People who do not control themselves in public make me emotional. People calmly explaining to me that the earth is flat, people nonchalantly expressing agreement with Nazis (even though I'm part Jewish, though they don't know that), do not make me emotional. People getting emotional and using what I consider to be dishonorable, cheap, childish tactics in conversations offend me more than listening to even idiotic nonsense or morally reprehensible speech. I actually find myself feeling offended and getting emotional. I despise people who lack impulse control and do not control their emotions in public.

Two people screaming at each other makes me more uncomfortable than two guys punching each other in the face. Another thing, is that even in a conversation that I am not involved in and do not give a **** what the people are talking about, I feel disgusted when I see someone use the "cut them off at the pass" routine and respond to what the other person is saying before they are done talking in a not only dishonest, except more importantly cheap and dirty manner. That person is more deserving of a punch in the face than someone who calmly states that such and such group of people should be eradicated. The former is more dishonorable than the latter. It is like not following the code and taking your 30 paces in a duel.

When someone states even incorrect facts, they can be fact-checked. "Strong Opinions" are offensive because they can be pulled out of thin air and can not be quantified and tested, yet people sometimes give weight to them. Nothing is legitimate until we can measure it. Morality is the only gray area I can see and is tough to think about or discuss.

I cannot fathom how a calm, dispassionate turn taking conversation is not superior to any other form of verbal communication in every single imaginable way. It is the best we can do to try and eliminate emotional outbursts and psycho-drama bull****. No yelling, no interrupting, and no displays of emotion. I have a hard enough time communicating the way it is without dealing with behavior that makes me feel nauseated. Who knows, perhaps those of us not gifted in the area of communication skills are better off not interacting too much with people who make us want to walk away from them.

To any extent, is feminism to blame for the breakdown in society that has caused behavior like I have described to become more commonplace in modern times?

I was following along waiting for your point (trying to ignore the rambling) then out from the blue with no reasoning behind it you blame feminism for a mythological breakdown of society. IMO thats worse than public emotional outbursts.

You do see more women getting emotional and injecting themselves personally into conversations. Guys are more likely to stay indifferent or slug it out. When men were in charge, we had honorable dueling. The person who died did so with honor. Something has caused us to lose a sense of fair play. Classic fairy tales were always about the hero having more ability and the villain trying to win through nefarious means. Classic fairy tales and stereotypes are what are supposed to form as the basis of our morality and source of judgement in life. I have seen many modern depictions with the hero winning despite being the underdog. This is disturbing, though it may fit in more with the modern SJW mentality.

Duels were stupid, fairy tales are not reality, stereotypes are normally wrong, neither are where you should learn right from wrong.

I'm a little busy at the moment to answer such a well thought out and reasoned question. I'm busily campaigning to make urinating while standing illegal for men.

Stay tuned. Your bathroom urinating days as you know it, will soon be coming to an end.

Duels were honorable. Fairy tales are about telling a story and presenting a moral. Most stereotypes have some basis in reality. These things serve as a moral foundation.

SO are you suggesting that we should bring back duels?

ANd are you also implying that you got all your morals from fairy tales?

I suppose if you are a racist then sure you would believe that stereotypes are based on some basis in your twisted reality.

Ill cut to the chase: Your argument is lame.

Those silly women... interjecting into Man Talk...

...more men killed each other by back stabbing than by "honorable dueling"...

The person who died did so with honor.

Death from a duel is not honorable... it is stupid because it is senseless...

What about when somebody corrects your grammar... because this sentence is horrible. It should read:

When someones states facts that are incorrect, and that can be fact checked, it makes me emotional.

No. Someone saying something that is factually incorrect does not make me emotional because it can be fact checked. Someone screaming out a non-quantifiable opinion like it's a fact is infuriating.

So too is a long rambling op ending in a stupid, totally unrelated question.

Feminism is destroying the social structure of Western Civilization. It leads to acceptance of displaying too many emotions and people confiding too much and being too social.
