Dang, I have the greatest respect for your efforts to improve discourse on the site, but I have to disagree that this is "personally abrasive rhetoric"; the personal aspect is a critical component of the logic within my argument, it is precisely the fact that when we consider our own loved ones in the context of the GP's stated position, it becomes clear that the reasoning is not consistent (because we offer our loved ones a more humanizing outlook when considering the nature of their circumstances rather than describing our mothers and sisters as prostitutes). On a personal note, I am a little surprised that my comment has been flagged as "personally abrasive" but the GP's rhetoric suggesting that married women in general can be likened to prostitutes is not similarly flagged as inflammatory. I am not asking for permission to continue debating this thread, I am only asking that you consider the nuance and context of my reply before judging it as abrasive. Thanks for your hard work.
