re: #129 Obdicut

Why ‘just as bad’?

It also is less harmful, though apparently you don’t think that.

For example, compare the default gender for pronouns being masculine to a law criminalizing the education of women. Would you say those are both equally harmful?

Well, what I mean are that very sexist concepts of women, such as our ability to reason or lead or be strong, that exist in the general culture. To me, criminalizing us being educated is simply a more extreme extension of that thinking. In my view, the underlying beliefs are still the ones doing the damage, since I don’t think the actions would exist without them.
