I did indeed.... University in fact, I have a BSc in Psychology and Drama where I specialised in the social development of children and Restoration female playwrights after Aphra Behn. Did a banging dissertation about Mary Pix and Susanna Centlivre, thanks for asking. More than happy to read any women's history you have for me - if you'd care to link some.

Don't mistake disagreement for a lack of thought - that's a basic error that suggests you have ALL the information and have done the BEST thinking. I doubt you do, and I doubt you have. If you had, you wouldn't make such a flippant comment with a sort of languid superiority.... because, what you've done here, is beautifully demonstrated to other readers exactly the point I'm making.

And no, I don't hate women. Or men. Or anyone really. But that doesn't mean I have to agree with everything said by someone based on their genitals. Equality means I give equal weighting to what people have to say and consider it on merit alone. At the moment, feminism is wandering blindly into misandry territory and validating the unfair bullshit being thrown at it by Andrew Tate et al. It's a stupid plan - and I have zero qualms about pointing that out.
