Your body manipulates hormones and neurochemicals ALL THE TIME. It’s called puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, ingesting chocolate, tea, coffee, etc., etc.

It’s not simply a “rich white problem.” Many Black Lives Matter people routinely insult other groups, especially American Indians and Asians, never checking their brand of racism because, of course, “slave” is only in reference to them and they’re the only group that can be disenfranchised. They’re equal to any rich…

Even if we could take away the 300 million+ guns and ammo in this country, we’d still have a problem with violence and mass killings because we aren’t willing to have the discussion about the entitlement issues of young men. It doesn’t matter the race, ethnicity, or religion; we have raised young men between the ages…

Except we’d need to make a call to Florida; Limbaugh would need extra help to reach escape velocity.

No, he didn’t. One word: PRISM. That’s a very neo-conservative idea and Obama all but congratulated James Clapper for lying to Congress. Or his idiot comment about how ISIS/Daesh was “JV terrorism?” Or even the debacle in Ukraine? How about the fact that he couldn’t be assed to march with (or assed to send a…

Search psychoanalytical feminism and see if I’m full for shit, dear :)

(1) social studies include women’s studies (obviously , as women are at the core of the society)

You hit the nail on the head. Exactly.

The social sciences predate feminism and women’s issues, so one does not necessarily bode with the other.

That’s smart and I hope it works, as that’s what it is designed to do. However, in most countries, men will refuse, and women will be stuck with the kids anyway.

I think the “Moral Majority” is comparable to the Taliban. Olympia Snow or Chris Christie? Not so much.

You must be from outside the US, because that is NOT how it works here. Adjuncts/substitutes do NOT receive benefits and they are the ones who cover women on family leave. Even female professors or tenured teachers cannot just find another teacher to cover them for a months to a year: most already teach a full load…

And how, pray tell, did previously-secular countries like Iran or Afghanistan become theocratic? Revolutions and bullshit laws.

Actually, it’s not stupid and I don’t disagree with anything you’ve written.

Except that it hasn’t served Europe well at all. Yes, the EU has extensive family leave, but the sexism is inherent and often worse than in the USA. Unlike in the US, where asking a woman about her personal life is illegal, it is perfectly legal and expected in Europe. A lot of women are forced into part-time jobs and…

I’m going to break up your post:

Trump’s a corporate shill. The only difference is that he’s CEO.

I can’t agree with this at all. While women have historically faced a glass ceiling, they have forced themselves into a corner by refusing to question the identity politics of what is a woman.

I looked it up in my Larousse and a dictionary from the Office de la langue française au Québec — it carries the same meaning in both French de la Métropole and French du Québec. Régime in French does mean system, but it has a stronger undertone. It means a set of political, moral, or legal traditions that an…

Francis is a Jesuit; apparently, some of them learned from history.
