Tekla and Vexing are absolutely right. No matter how thought out or well written or factual your arguments are, they will invariably fall back into their defensive stance and mindlessly repeat their tired rhetoric to anything you say, over and over and over until you give up, then they take your decision to leave the debate as proof that they are right. They are fanatical in their devotion to their cause, and they are well practiced in their feminist wordplay. Their ability to listen to reason and think for themselves has been stripped away just like any religious fanatic until all they can do is follow orders and repeat what has been hammered into their heads. They are very good at turning what anyone says around on them as further proof that their cause is just, and further, that there is need to continue to recruit.

I stopped paying attention to Dirt and her kind quite awhile ago. Their opinions and beliefs have no meaning to me or my way of living. I'm also much happier.

Probably since they seem to like the attention. This is much more fun.

On that note, I got Board Recognized Specialist - Swallowing

Do you think the radfems would get upset if they knew that we've stopped talking about them and just started being silly!

I'd imagine they'd hate it...there's one thing that people who take themselves way to seriously hate and that's being laughed at.

This is a good point. There is just no arguing with fanatics.

I stopped arguing with people a long time ago. As soon as I discover that the person cannot be reasoned with, I immediately stop and ignore the person. If I really feel the need to, I will contribute my point of view simply for other people who might be following it, in the hopes that someone else will gain from it... but I don't fool myself into thinking that I'll change a fanatic's mind.

I'd also add that I don't need or want their permission or approval to live my life as I see fit. I've tried the alternative, and it simply did not work. They will never know what it's like to be you or I; they only know what it's like to be a penis-hating radical feminist* that wants to establish a new world order with themselves appointed as supreme ruler. They don't just want equality, they want the utter destruction of anyone who doesn't fall in line or fit their mold. I'm really tired of hearing them regurgitate their words ad nauseum, particularly the word "patriarchy", and phrases like "Male Medical Machine" etc etc etc. I guess if they repeat it long enough it becomes true. At least to their minds.


*apologies to the majority of Feminists; I know I'm speaking of a small minority in the Feminist camp, but they speak so loudly they have become a hateful caricature of Feminism.
