Generalities or anecdotal. Seems nothing has merit on the great CD forum......unless you agree with it lol
The only thing I will probably agree on is not applying generalities to individuals. It's the fall back position of a limited mind.

The problem with this forum is that it is completely sopolistic. Even if the topic is discussing a generality, 6 posters will chime in with their anecdotal personal one off experience and claim the generality isn't true. It's obnoxious.
Look, my post is addressing the modern day, strong, intelligent, self proclaimed feminists who DO struggle in the dating world.
They can't continuously sit back and blame men or their jobs for being the sole reason as to why they struggle with dating. Could it be their environment? Sure
But if they're going on dates with guys they deem "normal" and decent and those dates are never getting anywhere, one does have to do some reflecting and look back on themselves.
What else do you as a smart, intelligent, career driven woman have to offer other than walking around and trying to convince everyone around you that you are indeed these things.
Does a comedian have to tell people they're funny? No. So why do certain women feel the need to walk around advertising how they are supposedly smart, intelligent, career driven etc? It WILL show once people get to know you.
But a lot of those women do walk around with a chip on their shoulders and feel that it's necessary to constantly repeat (to themselves and the world ) how they're this way and that way.
I never once said all career driven feminists are single or struggle. But the post was speaking to those who do. In the first line it's rather obvious.

Anecdotes do not trump generality
What you're saying is true. Folks on here only like generalizations when they agree with them. If they don't agree with the generalization, then it's all of a sudden incorrect.
Most posters on here have the opinion that "my opinion is more correct than your opinion"
No need to derail the thread over shenanigans. My post was only speaking to the career driven feminists who do struggle.
I take it we have some feminists on here who just cannot fathom that a woman could possibly be the obstacle keeping herself from being successful in any aspect of her life.
Of course, some folks are only in agreement with "positive" generalizations, which are no better than the negative ones. When you accept the positive, you're also accepting the negative.
Generalities blow your credibility. When I know it's false, I stop reading. It defeats the purpose of even posting.
Of course, personal attacks do the same thing.

From my experience, A lot of them aren't really "successful" though. They simply have a degree with a decent to good job. I remember a goddamn social worker tried to argue that the reason men don't approach her is because they're intimidated by her success and I was like
