You seem like such a cool person! :la: I was just entranced by your debates on all of these feminism stamps. Really, the boys in my Race Gender Culture class just sit there and take all of the inequality women have faced and I kind of feel bad for them since they're basically being yelled at by the films for 45 minutes every school day, but you're taking the knowledge and applying it and supporting what those films and websites are advocating. 

You're so awesome! 
Umm... thank you?
(It'd be kind of.. massively disrespectful & stupid of me to ignore that the majority of my friends are female & suffer uncalled-for bullshit on pretty much a daily basis.)
But I'm not so certain I should be considered "awesome" solely for being a decent human being.
(Or, well, trying to be.)

But yeah, with any luck the next generation takes fewer of the lessons previous ones got & more of the "Hey, people are people and people are equal and that's about it & stop being dicks to each other based on superficial or otherwise-irrelevant traits" kinda thing.

[Bit late replying because I haven't used dA in ages.]
I just came across your debate with the members on this stamp:
[link] Just wanted to say well done.
Thank you?
(I'm always a bit confused when I receive random approval for doing things I think people should do anyway, but yes, thank you.)
Haha, I understand. It's just that not many people can handle situations like this. I've had my own share of disputes with antifeminists, and I wish I could have made my points as well as you did.
I'm sure others could have said it better.
(I can be prone to being overly aggressive in my arguments and not properly engaging the other/s involved.)

It's also a struggle because the only explanation for being anti-feminist that I see is (A) Overwhelming ignorance as to what that entails, or (B) Deliberate opposition to equality.
So I have to try hard to not call the other party idiots or assholes, or both.

Ultimately it boils down to trying to remember that other people don't have the same perspective or understanding, & have probably been misinformed or have misinterpreted something somewhere.
So, y'know, case of exercising logical argument backed up with as much factual evidence as possible in combination with trying to empathise & frame it in such a way that the intended recipient can actually see the point/s.

As previously mentioned, I don't always succeed.. but even one person having learned something is a victory.
