It is interesting to see the name of Christopher Hitchens on that list of sexists. Ophelia Benson once wrote a very favourable piece, full of praise for him. She obviously did not know that he believed women should not have to go out to work as that was the role of the man instead. And he was not b...

Aratina Cage sayz:

You know what, ERV, I don't get why you think it is OK to emulate Wally Smith and that other pop tart and go around slinging sexist terms at your foes when we all know you have it in you to come up with non-sexist terms

The tart thing is hilarious, given Aratina Cage telling me that in NO way could calling someone "Poptart" be seen as a gendered slur, because the ONLY meaning for poptart is a delicious pastry, so therefore, that is the ONLY possible use of the word. In fact, Aratina never really accepted they'd us...

Right, except that Jesus was essentially conservative in that he was there to re-establish the covenant of the laws of Moses, called people who disagreed with him a "nest of vipers" and said he "came to bring the sword".

Benson states that the problem is using insults against "certain women".
