      Bizarre new thing where ppl demand I respond to their 'feminsim is great & if u dissagree, u suck!' with a peer-reviewed academic essay.

      My little meme things & longer essays are insufficient responses to someone tweeting their opinion because they're only my own opinion.

      They've managed to rationalise putting there fingers in their ears for anything other than an academic paper. At first glance, ->

      it seems like an effective fortification. Only academic ammo can penetrate their armour. However, there is a downside.

      One an academic armour-piercing round *does* penetrate, the effects might be devastating. The armour is hard, but also brittle. 😐

      They're not remotely sincere, Ben. They just want to dismiss my argument rather than looking at it. They refer me to the dictionary.

      Huh? We're at cross-purposes. I'm saying they only claim my arguments need to be academic papers so they don't have to address them.

      Yes, agreed. My point is that if you *are* able (or are patient enough) to throw them academic papers, it should have an effect.

      I haven't written any academic papers criticising feminism. They wouldn't get published.

          If he's an academic, he should know that you can't proscribe terms in academia. You can only describe what you mean by them.

          Or I can cite someone else. What I can't do is respond to their facile opinion which my more considered & evidenced pre-prepared one.

          Someone said feminism is just the aim for gender equality so I posted my meme thing refuting that. Disqualified coz citing myself.

          Got it. That's the tactic. I maintain that should you ever get your hands of something peer-reviewed that replicates your points->
