Cultural Sensibility

Emma of Late Night Thoughts (link at sidebar) doesn't blog nearly as often as I wish she did, but as the saying goes "what's there is cherce." I've never seen a bad or throwaway entry from her. Check out her latest on cultural sensitivity. "I don't care if this makes me 'insensitive' or 'incorrect' or whatever the hell moniker you're giving these days to those who make cultural judgments and find some cultures wanting. Women are valuable beings in their own right, and a culture that systematically victimizes them is not one that I consider worthy of survival. I don't care if it's based on the Bible, the Koran, the Upanishads or the Sixteen Commandments of UggaBugga." I love this woman.
