if you're going to talk about universal principles, one thing to make them not so offputting would be to explain yourselves and not heap judgement on people that aren't familiar with them.

first, there is no scientific evidence that these principles are true, just as with religions in general.

second, there is nothing wrong with not knowing universal principles or teachings.

third, there is nothing specific to feminism about universal principles, so it shouldn't be assumed as common knowledge just because you post it in this group.
