Am going to try and address these as best I can in the order they're presented.
Naive etc, all par for the course. Feminist is a label that is self-applicable. If Valerie Solanas can be a feminist then so can I. I don't label as a feminist because of the former etc.
I'm not sure whether you're encouraging vigilante groups of men to go around. Men can and do confront other men. Relationships are complicated and nuanced - and many abusive relationships have a complexity that goes beyond putting on a pair of pants over your trousers, marching in and telling the man off. That's not traditional male culture per se, that's a deviation of a psychological norm between people.
Not all Nazis were terrible. If you view the world as 'goodies and baddies' then you get silly results.
I wasn't bullied by girls at school. I may have been bullied by boys in the way that boys are generally mean about everyone. I haven't really been bullied by anyone because I mostly don't care about what people say. If you don't care what people say, then you tend not to be bullied.
My savoir faire is fine, I worked as a drama teacher for a long time. You need a fair bit of savoir faire for that and I'm genuinely one of the most social people I know. I will happily chat the savoir faire off a donkey. Not sure where that leaves us.
Agreed that emotional/cognitive functioning is necessary for good decision making. Think there's far too much of the former and far too little of the latter in current society. What the Celtic Chameleon calls 'feelpinions' - and I think is the erroneous belief that many people have that when they feel like they're right, they might be. It's why I engage in discussion.
Think you went a bit Freud in the last bit - but I don't mind that, I think it's an overreach.
Based on my experience with the very mentally unwell, the problematic relationships are girls and their dads, plus men and their mothers. Chuck a few personality disorders into that and you've got one hell of a clusterfuck.
Of the animals that do want to fuck all the time, primates are pretty high up there. That is unfortunately the branch we're in - but I think sex (as a concept) is overrated and over talked about and there's significantly less interest in it overall than most people think.
Will go look up Jukes.
I would suggest racism is a natural preponderance to out group thinking based on obvious features like melanin. Human lack of intelligence has made that infinitely more complicated - but I don't think we can resolve it without setting up another out group.
Misogyny isn't a mental illness, but I would suggest it is a symptom of a wider malaise. This original article was about not fighting misogyny with misandry and calling it a win.
We need to move away from both. :o)
