Just to be clear, I didn't write any of the above that was attributed to me. Declan wrote it. I don't even know what a "gender feminist" is. Some kind of typical feminazi or feminista screwball, I assume.
My mistake. Sometimes when you're reading a post that's been re-quoted several times, it gets confusing as to who posted what.
As for Monica-Clinton, what appears to be the case doesn't matter in some ideologies. Can meaningful consent be given with such a power imbalance? -Declan
I don't see a power imbalance here. If a young woman in her 20's invitingly flashes her thong panties at a man, I don't see how she can be portrayed as the victim. The only way that the issue of power arises is that Monica was not overwhelmed by someone in power - she was attracted to the power. On another but connected note, explain why Monica saved that dress! I found this little tidbit to be the "yuck" factor... *********************************************************** Lynne L.
