Well, I haven't seen the argument, and I was trying to be sarcastic-funny, so maybe I missed a little.
I thought you were talking about two people taking opposite sides of a point having to do with feminist theory of some sort, and there's no reason those couldn't both be men. I certainly agree that people can try to invalidate the experiences of others sometime, but I don't think that every nuance of feminism is rooted in the experience of being female. I consider myself a firm believer in feminism, and I think I've got a tolerably solid grasp of some of the basics.
