Business as usual on OWF. :P
@ Dipstikk - Sorry man, I wasn't being clear (I keep doing that). My argument wasn't aimed at you, though what you said set me off ranting about something I've been thinking about for a while. I have a personal issue with someone who I thought I knew very well, but she insulted my own race and gender simply because, when she pressed me for an opinion of the article about Infamous 2
that I keep linking to, I said that it was nitpicking and that such arguments would be better suited against sexism-related issues that are actually harmful to people.
By doing what she did, she turned me against her cause rather than make me support it, even if feminism is a perfectly just cause. I actually didn't have much of a view on it in the first place, seeing as I didn't see gender as being a reason to discriminate, so therefore never really thought about it much until recently. That too was incredibly criminal and ignorant according to her. But as I said at the end of my last post, maybe my issue is with people who take things too far and become unreasonable.
There isn't anything in your last post that I disagree with.

It's a fascinating subject and you guys are doing yourselves a huge disservice by belittling or dismissing it because of the "feminazi" minority. There are people like that no matter what it is.

It's case and point of that right here - Taking a view too seriously and insulting people who don't agree with you is a very bad way of putting it across, like my friend did. Learn from her fail.
