what are you talking about

“The female-only train cars will be available close to where the attacks took place, “on the Leipzig to Chemnitz line, positioning the carriages next to the train conductor,” according to the Telegraph—a line that (no surprise) runs near Cologne.”

Being jewish I find your conflation of those two, very different circumstances, offensive.

All women. Germany has more progression and protection in law for trans people than a lot of US states actually. All women including German celebrities like Kim Petras would be included. Modern Germany has very strict discrimination laws about using public spaces.

Without deciding for myself whether I think these carts would ultimately benefit or harm an equal society, I’d like to point out that the transportation company in question has issued a statement about this plan in which they say that there is no connection between the sexual assaults this article talks about and the…

You seriously think it would only be for white women? This need for people to specify that ‘women’ includes women of color is just bizarre.

It's not a requirement, it's an option.

Easy to take the moral high ground from your computer, try having 20 Indian men groping you whilst trapped in a crowded train for an hour and see how that holds up.

Your comment that a train car that is offered optionally for women reminds you of the holocaust is quite offensive.

What is the issue with ralph nader?

give it a rest people. A lot of sanders’ supporters are people that never ever would have voted for clinton. while I understand the fear of trump, you can’t really be so blind as to be unable to see why someone would fundamentally oppose Clinton, if their priorities were things like climate change and stopping endless…

Oh my god, that call and response.

Is anyone else tired of how cynical the identity politics have gotten, among the neoliberal left? Bringing up racial and gender inequality in defense of socialism is completely different than bringing it up in defense of military adventurism, corporatism, and the New Democratic way.

If you believe the President is “primarily responsible foreign relations,” how can you support Clinton?

HAH. Hillary might not be “asking anyone to vote for her based on her gender,” but her people are certainly relying awfully heavily on the “but Bernie’s supporters are SEXIST” argument. Listen, I’ll happily vote for her if she wins the nomination, and a Clinton presidency would probably be no worse than Obama’s…

And it doesn’t make you upset that the Clinton camp most definitely did say women should only vote for her?

Given the entire context of the quote, no, I don’t. I have heard a lot of “older feminists” talking about how young women “don’t understand the fight” as a means to promote Clinton, and to me, I think Killer Mike’s point stands. Telling us “incremental change” and “pragmatism” is a load of crap. A century after…

It strikes me as a little disingenuous that so many of us who supported a very unqualified Barack Obama (including me) are suddenly now all about the qualifications.

Can you link to any of his writings that you believe are sexist? I would like to see them myself.
