Quotehonestly guys I'm talking about the word feminism
like it's got feminine right in it regardless of what your lmgtfy link says.  Sheesh.
I genuinely don't know what you're not understanding about this.
And the moral of the story: Quit while you're a head.

Quote from: NocturneOfShadow on January 19, 2016, 06:53:18 PM1) I'm totally for women in the same job/political/etc. positions as men and that they should have equal opportunities as far as the state goes.  When talking about social norms though, I think a guy should treat a woman with more respect than he does to other guys-  women are important people.
What makes them any more important than men? The idea of feminism is that both sexes are equal to each other.
Quote3) That's a given, but you guys make it sound like they don't want to be treated as superior either.
They don't, and they won't be. Because again, the idea is that the sexes are equal.
Quote4) traditional, yeah, dated, yeah,
Then perhaps drop it?
Quoteoffensive, doubt it,
You don't think that's offensive? An idea being offensive doesn't mean it's bad or incorrect in and of itself, but you're simply wrong if you don't think people are offended by a, in your own words, "Traditional, dated" outlook.
 
Quotenarrow-minded, most likely
See my earlier statement.
Quote from: PDSThen perhaps drop it?
Quotesexist, eh, if racism is giving all black people 100k then racism is a pretty good thing
Wooooah that's a red herring if I ever saw one. Nobody was talking about race, and nobody was talking about 100k. You seem to have this made up idea that Feminism=kneeling at the ankles of every woman on the planet, when that simply is not the case. Feminism is the idea that both sexes are equal; it's titled feminism because it came out of a male dominated society in which women for a long time were considered property.
Quotehonestly guys I'm talking about the word feminism
like it's got feminine right in it regardless of what your lmgtfy link says.  Sheesh.
We know. You just don't seem to know what the word in its 21st usage means.
Again, I give you...
"the advocacy of women's rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men."

This is not acceptable in any context. You're on thin ice, Nocturne, because at this point it seems like you're just looking for an excuse to say offensive and otherwise inflammatory things.
Try to do everything; you're bound to succeed with at least one.

Also: While I appreciate how you guys would like to discuss this, please do so privately from this point on.

Quote from:  Forum RulesCalm debates on politics, religion etc will be tolerated
It's still fairly calm by NSM standards. It hasn't degenerated into a shitfest yet.

Keeping it private will prevent that from happening.

So long as it remains, at a minimum, this level of civility, it need not be moved.

It stopped being calm when:

So, again: You can continue this privately.

Make your own group chat if you wish to continue the discussion. You say it need not be moved as long as it remains 'civil', but these debates can get sour very quickly and be misinterpretted left and right. Best keep the discussions here as close to calm as possible by taking the risky stuf out.

Then perhaps we could change the forum rules to more appropriately reflect mod action?
A mod's discretion is one thing; avoiding any and all topics when they start to be controversial is another entirely and as such should be reflected more accurately in the forum rules.

Push the entire community elsewhere when it was one person? Especially when it wasn't extremely inflammatory in the first place? It was hardly "the life of the wife is ended by the knife" (Stewie Griffin's words, not mine). It was still stupid, but that's why people have these debates in the first place.
