(53,032 posts)False. People are doing so in this thread and in virtually every thread on sexism and many on racism. Perhaps your confusion comes with the phrase human equality? Humans do include women and people of color.
I know it will shock you that my comment to 1strongblackman might not have been related entirely to you. As much as you might imagine yourself the center of everything, my comments to him were about opposition to discussions of sexism and racism more generally.
As for your post, to equate feminism with religion on this site is a clear insult. It was intended and received as such. As for orthodoxy and heresy, you clearly don't know what you're talking about in regard to feminism and, it appears based on your sweeping generalization, religion either (during your nebulous "there was a time," religion was never confined to the dominion of the Santo Oficio or even to Christianity). I really don't care what you discuss. What I resent is being insulted as a zealot.
Additionally, just the other day you said that it was impossible to say whether threats of rape and death against a member were worse than posting a poll on pregnancy and marriage. How do you expect to have discussion with people when you think your inconvenience at happening across a thread you don't like is just as bad as threats to their life?
I have not now or ever sought to control your speech. You are free to discuss anything you want. I just don't care to participate further. Talk away--and by all means, do it as far from my auspices as possible.
