Please understand that I'm saying this in the spirit of genuine solidarity. I know I'm the enemy because I have a penis and all, but I actually feel very strongly about women's equality.

When you lie (and exaggerating to this degree is lying), it makes people think of you as a liar. It makes them less likely to listen to the other valid things you might have to say. It diminishes the sympathy and trust people have for you and your cause.

I wasn't aware of this video. It's yet more evidence of what a repugnant person Tate is (how you got the impression that Tate is my hero I will never understand 😅). But it is not, not even close, a video of him "torturing and mutilating a woman." Those words describe atrocities that are actually happening to women today. It's an insult to use them where they don't apply.

You can't just leap to the most sensationalist, emotive word you can think of every time you want to make a point. Or rather, you can, but it just makes you look like a crazy person and gives people a reason to dismiss your arguments. Have some integrity.
