Reply #22: I can understand that... [View All]

...but once again these are erroneous assumptions and inferences of the OP that you made yourself. Then, you attempted to project those erroneous interpretations onto me and Goff, and began asking that YOUR erroneous assumptions be defended -- by someone else who isn't responsible for them and who never made them. You did.

It makes no sense to defend against something that was never said or inferred (except in your mind, which I can only guess is some defensiveness and fear manifesting itself in your first response and I'm sorry you are feeling defensive about the issue).

You asked me: "Do YOU believe"...not "does Stan Goff believe...".

In your response you yourself made the inference that "men" means "ALL men". That was YOUR interpretation, not mine and not necessarily Stan Goff's. You'll have to defend your own (mis)interpretations of the OP, I cannot and will not do that for you.

Now off of this diversion that you've instigated and back to the OP topic:

I continue to agree with his general stance that patriarchy, male dominance, societal and parental teaching that women are inferior humans, and the male sense of entitlement in general are issues in today's society - issues that need to be acknowledged and dealt with, and I remain happy that he is doing that.
