Sorry, I don't intend to get into a disagreement with you, but I stand by my belief that calling a large group of women "sluts" and "stupid" because they make birth control decisions which you don't like is misogynistic. It reveals an attitude of paternalistic dislike for them, and one that is so deeply ingrained that the misogynist is probably unaware of it; it's been part of him so long and runs so deep that he believes that's "just the way things are".

If I've misapprehended you, I beg your pardon. Even so I would ask you to reconsider such blanket judgements, if for no other reason than they easily give a casual reader the impression which they gave me.

Best,

dgiovan

Fine, they are irresponsible and as a result have to abort babies, so I will call them future murderers.

On the contrary, I think it demonstrates a love for the 50 MILLION babies that have been murdered in the past 35 years.

I'm not here to make abortionists feel good about their agenda.
