Don't use
gender bias
as justification
to be equally prejudicial;
most feminists I've met
are just as sexist
as the dogma they fight.
Hate cannot usurp hate.
Prejudice cannot quell prejudice.
These tactics
are cheap ad hominem arguments.
People are people.
All lives matter.
Period.
All this schismatic exclusion
only further polarizes
a fractured and diseased worldview;
we must work together
to bring the spectrum
back to healthy balance
rather than
acting on hubris;
equilibrium is inevitable,
so it may as well be sought
on our own terms,
lest we be forced against our wills
to come to terms with it.

This is not an attack;
it is commentary.
I'm quite open to discussion!
