He doesn't paint you as disagreeable, nor do you paint yourself that way. You paint yourself as inconsistent and lacking a nuanced understanding of the very topics about what you write. And write. And write. Thurgreed just points that out in a disagreeable way.

Every person should be able to understand how prejudice makes others feel and is inappropriate; every person who has experienced the disgusting extreme of that prejudice should especially feel that sort of empathy.

Just as every person should be able to understand how sexual assault makes a woman feel; every person who has a close relationship with someone who has experienced the disgusting violation of the self that such an assault represents should have sufficient empathy to see that whether or not the rapist counts in a woman's "number" is not "judgment call" (even if you don't think the number itself has any moral significance).

You can bet that I would respond in the most effective way (to the extent appropriate in a professional setting or unlikely to cause a brawl) to get people to actually reconsider their beliefs, actions or statements. I think it's also sad and pathetic that you're more concerned about pointing a finger and trying to be better than everyone else than actually trying to address a problem. But it's doesn't surprise me.

I'd take that bet, but not in your favor. You don't even have the guts to say the right thing to a girl with whom you have an intimate relationship. You are a hedging, bullet-dodging, simpering associate wimp as well as a fool.
