Lordy, lordy, who said anything about 'reading and reviewing'! :scream: In a reply to @"javi2541997", I mentioned my deteriorating brain and other ong...

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...
July 30, 2023 at 19:40
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 ...

Good to get your vote :wink: :up:

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...

Thanks for reply. It's early morning here, so I'll be brief. I don't struggle with what it means to be a woman. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woman
July 28, 2023 at 01:07
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 ...
July 28, 2023 at 00:34
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...
July 27, 2023 at 23:16
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...
July 27, 2023 at 15:40
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...
July 27, 2023 at 13:23
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...
July 27, 2023 at 13:09
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...
July 27, 2023 at 09:56
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...
July 27, 2023 at 09:05
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...
July 27, 2023 at 00:40
: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...
July 26, 2023 at 15:04
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...
July 26, 2023 at 14:55
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...
July 26, 2023 at 09:07
@"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...
July 26, 2023 at 07:50
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...
July 24, 2023 at 09:16
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...
July 12, 2023 at 06:52
Oh, thanks for that quick reply and links. SEP always good. :up: :smile:
July 11, 2023 at 21:52
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 ...
July 11, 2023 at 21:34
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...
July 11, 2023 at 18:16
Enough already. This is becoming tedious. As such, I will no longer be responding to your comments.
July 11, 2023 at 09:39
This post was addressed to @"fdrake" as a complaint against 'some people' and their 'vile, destructive and sexist' ideas. Apparently, they have been g...
July 11, 2023 at 06:34
Appreciate your positive contribution. Like you, I don't know much about feminist philosophy. Haven't really been all that interested until @"Moliere"...
July 11, 2023 at 06:16
Yes. I don't always understand a point of view. Your thread has been helpful in teasing out thoughts and attitudes. Thank you :flower:
July 10, 2023 at 16:00
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...
July 10, 2023 at 15:53
All down to my shoddy quoting. Ooops! :smile:
July 10, 2023 at 15:46
I've edited my post re you being a careful reader! This is the quote from the article. Note well the comment is made by Laurie Penny, NOT Mirren.
July 10, 2023 at 15:38
The article might well be considered 'garbage' but you misrepresent what is being said by whom. You know it.
July 10, 2023 at 15:32
:up: @"Tzeentch" is not a careful reader.
July 10, 2023 at 15:20
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...
July 10, 2023 at 15:12
