5. "We have no evidence that Jack the Ripper was a misogynist"

Do you even see what you are saying? Honestly, that statement is so far off the map of the known world that here there be dragons. Except dragons are so much cooler than posters who refuse to see the misogyny in only killing women, prostitutes or not. Jack the Ripper meticulously mutilated the bodies of his victims. You don't do that without being particular about what kind of body you want to see disassembled, and you cannot do that without a complete lack of empathy with the human beings whose body you want to see disassembled - namely women. If you don't see women as human beings, you are per definition a misogynist.

Sorry, you are skating really close to a tombstone, and on your second post, even. I suggest you refrain from posting, and pay attention to where the threads you are reading is posted. This is a safe haven group.
