Sexism in the Philosophy PDF thread

the owl was mocking shadows🙂

Andrew Booth29 said:I’d love for my esteemed colleague bluecyclist64 to actually elaborate on his position here. Is he suggesting that women are incapable of evolving into higher beings while men can? Or is he arguing that neither gender has that capacity? Honestly, whatever his answer turns out to be, I suspect he'll have quite a lot of explaining to do at the next Communist Party USA meeting. He’s either being a total sexist or a complete reactionary.

First off, let's clear the air for the benefit of the other forum members: neither of us holds the other in any particular esteem.
The evolution of the female being is explained in exhaustive detail on the following pages, so I have nothing further to contribute there.
Slow down with those jokes about "party meetings"; I don't belong to any political party or faction. Perhaps you're smelling the ghost of the Communist Party USA, which was the one to grant women equality back in the mid-20th century? If that's the case, I suppose I can understand your aversion and distaste for "the party."

Brian Gray5 said:So, basically, this lady believes humans—women included—evolved from animals simply by hooking up without any social strings or moral hang-ups attached? Good for her for being so liberated. And good luck to her husband, assuming he managed to snag her during that "animalistic" phase. He must be feeling pretty zen, much like Šeks, having such a free-spirited and independent woman by his side.

Why not? I get the impression his wife is absolutely thrilled.

Dammit, you banned user; I think you need a much stronger impression to realize you should stop addressing me altogether.

I have no idea why the mods don't react to the fact that you're just a clone of a permanently banned user, nor does it particularly bother me. However, I am certain you remember me telling you quite explicitly to stay out of my life. It was an exceptionally perceptive and polite request, made without any unnecessary drama.

placidorca16 said:Our friend Letec left you a comment over in Philosophy regarding her take on all this, so go ahead—have a read:

Huge thanks to Letec for her support, her principles, and for standing up as a woman and a feminist—proving that her name won't be used to serve someone else's dirty agenda, despite the moderator's unfortunate attempts here!🧐🙂

I appreciate you quoting Letec, who holds some partial influence within the PŽK. It’s quite obvious, though, that Andrew Booth29 was completely out of his depth when he attempted to misrepresent her perspective on the matter.
It’s the exact same Andrew Booth29 who’s been advising you to steer clear of him following everything that’s gone down lately...
What kind of trouble are we talking about here, Andrew Booth29? Are the mods actually going to come after my friend placidorca16 just because I’ve been acting like a bit of a jerk? I have to wonder—is there some sort of database you guys maintain where you track users based on how questionable their friends might be?

Andrew Booth29 said:I think I’ll take the advice of my esteemed colleague Letec—it’s probably for the best—and I’m asking the forum administration to please remove me from the moderation team for both forums I currently oversee. Thanks...

What would Grunf say to that? "Better to retreat with honor than to win like a coward."
You’ve run out of things to say, and let’s be honest here—it’s getting obvious. That loss clearly eats at you far more than any loss of honor or integrity ever could.
Fair enough, I think you're onto something there. I'm on board with the idea.👍

Whether it’s a literal flood or some metaphorical locust plague, whatever chaos decides to descend upon us—you can always count on him to be the one reliable constant.😈

Just be honest and admit you're the absolute worst among all the kids and leaders in this pub. 🧐 😁

Don't mention it, friend!🙂 I honestly don't get why certain officials here—people holding all the power and tools—are so terrified of a few regular users hanging out. We don't have any clout or tools to hurt anyone, so what's the fear? I really don't understand this anxiety toward public support for exposing such a disgraceful mess—something that went completely unnoticed on Philosophy, which you shared with me quite openly, and I thanked you for.😲 Since I truly think that kind of integrity is admirable coming from a "real" man—which is a rare sight on this forum—maybe it just bothers people when someone shows up with a spine, a sense of humor, and an actual imagination? It's not a crime, though I suppose emancipated women might find it refreshing.🕺🙂

I agree!

Regardless of the fact that, in this instance, I maintain that Andrew Booth29 didn't say anything wrong, and that he should stay as moderator!

The subject matter itself is inherently absurd, and I find it difficult to believe that anyone with any sense of self-respect would choose to participate in such a discussion. It is equally insulting to women and men who possess even a modicum of intelligence. Furthermore, it serves as an affront to the very concept of being a person, regardless of one's gender.

Lock this thread, leave us to Andrew Booth29, and let's all move on peacefully.

Oh, brilliant.^

Most of what we spend our lives doing is basically just one big farce... but the version where idiots call the shots is 🤣

@placidorca16, you're the spice of life 😂

When I brought up the history of this forum, I was thinking back to, well, maybe 2013 or 2014—back when a few certain characters from the Midwest managed to push this place way beyond its usual borders. Perhaps I’ve mixed up some of the handles; it’s been years, and those old memories tend to bite.
Since that specific situation was viewed as an overreach—an actual stifling of free speech, if you will—I’d rather avoid linking myself to the main protagonists of that mess, purely for practical reasons.

If that's how you feel, then why on earth did you decide to jump into the fray yourself?

Doesn't a person occasionally get caught up in something they know is idiotic? 😁

For instance, I know I end up drinking with the frat guys sometimes. And in those moments, I'm fully aware of how much of an idiot I'm being... 🤣

steelridge58 said:If that's how you feel, then why on earth did you decide to jump into the fray yourself?

It is simply because I am deeply sensitive to the subject of abortion and women's psychophysiological health.

I have already shared everything I had to say over the course of four posts.

1. Personally, I believe everything should be examined scientifically, and we should give our fellow forum members a chance to weigh in.

2. You seem to be opening a poll somewhere (maybe in some sub-group or the PŽK)

Asking whether hiddenpuma75 is the leader of the pub crowd during our philosophy discussions—well, let's see what people actually think.

Actually, maybe I'll just start one myself. I've already got a few options floating around in my head:

a) Yes, he is
b) No, he isn't
c) It's both yes and no
d) Neither yes nor no
e) All the regulars at the pub are men
f) This isn't a pub; it's a scholarly forum
g) There are women part of the pub crowd too

Kate James14 said:@placidorca16, you're the spice of life 😂

placidorca16 without Apemant isn't half as interesting 😁

It’s just those classic debates between placidorca16 vs. Apemant that give this forum its real flavor 😁

It’s basically like watching Alien vs. Predator 🤣

I’m calling on Apemant to step up and use that incomparable Socratic method of theirs to set things straight around here 🧐

There is an old saying: "Keep playing the music, and eventually you'll run out of breath."😁

In all seriousness, you really ought to work on developing the second half of that wisdom.🧐 😁

mistybison and hiddenpuma75. You two really need to take this to your private DMs 🙂
