Yeah, and it will be you who dictates what "gender bias" means or whom?


It's perfectly normal, or should be, to present ones opinion in a discussion without having to endure rhetorical questions. I'm pretty feed up with all the nitpicking here, this isn't a literary forum, if you have an opinion express it.


Yes, it is. I agree with everything you say.

My opinion is: there is and there will never be a way to clearly distinguish between 'gender neutral' and 'gender biased' actions when those actions are not clearly violent or degrading or insulting. So please do not use a word which has no meaning as though it had one and a clear-cut one.

I gather I had made myself clear in my last post: there is no such thing as 'gender bias' in 90% of what the OP claims.

Trying to force language on others (like 'gender biased behavior') is worse than what you call 'nitpicking'.

Edit: You may be confusing 'nitpicking' with 'irony'.


No, more like arguing for something. Then you can agree, or argue against it. Neat, huh?

If you're unable to argue against something, but resent it anyway, you may project your wish to dictate your conclusion even though you don't have the arguments for it. But people rarely do that ^^
