I acknowledge that there are people in the world who are smarter than I am... who have more objective opinions than I do... etc. However, I refuse to be addressed in a way that denies my personhood... denies the validity of my position on certain topics.
I refused to be manipulated in a way that acknowledges my being some kind of second class citizen.
Grr.
People are not often worthwhile.
