ORIGINAL: chellekitty it is not that she, nor you, cannot apply the word slave to yourselves, it is that you refuse to accept that there is another definition of the word....putting "to me" before a statement does not make it any less deragatory to those who do use an alternative definition for the word, here let me illustrate: to you, i am not a real and true slave because i do consent to my slavery, and my family does not mourn me and knows what happens to me.... the statement, "i cannot call myself a slave because of what is being done to women and girls nonconsensually," is not offensive... the statement, "to me, a slavery is involuntary and terrible," is offensive...no matter how you dress it...sorry... chelle Tell me, where did I refuse to accept there is another defination? If you read this thread you will see that I even use the term to refer to myself. I said I am uncomfortable with the term, but I still find it useful. I find the term "real slave" amusing in these forums because I do feel the only real slave is the one who did not have a choice in the matter. Anyone else can legally leave so when I see people trying so hard to copy historical slavery, I just laugh. And sometimes it bothers me because I feel we forget what people actually suffer every day, mostly overlooked. Words have power in society, making the term slave a beautiful thing could cause people to forget how much suffering is involved in actual and illegal slavery - particularly since the issue is alive and well today and nobody really cares. Not saying it will... but it might. That's how I feel and my feeling on the matters are just as valid as yours. But what you are saying is that anyone who doesn't agree with you about this issue shouldn't post their opinion. That's pretty damn insulting too. Our opinions are valid, just as much as yours. If you feel insulted, skip the post the same way someone enjoys diaper play will skip a post saying "I just can't see it as anything other than gross". Or would you report that to TOS as insulting as well?
