Where in my posts in the first page does my bias come through?
Dragging the stereotypes associated with my gender into the discussion is not going to make it better in any way, shape or form, even if mentioned facetiously or whatever.Now, you are starting to sound like the stereotypical irrational/emotional woman, incapable of arguing based on logic and reason. Not only are you partially quoting my statements, it's obvious you're completely missing the point of what I'm saying in a few of them. You were somehow trying to prove me wrong on a point that I was agreeing with you on.
Which points did I miss?
Fair enough, but again: I am not taking her side. I was not taking anybody's side. HDBadger was the one who said that I was taking her side, based solely on the fact that I, like her, am a woman. See below.I don't think what he said could be less sexist. He noticed your bias and assumed it was because you're a woman because it is common, among men and women, to take up for their gender in a situation. Not knowing your background, he assumed this common behavior was the reason.
I'm going to quote HDBadger directly: Speaks for itself, see how personal to me he was... it was already set in his mind that "all the women" here would side up with the OP, so he read my post and without bothering to actually understand it, he assumed I was siding with her AND that nothing he would say would make me change my mind, no matter how reasonable.In any event, him saying you took her side because you're a woman is personal to you. He didn't say, all woman always take all women's side because they're women. He said that because the OP is a woman, you are taking her side. Big difference, and again you're twisting words to hear what you want to hear..another symptom of the stereotypical irrational/emotional woman, incapable of arguing based on logic and reason.
Again, using stereotypes against my gender to try and make me look bad is not cool, no matter how pretty you word it.
I don't know what happened with the OP and her ex, but some people can actually manipulate other people into doing things they are uncomfortable with, so it is possible that it happened to her. It's a possibility, that's all.OP didn't say she was abused. She said he was "mind game-y". I don't see how someone forces/guilts someone with their mind, unless the other person doesn't want to in the first place.
I don't think I've ever said something was sexist when it actually wasn't, on this forum. It's possible that it wasn't the intention of who said it for it to be sexist, but that doesn't mean the thing itself wasn't sexist.As far as everything being sexist, I meant that as a general statement, since you bring it up all the time. Even when there is nothing.
