Why?

tl/dr

"Women Start More Shit Than Men" would be a great title for a history textbook.

Some [women] don't have anyone they can count on, not even in their own family. Now imagine how the [Hobby Lobby decision] makes them feel. Imagine getting laughed at by anyone you try to reach out to. Imagine being told that your feelings aren't valid, your pain isn't legitimate and that you're just a baby [machine].

It's a blatant category error he used for his syllogism, and I'm troubled no one I've read so far has pointed this out. A category error is when one term is used as if belonging to a certain category, but in fact has no relation to the category.

A child not getting treated for their cancer has nothing to do with the insurance plan that I pay into every month not paying for my $100 birth control pills.

That sounds about right. I don't care what you want to do. Do whatever you want, and I'll do what I want.

I'm a guy, and long before I learned anything about feminism and patriarchy and power dynamics, I learned just to be fucking polite. Bellowing out to a complete stranger, unless it's something like "hey, look out for that safe that's about to fall on your head", is at best rude as shit. At worst it's the kind of…
