sigelphoenix at 03:27pm on 16/06/2006 under anti-oppression and the evil *ismsYou know what's not okay? This is not okay:
"If you had a racist in your class, would you gently, calmly nudge-nudge-know-what-you-mean slowly try to bring him along, or would you more assertively confront him? I don't think you'd tolerate racism the same way you might be tolerating sexism, Hugo. I think you would, perhaps not rudely, but sternly, set someone straight on race. Why should women be treated differently? Because you think it's still more socially acceptable to be a woman hater?"
( What, all I said was that your complaints are less valid than mine! )
