  • Field Theory: The old mail bag,

    You are no different from the men who commit similar assaults: you justify your behaviour by the times and you refuse to accept responsibility for your actions. Most of your victims thought it was hilarious. Those who thought otherwise can be forgotten. In any case, you can justify it as Feminist dialectic and protecting yourself from rapists. And of course, you are not proud of it, you just want to shout about it on two threads at once.

    "Only three people understood the Schleswig-Holstein Question. The first was Albert, the Prince consort and he is dead; the second is a German professor, and he is in an asylum: and the third was myself — and I have forgotten it."

    Jackie is clearly not proud, or is that another bit of a double standard?

    Doubtless the dirty old men who grope schoolgirls also say they are doing their victims some good. To their credit, at least they do not redefine their lechery as political activism.

    I guess you had to be there.

    I'm glad I wasn't. I have been sexually assaulted in that way and, y'know, I didn't come away with the impression that I was a rapist. In fact, it didn't make me think about the Patriarchy at all. I was to busy feeling sullied and humiliated, as sexual assault victims do.

    Oh well, at least you enjoyed yourself.

    You'll know me by my smoking jacket.

    You'll know Sam by his robe and wizard hat.

    I had not realised, until now, that sexual assault could be a feminist statement.

    One learns so much in this community.

    WH, no need to apologise, although it is gracious of you to do so. As Hilary says, this community is much better at the x y and z than many others.

  • The New World Order: A Visual Guide,

    Yeah, but those people love cops. And it's hard to imagine looking at a picture from the memorial service like this one and not reflecting on your own role in these things.

    Not that hard when you are not a reflective person; I doubt these people are psychologically equipped to take responsibility, let alone see cause and effect.
