thats just it, simply calling someone sexist (for example) doesn't do anything but insult them and make you sound like someone that has no rebuttal but to insult them. Explaining why its sexist and how it hurts people or why its unfair is actual productive discussion. Though as was also stated responses like that are also often met with the same dismissive insults. You need to have both sides open to rational discussion, and it saddens me because this used to be the one place I could find it
