You're the one projecting relativism. I'm suggesting listening to people and
engaging in empathy. I'm suggesting not imposing one's viewpoint on another
until one's heard the other out completely.  I'm suggesting that you are not
the final arbiter on anything. 

Now you can engage in doubletalk and call this relativism or anything you want
but all the masculinist debate in the world is not going to hide an idiotic
refusal to listen or be empathic.  If you want to be a pompous, arrogant
intellectual who claims to have some sort of legislative or judicial power
over other people's experience and uses the body of knowledge as a weapon to
bludgeon people, what a fucking waste.
