Wow... I bet all those “Never Hillary” morons are so glad that their vote didn’t count and Hillary won the election anyway...

Could she have run a perfect campaign? Certainly, as hers was certainly not perfect. However, I don’t attribute the loss to anything she did. Rather, I see it as a society that says no matter what you accomplish and no matter what you say, it’s not enough if you’re against a man.

Get the fuck out of here with your “the left”.

France actually bans other religious symbols as well. Jewish skullcaps, crosses, etc

And these women force their daughters to wear them. It’s not a feminist act. It’s a tradition of oppression.

I think we all understand what a feminist is, but you are judging the issue of a burqa solely based on Western ideals. The burqa is a symbol of dominance and subjugation, especially when you consider a woman who decides that being conservative is not what she wants. She is directly and solely blamed for rape, abuse,…

I’m not upset about it. People trying to frame it as a ‘policing women’s bodies’ issue....that’s ridiculous. It’s possible to be an observant Muslim woman and NOT wear a burqa or niquab. It’s possible to phase out expressions of any particular religion which do not fit into a modern society. One of my best friends is…

Totally different and a very bad comparison. A burqa is meant to shame and differentiate women. Burqas are used to hide women from society. Headscarves and wigs, not so much. Yours is a false equivalence.

Burqas =/= Head Scarves !!! I cannot stress that point enough.

I can’t be upset about this because I think the burqa and the niqab should not exist. If a man can’t handle looking at even a woman’s face, he has issues. My understanding: A burqa covers the entire body, head to toe, with a small mesh panel for a woman to see. A niqab covers everything but the eyes. Strangely, I…

a position you share with feminist Muslim scholars like Mona Eltahawy, for all the people freaking out on you.

Except the reason that burqas are still worn is because men make women wear burqas... and now there is a class of women that think they should wear a burqa. Not want to wear, should wear. Big difference.

Sorry but not sorry at all. Burqas are meant to demean women and subject them to misogynistic rules. Women get punished for getting raped in societies that make them wear burqas. Burqas represent truly awful male dominance and subjugation.

Once I really pissed off this Québécois. We were in Japan at a share house and he was going around asking people if they had ever had “real maple syrup” and giving them tastes of stuff from Quebec. He asked me, and I replied “yeah! Like from Maine!” because I grew up in New England and that is where we get the good…

Although I don’t have a medical degree and am a man, I’ve decided to pursue a head OB/GYN role since I spent the most formative parts of my life in utero. You’re an inspiration to us all, Dr. Carson.

MBU Alum here. When I attended it was as an early-admittance student (I enrolled at 16 - on a scholarship- to escape a frankly torturous home life) who didn’t have a high school degree. My test scores were very high, so I got in. I came from an excruciatingly conservative family. One of the only reasons that I was…

I went to a high school where not only was it uncool and worthy of bullying for a girl to raise her hand in class- but even as the lone girl raising your hand most of the predominately male teachers would still never call on you.

DWS is a progressive and, because she wanted the Dems to have their best chance at winning, she supported the Democrat with the best chance: Clinton. Or are we just forgetting that Sanders is not, and has never been, a Democrat, and that he just infiltrated the Dems to his advantage (as Trump infiltrated the GOP)?

I’m so sick of both Jill Stein and Bernie Sanders trying to be heroes after the fact. They, especially Bernie, helped cause this and now they’re trying to pass the blame and re-characterize their legacies. This isn’t anything but false hope and a fundraiser.

Trump only cares about Trump; he wants to condemn this more strongly than the hundreds of hate crimes being committed in this country because he personally is dreading being booed out of New York City, booed his whole presidency.
