i just think it’s so hilarious when anti-sjs call me a hypocrite for my posts expressing frustration with certain LGBT and feminist people who are closed minded, divisive or antagonistic toward others in the community, because I refuse to listen to the oppressive and ridiculous things anti-sjs say

let’s say a scientist dismissed conservatives who didn’t believe in the existence of global warming and treated those people like ignoramuses who weren’t worth debating with as they never listened to evidence he presented them with.

then let’s say the scientist found some evidence that contradicted a detail about global warming that another scientist in the field found. say that other scientist whose evidence was contradicted got angry and defensive and treated the first scientist as being just as ridiculous and threatening as someone who didn’t believe in global warming at all

that’s not conducive to scientific discourse. and the first scientist could easily say to the second, “you are being closed minded and irrational. This is worthy of debate. you won’t hear me out or listen to my side and you are treating me like the enemy and are being dismissive.”

Then let’s say some conservative who DOES doubt the existence of global warming runs in and shouts “HYPOCRITE!!! How DARE you call that other guy stubborn and closed minded when you won’t listen to US and treat us the same way!”

that’s what you look like. I’m not willing to debate the existence of oppression, rape culture or other very obvious truths about our society, with people who know NOTHING about the subject but still persist in acting like these obvious truths are worth debating and that that their toxic and unsupported position is worth debating, even though they only use rhetorical devices and personal attacks to defend their point (and refuse to actually listen to our points or look at our evidence)

I AM however willing to discuss the finer points of the issue with people who know what they’re talking about

if you can’t see the difference between those two things, then again, it just lends more evidence to my point that you really don’t know anything about this subject
