snakybus said:Jane: it seems to me it's not true that men think women are whores and liars. Seems to me that that could be considered inflammatory language, designed to incite....oh I dunno, internet aggression? And it seems to me you are quite, quite aware of this. I think that's the point that Pete is making. It's also the point egg made.
Well I don't agree with you on this, and I know I'm not the only one. Just so we're clear, I'm specifically talking about this quote, not anything else:jane said:What, like if we discuss gender, we have to pretend this isn't true? Because it is.
Underneath all the 'sanctity' of life is an underlying attitude, one which bolsters all of Western Christian philosophy, that women are all whores unless they are adequately civilised by men, and that we are liars until validated by a man (or a collective paternalistic unit like a courtroom), and that we will kill our own children if given half a chance.
You don't think that maybe his reasoning (whether you agree with him or not) was precisely what he said: people would lie. Not because they're women / "unruly liars and whores", but because it's what people do. Nothing more.... the comments of Michael McDowell about how abortion can't be allowed in the case of rape because 'it will result in an increase in false accusations of rape if that were the means of access to abortion', are based around the concept that women are unruly liars and whores.
jane said:I said that there existed within society attitudes about men and women and masculinity and femininity that are harmful to everyone.
snakybus said:Are you really, really saying you haven't used language to incite aggression? When you say that men wouldn't like what you would advise be done to their sexual organs, for example?
come clean, come on
Be the Hokey said:there exist in society attitudes about anything you feckin want.

oh and another thing - you say "society" considers women to be whores / liars. How many women think that?
jane said:Dude, the fact is, the anti-choice camp does, yes, talk about unborn babies. But how about the absolute and utter reality that many of these people are the same people who also demonise single mothers? How do you explain that? Because if they really believed that it was all about babies, then they would value all of the born, of all ages, equally, and because they would value them all equally, they would have a lot more trouble than they do placing the lives of the unborn before those of the born. ?
