@theunstoppablepeppercrab replied to your post “date a woman who practices good, old-fashioned critical thinking”
it just kinda bugs me that it's implying there are women that can't rationalise their own arguments and it's kinda a red flag because some people might believe the critical thinking is only akin to theirs and when they're confronted with a different idea which is argumented and rationalized they label it as "being an un-woke foolish dumb sheep" and they might excuse their own bias as "critical thinking" by saying date one who practices self care I'm saying one who knows their own worth as person and is not afraid to walk away or defend instead of putting up with fake woke guy shit just to be labelled as "critical thinker" and validated in the eyes of those who are perceived to be wise/clever/smart one who loves their own self
Wow @aphrodite do I have a lot to unpack here.
Like, first of all... You’re pulling it out of your ass that this in any way “implies women can’t rationalise their own arguments”. Saying someone doesn’t practice critical thinking is very different from saying they don’t rationalise/think at all.
Second of all how is it a “red flag” to urge women to date women who think critically? Nowhere do I specify what type of critical thinking should be done, or about what. It makes zero (0) sense to deny all critical thinking because you’re scared someone might “think wrong”. Like, hello...??? It’s literally the point of critical thinking that one question and reason about whatever type of information they are processing. Basically you're saying it's a "red flag" to encourage women to think critically....... Like? If they do think critically they do question even the very encouragement.
By questioning my post about thinking critically, you practiced critical thinking, and therefore just come off super weirdly hypocritical.
Besides, there is nothing about woke guys here. This blog is for same-sex attracted women and run by a lesbian. This blog also advises people to date weird-ass women, but it’s quite shocking the one post I’m actually having questioned isn’t one of the ones where I say women should date other women who are monsters, or creepy, or whatever, but the one where there’s actually unironically good advice.
Anyway, TL;DR: The concept of critical thinking is completely neutral, and by encouraging people (especially women, who are so often indoctrinated from very young ages to think and act certain ways) to think critically and surround themselves with other generally critical women I am in no way discouraging wisdom or self care or the cultivation of intelligence/smartness or the concept of self worth.
The one red flag I see around here is that you actually tried to talk down critical thinking because somehow it would lead people to not think critically enough. It's so contradictory, it's almost like you don’t know what you’re talking about, or, you know, already have a stigma you go by, where words such as critical and thinking are devalued and discouraged.
