??? perhaps it's some kind of ESL issue, but here are some similar articles I'm talking about: https://medium.com/fearless-she-wrote/shut-that-b-up-why-speaking-up-for-ourselves-as-women-is-so-hard-6d0762d14581 https://medium.com/fearless-she-wrote/shut-that-b-up-why-spe... https://janicetomich.com/women-speaking-while-female/ https://janicetomich.com/women-speaking-while-female/ I don't see how my makes me prejudiced? Society wants women to be quiet and primes them (i.e., [1]), which is one of the main ways male power dominates. How does that make me bigoted?

Edit: I think I see the misunderstanding; I meant 'primed by society starting from birth', you seem to have read 'primed by nature'

Pointing out other people that share your opinion is hardly a substantial argument.

    > So is pointing your own experience. No, not really. That's not how logic works. This puerile "no, you are" argument is meaningless. If someone makes a broad baseless accusation that all X are true and you reject that baseless assertion by stating the fact that in the very least there exists some X that are verifiably false, you don't magically annul the rejection by mindlessly claiming it's a subjective interpretation. Either all X are true, or they are not. No discussion. You can repeat all the puerile arguments you want, but if you want to defend a thesis on how all women are primed for something, in the very least you need to try to substantiate your wild claims, and your personal prejudices and bigoted views won't do.
