My boyfriend and I are poly. He told me he was poly when we started, so I was like “Sure?”

That’s basically it for me. I try to buy as “local” as I can. Every study shows a Walmart destroys a small town, but many small stores make the town thrive.

Sorry, but you are misinterpreting everything I said, except for the ugly porn stars.

To me, I don’t see much of a difference. It’s still based on the idea women should please men. Many of the men in porn are pretty ugly. It basically says that women shouldn’t get to desire attractive partners. Meanwhile, it’s quite clear men get their desired aesthetics. Again, note these robots are almost always…

Yet actual victims say time and again how they are treated like criminals for reporting a crime. And with hundreds of thousands of rape kits no one bothered testing, and a conviction rate of around five percent. You can see why people don’t trust anyone in the justice system to get them actual justice.

Well, your last paragraph is what I’m trying and failing to say. I’m just sick of the fact that people don’t want to say anything bad about a religion/culture/whatever to the point they are just saying X to contradict the far Right. I wonder how they would even deal with things like the old practice of wife burning.…

Yup. I would love a sex robot. I don’t see how this is much different from dildos. The thing that pisses me off is the shit she is saying, and the whole “Live to serve you” thing.

There is no group of people, no religion (or lack thereof), no gender, no nationality, no nothing that doesn’t have horrible people in the group. I think the Le Pen’s of the world like to think everyone but them are horrible. The conservatives. But liberals tend to take the exact opposite stance as if that is at all…

There has never been a matriarchy. The closest we have on record is matrilineal cultures. Men still had more political power. They were still valued more highly. Name me this matriarchy. Sorry, but IronPushy is right that women across the globe, and throughout history, have always been seen as inferior.

Keep in mind, we also have strict religious dress over in the “West” as well. Again, we must cover our nipples because we are sex objects and are not considered equal to men.

First, Islam is not a race. I’m sick of people conflating legitimate criticism of Islam with racism. Yes, there are idiots who think all Middle Easterns are Muslims. They are definitely idiots. That doesn’t take away from legitimate criticism.

“There is no shortage of discussions on how shitty conditions for women are in the Middle East.”

Well, it certainly helps, but unfortunately not every “problem” person is going to have a record (obviously).

Well, part of it, I think is if the person has a history of violence and stalking, the police should actually try to take it seriously, and maybe he should be put in prison for life.

Yes, women’s rights are pretty terrible, even in the US. But why is it that every time a legitimate criticism comes up, the best anyone can do is derail the topic?

Yes, and let’s forget about My Stealthy Freedom on Facebook. They have daily posts, like how everyone is pissed off about United, but a woman wearing “bad hijab” was dragged out of her car and beaten before her flight. My Stealthy Freedom wouldn’t exist if there wasn’t a problem with “bad hijab” and morality police…

This is why I don’t believe gender/sex/whatever you call it. I know it pisses people off that want to pronounce “I am female, I am male,” but to me, it’s all social conditioning. Even if you have been raised one way your whole life, you still know the “other” way. To me, it’s all gender roles. If you are raised as a…

I think the problem is that you guys are both right. Innocent Muslims are scapegoated. But this is the whole issue to begin with. Fundamentalist Muslims also target innocent victims in their attempts to strike back at governments they feel are responsible for destabilizing their countries/killing civilians (in their…

I already explained in pretty clearly. If you are offered one type of jellybean, and you don’t want it, that doesn’t mean you don’t like jellybeans. It means you don’t like that one type. Basically on repeat here.
