Hey OP, when you see this, block me please. That’s the thing you do where we can’t see or interact with each other’s stuff anymore. I’d do it myself, but I don’t want to accidentally unblock you, so I’d prefer if you did it. And then deleted the app and went to school or something. Your behavior is a great argument in favor of summer camps

Bro 💀 When you say something, those words have meaning. You cannot just apply your own meaning to words that already exist in the English language. When you say that someone STARTS trying to do something, it means they weren't already doing it

The premise: women are socialized to be passive in courtship. In a sapphic context, a woman who breaks that script and pursues another woman would beat out a man competing for the same attention. Her defiance of gender norms carries more weight than a man following the script he was already handed, especially since women already filter out an oversaturated pool of men, many of whom they're wary of to begin with. That premise was rejected because you think that i said women dont put effort at all

That’s an example of tone policing. You want me to acknowledge that women are trying, because you’re assuming that my critical tone toward women in the premise means I think they aren’t.

So, that THAT STILL ISNT TONE POLICING And, that wasn’t your premise, that was a thing you added 20 hours AFTER you made your post And, your post’s argument is built on the misogynistic assumptions that 1) women are passive in courtship (they aren’t) and 2) women choose their partners based on your abstract concept of “weight” And, you’re misrepresenting my argument, because, you know, you did say that women don’t put in effort.

I don’t know exactly who you are. Some people on that thread said I had a critical tone toward women, and that meant I was tone policing them specifically. Now you’re doing the same thing by calling me condescending, and I’m not condescending anyone. I don’t think I’m better than anyone here. I’m not placing myself above women right now. I’m doing the exact opposite.

I was three on that post. As the only person that composes sentences like this, I feel that’s fucking plain to see. You are in fact, being condescending to women when you say they could outcompete any man “if they put effort in.” That’s the “nerdy girl takes off her glasses and becomes pretty” school of condescension. And as the screenshot says, it’s not tone policing. Because your argument was already dismissed. Here’s the screenshot again. Feels relevant.

They said that criticizing women in dating was misogynistic. The “and” was a typo. They didn’t dismiss my argument for other reasons; they just raised a concern about transphobia in my sources, which I addressed. Then when you asked me to cross-reference it with trans affirming documents using the talking points in my source, I said I can’t guess what specific things you’re quoting, and I’d like to know so I can cross-reference it with trans affirming sources.

I can’t address the transphobia effectively if you won’t quote what’s transphobic. All I can tell you is that from a broad assessment of what I gathered from the sources, it wasn’t, and that the same language I think you’re referring to is the same language used to affirm trans people. But I can’t guess what you’re trying to quote, so I’m asking… please quote it.
