Why do you all fuel each other like you do?

Question

Granted, I've only been browsing this section for about half an hour, but what I've seen is pitiful. Almost all you do is try to incite anger in each other for no damn reason. It's almost as though you think your gender, as a whole, is simply superior to the other, and you are obligated to prove that fact by bashing the other. I've seen people grasp to the smallest bit of evidence they could despite a world saying otherwise, and others never even putting forth the effort to research something, deciding instead to flame the asker with opinions and insults. Maybe it's just that I'm from a section where questions generally have definite answers that can't really be affected by bias, or maybe you all just come here to argue. Whatever the reason, it doesn't really bode well for the future of humanity if all you do is squabble. And I know you've probably had dozens of these kinds of questions in the past, but that doesn't make it any less valid.

I think some of the men on GS don't know what they want from women...

They think "equal" is acting/being just like a man...and others still believe being "equal" is acting/being like a woman...

Bet you got a good ole case of the whiplash, eh?

Well, many people who enjoy conflict between people of utterly opposing opinions will watch Big Brother. Others prefer a more active role in the debate! Yes the 'why are men stupid' and 'why are all women whores' questions are sad but many people raise good points and even tho we don't convince each other very often it can be quite insightful at times. Even the nasty ignorant questions can get some good answers. Religion and spirituality section is good too.

I don't think a half hour in any section gives you the right to judge it. I've been here for a really long time and I like this section. If you don't have a point, want to be entertained or like debate, you might have come to the wrong place.

Actually, there are some really great people here.  The trolls tend to be the most vocal (textwise), so you'll get a full dose of them.

Baiting isn't fun, but debating sort of is. 

 I mean, I rarely get to talk about this stuff with live friends, you know?  Some of it cuts too close to the bone, and would hurt relationships and feelings.  But with you lot?  I don't REALLY care if I hurt your feelings.
