ORIGINAL: MarcEsadrian Just as openly bashing that belief system is, no matter how "gently" one may do so in the professed spirit of sharing opinions. And I'm certain I needn't point out for a third time that I do not support foisting anything on anyone. Well, unless they wish it, of course. But....well...let's put it this way. Woman states her sex is superior to man and all man should bow down before all woman. Woman is now talking about my father, brothers, friends, dominant partner...and I find that insulting to insinuate that these men in my life should be inferior to her species. I see it no different than openly criticizing the FS for her belief system. To play fair, I would feel the same about Man saying all womankind should bow before them. I would feel the same about any particular religion stating the same (why I am so against christianity these days), or any race, and so on. I just can't personally support a sweeping "I'm better than you" attitude, no matter who it's attributed to. This particular thread is about FS. Were it about a different topic, I would likely be making the same claim. If a woman tells me she is superior to me by virtue of her sex, the burden of proof is upon her. I don't have to buy it, and I don't spend my time nursing a grudge over her claims—unless it has become something personal, of course. To carry on with your religious analogy, if we were to change the subject of this thread to Christianity: A Manifesto, I would feel the same way, and despite my secular ideals, will defend someone's right to believe what they want and express it. After all, unless it is harming me, how is it harming me? I realize I may be the minority in this sentiment, but I think we need to chill and consider more than a few glass houses in all our lives.
