so if you don ' t have a logical argument , you don ' t have the right to criticise ? that ' s absolutely absurd . you have the right to criticise anything you possibly want , you just don ' t have the right to act out on those criticisms in ways that detract from their lives . if i ' m the boss of a female worker , i ' m allowed to criticise her purely based on the fact that she ' s a woman , but i don ' t have the right to deduct her pay , harass or otherwise hold her back . criticism , in the grand scheme of things , harms nothing . if you ' re being criticised for wearing high heels , it sucks , and it shouldn ' t happen , but those people do really have a right to criticise you , if they want to . what ' s wrong is for them to try and stop you from wearing high heels or trying to obstruct your lifestyle choices in any way . dickheads are allowed to be dickheads , that ' s their right , whether we like it or not .
