Real flashbacks to various pronoun struggle sessions in early Hexbear where an unusually high percentage of people with "serious concerns" shared a certain pronoun tag. 🤔
Tbh, in the back of my mind I was wondering how much of such a strong reaction against something like astrology in the OP comes from an unstated/unexamined/unconscious bias against some activities women engage in because they're "too emotional." It brings up the old patriarchal dichotomy of irrational women, rational men. I think that should be carefully examined in unpacking the topic of the original post.
This guy has just spent the better part of an hour mansplaining feminism to me, so I'd say you're on the money here.
I hope the original poster actually takes the time to read what anarcho_blinkenist said and actually reflects on his stance.
