Philosophy training is about learning to comprehend arguments simple and complex, semantically and structurally. It gives you the means of knowing that an argument is bad, and why an argument is bad.

0	CNN leads college rape article with woman who claims to have been raped by boyfriend of three years after breaking up who 'pressured her.' To believe that all ideas are somehow both justifiable and defensible shows both a lack of social experience and a fear of being wrong. "All ideas"? Who the hell said that? I certainly didn't. You're just saying that you're right, because you said so. I didn't say that either. You're just seeing whatever you want to see, aren't you? You know, it's just polite to try to understand what your conversation partner has actually said before responding. It would certainly save us a lot of time.	/r/MensRights	10/02/14 07:59 AM

Who says I think that? I think logic and facts make people right or wrong. You think the fact that a string of words comes out of your mouth makes you right. For instance: It must hurt to hear that your glorious PETA actually kills more animals than they save, huh? I haven't said a word about PETA despite your provocations. But it's "my glorious PETA," is it? Your willingness to believe whatever you damn well please is impressive. That PETA sid…	/r/MensRights	10/02/14 07:54 AM

Yours might be the most severe case of projection I've ever come across on the internet, and that's saying something.

I'm not omniscient, therefor I should not post? Well neither are you. So by your own logic: stop posting. God you're stupid. My argument isn't about "omniscience;" it isn't even about certainty over any single point.

I'm sorry, is that your incredibly unjustified and roundabout way of admitting that you have, in fact, been completely off-base at every turn of this thread? Oh, and you know what's arrogant? Not being able to acknowledge it when you're just plain wrong. Also, it's pretty damn arrogant to believe in some simplistic idea about why presumably millions of people you obviously know nothing about ("SJWs") do what they do.	/r/MensRights	10/02/14 12:55 AM

No, I wouldn't be fine with that minor hedge, for virtually the same obvious reason. Stop arguing over semantics, its stupid and contributes little to nothing in a discussion. It's funny how you conflate "arguing over semantics" with arguing about a fact of the matter. And what exactly do you think your comment contributed to the discussion?

The only thing they care about when talking about rape, is how they'll be viewed in their circle of SJW's. They don't actually care about the victim. The victim exists to make them look good when they claim to care. You have no idea what drives "every single SJW"—first and foremost because there is no one thing that does. I seriously wonder how you can post that before something in your brain tells you that the whole thought is inane and indefensible.	/r/MensRights	09/02/14 10:37 PM

But I just don't see the incentive, let alone an actual tendency, for a company's managers to pay less to women qua women. For one thing, they'd be asking for a terrible morale problem, since employees talk to each other, which would cost the company dearly. For another, the sexism that does exist doesn't necessarily produce harmful outcomes for women; it often ben…	/r/MensRights	29/01/14 04:09 AM
11	This double standard on "Pro-Choice" has always bugged me I'm sure MRAs will be there to remind her that all social ills can be traced by to fatherless children. What a bizarre presumption. Advocating letting boys be boys has nothing to do with the genders of the parents or the presence of a father, and that still wouldn't be a prescription for "all social ills." Just bizarre.	/r/MensRights	26/01/14 02:12 AM

-2	Feminism's Pyrrhic victory: why we're all losing It would be a fallacy if I said her argument relevant to MRM is wrong because her reasoning in other areas is crap. In fact, I said she has done something that calls into deep question her abilities as a thinker more generally, and I also posed the question as to why the MRM gets into bed with quacked-out voices: I understand the extreme right's flirtations with the MRM, but it's the flirtation back that I don't get.

-2	Feminism's Pyrrhic victory: why we're all losing My point is that she's crazy. She can call herself a Democrat all she likes. Doesn't change the fact that her stated positions align much more closely with the right. It's not a weakness of my position that she's addled; it's the whole point.

Paglia calls herself a "dissident feminist," so whatever clean disassociations you think can be made between that which is right-wing and that which is feminist would be unreliable even if they were real (which they aren't). Regarding where she actually falls on the spectrum, it seems foolish to attempt to make sense of crazy. But I can point out the crazy.

-4	Feminism's Pyrrhic victory: why we're all losing I'm not dismissing every specific thing she has to say. I'm pointing out that she's inclined to foolishness. Doesn't mean she doesn't get some things right. Edit: Actually, "inclined to foolishness" is too weak of a characterization, because she is inclined not only to disbelieve something that's plainly true—empirically demonstrated up the wazoo—but to cast those who do believe in said thing as mental incompetents themselves. She exhibits a special, aggressive form of detachment from reality.	/r/MensRights	29/12/13 11:38 PM
-5	Feminism's Pyrrhic victory: why we're all losing Paglia characterizes a belief in global warming as "religious dogma." It's a quick way to reveal oneself as an incurious mental incompetent.

1	Had a facebook discussion surrounding men's rights. It went just about the way you'd expect. Where "feminism" ignores facts, or denies logic, it's wrong. When its ideals make arbitrary exceptions for one class over another, it's wrong. This was the disease it fought against in the first place, after all. So by upholding that, you're more of a "feminist" than those supposed gender loyalists. I used to be a card-carrying feminist because I had been fed quite a few falsehoods about where things really stand. Turns out the stats tell a very different story than the feminist narrative.

It's not immediately clear what your first sentence is responding to. Are you trying to say that bias "absolutely is" a relative term despite it's clear dictionary definition? Your comment doesn't really dispute that there's a fact of the matter about bias anyway; it just states your belief that people have a hard time determining what it is.
