One of the comments reads : Actually, we will probably never figure out, was it man or woman. but I thought this comment of the professor was an interesting eye opener. https://mastodonapp.uk/@MarkHoltom/112070436760917344

And this reaction of yours is a prime example of jumping to conclusions based on political views.

You can argue, that this bone was used for 400 different things. Without context, arguing that it's definitely something about menstruation is just pseudo-feminist circle jerking. They just choose this interpretation because it fits their views and goals. That's unscientific.

What you're doing here is also not much better. Instead of actually engaging with the argument I brought, you just assume, that everyone who disagrees with a pseudo-feminist interpretation of a bone, must be the enemy. That is not exactly scientific.

you talked about enemity first, remember? you have this view of a fight, and that anyone who dare say that a woman did something and not a man, is fighting men.

You have a very defensive position. Which means you feal attacked. You say it directly when you talk about "enemy".

You are the problem my friend. Your first comment is aa problem. And the support it receives is concerning and scary.

Nope, I just pointed out, that an absolute statement like the one above is not valid. And the "enemy" I brought up, was used as a description of the position shown by the proponents of the menstruation bone absolutism.

And labeling me as a "problem", without even an attempt at telling me where I might be wrong is pretty, well, bold?

Think about it, I write, that absolutism is not good, and your first response is "you are evil because you dare question whatever I happen to believe in".

You don't help feminism like that. And that's pretty sad.
