• I stuck to the topic of the post and didn’t veer off. Anyone wants to start a different branch of the discussion, that’s fine. But that’s not what the comment I responded to did. They complained that I didn’t expand on the topic.

            No, the dismissing tone of the message providing this contradiction is the problem. It does not have the form of simple nuances or counter-arguments. It has the form of an attack on the previous commenter’s credibility.

              If counter examples to highlight flaws in blanket statements are an attack to a person’s credibility then idk what to tell you.

                I’m just saying that it isn’t as single facet as the screen shot tries to make it. It is/was a product of a full cultural shift and it wasn’t as arbitrary as that makes it out to be.

                I don’t think trying to provide a more nuanced explanation qualifies as a blanket statement…
