As far as your points on the importance of women's rights, of

to call people on sexist language for its own sake, not because
it has been linked to violence. In my neighborhood it is violence
that is linked with violence.
In fact I'll join you by condemning two of the most sexist people
in history, the Holy Tradition's own Shankara, and the woman-
phobic Guru Dev. The Crest Jewel of Discrimination is one of the
most sexist scriptures on the planet.
"A wise man views women as corpses, bags of urine and feces."
Shankara
What a saint!
And Guru Dev's refusal to be in the same room with any women sent a
terrible message to women and men who looked at him as a spiritual
leader.
I would think any woman who is serious about women's issues would
want to join me in condemning these two men.
Bingo.
That's the real issue, the one that the pseudo-
feminists on this forum are skirting.
It's "misogynist" to call a person who is acting
like a cunt a cunt (see the following post for a
definition of that word)
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/message/194179
but it's just FINE to suggest that one should think
of women as corpses to protect one's fragile male
sensibilities.
I guess the Fairfield Life Femi-nazis never heard the saying 'when
you point a finger at someone, there's three fingers pointing back at
you'.
They seem most likely to be women without current male relationships--
at least one has never had a long-term male relationship. And so they
come across as
"men haters", misandrists, but it seems to largely stem from sexual
frustration and personalities not suited to balanced male
relationships. In the absence of a balanced relationship and
something to fill the hole in their lives, they resort to projection.
It seems to me the term misogynist is used in too loose a sense by
our FFL Feminazis. Instead of being about men who hate women--truly a
rare breed--it's more about 'things men say that we don't like and
feel threatened by'. And since they have no balanced relationship in
their own life, the resort to their own jilted center with which to
see the world.
