What I gather from the linked conversation: (In regards to a joke where a boy turns out to have a polygamous dad)

Sure, but that’s universal. Most of the Islamic theocratic have this problem, and it’s a point of general focus… but Islam is their excuse, not a functional cause. It’s not like Mormons did it any better.

Islamic theocratics are not the same as muslims. Theocracy is where the law of one's god is seen as the ruling body, and tend to be more of the extremists of a religion - in Islam's case, the ones more likely to use religion as a weapon of power to have multiple wives. Nothing in that conversation came across as "Being pro-Islam is being anti-feminism".

I'd also point out, the user made several efforts to ask for better explanation from those disagreeing, but everyone was just digging for more words from him instead of discussing openly. This is how disagreement is manufactured.

It’s a consistent pattern of behavior from that person, which is why one thread might seem like people are overbearing. At some point you get sick of the disingenuous faux-intellectual “just asking questions”.

You're claiming a pattern, but so far I've only been pointed to one example. On the other hand, the other participant in that conversation, you, has been posting giant screengrabs of this individual where they are claiming...that we shouldn't generalize evil groups?

I'm all too aware of how people can "Sealion" the energy out of a discussion. But even your choice examples aren't painting yourself in the best light here, nor a very strong impression towards Zorque. I could yet be convinced, but not so far.
