people who are clueless what is up.

that is why often i only step in to put out a fact, or challenge. and that is about it.

then the tag team becomes little but silly.

i agree with you. i do not put any effort to explaining feminism. there is no interest. i have no desire to waste my time. i can do that elsewhere, where it is more effective and useful

but, ultimately, i agree that sometimes, it is important to speak up. not engage. but speak up.

and some threads, meant only to start another fight, a thread of taunts of silliness, .... let it disappear, alone in the silliness.
