Of course the situation is way more complex.
But, you see, I meet basically two kind of women:
1. The ones who are smart, honest and open-minded - like you - and with them I can openly discuss any matter in reasonable ways. These includes my friends and partners, of course.
2. The ones who are obsessed with their ideology, closed-minded and one-sided, often man-hating (this includes lots of feminists). With these no reasonable discourse is possible, hence I often use extreme examples to demolish their wobbly thesis or expose their contradictions.
I 100% agree with your last statement. :-)
