What narrative would that be? That all people, regardless of gender, ethnicity etc. deserve equal rights?
'you should'
"You disagree with our narrative? You must be a sexist racist then."
Thanks for illustrating my point.
If you disagree that all people should be equal then I won't treat you as an equal.
This doesn't require a ted talk. It's just fairness.
And why do you think I disagree with that?
I don't. I was simply restating what you said, but in a way that was less pointlessly confrontational.
It's pretty confrontational when you accuse me of something I've never said.
Where's the accusation? I simply stated a fact.
"If you're over 6 get tall you're taller than me" - I'm not accusing you of being tall.
"If you think bigoted things I'm going to treat you poorly" - also not an accusation. Just a fact.
That said, if you're feeling like it's an accusation, you might internally be worried that you are a bigot. But that's a problem for you and your subconscious to sort out. Nothing to do with me.
There you go making assumptions about people again. You're rather aggressive aren't you? Why so angry? Why are you always looking for confrontation? What a sad pathetic life you have.
Do you not know what "if" means?
By refusing to answer my question you've given your answer.
