At least he’s not receiving funds from private prison lobbies.

Both of the Clintons have received campaign money from private prison lobbies for years. It’s not all that surprising to me that Bill has these views. I’d like to hope that Hillary is less so, but she promised she’d stop accepting funds from private prison lobbies last year and didn’t. She gets the same amount of…

I’d like to point out that BLM protesters are not just protesting Hillary’s statements all those years ago. Hillary promised to stop receiving campaign funds from private prison lobbies last year. She hasn’t. She still receives as many contributions from private prison lobbies as Ted Cruz.

They’re protesting that and the fact that, even though she promised to stop receiving funds from private prison lobbies last year, she didn’t.

Exactly! All these MRA types love to think of men as downtrodden, but they do little to nothing for the most vulnerable men out there. They’re silent about male victims of sexual assault unless they’re trying to derail a feminist argument about female victims. They’re silent about trans men. They’re silent about gay…

Ah, gotcha. It happens. Sorry about the snippy tone!

Right?! Where’s the piece about this guy? That’s who I’d want to read about.

When a case like that comes up, we can discuss it. Bringing it up here is derailing a discussion about an important topic, so you won’t get any good replies about it here.

To point out that the media still does a piss-poor job covering rape cases. Was that not clear?

I think the concept of death might be something first graders can understand in the context of elderly people and maybe pets, but probably not fellow children. Since we live in a time where most children reach adulthood, it may be that kids think death is something that happens only after you get old first. They…

The truth about things like that is that they are meant to release frustration with the system that has disenfranchised them. It’s like when women make jokes about men. It’s frustrating to live in a system that forces women to work twice as hard as men for half the recognition, so we make jokes about men to release…

I don’t think anyone expects this type of behavior, but I think your vision of Germany is skewed. Women have been criticizing Germany’s handling of sexual assault for years. They only criminalized marital rape in 1997, after a nearly thirty-year battle. This article from two years ago is on the same subject: Source

I’m 100% on board with you here. Yes, it’s appropriate to question the validity of these anonymous accusations, but I think the larger problem is that men are still doing this and women have no system in place (save telling one another about it in secret) to effectively report it. I think these kinds of anonymous…

I’m not saying there are no cultural differences. And yes, in some ways, Syria is further along than the US. They have paid maternity leave and higher representation of women in upper level government positions. We can talk about the intricacies of the vast cultural differences all we want, but, like it or not,…

Just one? They have paid maternity leave for new mothers.

You literally said “countries that have few to no rights for women, and have been raised to view women as objects for their use and pleasure.” You then when on to acknowledge (as the article also points out) that many countries have exactly the same problem. If it’s a cultural issue, it’s one that is shared by all…

Isn’t that exactly the point? You said that these men come from countries where they were raised to see women as objects. That’s, as you just pointed out, everywhere in the world. Where they came from is not irrelevant, but it’d be silly to try to condemn these countries for not supporting women’s rights when, in a…

It’s also incredible how long we’ve been asking exactly these questions. I’m a teaching assistant for a an introductory English class. Part of the class is learning to close read (paying attention to language, literary techniques and conventions, etc) and we just finished a novel, published in 1797, called The Coquette…

This is a nit-picky thing, but why hyphenate the word bisexual? It’s been spelled without the hyphen for a very long time.

I’m a millennial. I am a Bernie supporter and I’m not going to go on a huge tirade about it. The two candidates are basically on the same page, although he’s more idealistic and she has some troubling ties to Wall Street and private prisons. It’s that stuff that makes me prefer Bernie to her. Yes, he’s idealistic but…
