In reply to the discussion: Hey "Radical" Feminists [View all]BainsBane
(55,498 posts)and appreciate that you put yourself out by extending the apology publicly. I know that isn't a popular thing to do on this site.
Positions that feminists take on pornography, however, are not the same as those of the right. The right opposes human trafficking. Does that make slavery okay? From what I can see, no one bothered to read the various views members here have on pornography (and they do vary quite a bit). So I don't know how you or anyone else could claim to know what our respective arguments are.
Disagreeing is fine. Thinking people will disagree. That is inevitable. What bothers me is dismissing everything anyone says by an appeal to HOF extremism and assuming we are a single horde here rather than individuals, like members of any other safe haven group. People blame all HOF posters for something one says. That's ridiculous. We don't get together and plot out a common response for posts. I am responsible for every stupid or inappropriate thing I have ever said but not for those of anyone else, whether they post in HOF or somewhere else.
Still, I welcome your OP and accept your apology.
