When and why did everyone become such a HUGE FAN of Susan Rice? Or is this just "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" and people love her because some politicians and GOP-aligned pundits have scapegoated her?

There's not a shred of evidence that she was lying.

Women Under Siege is a pretty amazing project that works on tracking sexual/gb violence in conflict. That might be a place to start researching and thinking about how/where you'd like to get involved. http://www.womenundersiegeproject.org/

For those interested in this subject, Human Rights Watch released a very long (119 pp) but very readable report entitled "'I HAD TO RUN AWAY': The Imprisonment of Women and Girls for 'Moral Crimes' in Afghanistan" earlier this year. It includes history, case studies, recommendations, legal situation and much more.…

Hahahahahahaha. Haha. Oh God, I love you baby.

Really? No change happened before the 20th C.? Literacy for some women? A developing theory of human rights that paved the way for the acknowledgement of the humanity of women? What counts as "change," hon? And, uh, what exactly isn't going to happen soon?

Do you think you "understand women," darling?

Is that because Dystopiq says "this social order is permanent"? Or is there another reason?

Oh! My apologies. I paste what I said above.

Masturbating over Call of Duty?! Baby! Is this a thing that is done? What don't I know about you?

Great! Step 2: Stop punching people. Step 3: Stop talking about "hypothetically" punching women online.

I tried to explain this already. Sigh. When you talk about "special" treatment, you're talking about treatment that differs from a standard set up for how men should treat men. Women don't want to be treated according to that standard. True. Women also don't want men to treat each other according to that standard.…

Harpies? How old are you, hon?

Yes, we do get to pick and choose. Sweetie, this is a very simple error. Women want good treatment. We want men to treat us well re: "same benefits and treatment," as you say. We want men to treat us well also in choosing to not physically abuse us. Men physically abusing men isn't something we encourage. We want to…

Men who are not you? Right? In that case, instead of getting your panties in a knot (to use your phrase) over women's behavior, why not get your panties in a knot about men's uncivil behavior towards other men? Why not say: men: stop punching the shit out of each other! Treat each other like you treat women!

Huh? You were talking about punching the shit out of women to show...what exactly? If you want me to give you my umbrella because your hair might get fucked up by the rain, then you damn better be ready to be punched in the face in the...uh...HYPOTHETICAL...situation in which I do that!!!

You should absolutely defend yourself when you're physically assaulted. Most men are able to defend themselves by just deflecting hits and leaving the situation, when women try to assault them. But it's different for each person. Some women are stronger than the norm; some men are weaker. If you personally can only…

This might have already been said (I'm too lazy to read all the responses to you), but offering umbrellas to women and not men makes sense for these reasons (among others): if a woman's shirt gets wet, it becomes a big sexual deal to passersby (wet t-shirt contests!); women wear make-up that can get massively fucked…

Are you joking, or are you really, honestly, unsure about whether or not holding doors in a gender-neutral way, especially "doors that close super fast," is okay? I suspect you're trolling given your opener ("ignorant moron here") and just looking for validation from the ladies (You're a good guy! Etc. — which you're…

Unfortunately, Lolita *is* the only book (the only thing of any kind, really) I want to discuss these days. I'm terribly sorry that it's so bothersome to you. I expect it to continue for a couple more weeks... maybe you should take a break from Jez and come back then?
