What narrative would that be? That all people, regardless of gender, ethnicity etc. deserve equal rights?
'you should'
"You disagree with our narrative? You must be a sexist racist then."
Thanks for illustrating my point.
If you disagree that all people should be equal then I won't treat you as an equal.
This doesn't require a ted talk. It's just fairness.
And why do you think I disagree with that?
I don't. I was simply restating what you said, but in a way that was less pointlessly confrontational.
It's pretty confrontational when you accuse me of something I've never said.
Where's the accusation? I simply stated a fact.
"If you're over 6 get tall you're taller than me" - I'm not accusing you of being tall.
"If you think bigoted things I'm going to treat you poorly" - also not an accusation. Just a fact.
That said, if you're feeling like it's an accusation, you might internally be worried that you are a bigot. But that's a problem for you and your subconscious to sort out. Nothing to do with me.
Do you not know what "if" means?
Ah there you go making assumptions again. Stop being a little bitch.
By refusing to answer my question you've given your answer.
