SimonF Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I am confused by notions of "sexism" and "equality". While I personally find sexism and racism (aka preference discrimination) abhorent, isn't it a natural right to have freedom of association and doesn't this permit such discrimination? Of course "equality" enforced by a mob with guns is no kind of equality.
PatrickC Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 Of course most people will consider lesbianism as not a preference and something a woman is born with.
Existing Alternatives Posted March 13, 2013 Posted March 13, 2013 I can just see “affirmative action” police forcing lesbians at the point of the gun to copulate with men, and men with other men, while ensuring that none of the “interactions” is of the same race – brilliant! On a serious note, freedom of association is paramount – while you can force a lesbian to date men in the name of “equality” or “anti-sexism” or any other made-up or misapplied term, it does not make it any more moral – the key term here is “force.” I don’t see any abhorrence as far as personal preferences are concerned. It is not clear from your post whether or not you personally discriminate who you have sex with, but the moment you start forcing people into sexual relationship against their preferences, you enter the realm of rape.
