- Spoken like a true scientist. Did you really mean to say this ? I suppose
- it was ok for the masses in Europe to "follow their instinct" and burn
- witches. Or for the Muslim's and Christians to "follow their instinct" and
- slaughter each other in the Crusades. Or the Klu-Klux-Klan to "follow
- their instinct" that negroes were sub-human and treat them accordingly.
-
- Males as a whole in this community still treat women like shit. No denying
- that. But if you are on a crusade to improve the situation I think you
- would be far better suggesting that males be forbidden from associating
- with each other in groups of more than 2 or 3, and forbidden from consumming
- alcohol. These measures might seem a little draconian (no more so than
- restricting the right of free speech that I don't have in this country) but
- would obviously be much more effective than your proposal.
-
- Of course I don't need any evidence to make this suggestion. I just looked
- at my instinct.

- Utter bullshit.
-
- Recognize yourself for what you are - a well meaning moralist who has no idea
- what he is talking about, but still wants to tell me what to do.
