Comment on Social Justice, Ideological Hijackings, and Ideological Securityparent

Participants on both sides are just as vile as the other. Have anti-GG been harassed? Yes. Have GG been harassed? Yes. On equal terms of severity. There are a few sane participants but they tend to be quieter and also seem to be taking a step back from it all.*

Eh no. Look globally. Are men-as-a-class second class people in any country? Nope. Are women-as-a-class? Yep (e.g. Saudi Arabia)

What does Saudi have to do with this discussion?

It's an example of a country where women are legally treated much worse than men. There are no examples of where men are legally treated much worse than women.

Yes, but what does that have to do with this discussion? If you're just going to expand the scope like that we might as well include the entire animal kingdom. Female spiders eat their mates. How is that for unfair treatment?

We're talking about "internet people." Stay on topic. Anyone can successfully argue any point by simply presenting a moving target and by veering off-topic.

I fail to understand how Saudi has anything to do with GG and anti-GG harassing people. If you think that harassment can be excused because Arab countries marginalize a gender you are delusional. You don't fix problems by making more problems.
