Stupid Woman - Stupid People

[pErvinalia]

Initially I thought "woman", then I went to "people", but now thinking "woman". To be honest, it looks like woman at the start of the word, but people at the end of the word. Maybe he said stupid womaple.

Not getting the context here...

I used to think that all the pseudoscience marketed more heavily toward women indicated that women were easier 'marks', and stupider, so more likely to fall for homeopathy, chiropracic or crystal healing.

Then I learned about who makes most of the spending decisions in Canada and the US. This yielded a MUCH less sexist answer.

Women aren't stupider - at least not according to this bit. They are simply making more of the spending decisions.

I was almost deaf as a kid for a period and lip read quite a lot. I read it as 'stupid wople'. He knew he was about to land in the shit.

Whatever he said it was a welcome distraction from Brexit eh(?) - and at least it was something the Tories could all agree on!



Still, holding people to account for what they mutter under their breath is a bit pernickerty - a bit like a thought crime, in a way, kinda...

A lot of do about nothing.

Holding people to account for what they say clearly with full breath can be a bit shitty, too.

We have started to see the results of this problem, in people being de-platformed for opinions they express. If you don't ever express a 'wrong' opinion, how would you EVER learn that it was wrong?

I don't mind people saying things. Words are a great arena to duke it out in. Without them, most people end up turning to something else.

Now, lets see...what is left for people to do with their disagreement when words are not allowed?

So in the absence of the freedom to say any old shit you like no matter how offensive people will turn to - what?

Once we are out of words, Rum, all that is left is force.

If someone who you loved thought homosexuality was damaging, would you simply dismiss them from your life? Or would you think discussing your difference of opinion might be valuable?

If you dismiss, eventually, you (and the homo-damaging believer) both settle in to groups where no-one disagrees, and you both spend your golden years being right, and enjoying quiet. Unless the issue comes to force (such as a vote on gay marriage is 'force' of democracy), then neither of you have taken the time to learn about the other, and whoever has the biggest force wins.

Is it so hard to figure out?

I'm just claiming that discussion, even difficult discussion, is preferable to almost all the other alternatives.

You are, of course, welcome to a different opinion. You can even express it if you can do so without being insulting (here) or with being insulting, if you want a venue more lax about that, I know a place.

I imagine "Stupid Cunty McCuntface" would also be problematic.

Is it ok to say 'stupid woman'? Is it worse if there is a gaggle of fucking idiots, and you say 'stupid women'?

Is it ok to say 'stupid liberals'? How about 'stupid forum posters'?

[Svartalf]

stupid woman is politer than 'silly cunt".
