Re: As for chocolate ice cream:
Date: 2011-07-16 10:04 pm (UTC)Seriously, the big fallacy in Lori Klein's metaphor is the equating of something that doesn't hurt other people with something that is specifically designed for that purpose. .
It's similar to Richard Dawkin's recent claim that getting hit on in a hotel elevator by a strange man at 4:00 AM was no worse than sharing an elevator with a noisy gum-chewer. If Richard Dawkins himself were ever to get hit on in a hotel elevator by a strange man at 4:00 AM, he would soon learn the difference between feeling annoyed by someone's 'preferences' and being threatened by their behavior.
So will Ms. Klein if anyone ever sticks a loaded gun in HER face.
