It is stupid, and that’s the point. She doesn’t believe in the concept of a patriarchy.
September 24, 2019 at 21:53
Perhaps, as someone noted, I’m equivocating between “society” and “the patriarchy”. I might be wrong on that, though I think it’s a distinction withou...

Foreign meddling, ladies and gentleman.
September 24, 2019 at 21:26
That’s not quite true. Men in general took the initial steps, sure, for instance shedding blood and fight for suffrage, but these initial these steps ...
September 24, 2019 at 21:17
No they didn’t have a voice. Then again, neither did most men. Suffrage is a fairly recent phenomenon, at least in historical terms.
September 24, 2019 at 21:11
Do you think the “intersectionality” of current feminism testifies to its moribundity? Or it’s strength?
September 24, 2019 at 21:08
Women have birthed 100% of men. I wager this has some modicum of an effect on society as we know it.
September 24, 2019 at 21:04
It says something of our ignorance. To assume women, half the population, had no bearing or influence on the course of history and society is ridiculo...
September 24, 2019 at 20:58
Indeed it was. Not only that but it cost far less.
September 24, 2019 at 20:56
Neither did men.
September 24, 2019 at 20:46
Which parts of society are not patriarchal?
September 24, 2019 at 20:46
Probably not. Your point?
September 24, 2019 at 20:45
Everyone but you. You have resorted to snark and name-calling. Excuse me while I dismiss everything you say as piffle.
September 24, 2019 at 20:43
A few Facebook ads and twitter bots worked better than the entire DNC media-machine and the entire American media.
September 24, 2019 at 20:42
I don’t even know what it’s called. There are plenty Queens, Pharoahs and Emperors of the female sex throughout history. Exactly, where previous femin...
September 24, 2019 at 20:26
I don’t mean to pooh pooh feminism, I just recoil at its latest iteration. I understand it’s necessity during certain periods and places. However, if ...

Traditionally, all these men who start wars and call themselves heroic were raised by women during the most important moments of their upbringing. Hop...

Looks like Trump will be releasing the transcript of the call with the Ukrainian president. Good stuff. We’ll see if the calls for impeachment and tre...

Traditionally, men have toiled in work, given their lives in war, and gathered enough resources to supply their families with a decent life in order t...

I would argue it benefits woman and children more than it benefits men. But of course there are upsides and downsides. Because they are women?
September 24, 2019 at 19:09
But those “neglected intersectional issues”, such as “poverty and natural hair rights”, also apply to men. If feminism is turning intersectional it is...
September 24, 2019 at 19:00
That’s a weird way of looking at it. The bias of candidate #2, who has a stake in the very same election and much to gain, far outweighs that of any o...

FISA courts have been around since the seventies. So no. As far as I can tell, this is the first time it was used on an opposing political campaign. U...
September 24, 2019 at 18:40
That is insufficient because it fails to mention who was paying for the information and seeking to benefit from it, candidate #2 and her campaign. Tha...
September 24, 2019 at 17:46
I’m not sure why feminism would even try to be intersectional. The female sex is a very broad umbrella and should, at least theoretically, cover every...

Nothing of Steele’s rampant anti-Trumpism or that the client of the law firm was candidate #2’s campaign.
September 24, 2019 at 17:26
We know that Steele sourced his info from Russian intelligence. He said as much in the dossier. This dossier was used to throw American politics, Amer...
September 24, 2019 at 17:18
Now you don’t care that an American campaign was working with Russian intelligence to get dirt on their opponent in order to influence an election. Is...

Huge turn of events, not only Brexit but for UK history. The Supreme Court, just 10 years old, has never intervened in politics to this extent.

I only apologized because you’re right and I was wrong. The topic is very important and we should not lose track of it.
September 24, 2019 at 15:23
Yes, certain actions are not wrong because they are illegal, certain actions are illegal because they’re wrong. This is why we cannot appeal to law fo...

In fact, it was those working for the opposing campaign that spread Russian-sourced active measures to the willing, who lapped it up with nary any cri...

I don’t blame him. I’d avoid that cult of personality at all costs.
September 23, 2019 at 21:53
In a country that punishes insult and disparagement of the president, I suppose that’s to be suspected.
September 23, 2019 at 20:32
It was a ruse, a fraud, a swindle, a trick, a hoax. Believers were duped.
September 23, 2019 at 19:58
There was. Russian collusion was a theme of the media and, not coincidentally, the DNC for years. You guys believed it all, and spent years promoting ...

DNC-funded, anti-Trump opposition research led to the spying of their political opposition, and led a vast subsection of credulous voters to believe i...

I agree it needs congressional oversight. There is one legitimate defence to not releasing the complaint. It’s a matter of privilege, according to the...

Parliament? Yes, you’re right, Congress should investigate the executive branch. But as far as I know Trump is not investigating anyone. In fact, he w...

That’s completely fair. It is inevitable that Joe Biden’s campaign will suffer, even if him and his son are found innocent of any wrong doing. But rem...

Alright, I concede. The authorities can arrest innocent people, and in fact every law enforcement agency throughout the world does so.
September 23, 2019 at 16:30
The entire point of due process is to avoid arbitrary arrest. No, you cannot arrest people if they haven’t committed a crime, and if you mistakenly an...
September 23, 2019 at 16:26
Halfwits believe one can be arrested without having committed a crime. Halfwits and authoritarians believe in arbitrary arrest.
September 23, 2019 at 16:20
Should be easy to find a law or something that states you don’t have to have committed a crime to be arrested. Hell, it’s how law enforcement works ev...
