    Used to see that mentality heaps on Twitter, that X isn’t up for debate etc. People should really go back there if that’s how they want to engage in their online discourse, the point of the fediverse isn’t to be another echo chamber.

      Could you give an example of two of which topics you want to debate that others say aren’t up for debate?

            It’s mostly a multi-tweet long religious rant. The overall content itself isn’t important, the main point being that they’re not interested in any actual debate, they just want to dump their opinions out there and position it as fact.

              Sounds like most people on the internet; just shitting opinions out into the open internet and completely unwilling to accept that people might have their own opinions on your opinions.

          I’m not really interested in opening a link to that site. I was more asking you to list, in your own words, an example or two of topics you think should be up for debate.

            All topics should always be up for debate. If you’re putting an idea forward in a diverse circumstance you’d better be prepared to debate it. Anything else just seems petty and acting like the victim.

            A comic that shows a good example of misogyny. Bigots who hate women use the term “feminist” to attack women. It’s the same shit as complaining there’s no “White History Month”. The point of those terms is to promote equality while calling out the oppression of said group that needs their rights protected. But attacking verbiage that everyone understands is a way for bigots to dogwhistle and attack those groups.

              And addressing your poor comment further: you’re part of the problem for believing the original comic is actuate or agreeable in any way. Bullshitting the general statement that you’re about equality is a joke. Yeah? How about the equality of people in Africa compared to feminists in America? You feminists gearing up to tackle that inequality any time soon? No? So obviously your focus is much more restricted, and that’s fine. Just stop the bullshit. Feminism is not and never was for progressing anything but female equality, so stop virtue signaling that it’s about equality for all when that’s clearly not the case.
