Thatcher and Feminism
Snortland points out the contradiction of imputing the attributes of one member of a class to another and then she imputes negative attributes to all white males. Isn’t that a non sequitur too?
She writes, “What a drag it must be to be an African-American and be expected to explain all other African-Americans.” Ms. Snortland, it’s a drag to be a white male and be blamed for racism, sexism, militarism, pollution, classism, depletion of the ozone and death and destruction the world over. It’s a drag to constantly be the object of rage from every oppressed group in one’s community.
I know it’s politically incorrect but is it possible, Ms. Snortland, to discuss feminism without hatred and contempt for white men or is that the real agenda?
