I have very well an idea what he is talking about. Why so dismissive? He is being quite sincere..who of us does not know these times where we ran ourselves into pain out of insecurity and frustration?

he said that women are not meant to lead before he became a pope. so the 180 degrees turn makes me a bit suspiscious

not decided whether this pope is really cooler than the previous ones or really good in PR. hm hm.

Doesn’t make it better that they don’t because they can’t - just because the data shows they would, if they could...what I mean is yes maybe they don’t go so much after 20 years old in real life, but only because they do not have a chance, not because they are actual decent human beings

Lol. You just assert things without having any idea, what? It is pretty much consensus that cooking, and hence being able to eat cooked meat for instance was the cause for an early change in the human brainsize - so, yes, it can affect genes, and if it can affect the brain it surely also can affect the height..and…

There is a really good article about women in the film industry in the new york times today:

true. insightful comment...I think this is why it is important that more men become part of feminism, too

No, they say that this is actually often not true for mammals...I think this is a bit like the stereotype that animals are patriarchal (when in fact many aren’t). I found it here I think (though this is the german version, but if you google it, maybe you find a subtitled one, arte documentaries are known to be…

There was recently a documentary going after the question why women are shorter than men (if you are from Europe, it was on the chanel “Arte”), in short, most of the scientists they talked to were convinced the reason was that men withheld meat from women (as a display of power over them/to condition women).... kind…

+ a liar without any backbone too, apparently

I am afraid to say, but that’s sexist. No one would ever say about a male CEO that people were fired under him because he was “just not competent enough”. Sure, people would say that he is not empathetic, cold, capitalistic, a power hungry alpha, but blaming a common mechanism in neoliberal economics on a mens…

I dont understand why male bodies can be shown and females can’t. That’s plain dumb to me

Thank you NonServiam! I was almost worried to read the comments here defending her...I am from the east myself, and I hate this positive racism which excuses everything just because a person is muslim. Here in western europe for instance (where I live now) there are parents who don’t want to allow their girls to go to…

Yes. With Orban and Jobbik it got really bad. They even started to print out new schoolbooks with texts as “girls are bad in math” etc., they also sent a very suggestive questionaire to people, asking if they would think that “refugees take away their jobs” - aka not really a questionaire but purposeful…

well, quite apparently it is not a matter of effort in that case. She is right winged, living out her beliefs and being proud of it. she WANTS to be an asshole

I had a gay flatmate who was quite homophobic, growing up in a super conservative family. He had this huge internal conflict, and I kind of felt with him, it was kind of internalized self hate, I could imagine how much his inner core was crushed as a kid...I know ideally self-acceptance etc., but it can be tricky,…

I am swiss..the country who nationwide give the right to vote to women in 1990 - come again? Also, if you want science, please google about how often women get interrupted vs. how often men get interrupted. There really are enough studies

Right? I don’t understand why her rebellious ways are never celebrated..? Like by almost no one? And as for acting, I loved her in “Into the wild”..there are so many pseudo-rebells out there, but she really does to be someone doing her own thing..

Can we stop putting women down like that? Lots of men too, who are in Hollywood, are there because of their connections. For women, everything, really everything is held against them..that sucks! I never experience doing that to other men! Honestly, empowering other women feels empowering, for oneself, too..Kristen is…

You just don’t understand that “we don’t focus” on discussing defence mechanisms, because the entire culture has been shaming women for centuries and there is really no further need to tell us how to be careful - we effing grew up getting to know all possible ways of being careful. This is just an myth (I know you…
