Gee fellas I'm starting to wonder if maybe feminists are just hateful psychopaths or something

And in all three cases they don't say he's wrong or lying, they just get angry.

Anecdotal evidence that feminism appeals most to dysfunctional women. I knew a woman who was entirely mainstream but tolerably based, and I had regular 2nd hand exposure to her social media algorithms.

She got a terrible ear/sinus infection and spent a couple weeks sleep deprived and doped up on opiates, crying and bursts of anger over nothing were frequent. By the end of it the feminist deranged rant and inter woman bitchfighting content she was being served had increased tenfold, because that's what she had suddenly started engaging with once her mental faculties were impaired and her self-control had slid all the way down to the "emotionally unstable wreck" setting.

All cults prey on the weak and vulnerable. That's what makes them cults. The people who run them are excellent at the "discover weakness -> love bomb -> isolate -> indoctrinate" technique. If you're desperate enough and they smell it, you're pretty much fucked.

The biggest insult you can give to a woman is to ignore them. Drives them insane

When arguing with a woman you have to adopt a more formal way of communicating because if you choose your words poorly and leave any ambiguity the woman will attempt to take what you say in the worst possible context to attack you instead of your argument.

Speaking eloquently does give you an intellectual high ground. It just isn't the only high ground available, sometimes you can win arguments with the absolutely trashiest English ever just by making jokes such that the audience find your opponent stuffy in comparison, as well as many other rhetorical options.

Let's also not pretend that debate tactics, dishonest or otherwise, are only by men either, being that she immediately utilized the assumed sisterhood cliche in her second post.

Some people also tend to say the most retarded things in a very eloquent way, while others state basic truths with a poor vocabulary. Sounding intellectual doesn't make you intelligent.

Definitely, but you can bamboozle even stupider people and win arguments with it.

Did you just try and womansplain mansplaining?

Have you thought that it's probably for your benefit that someone chose eloquence over "Listen here fucker..."

For the love of all that is holy, they'll weaponize being nice to them.

I just realized from your comment that every attempt to call a guy out for "mansplaining" is a form of womansplaining in and of itself.

It's nothing more than a coping mechanism to deal with the fact they hate men but need them to understand most of their own jobs.

Of course they will.

They're trying to ensure the entire thing is a kafka trap - whichever course of action you take, they are all wrong.

Women demand to be treated like men, and go into a loathesome rage when it happens.

Either you're a functioning human being or the only worth you have is emotional appeal and what's inbetween your legs. Grow up, lady.

It's hilarious that women think this is a behavior exclusive to men arguing with women. As if every man (a) knows exactly the sex of the other person on the internet and (b) only elevates his language when addressing a woman. People, not just men, do this all the time and a part of argument. It's a not a personal attack lady, get over yourself.

When you disagree with a woman they just go "nu-uh", call you names and if you are lucky they'll try to appeal to emotions. Many men know exactly what I'm talking about, etc

I mean... one must be careful with his verbiage when his adversary has nothing in their arsenal but nitpick and pound the table.

Often, those who make decisions based on emotion feel ostracized when a man explains why their decisions are based in logic. It's a "they" problem but they want to make it sound like it's yours. Much like the blame for any issue ever.

As much as I'd love to pin this on her being a woman, this is a pretty typical dumb person complaint.

Jenny Nicholson is hilarious even if the source of her content is often an ideology I don't agree with. This post is a good example of that - it made me chuckle.

I do this when communicating to men or women, but especially women for exactly the reason she jokes about here.

People like her get mad when they’re wrong, so every time it happens, she has to attack some other barely-related angle to both distract people and explain why the argument “didn’t count”.

Literally just a variation of ho’s mad.

But it works with dumb people who think words are magic spells that change reality.

There are people in my life that I've stopped trying to help because of nonsense like this.

You can almost see them quivering in anticipation of a real or, more likely, imagined "gotcha" moment they can nail you with.

When they start bleating at me about things all they get back is "What a shame." or "That's interesting. You should probably do something about that."

I thought this woman used to be a Lindsay Ellis / Nostalgic Chick friend and collaborator.

But I might be mistaken after a quick look at her Twitter because I don't remember them being a "video game maker".

Game maker is a generic term.

I recognize her from the MLP fandom. She was part of a group that did parody episodes of the show (Friendship is Witchcraft) with a rewritten script and some reasonable Sony Vegas work. Example.
