“I am most anxious to enlist everyone who can speak or write to join in checking this mad, wicked folly of "Women's Rights," with all its attendant horrors, on which her poor feeble sex is bent, forgetting every sense of womanly feelings and propriety. Feminists ought to get a good whipping. Were women to "unsex" themselves by claiming equality with men, they would become the most hateful, heathen and digusting of beings and would surely perish without male protection. I love peace and quiet, I hate politics and turmoil. We women are not made for governing, and if we are good women, we must dislike these masculine occupations.”
What's your point here? That 100 year old ideas are universally true? Going to make the case for slavery next?
My point is that saying people should be whipped for their ideas seems a little outdated. Yours?
So which is it? Is whipping people for their personal beliefs right or wrong?
How do you define feminist? I follow the Joss Whedon definition, curious what yours is.
Why do you advocate for whipping? What would you do if someone tried to whip you for your beliefs?
I'm sorry, do people advocate for poverty now? The only people I know who advocate for poverty are hard-right conservatives, those who believe that wealth is "deserved" because they don't see the legs up that they get. Those are the same people who also think that "feminism" is a bad word and that we've got to "control those black people". Namely, people like you. I have a lot of choice words I could use here, but mostly I'm just disappointed. I'd hoped I'd never have to do this, but congratulations, you're the first non-bot that I've hushed in my year and a half on this website.
