But your not seeing the big picture.
OK, and how do you see the big picture?
Must distance one's self from it.
Not to in any way contribute to the current discussion. It was a question screaming for an answer.
i am a feminist (among other things) by virtue of this fact, Al doesn't trust any opinion I have on subjects different from feminism.
Actually I do not think you are a Feminist. Not in the real sense. I think you are an idealist. I think you look at the world not from Feminist filter but rather an idealists filter. I think you believe in the good associations you believe Feminism has or has provided. I think your idealist does at best makes you very resistant to seeing the bad in Feminism and at worst blinds you entirely.
Do I trust you on subjects unrelated to Feminism because you are a Feminist? No.
I distrust your opinion because of your idealist filter.....but I do entertain them anyhow. I think that there is like with most of the posters, at the very least hidden gems even with people that i actively disagree with on pretty much everything.
I am wary. I am aware you are an idealist and so whatever you say, I check against the fact that you are prone to idealism to varying degrees. On this basis I look at your arguments for things like Feminism and keep your idealism firmly in the forefront of my mind and weigh it against your every syllable.
Hey at the same time someone could make the argument that I am arrogant and opinionated and that my ramblings must be weighed against this filter and really I would have no case to answer.
When you make claims about what I think of you or about you, probably better to ask. I am not shy.
