Arrgh.
They were ranting about this guy in
feminist_rage. I mostly skimmed through what was going on, but now he's posting whiny crap in
mens_studies. He's claimed to be trying to understand, but he's not trying at all.
Why is it that the people who Just Don't Get It(tm) are the loudest?
Oh right, because feeling entitled to make YOUR opinions the pivotal point of any discussion is an aspect of privilege!
Silly me.
Edit: I've been added to
feminist. *blinks* Hey, well, no chasing down a mod.

I'd say that it isn't worth the trouble to argue with people like that for that very reason, but, then, I tend not to argue with most people.

Some people...

I sincerely hope no one ever thinks I'm as stupid as he clearly is.
The worst part - and I was discussing this with my mother - is that he seems to sincerely root for feminist issues. If he was just a troll, he'd be much easier to ignore.
