It didn't go over my head. I don't agree with it. That's a different kettle of fish. surely you're intelligent enough to understand the difference, but if you need help, just ask; I'll happily oblige, so long as you shitcan the condescension.

Love is a special and intimate emotion I do not extend to strangers.

Change the labels in this quote to women, minorities, gays or children being brainwashed by religions and it shows what we should be thinking and doing for each other.
The problem with this line of reasoning is that females in the church choose their lot. If a church, any church, tries to promulgate its beliefs through legislation, of course I will speak up. But for women who willingly accept subservience, what would you suggest I do? Kidnap and deprogram them? Freedom of conscience means that people are free to be as stupid as they wish.

This quote is a non-sequitur in the context of our discussion, because as you may have noticed, we aren't gathering women up and entraining them to camps where they are gassed to death.
