Senator Reid-WON'T BACK DOWN-Explains WHY Armed Militia At Bundy Ranch Are "Domestic Terrorists"

31. I wish to respond to hidden post #13 regarding the vulgar use of words

Do or do we not want to live in a society where all of its members are actually equal?

The word 'pussy' as used here refers to someone who is weak and fearful, someone who needs the assistance of others in order to act bravely or 'manly'. This usage of that word creates on a subconscious level to far too many members of our society an acceptance that women are less than men.

Just as how the vulgar use of 'race' specific words were/still are used to consciously and on a societal scale subconsciously promotes inequality between people with differing skin color and just how the vulgar use of 'religion' specific words promotes in that same way inequality between people with differing religious philosophies, the vulgar use of gender specific terms harms women.

On a larger societal scale any society which has inequalities within it's membership that are based on race, religion and sex functions crippled in that it can never take full advantage of the actual strengths of it's entire membership. How much wisdom within our society never took root because the authors were 'less than white', how many wars has our society suffered through because those who took us to war were 'strong males' with little input from our maternalistic side and more specifically were 'not pussies'? I do not know the actual meaning of the word 'progressive' but I like to think it means having the non-biased desire to have all members of our society as equals and full access to the use of their individual wisdoms. THAT is the true strength of a democracy.

I know that there are better ways of getting across what I am trying to say here. This is the Big DU where most of us come to learn. I had hoped to see fellow DUers with a better grasp at explaining things chimed in for a valuable teaching/learning experience regarding how the vulgar use of gender specific terms like 'pussy' really and truly do bring harm/promote inequality to specific members of our society and actually hurts all of us. Understandably and yet sadly the post had already been hidden as I wrote this.
