“I can see how yours would be a psychologically useful perspective for some”
Thanks for the psychoanalysis, doc. You are a psychiatrist, right?
“but I’m happy with one”
Opinions that one is happy with are rarely correct.
“where each person is responsible for his or her own decisions and actions.”
a. There is nothing in what I have said that absolves people of personal responsibility.
b. No one lives in a vacuum. We all believe things we learned so long ago that we have forgotten that we heard them.
c. What I have posted is not a “perspective.” It is history.
What *I* do when someone tells me I have history wrong is go research the matter to see if I am in fact wrong.
What do you do?
Indeed, going back to the Book of Genesis, one can find histories in which a man or men says, “It’s the women’s fault!” This is irrelevant to the accuracy or inaccuracy of such claims.
End of conversation, at least on my end. Have a nice day.
