It's like a doctor healing a patient who twisted an ankle instead of performing a surgery to save someone near death. It doesn't mean we shouldn't simultaneously fix the less important issue, but we should put more effort into the serious one(July 20, 2014 at 2:54 pm)Blackout Wrote: I also think feminists should start worrying more about States where women in fact have fewer rights and are treated below animals instead of worrying about society in the west having prejudices with women dressed with a top the size of a bra.That there are places on earth where things are even shittier is no reason to lay aside any particular place where they are still shitty, but arguably less so. If we avoided fixing problems until all other more egregious problems were addressed that would, itself - become an egregious problem.
And the stereotype attributed to women wearing tops the size of a bra is perfectly rational here. Stereotypes are not bad nor god, they just are. If most women wearing those tops wouldn't bang every guy on the block the prejudice wouldn't exist.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
