(110,159 posts)for years and more. we know each others poisition. the poster you are having conversation with spent a year throwing in da doors, the doors, in every womans issue that came up on gd. it was all about dismissing womens issues. it was all about derailing.
there was an op on benevolent sexism. someone asked what that was. i gave a few examples, holding doors open, pulling out chairs. then the definition of benevolent sexism. a valid academic feminist position. merit for discussion. this poster grabbed onto da doors. women wont let us hold open doors. men threw out 5, 10, 20 ops about the bad ole feminists telling men they would not allow them to hold open doors.
that had nothing to do with one little ole post i made, providing a definition of benevolent sexism.
this poster then proceeded to bring up da doors... for a good year, in every conversation.
so. when that poster makes a statement that we are "overreacting", i get he is trying to define others behavior and maybe it would behoove me to investigate, as he has an agenda, rather than just by his caricature.
