Well now, since the post you quoted was a reply to me, and you're ambiguously talking about "misogynist rationalizations" that have been made in this topic, I'm going to have to object on several points.[SIZE=Default]This guy thinks this is an excellent post! I don't think you need to question your being an INFJ because of this. To be honest I behaved the same way and used the same misogynist rationalizations people in this thread are using before my friend was raped, that is when I finally "got it". It's been 2 1/2 month's since my friend was raped and she's still scared of being in public by herself because she fears that every guy she doesn't know who comes near her might rape her. Given that 1 out of every 4 women will be sexually assulted, abused, or molested in some time in their lives I can't really blame the over-the-top "all men are rapists" rhetoric of certain feminist acedemics.[/SIZE]
First of all, I haven't really been placing "blame" on any groups. I blame the system, not men or women. I don't think there's anything about men or women that innately makes them act badly. I am trying to understand the causes of things in our present society, not assign blame, because once I assign the causes, I can try to figure out how to deal with them and take a step forward. Maybe the step forward doesn't lead to a perfect ideal society, but if it moves things forward, then I'm for it. Coincidentally, your idea of an ideal society is simply your reinterpretation of modern values. I assure you that 1,000 years ago or even less, your idea of a perfect society would be very different, although probably still a decent society to live in. My approach, however, is timeless, since it's about increasing freedom step by step over the long run. It requires a reinterpretation at each step, rather than coming into contradiction with the various utopia's people envision over time.
Secondly, I have not said that women are always to blame for how men react (or even that they ever are), nor have I said that women are at fault when they are raped. In fact, I don't think anyone's said that, although I could have missed something. Trying to continue to pin this on me is misleading at best, and dishonest at worst, as I've demonstrated that people have nothing other than apparent surface similarities with my arguments and the arguments behind that belief, surface similarities that don't hold up to deeper analysis.
You know, if a man told me that he was having trouble not staring at women and that he didn't want to, and that he was fed up with women for wearing clothing that made themselves so visible, I would tell him to own up for his own actions, just like I would with a woman. I haven't because, despite how some people are acting, I'm not aware of anyone saying this. This has absolutely nothing to do with assigning personal blame for wider issues, for me.
