There's just something about the fact that the primary participants in an argument about feminism are men.

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.

I think I probably mis-read some of what you meant in your comment...which is one of the shortcomings of netcommunication.

And I do believe you have a grasp.

Thanks! I must confess, I clicked "Post Reply" when I thought I was clicking "Preview"... I'd meant to add a section where I apologized for causing confusion. I hope that someone hits the original offenders with a cluebat soon.

Heh. You're quick; I go in the closet, I come back out of the closet and you've already replied.

And I'm staying out of the arguement; I got into a thing with one of the participants a few months back about something not related to feminism and decided he was stubborn and block-headed and therefore not worth my time.
