- | Are you saying that racial discrimination is bad, but religious or sexual
- | discrimination is OK?
-
- Racial discrimination is wrong as a matter of principle, while
- the morality of religious or sexual discrimination is
- contingent on the particular circumstances.
-
- Nothing is wrong with a woman's sewing club. Something may be
- very *right* with single sex schools for women (academically,
- they do better particularly in secondary education in the
- math and science fields -- its complex).
-
- Likewise, I wouldn't show any tolerance to a revival of Aztec
- blood rituals or practicing MBLA pedophiles.
-
- On the other hand, I approve of female combat pilots
- (as opposed to infantry if you want to start a long often
- visited discussion).
