You're both wrong because the new Ghostbusters looks like a pile of stinky Batlord ****.

Honestly, all I was trying to do here is state that I don't believe there ever should be a social stigma between genders, because i've always been gender neutral, which is why I believe that "cis gender" doesn't exist. I've never seen people as men or women, so to me, the argument doesn't exist.

I definitely understood the point you were trying to make, but unfortunately Facebook arguments are a black hole and people can't discuss a topic very long before making things personal and attacking you for whatever reason they can (in this case, trying to twist your words because apparently men can't have opinions on gender issues.)

It was actually really scary, to be honest. A pack of women started coming after me with insults and describing my opinion as something I shouldn't hold in high regard. I've always found that the issue in this whole men vs women thing is that women believe men shouldn't be allowed to hold an opinion, and women should be allowed to hold an opinion, and if that opinion is questioned, the man is wrong. Pretty much exactly what happened in the discussion I had today.

You're not in the wrong. You're entirely right. I don't care about some stupid issue of genders. I'm going to go see it because it looks good.

That said, they can go see a movie for any reason I want.

It was lazy for them to use your race and gender to devalue your opinions instead of actually addressing your point. You showed your shortcomings on the issue by not beliefing [sic] in cis as a realistic term. You both lose, but you can both still be winners if you avoid that garbage film.

Exactly. See the movie because I say it's good.

I think you don't even notice that you're being intentionally inflammatory. Your arguments seem tailored to cause offense even though I understand the underlying point and agree with it: the basic idea of gender swapping the Ghostbusters is completely pointless, since there was nothing gender specific about them to begin with, so making them women adds nothing to the equation and only serves to show just how much of a shallow cash grab the movie PROBABLY is.

Unfortunately, that was where my weakness came into play, and I did apologize to them for expressing that. I know better now though.
