Postmodernism: Every view is equally valid

One of the core tenets of postmodernism is that every view is equally valid. Since every view of equally valid,  every view deserves equal respect. It is true that every person is equal regardless of race, sex, religion, political belief, physical status or socioeconomic background. However, this does not mean that every view that people have is of equal validity. Radical feminists use the strawman argument (or strawwoman for sake of the political correctness  that they demand) to argue that because women have the right to wear absolutely anything they want to, women should not be blamed for assault. While it is wrong to blame any victim for any harm they suffer, what people wear is nothing to do with the question of whether or not a woman should be blamed. The premise that women have the right to wear absolutely anything is a distractor. Feminists are only trying to use the pretext of assault to justify wearing absolutely anything they want. As much as people have a responsibility to control themselves, people should also not entice people to do the wrong thing.

My warning, from a female perspective, to the modern (Australian) male is that there are many bad women out there who use manipulative, cunning methods to use men for their own pleasure. Where possible, avoid talking to the ones who seem nice, but condone such manipulation. Don't associate with them. They will destroy you.
