You never know when it's gonna happen but wow, this post sure did trigger this fella. I guess that means you are doing a good job Papa, at providing thought provoking content.

I suppose dismissing my salient points by saying I'm "triggered" makes the unpalatable easier to ignore.
I think you erred first by dismissing @papa-pepper's salient points in favor of post modern rhetoric.
But I didn't read every word past your first comment. I suggest figuring out a way to make more suscinct comments and author your own Response Post if the discussion is worth such lengthy comments.
In other words, you aren't open to points that require more than a few lines of effort to convey?
Papa's writing is a recipe for codependency in relationships and bad marriages. If you have to be told to sacrifice, something is already wrong.
Yours is not an adequate rebuttal.

"post modern rhetoric"
If you'd read any further, you'd have seen my whole argument was based on a list of facts you'll find near impossible to refute. But, it's easier to just dismiss it as rhetoric without actually responding to the arguments, isn't it?

I see you still havent written a post about it.
So it is irrefutably clear that you don't care to make an argument that can be analyzed and examined. You just want to waste peoples' time as they read a rediculously long comment. Plus another overly long comment. Then another. And then you can say arrogantly stupid stuff like: WE BOTH KNOW MY ARGUMENT IS ROCK SOLID AND IRREFUTABLE. But you win...you have gotten me to respond to your idiocy. So you win. Pat yourself on the back and have yourself a beer. Or bourbon. Or Diet coke. And have a great weekend.
Your head must be nearly exploding with the cognitive dissonance you're holding in.
"So it is irrefutably clear that you don't care to make an argument that can be analyzed and examined. "
Yeah, if only I had written an argument somewhere. Maybe one that included a bunch of facts that can't be refuted (since they are public record in the court system).
"read a rediculously long comment."
Gee, do you think maybe a long comment could contain "an argument that can be analyzed and examined"?
"I see you still havent written a post about it."
What are you, my editor? I don't take orders from you.
Care to respond to male/female sentencing? Care to respond to alimony? Care to respond to female draft immunity? Care to respond to even one of my concrete, citeable, so-obvious-it's-stipulated-to-by-anyone-in-the-field facts?
Even if my comments weren't providing copious evidence you completely ignored, this would still be you:
"Argument from silence (argumentum ex silentio) – a fallacy where the conclusion is based on the absence of evidence, rather than the existence of evidence."
+1% for having a great weekend. You too.
No, I read every single word of it and broke it down to a tiny synopsis. Triggered.
No, what you did is exactly what I'd expect a person who desires to preserve their unfair privilege to do when confronted with information that highlighted their privilege:
"argumentum ad hominem, is where an argument is rebutted by attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself."
We both know if you attacked the substance of my argument, you would lose, and be publicly embarrassed. Better to attack the messenger, if one is more concerned with winning at all costs than being honest.

The effort in which you put into this is admirable. I, on the other hand am lazy when it comes to arguing. It's usually not worth my effort, as in this case.
"The effort in which you put into this is admirable."
Thank you. It's not like I'm doing this for me. I hope this doesn't look fun to anyone.
"I, on the other hand am lazy when it comes to arguing."
Fair enough. I would accept a one line response to a factual claim I made that could actually be debated. I'm not looking for a research paper.
"It's usually not worth my effort, as in this case."
....and we're back to ad hominem.
I can't imagine debating with you is ever worth the effort, though I sacrificed some of my time to address you on the assumption you might not be a troll. You clearly have no interest in learning or the facts.
You're just here for the fleeting rush of endorphins that come from ranting at someone you perceive to be attacking your identity politics block on the internet. By golly, it feels good to punish that misogynist for stating those facts that I don't like! Facts that give me feelings I don't like must be wrong! I will rant at them and I will feel better!
I should know, I've done it too. After all, we are all only human, but we can learn to recognize and control our biases.
It's amazing, you can actually scan someone's brain during this effect and see it happening in real time as pleasure centers of the brain light up. Why do you think all mainstream media has completely forsaken actual facts and reason? Outrage pays and "feels" better to the audience. Learning and changing our opinions and ego-relevant views is hard!
You should take a lesson from how your host in this thread engages in discourse, to the very same comment you were unable to generate a civil response to.
“Your assumptions are your windows on the world. Scrub them off every once in a while, or the light won't come in.”

Good day. Hit me up when you get tired of sitting in the dark. I'll still be here, not impugning your character for highlighting facts of public record.
This is all quite amazing. The fact that you edited this response 13, yes 13 times, to get it just right speaks directly to my previous word usage, admirable. (I apologize for the incomplete picture, I couldn't capture all of the edits on one screen.)
So when I say I'm too lazy to argue, it's true. I like to sit back, take it allllllll in and then break it down to it's basic elements. In your case I stand by my initial assessment that you have certainly been "triggered".
I think my favorite part of all this is that you have no idea where I stand. For you never took the time or effort to ask before launching into schooling me. For all you know, I could agree wholeheartedly with you, or not.
I don't know about the endorphins, but you have given me more than a fair share of laughter, as I could hardly classify my meager responses as a "rant". I feel it is a title for which I haven't earned. But hey, it was free, so I'll take it.
I haven't the desire to trade fisticuffs with a social justice warrior today. I'm a retired lady of leisure that prefers to sit on my beautiful blue chair out in the woods and read. Today will be one of my favorite authors, Isaac Asimov.
