(53,032 posts)Where did I imply it?
The last thing approaching an insult that I made to you was the swipe about James C Calhoun. Compare that to this entire subthread in which you have repeatedly insulted me.
I have spelled out my ideas. I find it disconcerting that you consider disagreement with you an insult. This post linked below in particular was very clear and had nothing close to an insult. I explained my views and my interpretation of your responses. When you respond to posts about coercive labor by talking about choice, it does make one wonder. However it increasingly seems that you are more interested in projecting issues and ideas onto me than understanding my views.
I'm well aware of your argument, yet you seem to have no familiarity whatsoever with mine.
You see this as an issue about the porn consumers sexual freedom and choices and interpret speaking out against the genre of rape porn as authoritarianism. (How my right to speech is a violation of your rights, I can't begin to imagine.) You insist women have the right to make choices to appear in porn. I wish you would be so respectful of my choices and my thoughts rather than telling me I'm not a real feminist because I disagree with you.
If you decide you want to know what I think, I suggest you revisit this post, which explains it as carefully as succinctly as possible. Mentioning rape culture is not a personal accusation against you. It is central to how I see the issue. If you refuse to accept I have a right to frame the debate in the way that meaning to me, we can't possibly converse.
