1. ‘At its core, Feminism blames the intangible "Patriarchy" (see: men) for all of the problems of the world.’
1. ‘I'm working towards holding everyone accountable for their actions and not blaming one single group of people for everything that's wrong in our world. Unfortunately, that's in direct opposition to feminism.'
Just because some women are happy with their pay does not mean that all women are, and it certainly doesn't mean that its okay to underpay women either. That's like saying we should ignore global issues like sweatshops because some of the people working there are happy and don't want to question the system. Its too…
As a woman, I can share similar feelings. Lately, I've been thinking about how I've basically been between home and school, trying to finish my degree. I have not gone out that much in the past few years, even by homebody standards, and I've been kind of down about how I don't have a life and how I haven't been…
1. ‘So what does murder represent? Reinforcing the belief that rape is somehow worse than murder and horrible dismemberment, it creates a falsehood and artificially places a larger stigma upon victims than it really should have.’
I don't know if you follow the news, but women's rights are constantly under threat even in areas where we have made advancements. This goes beyond abortion rights as well. We now have people wanting to push 'personhood' laws. These are laws which would deny women access to birth control like the pill and the IUD,…
You are ignoring the bigger social and political issues just because you personally like to feel needed. Which one of the following rights would you like your girlfriend to give up that were fought for her by the feminist movement?:

Whenever I use the word 'public' in an essay, I proof read it way more than usual in case I accidentally typed 'pubic'.
You clearly did not learn anything from that thread as you claimed to have done when you made this statement:
I definitely understand where you are coming from regarding disillusionment with politicians - not my actual political ideology, but the politicians who swear to uphold them. I’ve definitely had my share of disappointment in several politicians and I do believe that they deserve (fair) criticism. I guess I’m…
Feminism has its flaws, but its done a lot for the advancement of women's rights and equality.
Having a 10-month old sister does not prove someone's age. And even if it turns out that Madeleine's 22 or 25 or whatever it is that you've determined is the cut-off point, it still isn't right to exclude someone from discussing politics. A lot of people actually enter politics as a career straight out of university…
And again, you're not actually addressing what you find wrong with the content of Madeleine's article. You keep mentioning how click-baity the headline is, but that's true of a whole bunch of articles out there and the journalists behind them. Also, I don't know what clues you are referring to as giving away…
I'm 28 years old and I was 16 when the US invaded Iraq. I grew up in a house that very closely followed what was happening with the invasion and I really resent the idea that I'm somehow not allowed to have an opinion on it because I was a teenager at the time. WW2 ended 40 years before I was born but I'm pretty sure…
Yes it is still being investigated and like I said, its still premature to go ahead and say they've been found.
Also, unless the weapons have some kind of ACME labels on them that specifically say 'Property of Iraq', I think all these people saying 'See? We told you so' need to tone down their highly premature gleefulness.

Being young does not exclude someone from discussing politics. Also, you don't know how old Madeleine Davies is.
