29. The reality is clear: Every group on DU is a men's group.

Which makes the existence of a literal "Men's Group" somewhat comical. Not simply because it doesn't need to exist but because there is a a body of individuals who think just the opposite.

There is no such thing as systemic oppression of the male sex. I can say that with a certainty not existent under any other circumstance. It is dogma to you because you haven't studied it. Which, if that is the only real definition of dogma to you, makes a lot of perfectly demonstrable truths dogma. Stellar precession must be mind blowing dogma to someone who doesn't understand the physical processes that make it so.

The fact that you don't understand them doesn't make the existence of these processes any more questionable. It just means you don't know what you're talking about. The answer to all of this then becomes "you should stop saying things until you understand."
