I feel like you blokes are so close to getting the point yet still miles away

Having a less valid opinion is not a wholesale dismissal of said opinion. Put your ego on pause for a moment and absorb that.

No amount of education or study can subvert the lived experience.

Someone who has extensively studied something, even earned a degree on the matter, should certainly have a certain weight behind their opinion over some rando with an "uneducated" opinion.

Same can be said for the lived experience.

Should an academic be given more credit when voicing an opinion on something that they've studied? Sure. But at the end of the day, the affected individual's opinion should have the most consideration.

It bears repeating since ya'll seem hung up on this, that doesn't mean ya'lls opinions go straight in the trash. It simply means they don't matter as much as the person who is directly affected by actions that take place once opinions are put to legislation.

Take a breath, check your ego, realize you're not 100% wrong but that you are in fact wrong, and learn from this:

A man's opinion on abortion means less than a woman's opinion.

I'll keep explaining it if I have to.
