I chose not to respond as you wish seriously because my comment was clearly facetious, because I have made the same facetious comment about idiotic bloggers of both genders in the past, and because I think an accusation like the one you leveled - one that ignores most of what I've actually said in the past - is insulting.Balbulicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909755014063452689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-5635379180440056702009-08-30T21:06:27.416-04:002009-08-30T21:06:27.416-04:00There are a few things happening here, liberal sup...There are a few things happening here, liberal supporter.<br /><br />1) I've jokingly questioned the reproductive fitness of Richard Evans, Canadian Sentinel, and Neo Conservative in a mock-horrified "Oh God, Don't Let Them Reproduce" tone. That's not a gender joke.<br /><br />2) I'm getting the same vibe here as I get from the folks who say that criticizing Israel, or a Jew, is "anti Semitic", or that criticizing Bush's foreign policy is "anti American", or that criticizing Sarah Palin is "misogynistic". Sorry, I won't take that. <br /><br />3) I am not a chauvinist, I am not a sexist, and I am not a misogynist. I think that lazy, political use of those terms in discussion weakens them, just as lazy use of the term "anti-semitic", weakens it - and in both cases, overuse is dangerous. These words mean something, they describe dangerous things.Balbulicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03909755014063452689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-85889498816914652272009-08-30T21:05:57.133-04:002009-08-30T21:05:57.133-04:00Why?

No,...<i>That's the entire basis of your assertion</i>?<br />No, she noticed these people are women and wanted to know if you only talk of childrens aid when it's a woman. The Evans example was sufficient as evidence explaining you are an equal opportunity basher. You only asserted such, without the example. The example provides plenty of context to explain why the children's aid meme flows so readily.<br /><br />The main reason I am paying attention to this exchange is that our political opponents try all the time to derail discussion by asking questions such as deBeauxOs did initially. I don't think she was setting a trap but I know the fright wingers do. We need to get better at stopping this when it is used as a channel change attempt.<br /><br />Case in point, the cries of sexism when the Palinator is criticized. We have to be prepared to quickly turn aside the sexism claim, and keep hammering away at the fact that she is a religious fundamentalist anti choice ignoramus.liberal supporterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129945625510633921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-23785369775397370952009-08-30T20:46:06.649-04:002009-08-30T20:46:06.649-04:00I'd like her to confirm it.

Then Balbulican said... <br /><i>“Does anyone actually know who these people are? <br />Do they have children? If so, has Children's Aid been contacted?”</i><br /> <br />I asked if such comments were directed to male rightwing bloggers because up until that point, the notion that the views they expressed in their blogs made them the type of parents that should be investigated was not on the horizon.<br /><br />A simple ‘Yes, this point has been raised about Dickie Evans.’ would have sufficed. liberal supporter eventually said so much, after balbulican cranked up the chauvinistic and yes, sexist rhetoric.<br /><br />Working poor and/or single mothers and/or women living on social assistance have a greater risk of being reported to Children’s Aid because of their life situations. A childless couple wanted to adopt my aunt (she was 3 years old) and to do so, filed a complaint that my widowed grandmother was neglecting her children. <br /><br />These <a href="http://scathinglywrongrightwingnutz.blogspot.com/2009/08/fake-pregnancy-centres-create-fake.html" rel="nofollow">"crisis pregnancy centres"</a> operate on the assumption that women who they “persuade” to not have abortions are unfit mothers and so they pressure them to abandon babies so christian families can adopt.<br /> <br />Thus the ‘suggestion’ that these two particular bloggers (whose opinions and lies, imho deserve to be smacked down) are IRL bad mothers seems chauvinistic and sexist to me. As was the subsequent attack on me for daring to say so.<br /><br />To quote balbulican: “I think something basically and essentially human is being violated by small and vulgar minds for the sake of a cheap political point. And if that’s true, I can’t allow myself to do the same thing. <br />It can’t ALL be about scoring points. We have to hang on to some shred of decency in all this.”deBeauxOshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331662556005876488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6708375.post-49112323969163710482009-08-30T20:11:32.090-04:002009-08-30T20:11:32.090-04:00"Merci.
