I would have to agree. Men are always up the asses of news and politics, getting their biased information and running around spreading it as if they knee everything.
Women often times only advocate when it's a subject they're passionate about. Unemployment? Meh, I'll see a man in the comment section blaming politicians and using crappy biased articles.
Abortion? Women will be up all over that. So will men.
Foreign Relations? Meh, I'll see a man blaming democrats or republicans for something.
Healthcare? Women will be on that immediately.
You see my point. It just seems like men just have to stick their nose in everything and be right about it. Women, they kind of only have interest if they're passionate about it. Otherwise, they might not put much effort into it. But I guess I'd rather have a woman discussing politics and policies with me than a man arguing over who's right because this biased news article says so.
[spoiler]We could get into the topic about how women aren't as pushed into political science as opposed to men, such as with STEM, but if rather not tbh.[/spoiler]

You sound sexist.

I want to agree with you...except for the part where the study is basing it on have the "correct" answer between men and women.

[quote]Disclaimer: Not [b][i]all[/i][/b] men and women. I don't understand why I gotta be so specific sometimes.[/quote] Didn’t you once throw a fit because I [u]wasn’t specific[/u] enough on a political thread? Now you are complaining about having to be specific?

I replied about the stupid "liberals want to repress freedom of speech" argument, asking a broad question and explaining how it's dumb. You proceeded to break almost every sentence I said up and respond the same thing without elaborating several times, and criticizing me for not reading properly because you claimed you were not [i]blaming all liberals[/i]. When I responded I used your own words against you to show how childish you were acting and how your random accusations towards me, were actually describing you. So no, you're taking something out of context and trying to discredit a small part of my reply through something tiny and miniscule. The only reason I did bitch at you for not being specific, was because [i]you[/i] weren't but you criticized me because I should've been. It was a lesson in "practice what you preech" and "read what you write carefully" since you were being hypocritical.

Actually, I was talking about a different post.
-
We have only "talked" on 3 posts and those 2 other posts have nothing to do with me criticizing you for not being specific. So glad you followed this up with "actually I was talking about another" but fail to actually bring it up or mention it.

[quote]Disclaimer: Not [b][i]all[/i][/b] men and women. I don't understand why I gotta be so specific sometimes.[/quote] You can thank pc culture for that. Sjws are the reason why everyone right or left has to articulate to a mother-blam!-ing T! If you don’t go down the list to virtual signal that you’re not bigoted or fascist in any fashion it’s just going to be assumed that you are.

I chalk it up as a misunderstanding. The way I was raised I'm not implying nor do I mean all when I just say the specific group. If I were to say conservatives, I'm talking about a group of conservatives, not all of them. As to someone else, when I say conservatives they think I'm implying [i]all[/i] conservatives. But honestly, when it comes to b.net, most users try to use it as leverage to discredit someone. They're definitely not being politically correct since they will literally say every slur in the book when arguing what I implied. In this case, these two users misunderstood me but instead of trying to discredit my statements they said "hey, I get what you mean, but try to say this instead." Not "DID YOU IMPLY ALL MEN! I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW YOUR STATEMENT IS WRONG BECAUSE I CAN CLAIM I'VE NEVER DONE IT!"

[quote]I don't understand why I gotta be so specific sometimes.[/quote] People with 10 foot poles stuck up their bums try very hard to misconstrue statements on a daily basis.

Like the users below gave constructive criticism, but some users demand I be incredibly specific or they will only attack that part of my whole argument and say "Well you didn't say it but you implied it!" or they'll try and twist my words and claim to know what I said even though I repeat myself over and over telling them otherwise. I will even bring up the whole "is that all you took from my argument?" And they'll ignore it. Pft, then users whine and say I'm hostile yet they purposely try and get me on my bad side.

Oh yeah, I've noticed this a lot, especially in topics that are related to Biology and Psychology in this forum. At this point, I'll post the sources and stuff related to the OP once, and if someone tries to misconstrue it, or say that their opinion is more important than fact, I try not to respond to those people. Those types of people willingly decide to stay in the dark, and I don't blame them. Complicated stuff is pretty scary. A lot of people in here want others to be non-PC, but the second you do what they ask you to do, they get really offended by it. It's weird, since they asked others to be straightforward with them. I'm in the same boat as you, since at this point, I don't really give a damn about their feelings towards what I post; they're most likely to ignore it, or not even read past the first word of the first sentence before firing off.

[quote][quote]biased[/quote] You’d know a lot about that.[/quote] I know that when I search for sources I find information that provides details and/or disproves stupid ideas, myths, and opinions of my opponent instead of searching "Abortion is bad" and linking the first YouTube video and brietbart opinion article I can find. So yeah, I do know about biased sources.

I disagree. I know nothing of politics

You must be protected from the cancer that which is politics

Very protected

Speaking from a male perspective, I try to stay up to date on current events so I know what’s going on out in the world, not really to argue or hold it over anyone’s head. You may want to avoid saying “all men act/say/believe this” in the future, it retracts from your core message.

Women are the majority of single issue voters.

Don't assume that all men do this. I'm just one, so I can't really prove much, but I don't give a shit about politics.

Good point
