Again. I don’t really take staunch positions on these issues because I don’t actually know quite how I feel about them…I more or less call BS on a case by case basis despite being relatively liberal overall. I don’t quite buy in to all of the oversensitivity I see when it comes to certain issues that the left holds so dearly, but I rarely agree with many conservative positions on social issues.
Also, again the money. It is my “observation” that said person is usually blamed (the breadwinner). I hope you realize (as your thanks for the clarification suggests) that I don’t necessarily blame them. In some cases I do, in many I do not. While I don’t appreciate slippery slope arguments that much, I do worry that the position of someone who agrees that the person taking advantage of someone should be unilaterally blamed (no, I am not saying you suggested this) is taking a position similar to those who “burned witches at the stake” centuries ago especially when framed in the context of gender roles (the idea of women as dangerous seductresses that were responsible for the evils or sketchy behavior by men). Now, this is indeed an opinion or at least a concern of mine when the idea of victim blaming comes up and you already no how “grey” and shaky I am when it comes to things like sexual assault and victim blaming as we kind of discussed it before via PM.
