Steal away! I consider it a high compliment.
No, I had the quote right. It’s a Sherlock Holmes/Conan Doyle.
Sorry, but you’re mistaken. Holmes might have said what you cite, but that isn’t the famous saying that would be referenced in these situations. Look it up if you don’t believe me; it’s well-known.
As for what Holmes might have said, it isn’t really relevant. You can find a source for anything, but it doesn’t cut any ice to reference something obscure simply because it contradicts a well-known truth.
“Feminism includes a lot of stuff people don’t realize. Including the right to vote.”
And your point is?
Wouldn't it be simpler to push him down a flight of stairs or to hit him with a piece of lumber?
He did say it. http://quotations.amk.ca/sherlock-holmes/2.html It’s relevant to me. I wouldn’t call it obscure either. I agree with Doyle.
Other people generalize; I use inductive reasoning.
Are you really interested to know what ills come from feminism?
No, my point was that the “good” things it’s credited with aren’t really good. It should never have existed.
I never disputed that he did. And of course you agree with him. It’s what you want to believe. The difference is, however, that I provided you with logical reasoning. When you call something an “exception,” you’re acknowledging that there is a rule.
Anyway, be careful. You’re coming very close to conforming to a stereotype.
I am in 100% agreement with you, if not more so!
Ah, then I apologize. I misunderstood.
Thanks professor. Is the lecture over now?
