Should unpopular thoughts be expressed even if wrong?

Unpopular thoughts have always been the conduit for hatred and scorn. People believe that if someone offers a thought to the world that they don't like, that they can offer hatred and derision to them as well. However, if a thought is given without malice and without statements that they aren't open to changes, than why is there such open hatred?

I recently said a thought that I had: With the current state of women, I believe women are better off submissive to men, and I believe that the purpose of women are geared towards this (in not so many words), and I was met with hate and everything else under the sun.

Now, people seem to repent only if they are proven wrong. Yet, even if they aren't wrong, shouldn't thoughts be made manifest so that truth can be shined? Seems people will always despise difference until they can transform it into the norm.

Take care,

Yes

A while back, I suggested "Instead of people selling their bodies to science, why don't they sell their bodies to food companies?" Needless to say, even though the idea was to let people still make money now for their body to be used later for the nutritional benefit for animals (or possibly humans) it wasn't very well received.

I guess that's why people don't think outside the box as often anymore...

Sometimes the truth can be ugly and extremely unpopular, but it is what it is. People can either deal with it or not.

Express whatever you think. Expect others to say what they believe, as well. You just might learn something from others, as well as others will learn from you.

The only thing I think I need to say is your mind might not be changed as well as others minds might not be changed.

I responded to you without hate, although our views may differ somewhat.

It is not always WHAT you say, it might be HOW you say it.

Just sayin'

They should be submissive to each other. I let my wife use her strengths and I use mine. I hardly ever make a decision without getting my wife advise and let her be a part of it. She at times lets me think it is my idea. Lol A really good woman makes her man feel that he is in charge.

Free speech is anything BUT free. It has always come at a cost, and it always will.

Of course they should. Even if someone's mentality is completely insane, expressing it creates a better understanding. Free speech is one of the greatest things in American Society. Sometimes the price of it though is coming across statements and mentalities that are shocking and offensive. Personally I'd rather be revolted by a comment than to have to be told what I can and can't say.

Even if a thought is wrong or right, it should be expressed to arrive at truth. How can you find truth unless you know what is right and wrong?
