I was being facetious. But if you want to take it seriously, then feel free. Yes, there is a far greater chance of an apocalyptic event on earth in the next couple years than a violent, successful Christian overthrow of the US government.

Perhaps they did understand what you meant, but I gave you the benefit of assuming you meant exactly what your wrote.

Well, if you want to change the most fundamental word in your statement with an entirely different one, then that's fine by me. I'd still likely disagree, but at least your words wouldn't be sexist and condescending to women in that case. In the future though, you should take great care in selecting which words you…

Does it still count as 'mansplaining' when I thought you were a man?

I know you're going say I'm being condescending now, or 'mansplaining', but you've kind of just demonstrated why we're unable to find common ground here: You just don't know very much yet.

I really can't comment on how I might feel differently were I a woman, for that is unknowable.

First off, Bubba up there is not my friend. It bothers me no end that Breitbart-type mouth breathers would find some of my words comforting… but there's nothing I can when they happen to be right for the wrong reasons, and my fellow liberals are wrong for the right reasons.

Disagree… I may 'feel' differently if I were a woman, but I don't believe I'd 'think' differently.

I don't mind the pile on, since I fully expected push-back when I wrote it.

Good point. They also don't need to ask for a man's say-so to be publicly executed for 'acting like a whore' or insulting the profit. What's more, for lesbians who aren't caught in the act and hung from cranes (literally… Atwood isn't creative) or stoned, they're given the courtesy of electric shock therapy to fix…

No, I know. Sorry for wording it in a way that implied that. And I know exactly what you mean… hell, it's why I turned off Lost halfway through season 2.

Lena Dunham is more visible to the people who voted Trump than pretty much anybody you could name.

How many times do I have to say that I'm not a victim, and I'm not bothered by your 1st year of university gender studies perspective. I'm just pointing out that it might be time to read a book that hasn't been assigned to you.

Right… because straight white males have nothing to lose from the Trump administration? Do you hear yourself? How tiny is the bubble you live in… or is it just large enough for you and Lena Dunham?

That's exactly what I was thinking… only he'd probably have gone to Detroit or Vancouver instead.

You do realize that literally means nothing, right?

Huh… I hadn't thought of it that way. Interesting. Guess I'm going to have to stop saying that dolphins will never enslave us and ritually sodomize all the redheads.

If it's kosher to be racist, sexist, and bigoted against people who've historically enjoyed more societal advantage, then it follows that racism, sexism, and bigotry aren't mala in se after all… in which case, you have no right to complain when I say you will surely need a dictionary and five minutes to understand…

Look… I wouldn't bet a nickel that she doesn't fantasize about killing him every day, but both of these incidents look far more likely to be unintentional and haphazard hand movements, than any conscious (or subconscious) actions. Let's have some intellectual honesty here folks… or we're no better than Kellyanne…

Are you making a joke? What expression are you wearing on your face?
