Listen. Nobody here disagrees with any of the 37 separate points you've made on this thread through several thousand words. Alas, you have been arguing with yourself, working up your emotions, and shifting the entire tone of the discussion entirely on your own. Rob made a mistake. You corrected it like 20 pages ago. So why the drag out? Why the discussion of rape or gender bias/discrimination? Your initial point was that Rob's post reflected what you felt as objectification and sexism, I feel you on that for real but check it out, you "simply raised your voice" on that and we heard you. So why all this other Feminine Mystique Revisted tirades?
See, SYG isn't just your blog either, as you said, it is a public space. You are free to share your thoughts on feminism, the situation of women in our society, and the problems they face, and we are all free as men and women to discuss them with you. But your discussion was not a conversation, it was strictly an accusation, and what is worse, entirely unfounded. Rob does post sexist things here, and we have all called him out over the years, as have many of us on many instances of these things. However, Rob is not a rapist, Rob doesn't support the glass ceiling or gender gap or classism in our society. Shit.
Stop having a hyperbolic argument with strawmen of your own creations. If you would like to have a calm, intelligent discussion about women's issues, we in the SYG community would definitely love the refreshing chance of pace, but please, don't suddenly make it into some super apocalypse, its not. The majority of people in my life are all women. Trust me, I get you. But you really don't get some of us if you seriously believe half of what you have accused folks of here. Discussing major problems in our society is one thing, wrongly accusing people of being complicit with those evils is another matter entirely :/
