What's your point there? That 100-year-old ideas are universally wrong? Going to make the case for poverty next?

See, two can play this game.

My point is that saying people should be whipped for their ideas seems a little outdated. Yours?

Grendel  ·  3428 days ago  ·  link  ·  

The fact that it's outdated is irrelevant as to whether it's right or wrong.

So which is it? Is whipping people for their personal beliefs right or wrong?

Grendel  ·  3428 days ago  ·  link  ·  

Whipping is good enough for most people, but for feminists I'd recommend hormone therapy. Heavy doses of testosterone.

What the fuck

And to what end?

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.
