> But the conceiving of this as a privacy problem brings the wrong solutions. It means we are offered tools to remove ourselves from public view, to restrict our public personas, to retreat from public life. It means women are again confined to private sphere, denied civic life.
Yes, welcome to real life.
Where I can't say I'm an atheist back home because I will get beheaded. Or say what I think of capital accumulation in SF because I will never work again.
And if you take the cowards way out of "We should only protect people for what they are and not what they do", being a woman in this day and age is a choice on par with being blond or a socialist.

These are bad things, right? Like you want to live in a society where this doesn't happen, I assume? Or are you saying this is all right and proper?
- buzzkillington 7y agoI want to live in a society where I can live my life as I see fit in private with as little performance art in public as possible. The idea that your public persona should be anything like your private one is so wrong its laughable. Right now SF is giving most of the middle east a run for it's money for the number of things no one believes but pretends to so they aren't killed - or worse become unemployable and homeless.
