      More IOW, I’m not sure the distinction between conditioned and volitional is always meaningful. A deeply conditioned desire is one’s volition.

      Yes, changing the subject to it would effectively end meaningful conversation on the point of women's choices & take us into philosophical meanderings on the nature of free will & how we can only think within the confines of language & culture so I'm not going to do that.

      That “we can only think within the confines of language & culture” is also most certainly not my point. You are way off base here. But it does touch on nature of free will, which seems pretty relevant to a discussion about choices, don’t you think?

      Potentially, yes, but not this one so I will choose not to follow this line of thinking, but thank you.

      That’s fine. I maintain that you’ve badly misinterpreted my point here if you think I’m somehow disputing your thesis. My contention is that there’s a fundamental confusion in the critique you’re responding to. But no hard feelings.

      I don't know exactly where you are going but it's not where I want to go. I am struggling with Twitter at the moment coz ppl naturally take conversations off in ways that interest them & I feel like I have to respond to all when I shld just only respond to ones going where I am

          That’s fine, you’re obv not obligated to read, respond, or agree with me. But I think the argument you’ve made against me misses the point I’m actually making. We can leave it at that.

          (If you like.) And admittedly my point is a bit of a digression. One that I found relevant. I suppose you disagree.

          Absolutely relevant & interesting. Just not to me right now. As I said, I need to stop feeling like I have to answer everything & just go with the comments which do apply to what I am thinking thru at the time. Telling ppl I don't want to talk about that bit rn just annoys.

          I usually just 'like' tangential tweets that I don't want to follow, or comment vaguely on them then move on (I haven't read this particular exchange in-depth ftr).

          Yes, I need to find a method for this. I am annoying ppl by telling them directly that I don't want to go down that route right now coz I am thinking on a different level/category which is honest, but seems to feel to ppl like I'm blaming them for thinking in that direction!

          I feel like I'm explaining that I'm not ignoring them because I disagree or because I don't want to acknowledge that but just because I really want to develop a thought a different way which should be better but its not coming across that way. My social skills are not strong.

          I did take the QT as criticism of my argument as bad (which I obv disagree with) rather than an indication you simply don’t want to go there. I prob would have responded better to a frank declaration that you’re not interested in that discussion, FWIW.

          Ah! Quote tweeting. I get your irritation now. I've had this before when I quote tweet and have considered not doing it any more or at least starting with something which indicates it is not hostile.
