Literary V.-Chips

[Chris Stolz]

steely--

        Does the incredible rudeness of your tone toward DYB and feminists
in general have something to do with the intellectual thrust of your argument?  

        Is it necessary to use straw man tactics against feminists, lumping
them together into the sterotypical anti-feminist tough domineering
stalinist censor image and attirubuting to them arguments they don't make,
in order to make your point?

civility goes a long way...

Modern man likes to pretend that his thinking is wide-awake. 
But this wide-awake thinking has led us into the mazes of a 
nightmare in which the torture chambers are endlessly 
repeated in the mirrors of reason.  When we emerge, perhaps 
we will realise we have been dreaming with our eyes open, 
and that the dreams of reason are intolerable.  And then, 
perhaps, we will begin to dream once more with our eyes closed.
