#4I’d restate the sex work argument as:
Why should someone who thinks sex work be decriminalized be automatically be thrown into the feminist camp?

#5This blog post was served an opportunity on a silver platter to explain what's wrong with the responding tweet and instead contains a highly irrelevant analogy.
Original Post: VCs respond if you say AI. VCS don't respond at all if you don't mention AI
Response: You should be happy that they only respond to AI and not respond if you don't have AI
OP calls the game rigged, but the response calls the game fair. That's where the contradiction lies.

#6I'm guilty of similar automatic responses as Rob's. Same goes for using "always" and "everyone" during arguments.
Now I'm trying to have a rule at home, that if we use "always/everyone" we automatically "lost" the argument and have to step back and rethink :)
Personally I find it hard to keep this in control and I know it takes away some ability to apply empathy (as in being in someones shoes, not pity). It's about finding a way to look at yourself from a distance. Preferably before I speak. Often it's not the case - I can do that, but in moments of relative comfort. So I'm still guilty of generalizing and blaming a person for group issues sometimes.
I'm wondering how others train themselves to increase that self awareness (and in the end practical empathy)?
Should I even try to improve it during stress/challenging situations, or rather eliminate that factor (for instance, by doing less on-the-fly calls) and try to have more talks when things are not rushed?

The blog isn't about the responding tweet. Or even about any tweets. It's just using them as examples of a communication pattern the author noticed.

#9I sympathize with this mistake because people are often very tribalistic, at least in certain online spaces, so it can feel useless to hear people out, especially when you don’t feel they will reciprocate.
That doesn’t justify it, of course, but I think it partially explains it.

I’m personally doubtful that venture capital is a socially beneficial or fair process [0], but I’m inclined to agree with the author of the post that the “experiment” isn’t a good basis for that conversation.
[0]: Yes, I realize the irony of posting that here.
