But when you cannot refute an argument you do not like, do you always insult the person making the argument?

SOB is technically referring to a mother, but in general usage it has nothing to do with mothers any more than motherf***er (which would be what - a father?).

What makes the story about the Titanic absurd? "Women and children first" does not discriminate against men, even when it defines a nine year old boy as a man?

Which of my comments shows that I believe what I want to believe? You cannot give me the benefit of the doubt that I am believing what I see even if I do not see the whole picture? You cannot give me evidence that should convince me? My experience at the factories, schools and offices I have worked at are meaningless?

People like Charlotte Gilman, Vida Scudder, Emily Balch, and Emma Goldman are heroines to me as is my dad's mom (U of Wi class of 1926), but that does not mean I need to believe something that I have no evidence for. Name calling and labelling are not very strong evidence.
