21. Really?

I thought I was trying to point out the horrible travesty of the patriarchal laws and society. Especially in my comments about how biology does not make one a parent and I offered examples of what I think does make a parent.

I don't see how asking the question about if or how laws have been changed since women became legislators is an affront or challenge to women. It was an honest inquiry and I hoped the response to be that a lot of those laws have been reformed in a positive way. You are obviously reading my inquiry in a negative way in which it was not intended. It shows your bias to others.

Now, more directly addressing your statements. I'm not allowed to make a challenge in your group? I'm not allowed to challenge people to discuss or defend their positions whether they are male or female? You don't "need it" in this group? Does that mean you only want sycophants in your group who agree with your every word?

No, your posts are the ones that are weak and uninteresting because you seem to feel I should not challenge you and post in this forum just because you are female.
