And even if every one of your stolen links actually made a case against “feminism,” they wouldn’t amount to a thousandth the abuse women suffer in every single country at the hands of men alone. Is it irrefutable fact that men systematically oppress women throughout the world, especially men like you who will do ANYTHING to convince themselves and others that they’re the real victims….but the fact is, you are not in any way in danger from feminism in any form. At all. How about you pick out one thing from your little shopping list for me, and I’ll tell you precisely why you’re wrong about it? Then you can pick another one. We can keep going as loooong as you want :)

Tell you what, I was going to debate with you until you put the lovely little sunshine :) on the end. So, I’ll tell you what; you came to me, you pushed your point, and I responded with a huge, in fact, a gargantuan list of links that show exactly what is wrong with feminism, a problem I’ve raised that you’re only proving more and more by sending me this message in the first place.

“America has invested her religion as well as her morality in sound income-paying securities. She has adopted the unassailable position of a nation blessed because it deserves to be blessed; and her sons, whatever other theologies they may affect or disregard, subscribe unreservedly to this national creed.

—Agnes Repplier, Times and Tendencies”

Now, this is a commentary about the condition of the US, but it applies just as well to western radical feminism as a movement, and hey, I’ll bet you’re American, so you know exactly what I’m talking about when I say that your position here is of someone who is right because they deserve to be right, because I’m so incredibly wrong that it’s more of an inconvenience than an intellectual duty that you should even have to debate. But no, I have responded, and the burden is now on you to contest my sources. So, no. You go down that list, and you disprove every single well-sourced point I’ve made. Come back to me, having written a well-thought-out, well-sourced essay that disproves my point that feminism has flaws that need to be addressed, and if you will do that and drop the condescending horseshit then I will deign to talk on this matter further with you. But the fact is this; you came to me, demanding a response. I gave it to you, and you told me, petulantly, that that doesn’t count. You’ve given me no sources, only asserted your opinion as fact, and you’re doing all this on my terms, since you’re the initiator here. So on my terms, I am saying, no. The burden’s on you. We can do this as loooong as you want. :)
