why oh why did i click ultie's link? the comments are more rabid than the next.
also, the rant included is exactly the reason why i have a problem with tone. the ideas in it are all sound, except for the first one that shuts down dialogue (big no-no). the tone however is pure ammo for misogynists and mra's. as if women didn't have enough problems, the op has to be overly antagonistic. that means that someone will see "dear men, stfu", pull a tl;dr and rage against rabid radfems feminists women in general.
that's not how dialogue works. those are great ideas that could expand the dialogue and get shit done (once again, except the first idea). instead, it will (and has, judging by the comments) boil down to name calling. getting nowhere. again.
cue me getting called out (again) for criticizing tone. we're working with written media. leave the anger behind the keyboard. ideas exposed in a calm and collected manner go farther, and if writing is not the tool of choice for choosing the right words, i don't know what is. leave the fire and brimstone to the preachers, but write down the ideas in the most efficient way, please.
