Lordy, lordy, who said anything about 'reading and reviewing'! :scream: In a reply to @"javi2541997", I mentioned my deteriorating brain and other ong...
Phil Collins - That's Just The Way It Is (Official Music Video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zP7pgInSybI "That's Just the Way It Is" is a song (ant...
When all is said and done, the poll is a piece of froth. It's a way to keep the natural sense of competition alive and well and fun, for some. That's ...
:smile: There's until next Friday 5th before deadline. Is the poll already set-up in the thread structure? It wouldn't take much of a 'discussion' for...
Understood. And so sorry to hear about Chomsky's ill health. Great that TPF is offering so many 'Events'. Guest Speakers haven't come along every year...
@"Baden" Regarding the original deadline. It only gave 2 weeks notice for anyone wishing to write and submit a story. And this is during high holiday ...
Why the ''Not for me'' option? I thought that had been discussed. Last time, only first 2 were offered. From @"180 Proof" to @"Caldwell" I agree. Peop...
Understood. Not really meant to be kind but informative at a practical level. I don't see the two things as being all that separate. The challenge is ...
Why do you feel you shouldn't have posted it? Too open and personal? I responded to what I felt was a real struggle in understanding and coping. It wa...
Yes, it made sense to me. However, I would like to see an example of it in use. I can't imagine how it would help with the issues raised in this threa...
Yes. It is a most worthwhile endeavour in itself and in relation to philosophy. A close reading of such can raise the imagination, sense of empathy, a...
I appreciate this response. I should probably have done more in the way of dotting the i's and crossing the t's. Clarifying connections. Never mind. N...
I remember the good times too. Unfortunately, this time around my brain ain't quite whot it used to be. Also, I have 4 books to read before the start ...
Oh, you've made me enter the Shoutbox. Not fair! Lovely to receive a welcome back but I'm not around for long. Popping in and out seems to be my patte...
I think perhaps the problem with the term 'toxic masculinity' is that it is not clear-cut. From previous posts, we can see how meanings vary with more...
Sorry to jump in here (uninvited) but you are not alone. There are increasing numbers of parents who are having to come to terms with this issue. Ther...
:smile: Yes indeed. I was going to add: ''Choose your poison!" Exactly. Edit: Individuals with a multitude of 'selves' can have many poisons and antid...
Yes. You are drawn to whatever play delights you. Of course, not all moths are drawn to the dangerous light. There are even theories as to the reasons...
Even if religious practice and belief are viewed as the first identifiable poison, @"Moliere"'s placement of his thread in Ethics is perhaps more appe...
@"Moliere" - my earlier post (you either missed or ignored) re ethics and 'morality police' was in response to this stand-alone post: At the time, I d...
Yes. Isn't that why you posted the thread in the 'Ethics' subforum? Why is it hard to get to a 'should'? Is this all Hume's fault? The is-ought proble...
Thank you for your response. I read ( mostly scrolled) a few SEP and wiki articles on the subject and can't say I'm any the wiser. Too many sub-theori...

This seems to be quite a narrow expectation of where 'courage' shows up. Especially, if we are talking about increasing social awareness of gender iss...
OK, I read about 'intersectionality' and thought I had a grasp. However, this moving 18 min video is powerful in its presentation and its graphics. Un...
Just to say that when you first used the word ' intersectionality' I didn't know what it meant. I found this and emailed the link to myself for later ...
Thanks again. It does indeed look good. Not sure if I want to buy it though! If you ever read it, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. Please let ...
Thanks for the introduction to Susan Haack. After reading an in-depth and lengthy interview of Susan Haack by Richard Carrier (2012) I can see why you...
This post was addressed to @"fdrake" as a complaint against 'some people' and their 'vile, destructive and sexist' ideas. Apparently, they have been g...
Appreciate your positive contribution. Like you, I don't know much about feminist philosophy. Haven't really been all that interested until @"Moliere"...
Thank you. I'll need to read your post again later. Most of it makes perfect sense to me on a first read but there are a few bits I think I need to lo...
No, she doesn't. Perhaps read the whole article. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/rendezview/why-women-are-still-the-property-of-men/news-story/b18f0...
@"Moliere" Just read an article, so thought I'd share it in the meantime. It addresses issues of 'Masculinity' - Managing expectations of what it is t...
