A modest proposal – language: a feminist guide:
… don’t I think that women and girls can be “just as bad” as men and boys?
If that’s a general claim about moral conduct, then the answer is yes: for me “the radical notion that women are people” entails the belief that women are no more virtuous than men. But if it’s specifically a claim about sexual and domestic violence, then the answer is no, because it simply isn’t true.
Also:
you can mislead, distort or obfuscate by omission: bias isn’t just about what you do say, it’s also about what you choose to leave unsaid.
