quote:
ORIGINAL: Sissypinky I am not threatened by you. I have not asked you to abandon your interest in female supremacy. I have told you that I disagree with what you say and asked for substance behind your belief. You can feel inferior to your own shadow and celebrate that belief all you want. But when you pull me into your sense of inferiority by extending your belief to all men, I will disagree and call you on that. Your own analogy fails you. It is perfectly fine for you to like one type of woman and for me to like another. However, it is not fine when you say all men like the type of woman you like. If you say all men like the type of woman you like, it will not cause them to do so. Still, for you to say so would be wrong and you may be called for it. It would not be because they are threatened by your statement. It's because you make a statement about them which is not true. That is what you are doing here--you are taking your belief (that you want to position yourself to be inferior to women) and extending it to all men (that all men are inferior to women). This is a thread, not a poll where everyone simply comes and posts their preference; yay, I like female supremacy; boo, I don't like it; yay, I like it also; boo, I don't like it either. There is nothing wrong if I voice my opinion on a matter in the forums in agreement or disagreement and engage with others while doing so. I can especially do so if the matter conflicts with my fundamental beliefs, and if the matter speaks against me. If you can't handle debate, don't enter it. If you cannot explain your belief because you simply feel it in your bones or simply cannot articulate it, fair enough. Say that instead of giving a list of reasons you think men are inferior, and then saying you simply feel it in your bones when your rationale is questioned. You entered the debate by providing this list. Your logic about who can say what is circular and flawed. You can say something that is a generalization that includes me, but it is unreasonable of me to respond to disagree? I should just read your words (the initiating action), and do yoga and cheer for you or something. But when I write to disagree (a reaction to your action), it's as if you have poison ivy on your toilet paper. I can indeed articulate through words that I love. Men can think women are wonderous without invoking superiority and inferiority. Men can love and worship women without feeling inferior. Cheers, Sea
