@weissman: hmm, so although he's got rid of (apparently) the noumena, he's reintroduced it through a back door - ie individually rather than collectively; interesting idea.

I'm a bit irked that a comment trivializing sexism against women and suggesting men are the real victims in the West is getting upvotes and support on an ostensibly critical-minded website with a philosophy focus, but as a moderator it's not really my place to continue the debate :(

Well now it's just devolving into a debate in the comments, regardless
