Assault is assault whether you're killing people or putting your hands on someone. Fact is, it shouldn't happen period if we are better. I don't need ...

We are still assaulting people for what their orientation is, or what their racial makeup is. Point is we are still hurting people for a makeup they d...

To what? If your behavior is maladaptive do you wish for them to say nothing? In addition to everything else you have said you have to understand that...

We are talking about an asteroid hitting earth which results in a catastrophic event.
April 21, 2019 at 15:56
It does today because humanity very much depends on technology. We also depend on technology to deflect asteroids from hitting earth.
April 21, 2019 at 15:55
Ok so we're back to culture and not laws even though media wise, Shari'ah Law is to blame for the killings of homosexuals. Ok so you're now saying tha...
April 20, 2019 at 13:33
No it hasn't. I'm talking about a catastrophe with all of our knowledge, and technology as we have today because it is from technology that we have ad...

Didn't mean for it to bother you. Let me rephrase in saying that feminism as a stand alone philosophy is of itself valuable to those who see value in ...

"Black Feminism" does affect me because for one I'm black, and two, the sexual oppression that black women have historically as well as currently face...

I missed the part where there were issues with you with English being your second language.
April 20, 2019 at 00:59
Can you elaborate? I'm sorry brain is not working properly.
April 20, 2019 at 00:58
Good point.
April 20, 2019 at 00:56
No it's not. Let me help you. For example I believe any social movement that develops from the oppression of a minority group, that movement is speaki...

And neither is it in all 50 Muslim countries or Muslim dominated countries. All Muslim countries have various laws both from the local governments and...

Thus is my point about feminism..
April 20, 2019 at 00:26
I see it as part of the umbrella but not THE umbrella.
April 20, 2019 at 00:25
Nope, I didn't.
April 20, 2019 at 00:25
As I said: How is egalitarianism a form of hypermasculinity? For a personal question to you as a black man who has lived under the oppression of syste...
April 20, 2019 at 00:07
Can you elaborate? I'm curious about your comment. To supplant humanism or egalitarianism with gender based equality called feminism?
April 19, 2019 at 23:59
I'm neither white, nor middle aged, nor do I subscribe to the cis label but I am a male. Let me explain my position on egalitarianism: As far as actin...
April 19, 2019 at 23:46
I'm sorry excuse me for reminding people of the exordium of introducing how the pot met the kettle. Of course I think being killed for your sexual ori...
April 19, 2019 at 23:39
Ah yes Wikipedia the go-to website I'm going to use the source from a writer and self-declared feminist: "The movement was given the name ‘feminism’ b...
April 19, 2019 at 23:22
Neither does the west. Just because we aren't actively throwing gay people off buildings or performing public executions does not mean the west is sig...
April 19, 2019 at 17:48
But women still face issues in the West. Women are still vilified online, at work place, in the occupational setting etc. Our issues concerning men's ...
April 19, 2019 at 17:46
Is this an insinuation or you know?
April 19, 2019 at 17:43
Nope that is the conditioned answer. I'm an egalitarian, and quite frankly as well as technically that is NOT feminism.

Hey man whatever works for you. I'm glad you ultimately found companionship. For me, I've lived 37 years plus 14 years was spent trying to find the ri...
April 19, 2019 at 17:38
Currently I don't see a benefit to both to humanity. Unless we come from a position of intersectionality, which we don't which is a problem I don't se...
April 19, 2019 at 13:04
Well the problem with that is academics especially female academics will perhaps argue from the philosophical position that we have learned for so lon...

Of course, a great example is the brain stem and its function. But it doesn't change the fact that sentience is a byproduct of consciousness. Why is i...
April 19, 2019 at 03:22
Right but the inquiries that we all seek and share here will be lost. The contemplative "does God exist" or "I think therefore I am" will too, be lost...

That is a hook up site. I know a nurse who was pregnant from a guy off that site. She now has a child. I'm not "dissing" the people that use tinder bu...
April 19, 2019 at 01:31
I believe the state of being consciousness is an extension of one being sentient. The frame of questioning is on par with asking the question of why t...
April 18, 2019 at 23:34
Can you be more specific when you say what are my thoughts? Thoughts in what way? In general?
April 18, 2019 at 23:09
Well it depends on how the question is framed. If you're looking for an answer to which it may be complex, you'll be disappointed. That is like someon...

I can be an advocate of something but if I consider the support I'm not going to be a part of the movement closely. If people want a men's rights move...
April 17, 2019 at 17:14
Again history has shown otherwise, and I'm 37 I have not seen that in my life time. I would have to see that if you can give me the link to that fact....

April 17, 2019 at 00:22
Can you put up the direct quote where I said that? I agree. I agree, but the question raised by the original post was "should a men's rights movement ...
April 17, 2019 at 00:17
That remains to be seen. Considering that there were many women of color who have faced sexism and sexual assault and there haven't been any outspoken...
April 17, 2019 at 00:09
You don't know me in real life but okay. Do you have anything to substantiate this claim of yours? Meaning, since you are saying more people in Israel...
April 16, 2019 at 23:54
True. But what I'm saying is that the grievances proposed by feminism in its original context was not meant for "all women" just as the grievances pro...
April 16, 2019 at 23:41
Well, race does matter when it comes to examining perspectives. When you're looking at disadvantages and things of that nature unfortunately race does...
