Reply #214: An honest discussion of misogyny? Fine. I'm all ears. [View All]

You, however are using the misogyny of individuals as an excuse to create stereotypes of large groups. I'm no longer ears.

I am not setting up straw men at all. I am objecting to what you ARE doing;
1) creating stereotypes to assign individual misogyny a systematic/inherent basis. This justifies overreacting and creating sweeping generalizations to explain individual boorish behavior. It has as much merit as creating stereotypes of motherhood by watching Brittney Spears.
2) implicitly if not explicitly arguing that the candidate who is the media/corporate darling and arguably the least progressive of our frontrunners deserves our support because the stereotypes you've developed are all conspiring to defeat her. Appeal to sympathy and victimhood.
3) straw man arguments. "You and some other posters here, responded as if I had." I'm not going to speak for anyone else, but if you're going to create a fantasy narrative, leave me out of it. I don't know how many ways I can say what I mean without it being substituted for something I'm not saying.
