I have not assumed it. My point is the exact opposite: we don't just have a fact that I should get what I want. If I exist with a desire, it does not ...
Because they aren't truthful without an ought. Just because I exist wanting something is not a reason I must have it. The existence of my desire does ...
That's just a popularity and how others treat you for it-- questions of existence only. Again, any outcome of the world makes as much sense as another...
The problem is the statment is not rational unless there something wrong with the action. It's not rational for someone to do what you want, to act to...
Nietzsche is anti-nilhism. His major point is that life itself is valuable and nihilism has a much longer history than just when people grew critical ...
The case against God would be prosecuted the crimes of the prisoners needn't to have occurred in the first place. God could have chosen a world those ...
The issue is that with omnipotence and omniscience, God has both the knowledge and ability to make anything happen, to prevent or set events up to occ...
I have not misunderstood. The point is that the given evidence of patterns does not fit with the conclusions about which trait belongs of which people...
This is what I was talking about: the argument is the gender binary is objectively untrue, for it does not recognise various objective facts about gen...
This is probably at great risk of going of topic, but the left is cornered with truth with regards to gender. They identify, correctly, that the exist...
Does this mean you are arguing Europeans are only human in appearnce because they thought some concepts in their language that other people didn't at ...
Well, I'm not. Could is not does. Just because I could use English to say anything, it doesn't mean I do. In any given instance where I use English, I...
I'm saying you're playing Sartre. Since any use of English could mean anything, there is nothing beyond the scope of what could be said in English. fd...
You're Sartre needs work. Since we are free, our use of language included, English could be used to talk about anything at all. There is nothing conce...
Definitely not sentimental, I'm talking objective material conditions of society: what is entailed in one's social existence and how it relatest other...
I was addressing assertions about the need to be pro Western and how it related to supremacy. There are "colourblind" people in all countries no doubt...
It's racist or supremacist because everyone else does the same, in their own conditions. The values and practices you identify aren't uniquely Western...
The "colourblind" approach is racist. "Race" is a proxy for the material conditions and signifcance of a body. When we ignore someone's skin colour, w...
The fun part is pretty Hume much agrees with Kant here: that causality is not manfest in empirical appearance (i.e. it must be a priori relation which...
The funny thing is extremes of "social construction" are the genuine materialists. They recognise that the finite construction of things applies not o...
The "post modernists" aren't against truth. Indeed, the favourite targets of the right are all about the truth: the various objective states the world...
Jersey is referring to the nihilism of transcendent metaphysics, where something else is said to replace or perform man's/the material's value. I woul...
But that's the issue: here "racial issues" are just thinking someone ought to have one social position or another because someone has a skin colour or...
In many cases, no. The social relation in question is one of particular bodies. If every human lost their awareness skin colour tomorrow, it would not...
The economic disparity is one of the major examples of systematic racism. If it has not been eliminated, all forms of systematic racism have not been ...
What matters is that they are a body (with a skin colour) which is treated with respect, given a place on a society, etc., so it's not a simple matter...
That's because I have read the thread up till now. I've got enough information to describe what your positions are doing. My point was never that you ...
Oh I know that very well (my point was you were calling "White privilege" a racism when it was not, rather than you were denying systematic racism occ...
I was not engaging in any sort of racism. I was descirbing how there are bodies, which are identified and related to through racial or ethnic identiti...
White privilege isn't something people have by having white skin. Privilege isn't a merit/value they attain by a fact of having white skin, it's a mat...
I was assuming the context was refering to cases in question were men were learing from sexual interest. My postion is certainly not that any look equ...
People refered to strippers deliberately to both show how sexual display is not equivalent to objectification but how men take it to be. Strippers are...
Your first premise is incohrent. If she chooses to partake in displaying a sexy dance for others, it is not an act of objectification. Others are mean...
My point wasn't that all men do this, but that some do. Objectification isn't limited to women who act "provocatively." These men will do it to any wo...
But it doesn't. Women get this shit all the time, not just when their stripping. This doesn't happen because women so one particular thing or another,...
For wearing the clothes, yes. This is not the objectification. The objectification is in the actions of others, the leers, the a lot whistles, th3 com...
If they were implying some scatological sexual interest, sure. Smell? Unlikely, restrooms are supposed to be shitted in and be stinky. It's not harmfu...
Nothing from a contract, but the ethical obligation not to treat people like they are one's possessions. You don't do that shit becuase it's harmful t...
Yes, you are not getting something. When a stripper chooses to give you a sexy dance, chooses to make you feel attraction and sexual pleasure, it is n...
What exactly is the point meant to be here? My comment about strippers was about what it true when there are strippers. I was using it as an example t...
No where did I mention other women being wrong. Indeed, when I was talking about a woman's intention or purpose being irrelevant to instances of objec...
Her purpose and intention don't matter. The objectification is coming from the actions of others. In, for example, men who are thinking she is their s...
No, it is not. Not in the sense that women are appearing looking beautiful. Yes, in the sense that beauty pagents are cultural/political organisation ...
Appearing as an object does not equal objectification. Everything appears as an object. If this were equal to objectification, then simply existing an...
That the thing though: there is no such hypocrisy. Every woman could walk around naked, want to be looked at sexually, want to cause sexual attraction...
That's being concerned about his desire that a woman must attracted or interested in him. It has nothing to do with a woman's needs. Her concerns, des...
You recognise that someone being attractive, wearing suggestive clothing or acting provocatively does not mean someone is there to fulfil your sexual ...
We might well talk about it, if we speak the same language about it. All we need are our words, which have specific references to our feeling of pain,...
