Seems like there’s some feminists or some 6′5 men with a superiority complex around.
Well, I am 6′7, without a superiority complex of course. That’s not why I downvoted you, though, and since you asked for an explanation:
I’m reading the comments and looking for some new ammo for my next fight in the gender wars.
That’s not the kind of approach (arguments as soldiers) we’re looking for in a rationality forum. One of the prequisites is a willingness to change your mind, which seems to be setting the bar too high for some people.
I’ll point you to question #4 of my original post:
Have you ever felt those gender wars to be silly?
And then, this, which Kawoomba also quoted:
P//S//A//III: I’m reading the comments and looking for some new ammo for my next fight in the gender wars.
I’ve made the implication that I think the gender wars are silly. After that, If the gender wars are silly, why would I be reading the comments and reloading my guns (ohhh, puns!) in the first place?
Can’t you see how idiotic that is? You’re free to call me an idiot, and I don’t really care. But at the same time I also hope you make an update and understand that not everything should be taken literally. I could give you the story as to how I came to a conclusion about properly updating but that’s:
A. a short one so we can do it with a PM (I’ll post it publicly if you want to—more powe.. er, downvotes to me!)
B. Not very relevant to the current discussion, although it can be Yet Another Reason #24214 on why updating (and communicating) is important.

This is silly. How can you take such a thing seriously?
Can you point out anything specific that’s wrong with it, or is this just a “that’s not something I’m used to” reaction?
