Skiing down the slippery slope

OK Elaine,

You must have taken that bumpersticker seriously. The one that says:

Teenagers -- Leave home now while you still know everything.

Critical Thinking
Part 2 - Slippery Slope

Wherein the person implies that if you believe such and such it will lead to thus and so and eventually it will lead to "the end of the world as we know it".

This is known as the slippery slope argument. A classic example of this is the "Domino Theory" that was used to justify the War in Vietnam. But you were still floating around in the ethers back then waiting for a suitable body to exploit. : )

If some of us are against you censoring someone's art then we are anti-feminist and women haters. Which means we are Pro-Lifers who only see women as baby factories for boys. That's very slippery. It's not me.

Not everything is black and white. I might be a feminist but not agree with your interpretation of what that means. You are one of the many possible kinds of feminists. You just happen to be very young and narrow-minded. You will grow out of it. Sorry if I sound patronizing, but I was where you are 35 years ago.

Did your Daddy beat you or molest you or abuse you? Did he take away the Visa card he gave you? Why are you so hateful of men? It's the powerful elite that run the world. 95% of men don't qualify as the elites. The elite have used some easily duped media types to turn class war into gender war. It takes the heat off them. That's my theory. Is there evidence support it? What do you think?

You say there are only a small number of men who are enlightened. You hate the rest. But you aren't sexist? What? Only men can be sexist? And I suppose only whites can be racist? I'm glad you've got it all figured out at such a young age.

In all seriousness. Your anger is going to hurt you. Please talk to someone who will listen and help you work through it. If you don't, it will eat you up inside. I know this from my own experience. If you don't believe me ask a wise feminist woman that you trust. One that has channeled her anger into something productive. If you hold on to your hatred it will come back at you in strange ways. Get rid of it. Channel it into something creative or helpful.
