Dear list,
Silence gives grace to woman- though that is not the case likewise with a man. Everything in woman is a riddle, and everything in woman hath one solution —it is called pregnancy. Man is for woman a means: the purpose is always the child. But what is woman for man? SUPPOSING that Truth is a woman--what then? Is there not ground for suspecting that all philosophers, in so far as they have been dogmatists, have failed to understand women--that the terrible seriousness and clumsy importunity with which they have usually paid their addresses to Truth, have been unskilled and unseemly methods for winning a woman? Of man there is little here: therefore do their women masculinise themselves. For only he who is man enough, will— SAVE THE WOMAN in woman. And this hypocrisy found I worst amongst them, that even those who command feign the virtues of those who serve. "I serve, thou servest, we serve"—so chanteth here even the hypocrisy of the rulers—and alas! if the first lord be ONLY the first servant! one two three woman man child Hth, Jerry R On Thu, Dec 28, 2017 at 1:00 PM, Edwina Taborsky <tabor...@primus.ca> wrote: > Jerry, list - but apart from the perhaps-not-quite-accurate analogy of > 'destitute in a foreign land' - don't you consider that it is rationally > dangerous to set up an analogy that might imply that the attributes of one > set can possibly be fully applied to the second set? > > > Human compassion has nothing to do with this attempt at analogous > comparison and to me, it doesn't make sense to suggest that To Make Such An > Analogy is an Act-of-Compassion. > > > It's a similar false analogy as in the common logical fallacy of: > > > All cats are animals > > All dogs are animals > > Therefore, all dogs are cats. > > > > Edwina > > > > On Thu 28/12/17 1:47 PM , Jerry LR Chandler jerry_lr_chand...@icloud.com > sent: > > Peter, List: > > Is it possible that what is missing from this philosophical discussion is > simple human compassion? > > The Holy Family were destitute in a foreign land. > > in parallel sentence structure for the image (icon) without regard to the > facts not stated of the two images, > > The refuges are destitute in a foreign land. > > Of course, the concept human compassion is seldom an acceptable argument > in semeiotics, or is it? > > Cheers > > Jerry > > On Dec 28, 2017, at 8:33 AM, Skagestad, Peter <peter_skages...@uml.edu> > wrote: > > Listers, > > > I have a somewhat unusual question.
