(110,159 posts)when a poster cheers flynt. standing with flynt. in a thread cheering porn. what would you expect as a response? a nice sugar coated sweetness of "pretty woman" wrapped in a bow not to offend so it is easily digested by those defending? or reality.
a thread cheering prostitution and porn is good. women are not allowed to not only not be offended, but they are not even allowed to call it out to be good liberals and all, and not a prude, frigid, anti sex. this is the position i am working from. and in giving the example of why flynt is a misogynist ass.... one would have to state what he has done and said. like. putting women in a meatgrinder.
now. that is simply a factual statement. yet.... another would say , you are so angry. not really. i am stating a fact. has nothing to do with my emotional state.
you will not find me defining anothers emotional position. i merely made a statement. no anger involved. you defined me as angry. that is not my reality. what i was, was blunt.
what i am often, is blunt. i do not do the tipy toe nicety to make it more easily digested. i do give facts. and when talking about a misogynist, or an industry of degrading women, why would one insist i sugar coat it to make it more easily digestible? totally defanging my argument. it is the very degradation i discribe that is the very issue we are talking about.
do i feel angry here and now?
