(2,770 posts)you're the one who is confused. My comment was clearly about how you would react to an OP posted by someone else, not yourself.
"... if someone posted that women are selfish, women are gold-diggers, women are into S&M, women are untrustworthy without using qualifiers such as "a few" women, or "some" women, you wouldn't react to it, because you would accept that the OP was more important than your being offended."
I think we can all safely assume that YOU would never have posted an OP stating that "women are selfish, women are gold-diggers", etc. Ergo, it was more than obvious that I was referring to an OP posted by someone other than yourself.
Nice dodge, though - or would have been, were it not so blatantly a dodge.
"
I) never try to speak with any authority here."
When you stated that "they trot out some puppet women who will agree with every hateful thing they say about feminists, and say 'See, even women disagree with you'," it sounded as though you were speaking with a great deal of authority - as though you were presenting an indisputable fact, a fact that you could actually back up, instead of just pulling some ridiculous BS out of your ass and posting it as though it had any credibility whatsoever.
I have to assume - based on your incredibly silly response, which was limited to your equally silly notion that I had confused a hypothetical OP with an OP you might have written - that you actually have NO intelligent response to anything I've said.
And that's pretty much what I expected.
