That's not a debate. It's a shouting match. I *like* debates; they grow
and develop and make one think new thoughts. Shouting matches are just loud and dull. So, I agree, let's not.
Can I just say I've enjoyed this whole to-and-fro, and while I don't really agree with Wendy about this, I think she's stuck to her guns in quite a good humoured way. I kind of thought it might get a bit fraught, but I think it's been OK.
I also think there are two different responses getting mixed up, which are 'Deliverance is not sexist' (with reasons etc...), and 'it is ridiculous to say that something is sexist'. And I don't want to confuse them because I don't think the second point is actually ridiculous, though I might disagree about the details of the first.
