Was being called a "feminist asshole" the best thing that has happened to me tonight?

I don't know why, but it made me laugh really hard and become very happy. xD

It's kinda sad whenever people attach so much value to a label. It's like being a feminist, or conservative, or atheist, or whatever is an ennobling factor by itself. It's just so self-righteous. Like it's something you can wear to cover up all your failures and short-comings as a person.

I don't view feminist as any kind of insult, but it sure as shit isn't something to be proud of. It's just a category you placed yourself into. You did nothing to earn it. It doesn't offset your asshole tendencies, and doesn't mean you're smarter or better or whatnot than anyone else.

Deriving happiness from that is very petty, in my opinion. You make no effort at all to consider why someone would call you asshole and just pat yourself on the back for being a feminist. It's juvenile

It made me laugh which made me happy because it was a stupid thing to make an insult, not because it made me proud to be a feminist, nitwit.

@KaliKali: Fine, just substitute happy for proud and the result is the same

Brainiac, being a feminist didn't make me happy, his idiotic choice for an insult did.

@KaliKali: Well given how quick you are to playground insults, I can at least see why he'd pick one of his word choices

I figured playground insults were appropriate for you given the pseudo-intellectual rant you gave, doofus.

@KaliKali: If you figure insults are appropriate for anyone, then you lack any kind of intellectual prowess at all. Insults are what people resort to when they've run out of logic

I just attached insults to the beginning and end of my comments, it isn't like the entire comment was an insult. I ate several grams of psilocybin mushrooms not too long ago, I am literally seeing rainbows of light coming out of my computer screen right now. Even still, I can see through the layers "I wish I was smart" in your comments. You aren't enlightened because you think categorizing people into groups is shallow or that if you associate with a group you are wearing a mask, you sound like you're in high school.

@KaliKali: Unnecessarily. You added insults for the sole purpose of being petty and hurtful. I never claimed to be enlightened or smart. I said my piece, and you reacted like a petulant brat that isn't used to being challenged would.

I also never said that categorizing people is shallow or that associating with a group is wearing a mask. I just said that treating the label as something ennobling is sad. The label alone is pointless for the purpose of deriving value or worth.

You still sound like you're in high school. xD

@KaliKali: And yet you continue to waste your time arguing with me. Is your ego that fragile that you have to have the last word against someone you can't even speak to without insulting?

Do you really think I'm arguing? xD 😂

@KaliKali: I'll take that as a yes. My goodness, you're even worse than Trump

If I post this comment, completely devoid of any substance whatsoever, are you still going to reply?
