Topic: Yes, I'm a misogynist but it's OK because it's tradition.

Mr. Black Bollocks !wo2FnZxBXg started this discussion 1 hour ago #136,568

Also, it's not me that started that tradition its jesus.

Some people think it's ok to view women as emotional, and while there's a long tradition of that too, only my excuse counts. Those other people hate women, but it's not hate when I tell you Jesus himself doesn't want women leading the church.

Bullshit, all the leadership roles are men only.

The Catholic Church bans women from leadership roles, women can only serve in inferior roles. As in, the literal definition of the word inferior.

Can you explain why "tradition" isn't an excuse for calling women emotional, but is an excuse for relegating them to non leadership roles?

I don’t even think being emotional is inherently a bad thing, it’s natural. Obviously yeah in some situations you need to control your emotions and that comes with being an adult. But it’s part of this human experience of being alive and part of the beauty of life. And then if I’m not romanticizing it and I’m speaking from a purely rational perspective, emotions evolved to keep us alive, they’re instinctual.

But forget that, back to the emotional argument. Do you really want to be the guy who feels no emotions? That’s like being SpongeBob without the holes, like come on.

It doesn't matter if you would call it that, the definitions for "superior" and "inferior" are clear, you can look them up.

All nuns have are subject to a superior authority in the church, a male bishop. That is how the rules of the church work.

The actual people running the church are male.

Including the mythical god figure would only be a counter argument if that god was portrayed as a woman. Since the official teaching is that god was born as a man, and he said he was sent by his father, how does that help you here?

Hierarchy isn’t about superiority and inferiority. If you are above somebody in a hierarchy, that’s purely organizational. The pope doesn’t have to be a saint. You can have a hierarchy where someone with a higher position of authority is a worse person than someone in a lower position of authority. I’m not saying the pope is a bad person, I’m just saying, the fact that different people have different roles in the church says nothing of their worth has human beings. And that’s a really fundamental error in morality on your part. It’s also a failure in logic I guess, because there’s no reason to assume people who are higher up in any arbitrary hierarchy are superior as people.

It’s a 2,000+ year old organization that tries to adhere to tradition, it’s not hard to understand that someone could understand the value of tradition and understand that women are important and that women can lead. Even if I was super strict about the church, which I’m not really, that doesn’t say anything about my view of women in politics or even the views of Catholics in politics in general. The prime minister of Italy is a woman. It’s a false characterization that Catholics are against women in governmental leadership. The church is its own thing.

Yes, I am aware of this. We use it in everyday language. Nobody thinks that your boss is superior to you just because your boss is your superior. A word can have more than one definition and you’re confusing two very different meanings of the same word intentionally which is a logical fallacy.

I never said that objectivity doesn’t exist, you were screaming at me that logic is only binary when that’s actually not true. You just couldn’t conceptualize fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic and probability are still objective. Probability doesn’t mean that logic doesn’t exist and I never said that it implied that logic doesn’t exist or that objectivity doesn’t exist.

This is the definition of superior:

Superior means better than others, higher in rank, or situated above.

There’s a difference between saying somebody is better than somebody else and saying somebody is higher in rank than somebody else. What you’re doing is equivocation which is a logical fallacy where you pretend two definitions of a word are the same. Saying that someone is superior in rank to somebody else is not the same thing as saying somebody is superior in worth to somebody else. But you’re shifting from saying nuns are inferior to bishops in terms of rank to saying women are inferior to men in terms of worth. That’s a logical fallacy.

I'm using it exactly as the church does: the church thinks all important decisions need to ultimately be up to a man.

You can dress that up however you want, but there will never be a woman in charge of a male order, and there will always be a man with authority over the nuns.

LOL, another explicit lie.

You always avoid giving quotes, but I'll ask each time just so anyone reading knows: where did I say logic is always binary?

I never did, you are strawmanning because that is how you always try and deflect. Literally every thread, and you never, ever think to ask yourself "did I strawman? he always calls me out, so I should avoid using the same tactic that always gets called out".

This is a mental disorder, you should know by know I'm going to challenge you for a quote.

The church 100% says women can't be Bishops, and it 100% uses language like "superior".

Of course you probably have some strawman lined up so you can say "the church never said [x]" and so I'll say this ahead of time: can you actually quote where I said whatever thing you are about to make up? No? then it'a also a strawman.

If I said I had "faith" that women were emotional because of some religion, does it all suddenly make it Ok?

Nowhere in that article does the Pope say women can be Bishops, he just appreciates their role in the church.

So it is true, ultimately women sit under men in the heirarchy. The roles that actually have final decision making power (bishops namely) are male-only.

Being appreciated isn't the same thing as having an actual position of authority the way Bishops do.

Or means it can mean this, or it can mean that, not both at the same time. Meeting one definition doesn’t imply it meets the other definition.

It’s easy to prove this.

Take these as givens:

A: x is better than y

B: x is higher in rank than y

C = A or B


Okay? C is the definition of the word superior.

You’re saying B is true, therefore C is true, therefore A is true. But it doesn’t work like that. And if you had a brain it would be obvious why.

No, I didn't say that, I think it's more than enough to show that the church doesn't let them be in leadership positions.

Whatever the justification is, you are limiting the authority women can have in the church.

That alone is bad enough. I've called women emotional before, but that's nothing compared to telling them that no matter what they can never be one of the actual leaders.

And this should be obvious to you, because (this connects back to the debate we had before about fuzzy logic) definitions don’t determine reality, they’re abstractions of reality, and your definition can’t be the basis of how you think because it isn’t precise enough.

You’re still doing it though. You’re saying women have a lower status in the hierarchy within the church therefore women are worth less than men, but you can’t make that leap in logic. That’s equivocation and it relies on reverse implication which doesn’t work.

Mr. Bloody Lemonade !0JqexkOGBc triple-posted this 31 minutes ago, 1 minute later, 1 hour after the original post[^] [v] #1,449,523

Like yeah, the definition of the word superior means higher in status or better in worth. If you’re higher in status that doesn’t automatically also mean you’re better in worth. That’s not how logic works.

You said I used the wrong words, when your church uses those exact same words.

You called me an idiot for using the exact same language the church uses, as if it was completely the wrong word.

The fact that the church uses it, and the dictionary defines it as I used it shows it's a perfectly fine word to use here.

Going off on how "definitions are abstractions" is bs to avoid admitting you were wrong.

Do I need to show you the truth table for or just to prove this? If P is true, P or Q is true, but you can’t say whether Q is true based on your knowledge of whether P is true alone by itself. That’s completely stupid.

P and (P or Q) can both be true regardless of whether Q is true or false. So if you know the definition of superior can mean superior in hierarchy or it can mean superior in worth, then if you know men are superior in status in the church, you can’t then conclude that women have less worth than men which is what you’re trying to do. It just does not logically follow.

I said they were inferior in rank, and not allowed to be leaders.

"in worth" was not something I ever said.

> And you’re trying to prove it using the structural hierarchy of the Catholic Church. But it doesn’t logically follow. Your argument is fallacious.

I said your church was misogynistic for not letting women be leaders.

Anything else is something you made up so that you could avoid engaging with what I actually said.

It's not an argument I made, which is why you aren't quoting the argument and critiquing it.

Here's the actual argument
P1:I said women can't be leaders in your church(true)
P2: I certainly implied not letting women be leaders is sexist.
C: I concluded your church is sexist.

You are apart of a church that officially bans women from leading the church as priests/bishops/pope.

Those are two very different degrees of sexism.

You’re not really making an argument against the Catholic Church, you’re making an argument for misogyny disguised as an argument against the Catholic Church. You don’t wish that I wasn’t Catholic, you wish that I was a misogynist and you don’t like that it’s possible for me to retain my religion and not be sexist so you are attacking my religion which shows that you are not a person of faith. You are simply a godless man who wants to twist God for your own selfish benefit.

Men and women were each assigned separate roles on Earth by our creator, but men and women are equal in spirit and equal in importance. In order to continue the existence of our species men and women are both necessary for reproduction. Just because we are different doesn’t mean one is better than the other. I don’t believe in that.

I don't think women should be reatricted from leadership roles if they can control their emotions, but your church doesn't car either way and prohibits them from it.

100% gurantee you won't have any explanation for how faith makes it OK, because you have no reason. You just stated a non sequitor.
