Thanks for pointing that out - that wasn't my intention. What I mean is that I can't even participate in any such conversation, regardless of circumstances - only feminist women are even allowed to participate and speak of this (AKA only the informed, righteous victim-saviors have any say in the matter).
Being a man forbids me to say anything. If I disagree on any point, I'm evil. If I agree on any point, I'm attempting to trick them and I'm evil. I'm an enemy soldier and I cannot be allowed, at any cost, to be perceived as even remotely close to anything else than The Enemy. In many cases, even staying silent, nodding, or going away from the discussion is still grounds to condemn me; I'm trying to pretend it doesn't concern me, or showing contempt, or running away to ignore the subject, respectively, in their views.
Obviously this is not the omnipresent case for all feminists. It's just the most common situation (>50%, actually) that occurs whenever I end up in some kind of social setting where it becomes established as common knowledge that one of the women is a Feminist.
Lately I automatically lower my opinion of anyone who self-identifies with a broad enough group without reservation.
Examples, in roughly descending order of opinion drop:
I'm Eliezer Yudkowsky! Do you have any idea how many distinct versions of me there are in Tegmark Levels I through III?
Don't anthropomorphize humans, and don't identify with yourself.
37. Precisely 37. If you disagree then your conception of the identity "Eliezer Yudkowsky" is either too broad or too narrow. (So there!?)
I just want to say that it was hilariously confusing to see "I'm Eliezer Yudkowsky!" coming from you out of context in the Recent Comments Bar.
Sounds like it would be an improvement to skip blockquotes when producing that summary.

Am I the only one seeing a Hebrew letter here? Does א have some numerical significance I'm not aware of?
No and yes.
