False Equivalency #1: Logic and feelings are both just as biased.

“I feel bad therefore what he said was bad” is not in the same ballpark as “2+2=4". Logic is merely a tool that can be used to discover some kinds of truths and falsehoods. If you think your emotional responses are on the same level as objective reality — that your feelings outweigh anyone else’s factual experiences — you are simply an entitled narcissistic.

False Equivalency #2: Merely responding is whining.

If you say stupid shit on the internet you shouldn’t be surprised when someone calls you out on it. If my entire post was “whining and complaining” then where does that put you?

  • You can’t complete an entire paragraph without injecting a non-sequitur ad-hominem. At least try some grownup insults.
  • Unable to actually debunk anything I said, you resort to mischaracterizing my statements and attacking straw men. A truly original strategy, Comrade.
  • Besides, what’s wrong with whining and complaining? When privileged female feminists do it it’s called “empowerment!” Are you trying to shame a more feminine manner of addressing an issue? If you ever need to find another misogynist demon to slay, try taking a selfie. 😉

I never claimed to be Very Smart or any kind of debater. I’m not sure why you needed to wank your e-peen in front of me either. If my satire and lack of funny bone and stupidity are so evident, wouldn’t it be obvious? Why are you trying so hard to prove yourself as better than me? Who are you trying to convince here?
