I was not referring to Baron-Cohen's hypothesis. Rather I was referring to Dr. Tony Atwood, one of the few handful specialists in AS on the planet.

This is an interesting issue that came up in my personal life because I have Asperger's Syndrome. That is a neurological disorder, sort of autism at the high-end of the functioning scale. It affects mostly males, last I read was something like ninety to ninety-five percent of those with AS are male. For those…

This reminds me of the Morgentaler case decided in 1993 by the Supreme Court of Canada. The Nova Scotia provincial government enacted similar regulations under its authority to legislate in the realm of "health care." The practical effect was to restrict abortions outside a hospital. It took the supreme court about…

In theory I agree. But that is not unique to feminism (or any other "ism"). I am an Aboriginal and see it first-hand. In the old days, it was white men who came to our communities to "civilize" us. Anyone with an iota of knowledge about the dark history in Canada of centuries of oppression of our people knows it is a…

Not an MRA, unless by that you mean a "Me Rights Activist." My original point is not meant to say only white women are hypocritical. At least I am transparent in that I am a self-interested asshole, so I care more about the tanking price of oil than the plight of women in my own community. The issue I take with…

Actually the reference to Marx was in response to someone who raised the issue first. Read the thread properly.

Where did you get that I have a shitty view on black women? Seems that if anything, I expressed a shitty view on mainstream (white) feminism. I was silent one way or the other on black women, Chinese women, gay women, and women from Timbuktu... or any other type of woman you can imagine.

On the last point, I already conceded I am not particularly passionate about the plight of black women (nor am I passionate about Palestine, Tibet, global warming). At least you admit to being irrational in that what I am or am not is completely separate and apart from the merits of my argument. Likewise whether I…

I don't see how reiterating a critique echoed by plenty of black feminists to be either racist or misogynistic. The second and third sentence show you completely missed my position.

Whether I care or not does not in any way impact the soundness of my initial argument. In law school that was the first thing they taught us; you argue all sorts of matters unpassionately. Do I particularly care about abortion? Controversy of Islamic head-dress? Family law matters? Not particularly, but I have had to…

Ironic, I was attempting to convey the same message to white women lol ... Again with the labels though. What is your definition of "misogyny"; does it mean anyone who disagrees or challenges a feminist? It is a far overused term and has therefore lost any meaning. A feminist to normal speak translator would define it…

I don't identify as such, but how is that relevant in any way? Labels and ad hominem attacks are used to shut down a debate (see Derailing 101). The question to your answer should be obvious in that MRAs typically are combative and make completely incoherent arguments. In fairness to many of them, they do not receive…

I have to call bullshit on this one. Mainstream feminism from the suffrage movement to present day has primarily benefitted white, middle-class women. As a matter of fact, the "Famous Five" in Canada who are the Matron Saints of Canadian feminism were at the forefront of the eugenics movement. Emily Murphy, the first…

This clearly must apply only to women. A woman can pass cute in sweatpants. However, a dude, especially one "between jobs" in sweatpants will give off the Seth Rogan in Knocked Up vibe. Sorry, but a dude is sweatpants is asking to be dumped!

My divorce cost me peanuts. I have citizenship in multiple jurisdiction, and I filed my papers in Argentina. Their family law system doesn't rape men in the ass. Therefore, I filed in Buenos Aires and my alimony payments only lasted a year with a monthly benefit of $1000 Argentine Pesos monthly (about $75US) :D :D :D

I would blame "me-first" feminism for the discrimination in the workplace. I have lost count the number of time childless women or women with older children toss pregnant/new mothers under the bus all the while paying lip-service to paid maternity leaves and the mythical "wage gap."

I know a few places to get decent rates in Resistencia and San Martin, Salta .... Ciudad del Este is where it is all at!!! It is literally a bazaar of anything and everything illegal!!! I love the Friendship Bridge between Argentina and Brazil.

Seems to me if a woman is smart enough to get accepted into college, she ought to know that the frat boys didn't invite her over because they value her opinion on the solution to achieving peace and stability the Middle East or discuss the works of Ludwig Wittgenstein... Assuming she was not drugged or forcibly plied…

This debate was closed a few years ago. Our National Anthem is fine as is. Not everything needs a PC makeover.
