Feminism Theory is a murky fecal quagmire and she is stained by her association.
Not a dig?
I misunderstood.
You did. It was an explanation.
i would say that makes sense, but Aussies are spawned from criminals and cannot be trusted.
See my point? Your point has nothing to do with being Australian. Hers has nothing to do with feminism. It was a completely unrelated topic.
Your point about your PM was valid, because the point was about the government and the surveillance state, which, by association, his job is directly related.
No that does not make sense. Why not?
"Aussies are spawned from criminals"
Now I could tell you that Aussies were not all spawned from criminals. Even barring the fact that many Aussies are Aboriginal or from Aboriginal stock, many Aussies are actually "spawned from free settlers. More people came to our shores through gold rush, pearl diving, to buy up stations and farmsteads, and general immigration than the few hundred "criminals". Which in itself would kind of shoot a rather large hole example BUT you may say, "Ok, whatever, but the point is still cogent"
Except that it is not. Why? Because even were my forefathers criminals (have not found any criminal flavour yet which is a shame), you would still have your work ahead of you trying to show that my criminal ancestors somehow unimind with me to inform my choices AND see evidence of the same untrustworthy preoccupations. Furthermore you are probably aware that most ofthe poor convicts of the first fleet were at best petty criminals and only steal to live and living in untenable squalor and poverty.
Nice try.
But to be fair. Are there non-feminists who I would respond in a similar way for reasons not to do with feminism but because I thought them untrustworthy based on their world view, beliefs, values and what i have seen of them?
Absolutely.
Dalai Lama.
George Bush
Charles Manson
Geraldine Dawson
Jenny McCarthy
Lindsay Lohan
Paris Hilton
These people I have various reason unrelated to Feminism that i would not trust them EVEN if what they said sound perfectly rational, logical and reasonable. I would have actual reasons to not trust them based on what i know of them and the values, beliefs or worldviews they hold.
Maybe if I did this you would say, you are just having a dig over, reincarnation belief, stupidity, psychopathic disorders, Autism Speaks agenda, generation rescue, crack whores or airheads. I possibly would disagree and show you a list similar to the above except it would not contain the person we were discussing and instead be replaced with "Naomi Wolf".
