I’m thrilled. I would point that I don’t know LinusK from Adam - he’s ’ a doper’ inasmuch as you’re ‘a doper’, so your use of the word ‘friend’ is one of the least friendly interpretations I’ve encountered. It really just means “they both disdain the ideology I identify with, and since I don’t have an argument as such I’ll just go where we don’t have to pull our punches and try to slur them both by saying they’re chums with each other”. Predictable enough - and your first…error, let’s say error (I know you can insult people here, I’m not sure if you can outright call them a liar).
I suppose it’s okay when your frie… um, fellow ‘doper’ LinusK does the same thing, right?
Again, I think you and your friends are taking the norms from another sub-forum, and applying them here. GD is not a social club, or a virtual community. It’s a place to debate ideas. Generally, the more assertively you put forward your argument, the more likely you are to get responses.
Yes. Many (not all) were dishonest, particularly after your friends joined the thread . Not only that, they were personal attacks, which are explicitly against the rules of GD.
I’m beginning to think you’re more than a friend, maybe you’re his Mr. Hyde. He does appear to suffer memory lapses where he can’t remember what he’s posted. Hmm…

I don’t really want to drag that whole thread over here (though if your gang of snarkists want to waste their time here rather than my time there, go ahead) but your characterisation of that one exchange is flawed on so many levels. If you gave a hoot about reliable citations, you’d not be a feminist in the first place.
What reliable citation? That ridiculous Tumblr link? That’s your alleged “reliable citation” for your claim about suffragettes?
Quite early on I linked to a mass of citations from a female anti-feminist, covering that topic, the predominance of the fringe over the uncritical ‘moderate’ centre, the violence and hatred and prejudice and ignorance of feminism, the inequality inherent in feminism’s ‘definition’ of ‘equality’, and so on. I don’t feel the need to repeat myself for each individual who shows up trying to save my soul - and as I’ve just mentioned elsewhere, if you cared about reaching a conclusion by weighing up reliable citations and taking pains to avoid confirmation bias or closed echo chambers , you’d have done your own homework and you’d be subjected to the same aggressive absence of argument that I’m engaged with here.
Funny how you seem to suffer the same memory lapses as LinusK , thinking you’ve provided evidence of anything other than your own delusions.
