Women

[bunkerchief]

You basically quoted a man that says women are lesser beings and then asked if that was why the sexes can't get along. Very inflamatory.

Oh and as just me, not the all-powerful supermod, I have to say I've been outsmarted by women a hell of a lot more often then by men.

I quoted Schoppenhauer for a reason apart from him being is a great philosopher, he posited, desire comes prior to thought and will, prior to being and that humans are eternally tormented by desire. Well you can take the reasoning from there.

In his essay on women he claimed that 'women are by nature meant to obey'. While not every woman is a sub and not every sub is a woman, for the most part in bdsm it is women that are subs so you can see, my choice of Schoppenhauer is apt.

This is a BDSM forum isn't it?

I noticed a lack of debate on the board so I thought I would start one in the appropriate section of the board. This is the Religion and Philosophy section isn't it?

Is letting me know you are a super-mod a mild threat telling me I should pat the back of the person who posted before me? ;-)

After a particularly nasty experience with a woman I had a relationship of so

no I haven't had a recent bad go-round with the opposite sex

rts with

Um I'm confused? As for the quote from Schoppenhauer to say this before it:

I was reading Schoppenhauer who is a bit of a misogynist

Is blatantly inflammatory. If in fact he did say that he's one of the greatest mysogynists to walk the earth! Now that's being polite.....

I don't mind a bit of debate, check my previous post- however to me, this isn't the way to discuss things, nor does it seem constructive. I don't doubt you have a point somewhere in there, but to me it's swamped by a pervading hatred of all women.
Maybe you could clarify your point in a more um, diplomatic way?

Look forward to a genuine debate anytime.

That is a prejudice brought to the debate, the automatic assumption that the preposer of the debate holds the position of the proposal.

As for the negative experience, I didn't say it was recent, I just said I had one which was really part of the introduction to the debate and what brought the idea of the debate to mind.

The truth is and I really don't think this has a place in such a debate is that I have only found one woman objectionable in my life and as the father of two daughters I do everything in my power to make sure they have a rich and rewarding life.

However, I don't think personal sentimentality brings justice to a rigorous debate which is what I was hoping for.

Not at all. It's a promise that if this thread or any of your others degenerates into stupid flames I will shut it-and you-down. You claim here and elsewhere that you want to start debates. Okay great. I love a good debate. Insult is not debate. Sarcasm is not debate. How about answering some of the questions posed to you instead of just defending your right to piss people off?

OK, Now I have to work but I'll be back later and answer some of the questions posed.
