					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://unwinnable.com/2013/04/23/breasts-and-books-the-knowledge-of-charmed/#comment-61366&quot;&gt;@RowanKaiser&lt;/a&gt;.

I will admit to you that my opening statement, perhaps, does something that I never intended (apparently, as you have informed me, provide grounds for an MRA argument).  Because of this, I wish I hadn&#039;t written it quite this way, but I could not have predicted that you or anyone else would have been disposed to view my statement in a way that I myself did not view it.  I&#039;m sorry to you and your caps lock button for any trouble this caused. 
 
I know this sounds irrational since this is the internet, where scum and slander abound, but I was actually kind of hurt that someone I respect dealt with me and my argument the way you did.  You didn&#039;t even try to understand what I said, and you, definitely, didn&#039;t respond in a way that was constructive even had I espoused misogynistic views, which I still hold cannot be drawn from my comment in its entirety.  I would personally be ashamed to have said anything truly misogynistic, and I will be extremely considerate in the future when approaching the type of rhetorical territory that I tromped through in my initial comment. 
 
FInally, although I&#039;m confident enough in myself, my ability to think critically, and my ability to communicate my ideas in writing to have no need of defending my merits as a writer, human being, or intellectual to you, I would encourage you, especially as someone who young college students like me look up to, not to make personal attacks on people who are, at least, trying to talk about what they think while seeking to gather opinions.  Why did you come at me with a mace instead of helping me understand if you thought I was so wrong?  I openly asked for the thoughts of others.  You offered nothing but your boot.  Considering who you are, I felt crushed by your response.  You completely trampled a chance to enlighten someone who respected you and, maybe, just needed a little help with the way he was couching his ideas.   
 
I doubt you care how a no good, antagonistic, misogynist, pseudo intellectual thinks or feels, but here it is all the same. ]]></description>

sure, most of the time I will, but this time, I went all-in on &#034;Men&#039;s Rights Activist trying to concern troll his way through the issue,&#034; which calls for stridency. Minor chance I was wrong, in which case, I might have offended someone who expresses perhaps accidentally misogynistic arguments through antagonistic piles of verbiage. In which case...darn. ]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Here&#039;s another important internet tip: when you start throwing around all caps you come off like sort of a tool, even when you&#039;re right. 
 
Rowan, I agree with you more often than I don&#039;t. But adopting &#034;strident&#034; as a default tone makes it feel like you&#039;re trying to pick a fight. Maybe shoot for &#034;calmly explaining&#034; before the all caps foot-stomping. It probably won&#039;t work, but it&#039;s worth a shot. ]]></description>
