Funny, because you were doing that to me including telling me that I was not considering the grey areas of oppression that I, not you, experience and using tropes that couldn't have been older.

You are experiencing something that is a very familiar trope to women which I referenced in my response. See, it is not my responsibility to explain the workings of misogyny to somebody who is countering me with some of oldest cliches there are instead of listening. We've been around the tree of your arguments for a…

Ugh, 'thanks' for mansplaining the issue to me dude. I'm so naive I really needed somebody to explain classic viewpoints to me women have never ever heard before. Like the one about all the little 'women's issues' being not the big fish we need to fry. Spoken to Stokely Carmichael lately, huh. Or how people who suffer…

I'm sorry for your experience and glad I never went to Sonic. When I lived in the US I didn't have a car and was obsessed with going to Sonic. My friend with a car refused because it was a long drive so I always wonder what I missed. I know, weird, but I love fruity, sugary drinks that are on the menu there that you…

I don't understand. Wouldn't that be the exact reason to do it?

I wasn't referring to YOU but to the general Jez commenter.

It's fine that Islam is YOUR topic. But stop embarrassing yourself when it comes to other topics. I never compared one to the other, neither did I say the case you commented on wasn't horrific. I simply corrected you when you minimized the issue in your blind rage about everything Islam. There are other issues going…

It's useless. I tried to assert my space but while when another person does that to me I let them have more space. Men don't. You try asserting more space you end up directly touching the men because they will not give you an inch

I wonder why that is but that seems to be the reason. I often think Americans are not aware at all that there is tension in Europe and that there really are tangible problems with Muslim communities and it isn't all xenophobia. The people in this thread who try to downplay the meaning of that because they happen to…

I consider female only restrooms a safer space than mixed gender restrooms.. In addition, any space in public that is women only is a safe space for women. One detail about this: many women's restrooms I know feature contact data of women's shelters etc. in the stalls.

For anyone that is interested, if you search Tony Ortega's website on Scientology you'll find several articles about said party, including the slave labor that it was organized with and the service staff that was pulled out of the labor camps for that day.

No, but I'm not as interested in the topic as you are. I did attend a workshop a year ago that dealt with that issue but I don't have any links for you. However, given the prevalence of gendered violence I don't think there is a need to cite studies for the necessity of safe spaces for women especially in the…

Thank you. But I already explained that IMO as long as women live in a patriarchal society, gender neutral bathrooms are a nice idea in theory but do more harm than good.

I actually do think there is a difference. I understand the need of people to abolish a separation of gendered bathrooms on the binary of the sexes but as much as I understand that in the interest of intersex or trans people I cannot argue for it. Gendered reality is still reality and especially women need safe spaces…

I remembered reading about cases in Canada. I assume Canada might have a larger Muslim Immigrant community because as a nation of the Commonwealth there will be many Pakistani immigrants.

My strategy to safe myself from despair is to surround myself with people that share my views. But I would self-destruct if I believed in the good in people because every second on this planet means being confronted with the evil in people.

Nobody cares that they violate US law and in the cases people do they have a yacht which they keep on international waters where they keep their prisoners. Look up the story of Valeska Paris Guider who was held prisoner on the ship for 12 years. Scientology isn't nearly as harmless as you make it out to be and there…

They do happen in both Canada and the UK but less frequent in Canada I assume. I'm German and we have our share of 'honor killings' and yes, those always happen in Islamic Immigrant families. So I'm confused that this is not the case in the US or maybe proportionally they are just a very small minority compared to…

Actually when you look at Scientology they have slave labor camps of the most horrid kind and their core task is to transform the world into a Scientology dictatorship where non-Scientologists are slaves in camps. In their own camps they completely break people physically but they also consciously induce pychosis.
