Reply #46: How can I save my slightly Republican friend... [View All]

[MrSandman]

from an extremely Republican gf? By using a woman who could easily be mistaken for a man ... for a tough man ... a tough truck-drivin' or construction-workin' man.

If it is an ethical question, ask yourself the questions you asked your friend like it were about stealing $200 from your boss.

But then if it is about trying to discover what is preferred, physical beauty or political congruence, take a philosophy class.

The funny thing about ethical questions, is that you have the answers and it doesn't matter squat what progressive strangers of diverse backgrounds suggest.

on edit...in case the fishy part is still not clear, you have set up a choice of possible prejudices to choose from. Unfortunately, for you, it seems the biggest prejudice is against someone who wants to make his/her friend's choices for them either overtly or covertly. The textbook definition of, well, not progressive thought.
