Sorry for the snipping...
No I don't pass a moral judgement on the issue (which btw is rubbish),
what I judge is his persistence (his wife left him over his obsessive
behviour btw) in promoting his greivously flawed POV, giving succour to
a breed of misogynist that is still very much in evidence. If it was
remotely valid, I would have to deal with it, and I would not use a
moral framework to do so. My judgement is of him and his refusal to stfu.
