The 'it was another time' argument doesn't work on me because we don't look back on black slave women being raped by their owners and say "Well, those are the times."

We say, "There is no reason for this sort of thing." Period.

How outragious! Bringing up homophobia in a conversation about sexism and racism!

And while we're on that...

" a bit harsh especially when you're insinuating I'mokay with it."

I didn't insinuate anything. I thought it prudent to respond to your historical tolerance to my historical intolerance.

"What I said is to judge a book purely on things that WERE acceptable at the time"

Raping slaves WAS acceptable at the time. So, my point stands.
