Let me begin, by asking if you or anyone else, are not normally a person who has their opinion dictated to them....then why would these opinions require a cautionary reminder?
It immediately prompted a question for me and I'm asking only as that "reminder" has appeared here before. And I'm curious, as I don't/didn't quite understand it's purpose.
When we post our opinions on the more mudane items, no one "reminds" us that it's only one persons opinion, why is that?
I saw no one post to be "reminded" that brownies and chocolate chip cookies are only Aly's opinion of a good dessert. Nor did see a "reminder" that possibilitly of "revirgination" was just Mirm's opinion.
So does the reminder only pertain to specific subject matter? and if so why?
Does anyone really believe these women here can not remember to think for themselves without prompting?
Or is the suggestion that we women, simply can not discuss certain subjects without being in danger of abandoning our opinion in favor of anothers'?
The concept that it's "only his opinion" is of course, redundant. For all opinions are "only opinions", and our arguments to their logic/effectiveness notwithstanding, they shall remain merely a "subjective conclusion".
The inherent fallacy here is that when the opinion belongs to us, we routinely label them as fact - which of course, is delusion since opinions are neither right nor wrong, but simply a conclusion, that may or may not be based on a valid premise or fact.
Now having said that, what I love about other people's opinions is the opportunity to see how well it has been thought out, is there any authentic experience behind it, and is it based on a solid foundation.
However, even in the event that all this criteria exists in a dissenting opinion, does not mean that I am willing to accept it as my own. I do however, find it usually expands my awareness.
