A Quality Comment from Concernedfeminist
I don't have time to answer this comment right now, but when I get a good comment from someone who passionately disagrees with me, I like to highlight it.
Concernedfeminist left this comment on the first Aliza Shvarts post below.
She says:
To assume that the reasons her professors and advisers approved of such a project is because of their secular, pro-choice views is just as naive as Shvarts's belief that her actions will draw attention to the political nature of art. What she has done has actually (quite irresponsibly) undermined whatever gains prochoicers have made in the past few decades. She's conflating a woman's right to choose with destruction of her own body, further engendering stereotypes of pro-choice advocates as advocates of serial murder. Unless her politics are aligned with anti-abortion advocates, she hasn't done anyone any favors.
Ninety percent of the comments I recieve from people who disagree are little more than insults or poor attempts at parody.
Concernedfeminist seems able to rise above that kind of thing to be a person capable of real conversation. How refreshing.
