I'd rather not take my chances if it means reinforcing the power dynamic between men and women.

Sounds fair enough. I mean, everyone's got someone out there so it doesn't really make sense to not be yourself when you're trying to find them.

What a shit movie.
Shit taste.

The point is that I mentioned a movie that a female director made on a budget of $24 million, grossing $43.2 million, with well known actors and a decent plot. A movie that is referenced in others movies and TV shows over 50 times since 1991, including Hot Fuzz.

Just because you don't like the movie doesn't mean it isn't half bad. Maybe you don't like female directors?

this sentence doesn't make any sense

i guess i have to post the definition again:

"Language device in which the real intent is concealed or contradicted by the literal meaning of words or a situation. Verbal irony, either spoken or written, arises from an awareness of contrast between what is and what ought to be. Dramatic irony, an incongruity in a theatrical work between what is expected and what occurs, depends on the structure of a play rather than its use of words, and it is often created by the audience's awareness of a fate in store for the characters that they themselves do not suspect."

when someone makes a claim, it's common to be asked for some evidence to support it. that isn't trolling and you were not being singled out. when you just say, "it would help if you just looked around", it shows that your argument is weak and that you may be trolling. there is no irony in anything zachary said being that all he asked was for some evidence to support your claim and he wasn't given any. please do not make me have to re-explain this

That's a fallacy. If he is seriously concerned about the social pressure that can cause women to give out their numbers to strangers, then he can read the works of Audre Lorde, Bell Hooks, Gloria Steinem, or any sjw on tumblr. "You must educate me!" is the cry of an over-privileged person that is merely looking to stick their foot through whatever evidence is presented, anyways.

there is no irony in anything zachary said

Except the part where called me a troll even though he was trolling.
And speaking of trolling, lmao @ you posting the theatre definition.

He's obviously not concerned because you haven't convinced him that he should be

"You must educate me!"

It's more about you defending an assertion that you made. If you're not interested in doing that then okay, but don't act shocked when people don't believe you.

I have no interest in convincing someone to be a decent human being (and I likely can't).

If someone asserts that Asians score the highest on SATs I don't needthem to "prove it" because I have fingers capable of Googling such information. "You haven't proven it, therefore it's false" is a basic fallacy.

It's almost laughable that if someone disagrees with you on this subject you don't consider them a decent human being.

That's not what I said. No one is going to go through the trouble of researching your own argument for you. You were just being dismissive.

Strawman. You can't vaguely say "disagree." He isn't just disagreeing; he's blatantly refusing to acknowledge and oft cited, extensively studied, and regularly reinforced social stigma. Couple that with his outright refusal to look into a woman's perspective on day to day interactions with men...Yeah, he's lacking criteria for decent human being status.

It is not even worth replying to him.

Though it is hilarious that he is claiming there was a fallacy (which never happened) after not providing evidence that back up any of his claims. He expects us to simply believe them because he said them.

Sometimes there are people who are happy living in their own little circlejerk world of misinformation and false truths.

Fallacy isn't a big word - it's only seven letters.

Yes, let me link to people's entire body of work.

He is trying to falsify a notion while not even bothering to look into himself. Only people in a position of privilege can do that. I have a strange feeling you don't actually know what privilege is. You're the person who said that "I'm half white so I half contribute to white supremacy" shit, right? Yeah, I'm not at all surprised by your output in this thread.

You keep using "disagree" in the loosest possible sense. You can't "disagree" on a social issue. You can ignore it's realities, which is what he (and I'm guessing you) are doing, but he isn't "disagreeing" in the sense that he came to a different conclusion that I did. That would require some kind of information gathering and he clearly hasn't done that (because he'd so easily prove himself wrong).

I'm going to lock this thread because it has become an attack on anyone posting in it by the OP.

To anyone making a thread that involves an open debate in the future, make sure you provide the information needed to continue the discussion.
