Rape Culture 101

169. From my perspective, the problem is not disagreement

Now I may be thinking of something entirely different from Sheldon, so I speak only of my own experience here. My problem is not with posters, whether male or female, who disagree with me on issues. What I find particularly frustrating is that some people don't engage with issues at all but rather attack certain individuals based, so it seems, on personal dislike more than anything else. In such cases, I have no idea what those members' views are, other than they seem to align themselves with certain members against others.
I see no reason why I need to look more favorably on the female members who behave in such ways than I do the male members. I find that particular approach to discussion unproductive and just plain ugly, whether the poster is male or female. That they might do so doesn't mean they can't think for themselves, but nor does it mean I need to like how they choose to deal with discussions.
