Ordinarily, I might agree with you. After all, you're absolutely right about good faith discourse.

However, two things. One, I've butted heads with Remarkl before, so I'm already familiar with where their heads at, how they argue, etc.

Two, Remarkl said this:

"My point was that feminists wanted what men had and didn't want what men wanted them to want. A biologically a complementary relationship was about to become a socially competitive one."

This was said about 2nd wave feminism. Consider carefully what is being said here.

This whole gender war is the fault of feminists because women aren't happy with scraps (of the human experience) men allow them to have. It can't be any other way because men only want competitive relationships, not collaborative ones.

In my last article, Let's Talk About Love, I set the stage for emotional ambivalence men feel toward women and reviewed the meanings of love and how we think of love.

Looking at Remarkl's statement above, does it signal love or does it signal hate.

Too often, when the word complimentarianism is usedz mostly thanks to Evangelicalism and other Christian fundamentalist faith traditions, it IS a gaslight, a cover, and an excuse for oppression.
