In reply to the discussion: Do you identify as a man or a woman? [View all]Locut0s
(6,154 posts)37. I think I may have misread your post...
The following paragraph...
"I don't go for arguments that are based solely on "I am (fill in gender, ethnicity, faith, other personal identifier) ergo, my experience is the experience of everyone in the group, and because of that, my authority on this topic is superior to yours.
"
I read this as you saying that your authority on this topic is superior to mine because of your unwillingness to go for such arguments. I see now you probably meant the opposite, that people who go for such arguments argue from a place of false superiority.
If that's the case I apologise.
