In reply to the discussion: How to know that you hate women [View all]Tuesday Afternoon
(56,912 posts)112. DU Rec. (stockholm let me go home ...)
stockholm let me go home ...
I've heard love songs make a Georgia man cry
On the shoulder of somebody's Saturday night
Read the good book studied it, too
But nothing prepared me for living with you
Locked me up tight in these shackles I wear
Tied up the keys in the folds of your hair
And the difference with me is I used to not care
Stockholm, let me go home
Once a wise man to the ways of the world
Now I've traded those lessons for faith in a girl
Across the ocean, a thousand years from my home
In this frozen old city of silver and stone
Ships in the harbor and birds on the bluff
Don't move an inch when their anchor goes up
And the difference with me is I'm falling in love
Stockholm, let me go home
Let me go home
And the night, so long
I used to pray for the daylight to come
Folks back home surely have called off the search
and gone back to their own
Ships in the harbor and birds on the bluff
Don't move an inch when their anchor goes up
And the difference with me is I'm falling in love
Stockholm, let me go home
Let me go home

What you're describing... Refusing to call it "hatred" is the worst kind of hair-splitting IMO.

We can at least show them that venting that hatred on another human being is totally unacceptable.

A man should never, ever, hit a woman, but should they all be punished the same?

I agree, but hitting a woman is especially vile, as men are physically stronger.

even there, i would say the emphasis on the gender distinction does more harm than good.

The issue is innate physical differences that are sex-specific. The two cannot be separated.

If violence against women is intolerable, what does that imply about violence against men?
