men have liked waterboarding for a long time re: witches

[ensho]

they waterboarded so-called witches here in the US and in Europe.

witches = women

are there any scholarly texts on waterboarding down through the ages

have women been waterboarded for reasons other then witchcraft? US mental institutions comes to mind.

1. Huh?

Sexist threads are dumb.

2. Women accused of witchcraft were set up to die no matter what the outcome.

If they floated or swam to the top of the water when they were thrown in, they were found guilty and were burned as witches as the water "rejected" their unholy bodies".

If they drowned, they were innocent.

As I read in a child's reader, death was the punishment for the first offense of witchcraft, leaving me to wonder, what would they do to you if you did it again?

3. So, how do we tell whether she is made of wood?

If... she... weighs... the same as a duck,... she's made of wood

4. Well they were going around turning men into newts

9. see how drowning women turns into something amusing

there is nothing amusing about torture and murder

10. Please stop the "War on Men".

Men are victimized enough with the incessant talk of how they are pigs, testosterone-poisoned killers, potential rapists, etc.

They are our fathers, brothers and sons too.

So cut the shit out already.

[ensho]

11. no, when women have equal rights and representation I will

so no I won't stop

[Sal Minella]

12. Easy, there. Objecting to the drowning of women does not equal persecution of men.

Just as refusing to allow Fundy teachers to shove Creationism down my grandkids' throats does not equal persecution of Christians.

[Scout]

13. for some, anything short of unbridled love and admiration

constitutes persecution

14. In Virginia Beach, Virginia
