ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is a sexist personal attack. Just because he doesn't say it directly to the woman he's talking about, that doesn't make it any less of a personal attack. Implying that women are irrational and overemotional whether because of "baggage" or not is sexist, it is a very old and tired sexist attack on women, and it has no place on DU.

Well, you among many. I just liked your thread title and thought it would make my point succinctly. JJChambers Aug 2014 #5

Instead of copycatting other people's titles, why not make up your own? nt redqueen Aug 2014 #7

A woman's right to choose, to be free from puritanicals trying to outlaw her choices, JJChambers Aug 2014 #21

You claiming to be concerned about feminist issues redqueen Aug 2014 #24

Should a woman not be free to choose what to do with her own body? JJChambers Aug 2014 #27

Yes, she should. But we can still critique the social context in which said choices are made. nomorenomore08 Aug 2014 #61

In other words, it's about the people who don't matter BainsBane Aug 2014 #14

Wrong. This is not complicated. redqueen Aug 2014 #11

Let me explain. We're having something called a debate. Kurska Aug 2014 #25

The commodification of the female body encourages men to think of women as property el_bryanto Aug 2014 #40
