		<description>The object of studying philosophy is to know one&#039;s own mind, not other people&#039;s. You guys are missing all the points.</description>

		<description>Would now be a proper time for one of my quips about men acting like men so women will be free to act like women?? 

we have sexual roles to fill here people, lets not fight over who has to be bottom...because both of sexes are on top at one point during the only act that really matters (evolutionarily speaking) 

there, I hope somebody found that offensive. 


love...I mean...desire for copulation</description>

		<description>Gaia- 

I don&#039;t think i follow you. How can a crime be committed against someone who has already broken God&#039;s commands? If someone rapes a child then that person loses all privileges/rights. The question is how does one deal with such a person? send them to crime education? It&#039;s a difficult issue, because on the one hand we don&#039;t want to be too harsh (because we fear we might become harsh) and on the other road we don&#039;t want to be too lenient i.e., lock someone away for a short period of time knowing they might re-offend.</description>

		<description>What is the big picture though with regards to sex crime? If the small picture is all that has been looked at, then why is the bigger picture so different? 

Gender equality? What does that entail and why is it universally desirable? As long as man needs woman and woman needs man, there will be inequality to some degree. Inequality in the workplace and such is an unneccessary inequality, one that serves no purpose and can be eradicated. Pay, employment oppertunities, etc should be based on ability not gender. 

Floyds attitude towards women can be taken two ways: that he believes women to be emotionally inferior, or that he is being polite. I subscribe to the latter.</description>

I agree we need the big picture. But how small is the issue of sex crime?


When it elicits emotionally reactionary responses involving corporal punishment and castration from people who claim to be engaging in rational philosophical discourse, it is apparently too limited a scope for the discussion. I explicitly said that the issue was serious. So what is the purpose of this rhetorical one-up-manship (or one-up-womanship)? It could be interpreted as quite an offensive implication (that I am so uncompassionate and cold as to feel that sex crimes are trivial). Instead, I will assume that it is either a desire to keep the discussion based on emotional rather than rational appeals, or a desire to obtain social prestige by one-upping someone.</description>

		<description>I am going to throw the cat among the pigeons, and offer two quotes from Nietzsche (not necessarily my own views at all, he adds hastily, not wishing to come under the knife), and they may or may not shed some light on the situation. 

&quot; Has my definition been heard? It is the only one worthy of a philosopher. Love - in its means, war; at bottom, the deadly hatred of the sexes.&quot; 


&quot;Emancipation of women&quot; = that is the instinctive hatred of the abortive woman, who is incapable of giving birth, against the woman who is turned out well..........they want to lower the general rank of woman; and there is no surer means for that than higher education, slacks, and political voting-cattle rights. At bottom, the emancipated are anarchists in the world of the &#039;eternally feminine,&#039; the underprivileged whose most fundamental instinct is revenge.&quot;</description>

		<description>The resentmant. O.K well you stated that this woman was preventing you from seeking knowledge and that she was stiffling progress(?) All this from one little quip she blurted out? I can&#039;t even take from what she said that she dosn&#039;t like you. If she does like you, you wouldn&#039;t notice cause you&#039;re busy playing &#039;captin save-a-hoe&#039;- taking fukin feminest courses. I&#039;m not buying it. P.S On the behalf of &quot;as a male maybe I owe It to shut the hell...&quot; don&#039;t say that on my account brother. You and me in a boat? Nuh, uhh!</description>

		<description>Ok, I was suggesting looking at the big picture. I am sure that you feel this way, and have observed other men treat women this way. I didn&#039;t know of any studies on sentencing variations bteween men and women, but if there are inequalities then they should be fixed too. By assuming that women&#039;s feelings are &#039;more fragile&#039; than men&#039;s, you are actually perpetuatiing a derogatory stereotype. Both men and women deserve equal courtesy and equal opportunity to display emotional toughness. 

It astonishes me that people don&#039;t recognise a problem that can be clearly empirically demonstrated.</description>
