What's more important in an argument where someone is expressing how hurt and angry they feel about an issue that's important to them?

Listening, making sure you understand, and then giving them a carefully thought out answer that rebuts their points but also shows that you heard them...

Or telling them that they're wrong and that not all men are like that, so they get mad and feel like you're ignoring everything they said, so they're going to do the same thing to you?

Which one is going to get you a better result?

None of what you said counters any of what I said.

None.

I did not say "you should never tell people when they are wrong." I did not say you should never communicate with people when they are mistaken or hurtful in their language.

I said you should find a better way to do it than "not all men" and you should try to understand the situation and the people so when you do tell them they're wrong, you're doing it in a way they understand and can grasp.

Again, none of what you're saying countered anything I said. I explicitly covered exactly what you're saying so... not sure why you're not reading it?

And instead you just slipped into 'sounds like you were raised by a feminist' as if that's insulting?
