A Culture of Offense
Too late; you've already said that I sicken you so in order to maintain my status as a sickener I'll have to continue to make you sick otherwise I've allowed you to pwn me.
Just for you I now embrace censorship to a fanatical degree whereas I did not before.
Wow. See the power I have over this man? You see?! I AM THE MESSIAH!
Now, minion, I order you to post whatever you want without any sort of decorum or civility.
Sorry, doesn't work that way.
It doesn't? I thought that was the way things usually happened.
Suppose she were to catch you reading
Would the Disney version be sanitized enough for the modern Feminist?
And, I've never heard of anyone complaining of Kipling being "sexist."
Are you really supposed to limit your reading to Feminist rants?

Virtually none of Kipling's work, or much Victorian/Edwardian literature at all, has any sort of strong female character. If they exist at all, they are simply depedent on the male characters or there to cheer them on. Modern feminists hate that crap.

There is one powerful female in Kipling,Nagina,the female cobra in Rikki Tikki Tavi,I felt sorry for the cobras.It was their garden till the Anglos showed up.

Valerie Solanas tried to kill Andy Warhol
I always thought there must be far better targets than him really - he wasn't a misogynist in my opinion and I'm pretty sure he
was an aspie too - that might have been his problem - he might have said something blunt to her
Hugh Heffner would have been a far better target
It would be funny if she was an aspie too
I often think people who do radical things might have been aspies

Kipling could have done women characters. All he needed to do is see the move: As Good as It Gets which is about a male author who does women characters How does he succeed so well? Here is the answer right from the movie:
In the movie, “As good as it gets”, Jack Nicholson, who plays a writer in the movie, is just leaving the publisher. The young female receptionist asks Nicholson a question.
Receptionist:
“How do you write women so well?”
Nicholson:
“I think of a man and I take away reason and accountability.”

I believe that however a book was written, if the beliefs were appropriate for the time leave them in. I even think it's okay to call someone a "n****r" or "f****t" in a book today - characterization! If someone uses those terms cruelly in real life, that's their right - but it's also everyone else's right to speak out against it, correct them (in the case of dalse statements like "All f****ts rape children," "N****rs always use Welfare and don't work," etc.) or boycott them.

If troll =one that loves to instigate intense debates and likes to prepare for them, then "troll" is a compliment. Socrates called himself a gadfly. * Not bad company to be associated with!
* I am assuming that Plato was not putting words into Socrates mouth.
