Again, very easy to answer a question. We're "diverting the narrative" from what, exactly? It can be difficult to answer a question if you don't understand what someone is asking, however, and you are reluctant to admit that you don't understand it. |

Good reading comprehension. I wish I could say I'm surprised.

Zappa said nothing in lyrics about women being "exclusively sexualized," but even if he had, that wouldn't be misogynistic, unless you'd have some unusual thing in mind re what "misogynistic" denotes. If we say that "Zappa exclusively referred to women in a sexual manner" that would be different than "Zappa referred to women as exclusively sexualized" by the way. Re "childish" you'd have to specify anything you're reading that way. Change the channel if you're not into it. |

I think the difference between us is that I'm viewing the lyrics within the context of a misogynistic and sexist culture that can readily be affirmed by a popular artist, where you're viewing the situation through abstracted dictionary definitions as obvious parameters for reality to exist under. My piece is clear here, I guess we'll agree to disagree. It's not something I like to do since I don't like you having the wrong ideas or misconceptions but I think it's the best route to go.

It's not that I'm going along with dictionary definitions as "fixed rules," but if we're going to be making accusations about this stuff, and especially if we're going to be socially ostracizing people because of it and so on, we'd better damn well be able to specify exactly what we have in mind as the problem, and the accusations better hold water, including in light of how things like meaning really work ontologically. (Of course, I'd still think that ostracizing people would be an overreaction, but that's another issue.) I also don't like "agreeing to disagree" and I want you to not hold wack views. I'm willing to do the work to achieve that--even if it takes weeks, months, years, whatever, but you don't seem willing to put in that kind of work from your perspective. And again, crap reading comprehension, lol. |

Closemindedness is a pretty rude accusation off of the bat.
