Even on this level your objection fails, because K said s/he thought the two strategies “differ from each other on this” while Julian claimed to provide ‘antidotes to this kind of “sexual strategies” thinking’ (emphasis added). You can’t leave out some of the symbols and claim this makes for a more literal interpretation.
Here’s the sub-thread I refer to. You come into it strawmanning JulianMorrison and accusing him of political bias. Now you seem to say that you ‘moved the discussion’ in this way because you (falsely) believed he made a technically incorrect statement in the comment that I just quoted correctly.
Had he in fact done so, and had I wanted to correct it for some reason, I would have started my response with “Technically...” rather than going straight to sarcasm.
Odds are neither wedrifid nor hairyfigment is learning anything from this discussion any more. But if you want to continue, consider tabooing “sexual strategies.” It’s possible you’re just using that phrase to mean different things.
Ah. So you’re being needlessly pedantic.

No. Just no.
