A female poster on PBH wrote to me this week with a private message...... Just had an eye on the discussion that´s been going around on your blog and on poorbuthappy, and just wanna tell you how well you are dealing with, I´m impressed by how calm you seem to be, having to cope with so much stupidity. I guess I shouldn´t be surprised over the fact that so many men react this way to your opinions, but still, it´s devastating that many of them keep the level so low and don't even try to understand. Haven´t read all of their stuff, but the parts I read are just depressing. But, what I wanna say, is just that you are handling the discussion so good, and that women like you are gives so much hope.
Thanks for that! It's always great to get something in my mailbox which doesn't involve the bitchy comments from my anti-fan club. :D
Essentially, we all hold different opinions about prostitution and morality.
Different opinions are the diversity we should celebrate during discussion.
The trouble is some of these guys don't want to discuss, having to discussing things may
involve having to use the brain, and many since arriving in Colombia, have had their thinking processes taken over by another, considerably smaller, part of their bodies. My comments were met though with a fair amount of linguistic violence - everything from offering to deal with my "sexual frustration", suggesting a gangbang, and telling me that they wanted to slit my throat for my "heretical remarks" (This from someone who accused me of "intolerance".)
Heretical?
Why stop at wanting to "slit my throat?".
Why not burning at the stake or stoningin the market place. There are time-honoured traditions of getting rid of troublesome women.
If asking for justice be heresy, then I must be careful with those matches.
