[QUOTE="Mistwell, post: 8317543, member: 2525"] Yes. And? It's not a video game where your life levels up over time necessarily. For example, I can honestly say my mother had better views on some topics in her 20s than she had in her 60s. She had a better view on some topics 5 years ago than she has now. That's why I am saying a single comment can be obscured by time, and people can have varying views on the same topic at different points in their lives, but it's not like just one point in a life is the only meaningful one. Yes. I know. And yet, there was still a WHOLE LOT OF SEXISM in those years (as you went on to recount) while there were some (what seems to be a minority from your account) who were less sexist. And humans tend to form their opinions based on their upbringing and societal norms of the time. There was a lot of societal sexism at the time - more than there is now, I'd argue. And so saying "I wish they had been more enlightened" isn't a contradiction with "it was likely a product of their time." They're not mutually exclusive sentiments. Bottom line, is there some reason why you feel attacking the person is more beneficial to this conversation, or to informing or persuading people on these ideas, than it would be to instead focus on the position itself?
