Subject: Re: perpetuating filth
From: Duncan
I agree with Gregory. I think there are serious issues for both men and women involved in this kind of message. A "list" like this serves on the one hand to reinforce stereotypes that some men might jokingly hold about women, and on the other hand to reinforce an inaccurate "all men are pigs" image by those who consciously or subconsciously project the views of four people on a larger group. On behalf of my gender I would like to emphasize that the majority of men do not think this way about women, that many find it sick that some people actually perpetrate such filth, and that the guys who wrote this in the first place are probably loving every angry response that they receive. In the future, please think twice before passing this kind of thing on; just because the person who sent it to you recommends it does not mean that you have to. Nothing against the person to sent it to the list; I am just reacting to the issue.
