It is not necessary to understand things in order to argue about them.
Never run out on me again. No matter what happens, you stay and fight. Yell at me, argue, throw something at me, whatever you want to do, but never walk away from me. Promise me that.
As long as 85,000 women are raped every year and 400,000 sexually assaulted in England and Wales alone, it's hard to argue that there isn't a problem. Not to mention the fact that fewer than 13 of our MPs are female, that women write only 15 front page newspaper articles, that they're less than 110 of engineers and that 54,000 a year lose their jobs as a result of maternity discrimination. . . to name but a tiny sample of issues. It's not 'going too far' to demand equality, and we're certainly not there yet.

If you don't argue, you can't give in.
I like the idea that I'm making things that people might think and argue about.
We have this wild life experience that is full of fantastic minutiae and banal, huge events at the same time. Yet, all of it shrinks in the shadow of death. It's hard to argue with death as a game-changer.
It is time to cease to argue about God , and instead to unite in the unmasking of contemporary forms of idolatry.
You fight to win; you argue to achieve agreement.
So dogma, doctrine, unexamined assumptions, that's what it is to be sharing that, the hippies shadow, no way of grounding it to reality. It's where we're just cut off from reality unless we can argue, we can substantiate, we can justify, we can convince each other.
