(2,978 posts)I almost think that's why they're digging in more. When you've made derisive, ridiculing comments about the widespread sexual objectification and abuse of females and it's searchable on a database, you're dug in--you're invested. They've got such a long track record now of saying outrageous things that are Klan-worthy if said about African-Americans that I wonder if psychologically it'll ever be possible for them to own up to how entitled, blind, dismissive, and vicious they've been.
I appreciate your indefatigable attempts to nudge these folks to see reason. I never take the energy to try anymore, but I do jump in when I see them make comments about you reminiscent of the hateful comments made about 19th century feminists. They sound like men ridiculing women for public speaking in the late 1800s. It'd be funny if, as you say, the consequences of these attitudes weren't so dire.
