Agreed. Redpillers say feminists should grow thicker skin, yet THEY themselves are the thin skinned ones.
first time i hear of this, can You give examples?
It's actually pretty simple: Someone getting upset about someone else's sane and rational opinion shows that the person getting upset is almost certainly more easily offended, and thus thinner skinned, especially when considering that the person with the sane and rational opinion needs to be able to endure the attacks of the upset people, thus being thicker skinned. Doesn't ALWAYS work out this way, but a lot of the time. :B
However, this only holds true with sane and rational opinions. If an opinion is based on assumptions, lies, or debunked facts, then clinging to such an opinion is often really, really dumb. To that end, if I have an opinion on something based on misinformation and I learn the truth, I will always retract my previous opinion. We're all Human, we make mistakes, and being able to admit to that can be surprisingly challenging for some people, especially when their own financial or social status is on the line. My own morals, ethics and beliefs demand that I own up to my mistakes, regardless of the consequences, and amazingly... I've found even THIS behaviour can upset people. o_O
