?

What's wrong with rationalizing things? Should we just take it for pure truth because a woman said it?
- Double_a_92 9y agoJudging by the downvotes I guess we really shouldn't think rationally about things. Ok, lesson learned. Thank you very much :) Actually NOT. I will not yield to those virtue signaling pricks!
- AnimalMuppet 9y ago"Rationalize" != "think rationally", despite the similarity in the words.
- orthecreedence 9y agoI think rationalizing is fine. But people tend to rationalize selectively, and only when it benefits their worldview. The parent comment made that clear, but you sidestepped that point. I don't think the downvotes are necessarily virtue signaling. I was temped to downvote you, though. I live with a woman, and know many more, and I've been party to the sexism and harassment they deal with on a day to day basis. I've been party to people not believing what they say because of what's between their legs (eg "...take it for pure truth because a woman said it?"). I've been party to my wife being groped on a crowd, and seeing young teenage girls being catcalled by grown men. I've had female friends who have been raped. At this point, the evidence is more than anecdotal to me. I find myself wondering, when I read comments like yours, if the people who make them have absolutely no connection with any women at all.
