- R0b0t1 6y agoWhile I don't really think the comment is appropriate through this thread, throughout human history most men did not have children so it is not entirely inappropriate. What conclusions you draw from it may be inappropriate. There's part of the old testament that focuses on giving young men advice to not being taken advantage of by society and specifically women, so the sheer length of time OP's complaints have existed is noteworthy.
- chowned 6y agoYour personal feelings about women are noted and discarded, thank you.
- BigBubbleButt 6y agoAnd slavery has been around for the length of humanity and still exists today. That doesn't mean it's appropriate. Ultimately it's subjective and a value judgment. You do you. EDIT: I shortened OP's "not entirely inappropriate" to "appropriate"
- R0b0t1 6y agoWhat is even the point of that comparison? There's a difference between misogyny and protecting yourself from hardship.
- BigBubbleButt 6y agoDoesn't misogyny create hardship for half the human race?
- xwdv 6y agoAppropriate for what? Discussion?
- FooBarBizBazz 6y agoIf you can figure out which book, chapter, and verses you refer to, I would be interested to know. Maybe Proverbs chapter 6 [1]? I think that would enhance the discussion (even if this subthread would become a bit of a tangent). It's generally good to go to the primary source even if you don't follow the religion in question. If we are talking about Proverbs 6, then -- what it has to say /could/ be spun as misogynistic, but it isn't very, really: The message (in regards to women) is to avoid adultery; the metaphor is that practicing adultery will cost you much more than visiting a prostitute (of which it presumably also does not approve). It is the kind of thing you could imagine a mother, nanna, auntie, or babushka giving to a young man as advice. Seems commonsensical enough. If you had something else in mind though, it would be great if you could share.
