That would make pretty much the entire male population rapists then.

That's a good idea, but I don't think it goes far enough. Why don't we ban all social interaction between men and women completely?
It might not "excuse" it, but it does mean people who get all sanctimonious about British colonialism aren't to be taken seriously.
I don't consider Afrocentric books to be credible sources. Just because some French aristocrat had a black servant, it doesn't mean there was a Black Presence™.
Well, take it up with the feminists. They were the ones who blurred the definition. In any case, though, the point is that murderers will murder regardless of what society thinks, because they don't give a damn. Legitimate rapists are the same. Asking them nicely not to rape won't make any difference.
Well until we admit that the intended audience who most need it are black males, I don't think it ever will reach them. Focusing on the relatively rare incidents involving white males just so feminists can shout "But white guys do it too!" is doing a great disservice to women.
The definition of "rape" is ever-expanding, so that's probably easier said than done.
Could they also put up a note saying no more "How Not To Rape" guides? There seems to be one of these at least once every week. Everyone's already got the message by now. Rape is wrong. The problem is, the people who are rapists in the first place just don't give a damn.
It makes sense that wealthy men would have had the power, I just don't see why it's an issue. Why shouldn't the elite - the most intelligent and successful men - be the leaders? What's so noble about being poor and stupid, and why do some people assume they'd be inherently better leaders? If history is anything to go…
White, wealthy men? Why wouldn't they be white? In 1800s Europe, "white" would have been pretty much redundant as a descriptor. And what does it matter if they were? Why do entitled minorities think they have a right to privilege and power in a white society?
I hope it was even more amazing than you expected.
The British never violently dehumanized Africans as much as Africans dehumanized each other. The Bantu tribes killed and ate the pygmy tribes, after all. On the whole, the British were actually pretty human and benevolent rulers.
"African-themed" immediately conjures up images of lions, zebras, elephants, giraffes, rhinos, etc, and I expect that's what William was aiming for. It's got nothing to do with the people or their culture and language. It's about the animals, and the terrain and environment, none of which are confined to any…
Agreed. Only black Africans should be allowed to hunt chimpanzees to extinction for bushmeat, or kill off the rhino and elephant population for their horns and tusks.
It's also not as if the British treated the people of Africa any worse than the Africans treated each other. In fact, the British treated them much better, so they've got nothing to feel guilty about. The British on the whole were pretty humane and benevolent rulers.
Society hates vaginas? How so? They would have censored the cover just the same if it featured penises instead.
History class is where we hear about how Evil White Males are responsible for everything that is wrong with the world, invented slavery, wiped out the Native Americans, and so on. That's not white history, that's incitement to racial hatred.
Perhaps he did, but the wife of a middle-class white Englishman would have had significant power over lower-class white Englishmen, so it's meaningless to use these individual examples to make some wider point about race or gender. And as I say, just because the people in power were white and male, that doesn't mean…
But when you start comparing, this is where it starts getting ridiculous. I mean why single out whites and males? Surely a "normal" sized white female is also more privileged than a morbidly obese or excessively thin woman. You could even argue that a normal Asian woman or Indian man is more privileged. You see how…
You'll have to spell it out for me. Are you suggesting that because every president prior to Obama was white and male, that means "white males" held all "the powah", because that's not the case at all. It doesn't work like that.
