Okay, so I had a certain triggered user here on GAG write a MyTake basically looking their nose down on everyone, preaching to everyone, and then telling them "If you don't like respecting each other, then you can't leave."
I left a response saying "I disagree with all of this, but will respect your right to say it." The user then insisted why I disagree with her points. This is my response to this, and it can apply to any triggered snowflake out there. I won't be using 100% of what they wrote, keep in mind, but I will be trying to quote them as succinctly as I can.


The "Feminism is only about equality" Argument:
"I have had just about enough of people using the derogatory term feminazi or witch, and do I even have to explain why these are wrong to call people? Feminists aren’t anti-men. True feminists believe in equality. "Fake feminists" are sexist. If you think feminism is a cult or if you downplay the opposite gender’s problems, unfollow me. If you promote sexism, rape, or domestic violence then unfollow me."
My Counterargument:
Feminists are sh*tty, angry, horrible, pathetic, miserable people. It doesn't take much research to find out the movement is quite *LITERALLY* about hating men and extreme jealousy over them, and claiming "no they don't" is irrelevant to 174 years of actions that say otherwise. It's pure misandry, regardless or what people on the internet think.


The "Did you know racism is bad?!" Argument:
"Stop generalizing and enough with the slurs. Don’t sexualize women OR men just because they’re from another ethnicity. Also, don’t be prejudiced against people from other countries."
My Counterargument:
Liking someone from a specific race or nationality isn't "problematic." Or the term you use, "sexualizing" them. How TF can *liking* someone be bigotry and racism? Regardless if it's love or lust. Also, the shorter and easier counterargument to this: CHINA. Or NORTH KOREA. Or hell, try telling this BS to Ukraine right now. Yeah, saying "don't hate other countries," or even their government, isn't so black and white. Especially when you take a pampered upper-middle class white girl out of North America and show them how much South Korea hates Japan, or how much China hates everyone.

The "Homophobes and Transphobes" Argument:
"This is getting so ridiculous. You don’t have to actively support the way some members of these communities behave, but you do have to treat them like people!"
My Counterargument:
No. No, you don't. Respect and politeness is not automatically given to you. If someone is an asshole and always accusing me of being "homophobic" or "transphobic" because I merely disagree with them, they can kiss my black ass. Respect is a two-way street and I only respect people worthy of it, not because they're gay, trans, or etc. The implied argument is, if someone is gay or trans or asexual or disable, you have to kiss their ass! Because of what they are, and not who they are, as a person. My response? Nah! I treat everyone based on how they treat me. I'm not going to kowtow to them because they're LGBT or in a wheelchair. Assholes are assholes regardless of their position on the "Progressive Stack."

The "You must respect all religions!" Argument:
"You don’t have to agree with my personal beliefs to get along with me. It doesn’t matter what someone believes, as long as they’re not making ritual human sacrifices."
My Counterargument:
I don't have to agree with someone's personal beliefs to get along with them. But on that same note, I don't have to do anything someone wants me to do purely based on their religious beliefs, either. One word: Islam. I don't respect it and I don't think it's helpful to anyone or compatible with the Western world. I am not automatically rude to Muslims, but I do tell them honestly and politely I loathe their violent, barbaric ideology and don't respect it. That's the thing: Atheists and agnostics don't have to kiss the asses or deeply religious people, and religious people don't have to fake it for atheists and agnostics.

The "Political" argument
Why should you feel the need to attack me for my political views? It is so easy to be respectful of other people. I deserve just as much respect for my personal opinions as everyone else does.
My Counterargument:
I don't have a problem with this on the surface, as much as I have a problem with this:
"I DESERVE just as much respect for my personal opinions as everyone else does!" That's the problem right there. People thinking they're entitled to respect. Even contradicting their own arguments in that 'ists and phobes' aren't worthy of respect. Oh the irony!

The "Anything a man says to a woman that she doesn't agree with is 'harassment' " argument
"If you do speak to [girls and women] on the internet this way, you are promoting rape culture. Don’t ask me inappropriate questions. Another thing someone did was challenge me to a fight if I “had the ovaries,” then she blocked me. Seriously, this is so immature."
My Counterargument:
Says the girl who blocked me for respectfully disagreeing with her. Oh the irony again! Then again, hypocrites thrives on the internet. Also, "if you say something I deem to be inappropriate, YOU ARE PROMOTING RAPE CULTURE!" BS like this is why I don't respect people who think in this way.
Rape culture isn't a real thing (in the West) and claiming it is, speaks of someone who's never been to the Middle East or outside of the Western world before. Even reading that makes me cringe. Also what women consider "harassment" nowadays is such a joke, I don't take it seriously anymore. Nobody is entitled to kiss your ass and harassment can ONLY ever be intentional from someone. Just because you don't like what someone said, or how unattractive the person saying it is, doesn't constitute "harassment." And this is actually offensive to actual women who have actually been harassed. Not just the "Ugly guy said Hi to me; how dare he!" BS of young upper middle class Western women nowadays. This is First World Entitlement and Divaisms to the extreme.

My Closing Argument:
People should spend more time working on THEMSELVES than whining about others being -ists and -phobes. But that requires actual effort, while complaining about "how wrong everyone else is" doesn't. You want to change the world? Work on yourself first and lead by example.
And of course, after that, she blocked me. How pathetic. But I'm not mad or anything; I simply made a MyTake out of it. :)
