This kind of inter-provincial stereotyping doesn't move Canada forward. You can't credibly maintain that all four million Albertans are ignorant rednecks.

Worse: women are servants and basically stupid; men mold the character and the intellect, which is why there's so much resentment about abortion: women are useful only when they're doing something for an actual human being. We're flower pots. Any old flower pot will do. The really important person is the farmer, …

It's more of a sport than fucking golf.

No. It is a life choice, but no reasonable person would expect people to forego that particular choice in order to hold onto a job.

Oh I don't know, why don't you ask almost every other country in the entire world (except Swaziland and Papua New Guinea) and see how they're managing.
Spoiler: A fuck ton better than the States.

And people have been curiously silent about how he should never have taken and sent those pictures. Whereas women are expected to hop in a time machine to fix things up, because giving advice after the event is brain dead stupid.

Are you totally unaware of other countries that implement this practice? Paid maternity leave in much of the world means getting paid your regular salary, whether that money comes from your employer or the government.

Why do I, an American citizen who does not want to

It needs to be gender neutral parental leave, both because it's important for new dads and lesbian partners to have time with their kids, and because it eliminates the incentive to hire men over women to avoid maternity leave costs and inconveniences.

But do you even care about raising women up? Or do you only care about not bringing men down? Fair enough if it's the latter, but I wish you'd just admit it. Or once in a while actually say something that relates to equality for women.

Dear commenters/burner trolls. Could you please stop being so fucking boring with your whining? God damn.

Guys? Can I make a suggestion?

AllanLPN is a troll. Sure, abortion is not normal to someone without a uterus. For one thing. For another, to Allan, a resultant child from an unwanted pregnancy is just the punishment for a woman, the necessary cross to bear, which trivialize the value of life. Because there is no more of a pro-life stance than to be…

I revere abortion. If I ever get pregnant, it will save my life - not because I wouldn't want a child, but because I don't have a uterus that can carry a fetus for 9 months without serious health consequences for both me and the fetus. So I revere it as a life-saving medical procedure. In your (clearly, well…

I don't think that PP thinks abortion is popular or revered (not even sure about normal). It is a medical procedure that allows women to choose to end a pregnancy that they do not want to carry to term. Wanting safe and legal access to a medical procedure is not the same thing a revering it.

Well, considering nearly a third of all women will have an abortion in their lifetime, I don't know why you don't think this is a "normal" or "popular" experience.

No, I'm not. For someone who basically concedes substantive points by omission and then throws another spaghetti strand at the wall instead, you're very condescending about the suitability of others' arguments. I continually attempt to steer this discussion toward the actual issue, but you're intent on avoiding it…

Men can't flash their dongs, women can't show their vaginas. Neither sex can show their asses. Both can show backs, ankles, faces, feet, and almost any other commonly or historically sexualized body part. Only women can't show nipples. That's the difference.

no one cares what you want. that's the point. so you might prefer not to see this, or real nipples, or any other number of things.
