I remember an incident when I was little (maybe 4 or 5?) and was walking in a park with my mom. We saw a girl my age pushing a doll in a tiny stroller, and my mom said very disapprovingly how she doesn't get it why little girls have to "be taught to be mothers" at a very young age (yes, she's feminist). I was…
@ifes: I didn't say that they are "inherently bad nations". But most of them are developing, non-democratic countries that have some serious human rights problems.
@christinalouise: Relatively high compared to other developed countries.
@FelineFraulein: Well, China has a population of over billion people. On the list of executions per capita it's on place #14, so it's far from the worst (the worst seems to be the Bahamas). [www.nationmaster.com]
List of countries that executed people in 2009: China, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, USA, Yemen, Sudan, Viet Nam, Syria, Japan, Egypt, Libya, Bangladesh, Thailand, Botswana, Singapore, Malaysia, North Korea.
But are there relatively less women in finance now? Or has the amount of men dropped proportionally? Mere absolute number of women tells nothing about whether this issue is gendered or not.
@RubyStar: That's actually kinda cute. In a really awkward way.
This is just another way of saying "learn to take a joke, duh". Sigh.
I find Jezzies to be incredibly optimistic for thinking that this will destroy the writers' careers. Some dude-bros in powerful positions (and there are many of them) will brush this off as no biggie and hire them. Most probably they will even get sympathy for the aftermath that the poor boys now have to suffer…

@foodandshoes: Wow, I'm sorry you have to take that BS. I've noticed the same attitude among my friends, and it's really arrogant and annoying. But hey, imagine how you are making them revisit their attitudes towards Christians by being the cool, pro-Choice, accepting person that you are. :)
@foodandshoes: I get that. It's a cultural thing really: I live in a country where the place of religion in public discourse is pretty insignificant. A professor professing their faith while they were giving their expert's opinion is confusing to me.
@Hana Maru: Yeah, that's exactly what I was going after. *eyeroll*
@they call me ginger: But who chose for women that they can start wearing trousers? I feel that, thanks to feminism, women have emancipated themselves from some traditional norms that men still have to obey. I believe in the patriarchal concept of society, but I also believe that women are not the only ones suffering…
I love it how she still had to include that "Don't get me wrong, I'm a person of faith and not some atheist shitass!" disclaimer.
This doesn't apply to women only. When did you last time see a man walking down the street in a skirt?
if you look at J.Lo pix before she became famous she was a lot more ethnic looking
@LaComtesse: But if her study group ends late at night, it's of course her fault for being stupid enough to go out after nightfall.
