Does the sentence say that fear always lead to misogynistic violence, or does it say that this event was misogynistic? One of us is right, and it's not you. And who grants you the moral right to decide who should die? Is that really a responsibility you want to take on yourself? Killing in self-defence is one thing. Execution is something else. - Fanitullen Wed, 20 Oct 2010 19:28:05 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1118-a-castration-in-malawi.html#comment-19446 [quote]It doesn't state that the event is misogynistic, just that the fear always leads to misogynistic violence. [/quote] Since most African witches are male, maybe Africans are just naturally misogynistic. I discount out of hand any sentence with the word "@lw@ys" in it. The deeper problem is that there are a bunch of Africans with knives and other sharp objects who believe in this stuff. Killing them is one solution. - Caller X Wed, 20 Oct 2010 18:58:26 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1118-a-castration-in-malawi.html#comment-19433 Read it again. "the misogynistic violence by which such FEARS are always accompanied". It doesn't state that the event is misogynistic, just that the fear always leads to misogynistic violence. Try reading, it's good for you. - Fanitullen Tue, 19 Oct 2010 21:16:53 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1118-a-castration-in-malawi.html#comment-19427 [quote]scholars gathered in Kumasi, Ghana, at the Conference On Culture, Witchcraft, and Human Rights. There they explored methods of combating the belief in witchcraft, and the misogynistic violence by which such fears are always accompanied.[/quote] What part of "There they explored methods of combating the belief in witchcraft, and the misogynistic violence by which such fears are always accompanied" specifically the word "always" do you not understand. Tell me where I'm wrong. It was described in the article itself as misogynistic, according to the article itself. I'm right, you're wrong. - Caller X Tue, 19 Oct 2010 14:53:16 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1118-a-castration-in-malawi.html#comment-19415 @Caller X: Nowhere is this incident described as misogynistic. If you want to criticize the post, criticize it for things it ACTUALLY SAYS. The misogynistic event was the jailing of 86 for an invented crime. - Fanitullen Tue, 19 Oct 2010 06:26:09 +0100 http://www.randi.org/site/index.php/swift-blog/1118-a-castration-in-malawi.html#comment-19414 What is it with Africans and mutilating the genitals? They seem to have a real enthusiasm for it, whereas African-Americans don't. Hard to see how this incident was "misogynistic". Any confirmation that this incident actually happened? No? Didn't think so. Oh, wait, it was on the internet. And if it did really happen, isn't the problem that they got 20 years in jail instead of being killed immediately? - Caller X Tue, 19 Oct 2010 06:19:18 +0100
