Several points to make about that.
You aren't American, but slim cognito is, so I took "coming for your daughters" as I'm fairly certain it was intended, based on the context, as they'll be doing stupid shit and making stupid laws that only apply to the womenfolk, because they're too inept to think for themselves. You're the only one who mentioned dragging anyone anywhere. I'm sure she'll correct me if I took it (not in the literal, physical sense of taking) wrong.
You're a male, so you have no actual experience of what women deal with daily simply because of our gender. Legal, financial, employment, etc. It pervades our lives and women and POC are the fist to feel the pinch of any stupid shit they want to rain down on us. Man or bear isn't just a meme.
You have no children so what makes you feel you can speak for those who have daughters and sons who will be affected directly by stupid laws? Empathy in the abstract is one thing, but it just hits (not in the literal, physical sense of being hit) different when you are considering your own child. They absolutely are "coming for our daughters" already. Can you think of one single law that applies only to men?
As for the rest of it.....
Um. I have gone over all that crap with a magnifying glass and at no point did you actually say where, and how, or where "they" are coming for your daughters, right now or ever. All you put out there were bullshit distractions and gish galloping. Therefore, I have to conclude that you were blowing out your ass.
Ok. I lied. I don't own a magnifying glass. Mea Culpa.
If you want to use social media/Trumpian methods of distracting from the fact that you are avoiding answering the question, well feel free. But they don't work on on people who spot what you are doing. Or who don't have a massive ego which would put them in danger of being distracted by the stupid insults of intellectual minnows. <-- Now that's an insult.
And sorry to those people who were fooled into thinking you "destroyed" me, but you didn't.
Sorry Francis, but I'm sick to death of tiptoing around everyone's feelings when you freely tap-dance on mine. You want to play with me when I am not keeping quiet for the good of the forum and just absorbing your stupid insults, then I can oblige you.
Your next move will be to say "well what do you say to what what I said about.. " to which i will say "you didn't answer the question and are still trying to distract away from the fact you are avoiding answering it." There, I saved you some typing.
You will likely THEN say "hah you are avoiding dealing with what I told you which means you know its true" and I will say "you still didn't answer the question and are distracting from the fact you were blowing out your ass." So ya, I just saved us all a page of back and forth.
Of course you will probably just make up something that I supposedly said and put quote marks around it. Again. So I'll just quote you "I am a silly meany head."
So, keep sitting there pretending you blocked me and that I don't matter. And avoiding answering the question because we both know "they" haven't come for anyone.
Sorry Foggy. Sometimes you just gotta unfurl your claws and scatter the hyenas for your own self respect.
