    Maybe, but just because our secularism may push islamists further into extremism we do not just introduce shariah law. Yes, there are legitimate issues where men draw the short stick, but there are the same for women. If you think the extremism of men is understandable then surely you also find the attitude of feminazis understandable because all your arguments apply to them in the same way. My opinion is simply that both extremes are wrong.
    I would think you would be sympathetic to islamists, with all the bitching you do about how british imperialism causing all thier problems.

    I didn't say an entire group is like that, you posted a video of a crazy member and I said he's crazy, what did you expect?
    Don't you realize that by posting the videos of the craziest members you're pushing me further into the feminist fringe?
    No, if I responded in such a manner that makes my opponant think I only attack the points I know I could win in while ignored those I cannot, while insulting my opponants language and calling his influences crazy, that would put cement upon your beliefs and push you to look for people who will actually listen to what you have to say.
    Considering that it is increasingly evident that the only people who will provide that willing ear are the sort of people that you have been recieving a guilt trip about since 1945, I would think you would be a bit more concerned where these people are going.

    So he basically lacks the means and the will to reach out to the other side, not a positive trait.
    One shared by the entire board and most of humanity.

    That's not exactly the argument though, the argument is more that video games contain sexist things to attract more people and then may make this sexism seem more normal for these people. Or at least that's the more sane part of the argument that has some merit to it.
    It would have merit if they didnt shoot whatever credibility they had in the foot by exhibiting a blatant ignorance of the gaming scene. A fault further exacerbated by cherrypicking content so blatantly that even I, ignorant, young and gullible as I am, could call BS upon first watching without it being explained to me.

    Being better than the worst does not inherently make you good. But being better than the rest lets you brag.
