* when you see your emotions as the basis and justification for a decision and trumping the rights and concern of others, such as feeling like a woman is reason enough to demand a biologically intact man getting to use women's changing rooms and women's shelters or someone feeling that others are somehow aggressive by their mere existence is justification for demanding segregation, in short, seeing those irrational and extreme feelings as a basis for forcing society to accommodate you
