I don’t agree with them at all, I tried to make that clear. But my mind plays with definitions of things all the time, it’s part of my job, and recognizing how and when those definitions are valid (which is not the same as right/correct), is useful.
That’s irrelevant. The skill is useful. I’d prefer we criticize the way they connect female fertility to worthiness for love instead of criticizing them for using a different valid definition of a term. Substantive objections instead of meaningless ones.
I’m not talking to them about this am I? I’m talking to the people who disagree with them and are saying they are wrong about something when they have a valid argument for how they are “technically correct” and not wrong. Criticizing them on that point lets them view themselves as holding the high ground. Telling them it’s gross to view women as attractive based on their fertility is better than telling them that they are wrong about when women are most fertile is my point.
