Not sure of what the other poster meant, but one could argue the city was negligent in making the removal of the monument public. New Orleans, for example, has removed monuments on unspecified dates, in the dark of night. But of course, I can also see how someone might feel like this approach symbolizes a degree of…

To the jabroni who replied to me who I’m gonna keep in the grays;

Oh but if I went ‘round sayin’ I was President, just because some moistened bint lobbed a scimitar at me, they’d put me away.

Religion AND men. (Note that religion is a traditionally, historically and predominately a bastion of male aggression, corruption and their fragile ego.)

That seems irrational given that men are more likely to be murdered and more likely to be a victim of violence.

This guy looked around, saw men in power and came to the absurd conclusion that ipso facto, men are better than women - because if they weren’t, women would be in power. He showed the world just how poorly he researches his world view.

This is exactly what I believed up until very recently. In fact, in my posting history I think I’ve said very similar things.

As a white male I am part of a problem that if I didn’t directly cause am a least complicit in because of the invisible or visible advantages I’m given. It’s not matter of blame per say but responsibility. We HAVE to accept it otherwise no real progress can be made.

Yes, this.

THIS IS NOT GOING TO TURN INTO “LOOK RELIGION AND SCIENCE HAVE EQUAL BLAME”

Indeed, because it takes minimum logical hoops to understand that within the confines of a non hunter-gatherer society, the “might makes right” mindset which is the quintessential anti-intellectual pillar, simply crumbles under peer pressure. Unfortunately, our society, formed around the basis of a resource-scarcity…

Political belief is not a protected class, not even in Californian. Religious beliefs, are. Are Nazis a religion?

They aren’t banned from renting a house. They are banned from using Airbnb to facilitate the renting of a house.

YES. Everyone should want work/life balance. And everyone deserves it.

It’s society’s problem. Women are expected to pick up the slack. Dudepheelio is fucking awesome, as a lot of men are. But until we stop expecting women to carry the emotional load, nothing will change. I WANT parental leave for men. I WANT my male coworkers to take time off to care for their kids. I WANT men to be…

Anecdotally, anyone that has ever worked in technology and had been in an environment with little to no female representation can vouche for how fucking toxic it can be. It becomes self perpetuating as it makes it almost impossible for women to integrate once it gets engrained in the culture.

Gizmodo is not one of them, it leans hard left.

I would be wrong if it was not coming from the Biological community. There is no taxonomical classification for ‘race’, its historical roots are in separating “others” from “yourself” so see another person or group as not human and more specifical less than human.

Except that they are completely separate words, with different meanings.

Oh, there it is. Poor thing. Life is so hard. “Guys, why can’t I be an asshole at work?”
