      Increasingly often, I turn down conversations because they are the very basic roots of an issue that has developed branches and twigs and buds and I left the roots a long time ago and don't want to go back there. Sometimes, people get annoyed with me about this.

      But if I started questioning, say feminism, 8 years ago & had arguments about its worth & then moved into a better understanding of its branches & settled on 1 I am most concerned about & had arguments about that, and then narrowed in on specific issues & had arguments abt those

      I'm not often going to want to go back to beginning & have very basic discussion about worth of feminism with someone who hasn't yet understood its branches & issues. This isn't condescending. We're just in different places here & they're prob way ahead of me on something else.

      There is no point in getting annoyed with me & insisting I engage your argument because I said something about feminism. It's not that I expect you to take my word for it without an explanation and evidence. You absolutely shouldn't. It's that I can't be bothered to do that again

          You are dead right to say something like 'That which is asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence.' I accept that the person making a claim has the responsibility to support with evidence & argument *if they want to have their claim taken seriously*

          But if I'm talking about a very specific issue within a very specific branch of feminism in relation to something that just happened, I might not want to discuss the correct definition of feminism or care if you won't take the argument I am making seriously unless I do.

          So, if I say something like 'I had this conversation 100s of times a few years ago & don't have any interest in revisiting it,' please accept that I mean exactly that and not 'I won't engage with your argument coz I don't have an answer or think you should just trust me on this'
