That ought to get the capitalist pigs running!

What shall we do about it comrade?

You don't have to give me the benefit of the doubt. That's because even if sexism was "natural" that would not imply that it was "good" (i.e. the Naturalistic Fallacy). So no, it is NOT a "dangerous assumption" or "DEEPLY sexist" at all, assuming that you respect logic (and scientific evidence). All along I have said…

"The point I'm making is that intention is less important than outcomes. As you said (when you apparently changed your mind about what is really important) what matters is whether someone is justifiably offended."

I'm not a geneticist. Also, as I said, psychology/anthropology is still in its infancy. However, I still think it's a fairly reasonable assumption, though by no means proven.

Your analogy is bad because nobody is dying here, they are just getting offended. The stakes are much lower. The question, of course, is whether their offense is justified, and in my opinion it is only justified if somebody intentionally offended them. Remember the example I gave you of the Serbian guy kissing the…

No...that's the problem.

(1) Don't intentionally offend people with your clothing.

"I just can't get behind ignoring the cultural and historical context of clothing and items because I find those things interesting and because we don't exist in a vacuum."

Hopefully this is not how the oil supply graph will look like, of course substituting "conventional oil" for "CD sales" and "unconventional oil" for "Digital sales".

Well said comrade!

Everybody can wear what they want to wear, especially if it's not openly and unambiguously offensive. I don't like this costume either, but I have the decency not to tell people what they should and should not wear.

When I went to Egypt they greeted me with "Hello. Where you from? ... Welcome to Alaska!" It seems to be a huge joke around there. When I actually went to Alaska I recorded myself telling somebody "Welcome to Egypt!"

No. It is haram! When you wear the keffiyeh the throne of Allah shakes.

I completely agree with you but unfortunately I don't think this self-censorship mentality that the white people around here have will go away soon. Basically they're stuck to an ideology and their not open-minded enough to get out of it.

Finally.

Yep.

"My problem with your argument is that you are assuming that the way that our society is right or natural and I'm coming from a sociology/anthropology perspective where their really isn't a right or natural, there's just what is because what you or I consider to right or natural is highly influenced by the society…
