“Keep silent let people blow your trumpet”. But will they blow it though? You see, humility is easier to practise when people are honest. But too many people are not. People can see you’re literally killing it but they’ll look away and then blame you for blowing your trumpet.

People do not understand how to present strong coherent arguments, that’s why they introduce strawmans to rile people up. A strong argument sticks to what is CLEARLY stated. Not implied. The that implication is where your bias shows.

This is a straw man argument that deviates from what she said. The notion that women should be provided for SOLELY because they’re women is based on the patriarchal notion that we’re the weaker sex, and hence “need to be taken care of.”

@Nimisire This is simplistic though. Girls get groped in primary school and in marketplaces by boys and men they’ve never asked for shit. Even in countries where women have seen a tremendous boom in financial independence, male entitlement, incel culture and femicide is on the rise.
