you should try a feminist forum instead
While I agree with you on the offtopicness, I'd say that discussing
such issues on feminist forums only doesn't usually help to
promote societal changes in the large (which could be considered part of
feminist objectives). I.e., it doesn't help trying to change people's
minds outside of the mostly closed group of people in the forum,
who are typically either friends or declared enemies of the ideas.
In other words, it's either preaching to the choir, or senselessly trying
to defend one's point of view against flamebait — which, if anything,
only serves to polarize opinions even more. (I've been frequenting
a feminist forum for a number of years, so I kinda know what I'm
talking about...)
So, personally I do understand that people occasionally try to bring
up such topics on non women centered forums, in a (maybe questionable)
attempt to reach a wider audience.
Anyhow, I've become a little tired of those discussions, so /me
goes back to her cave, as far as this topic is concerned :)
P.S.: IBlowGoatsSucker is not me in disguise, and I don't
necessarily share his/her point of view.
