how dare you make the suggest that fair treatment of women is a moral absolute!!!!!
Progressives can't even consistently apply their own moral theory.
How do you value, as a punishment, raping women for somebody else's "fault" ? Do you think it's fair game as a human being ?
You're really gonna stand here and tell me that Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels would support the rape of two women because their brother had sex with a higher caste women? You're really going to say this?
I don't cape for European law. I dont need religion or Marx or law to tell me rape is wrong.
You're the one putting this sub forum into the relativist sphere so it can fit your way of arguing with us. The reality is far more simpler : whatever we believe in, we do and think what we want. Same as you.I think what this tribe is doing absolutely immoral. But I believe in moral absolutes, and believe that some cultures are inferior to others.
How can people who subscribed to ideologies founded on relativism (socialism, communism and progressivism) criticize the moral frame work of another culture? The whole conclusion of relativism is that morality is a function of a cultural sphere and that moral absolutes don't exist.
Engels himself said that there is no eternal moral truth that exists among differing nations.
As relativists, this forum should conclude that what happens in that small village is a function of that village's moral sphere and move-on.
am all male village council huh?...let me guess they decide who the rapers get to beAn all-male village council has ordered that 23-year-old Meenakshi Kumari and her 15-year-old sister should be gang raped, have their faces blackened and then be paraded naked because their brother eloped with a married woman from a higher caste.

The common framework that we all love pleasure and freedom and all hate pain and incarcerationWhat basis do you have to conclude on the morality of an act without a moral framework
I criticize all cultures for their norms and morals, even my own, using the general rubric of pain /pleasure/freedom /incarceration, I described earlierobviously, you don't believe in relativism because you freely criticize other cultures and their own norms and morals.
You're the one putting this sub forum into the relativist sphere so it can fit your way of arguing with us. The reality is far more simpler : whatever we believe in, we do and think what want. Same as you.
And the criticism of that sentence isn't about the morality of the punishment, it's about the logic of it : the punishment doesn't fall on the one who faulted.
These are the dalits y'all cape for though.
Its specifically an indian village.Live in India brehs
Who told you that?Moral absolutism is a highly conservative stance
Because we're too busy wearing LL bean polos and drinking pumpkin lattesIts specifically an indian village.
