I don’t love this thread—your first comment reads like you’re correcting me on something or saying I got something important philosophically wrong, and then you just expand on part of what I wrote with fancier language. The actual “correction”, if there is one, is down the thread and about a single word used in a minor part of the article, which, by your own findings, I am using in a common way and you are using in an idiosyncratic way. …It seems like a shoehorn for your pet philosophical stance. (I suppose I do at least appreciate you confining the inevitable “What are Women Really” tie-ins to your own thread, because boy howdy, do I not want that here.)
To be clear, the expansion was in fact good, it’s the unsupported framing as a correction that I take issue with. This wouldn’t normally bother me enough to remark on, but it’s by far the top-rated comment, and you know everyone loves a first-comment correction, so I thought I should put it out there.

Yeah, not-loving the way this thread turned out makes sense. Sorry. Please make sure to downvote any comments that you think are bad.
