To make it clear, I'm not advocating against feminism and the debate of this topic in and on itself, but us technical people, men and women of enlightenment-era reason "Vernunft" need to consistently contest the growing conflation between debate and disagreement. It is wrong to automatically assume that when we consider something "debatable" we secretly believe it to be "irrefutably false". That is an uncultured and rather arrogant stance, because an actual debate we enter with the humility of the possiblity that we, all parties entering debates, any and all of us may be wrong.
To quote Stephen Fry, ''I would like this quotation from Bertrand Russell to hover over the evening. "One of the painful things of our time is that those feel certainty are stupid, and those with any imagination and understanding are filled with doubt and in decision. Let doubt prevail.''
