I'm not saying it's an objective fact. I never once did. I understand how opinions work.

Nor am I saying that my opinions should be taken as the gospel truth. Often I have a shit take. I'm sure you have the occasional shit take. Everyone can have a shit take.

I'm saying my SUBJECTIVE opinions on a book I've read - anyone's subjective opinions for that matter - shouldn't be automatically and blindly invalided because the person offering it doesn't belong to a particular demographic.

and i never said they should be. my point is that there may be less weight to your opinion than you want simply because you are not familiar with the subject matter. so your opinion being invalidated could be because it is, in this case, a Shit Take and not a subjective opinion.

Well, that was my original point, so I guess that's that.
