Can we trust women as ethical decision-makers?

Heh, good question Dor! That's where this discussion really needs to begin!

Hey Still,
I looked up the enteric brain. Very interesting stuff!

not to change the subject

but someone was talking about S8 being a text based community. I highly reccomend Sherry Turkle work on that subject at MIT. I can almost understand her, I think.

back to the enteric brain, the three pound universe and other issues of the flesh, I really ain't that inerested in female plumbing. the undere wear section in stores is like the great dismal swamp, I always go around it. so any way

hows tricks?

[hester_prynne]

I guess I meant, I don't want a womb, content to be a man, but so happy that there are women who are happy to be a woman. You seemed a little put out about my remark about Molly Ivins and the body suits. I must have sounded like a broken record. Another boy who wants to be a girl. Female plumbing, pretty crude way of saying it. I must still be pretty because I only like the feel of a woman's underwear when she is wearing it. I have a friend that I made on litkicks, one of the few women who were not always flamming my ass on litchicks, I write her about my autism with women, she ain't looking for a prince, she is a married woman, our correspondace is brotherly sisterly. For example I heard a bit on NPR about a woman in london who now carries an extra pair of shoes in case she has to walk. That seems so strange to me, to wear shoes you can't walk or run in. So there is an emergency and you got to stop and change shoes? "It ain't how feel, its how you look" No way you going to understand me hester. Just look right through me.

I am pretty sure I have Asperger's syndrome, but I am also a hypochondriac

how do we know we can trust ANYONE to be an ethical decision maker?

the only way is a case-by-case trial by individual track record. you can't judge a man by the rest of his gender anymore than you can a woman.

there's a bad and a sweet one in every bunch.

very true, but since you got a uterus and I don't I trust your decisions, a little more than mine, I hope that is not sexist. Working purely on intellectual level, I mean just trying to be fear less, not suck up to you. say what I think you want to hear,I wrote something on litkicks about guys who are feminists to pick up chicks. I got problem with male feminism, something not authenic just a guy thing GA a gut feeling.

please critique

if you can read this gibberish.

thanks

well, there is perhaps some tension is the male feminist thing. but the point is that men can, if enlightened, be in solidarity with feminists or at least agree with their views and critque of society. there have been some men throughout the ages that have stood up for women's rights and so forth so it doesn't have to be just a gimmick to flirt with chicks.
