Several questions ago I asked about the appropriateness of manipulating hypotheticals (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Al2tgGfK2tnd9ffbV7S7.yjsy6IX?qid=20061129032257AArF4fE) when the elements therein aren't very implausible. What I want to do here is give an example of the kind of manipulation I was thinking of, but my example will probably be controversial and offensive to some.
In the question, linked below, the asker, albeit without as much tact as perhaps he could have used, asked men how they would respond to women that are not sexually giving or receiving. My own answer was not the most respectful either. But my problem is that several respondents apparently assumed that the women were likely not as defined, and that the problem is likely one of a man not being "romantic" enough. While that's possibly true in most cases in real life, does not the asker have the right, even if insensitive, to ask a question using specific character models?
