Sucks that you had to be a Trump supporting racist, Mr. Scott Adams.

You literally called it a valid argument, don't know how else to interpret that.

    Would you consider it misogyny if someone mentions gold diggers in a conversation about dating? Or if they talk about gold diggers in any context at all? Or if someone even acknowledges that gold diggers exist?

    Because a lot of people would consider that misogyny.

    But an instagram model openly being a gold digger lends credence to the argument that "some women are gold diggers."

    So if you consider it misogyny to acknowledge that some women are gold diggers, then a woman being a gold digger is, by your very definitions, creating a pretext to justify misogyny.

    (Funny how women can generalize about men, but when men generalize about women it's suddenly a problem; or even if they don't generalize but cite specific examples, people will still make a strawman argument about them generalizing so even that's bad).

    don't know how else to interpret that.

    It involves assuming the point of view of a misoginist who feels entitled to be misoginistic. I know it's not a position you thought you'd end up when you woke up this morning, but trying to understand what's going on in other people's head is a first step towards fighting intolerance.

    "women should behave a certain way to not justify misogyny" comes off about as well as "black people should behave a certain way to not justify racism", imo

    i appreciate your intentions, but this is not the way

    It's not that.

    It's, "if you rob someone at gunpoint then you can't cry racism when you get arrested."

    It's, "if you're a gold digger, then you can't cry misogyny when someone calls you a gold digger."

    Behave however you want, but if you take advantage of people then you don't get to hide behind "systemic oppression" to avoid facing consequences.
