Hmm.
Well, my latest reply on my other post explains that I don't arrive at my conclusions based on one woman or the women in my circle. But based on my observation of society, the women in my circle, social media posts, etc.
These conclusions were not reached through scientific research, though, that had to do with me giving out questionnaires, interviewing large cross sections of women and all that. So they can't be passed off as facts, I agree. But they are opinions I stand by.
There are a lot of things we agree on as regards human behaviour that were not arrived at through the Scientific process. It goes without saying that they don't carry the same force facts would carry but they are opinions.
And because that goes without saying, when someone gives an opinion like that you should only attack it's merits if it is just downright ridiculous and there's just clearly no truth in it, or it is something that in all honesty you can't say "hmm, this guy is probably up to something here".
You can disagree with an opinion but first be sure you're not biased, then remember it can be true even though you don't agree with it.
For millenniums women have mostly had to depend on men for provision, women only started getting the freedom to fend for themselves recently as civil freedoms expanded, so there's no way you can say it is farfetched to say that a lot of women would still have it in the back of their minds that focusing on only getting provision from men via their bodies is not at least something they think about sometimes even though, like I said many of them are dignified enough to only think about it but never go into it.
Women who are struggling think about this at least once in a while. If you aren't biased you can say I'm probably wrong by saying this applies to most women, but you can't say it is ridiculous for me to say it is common.
When I say most women, all I need to be correct is for it to apply to at least 50% plus of women, if you say that is far fetched then all I can do is just shrug.
Also the other stuff about 80% of feminists, 80% is not a generalization. It is clearly leaving out a whooping 20%.
