You wrote five really long paragraphs about how it’s too much trouble to put tampons in an opaque container that fits in a backpack. I’m honestly astounded that you would spend so much energy justifying being that lazy.

It’s also amazing, the breathless coverage this is getting as though teenagers yelling “FUCK AUTHORITY” is something crazy and without precedent as opposed to a phase literally every single kid goes through.

The Malthusian assertion there is probably a bit extreme, but it is absolutely fair to note that the Bush AIDS relief was a Bush White House generated idea, so at the very least it’s fair to at least wonder whether Gore’s White House would have thought to do the same thing. 

Their idea of human rights is different from ours. E.g. they believe women have the right not to be looked at by strange men. Etc.

Thank you, this is exceedingly helpful, especially in defining the authoritarianism that emerges on both sides of the spectrum. (Words have meaning! They are not mutable, despite what the US mass media thinks. I look at some of the responses to this post of mine and despair.)

You are caught in the woke conundrum of being for equal rights for women yet not wanting to offend a muslim so you end up confirming yourself as a total fucking idiot

It is November 18th. Every year.

Women have the “right” not to be looked at by strange men.

Ah yes, the feminist safe haven that is The Kingdom of We-Behead-People-In-Public

“Their idea of human rights is different from ours. E.g. they believe women have the right not to be looked at by strange men. Etc”

extremism on the right- nationalism/ religious fundamentalism/ supremasism

I love how “genocide” and “white supremacy” have become interchangable with “anything you don’t agree with” these days. Lovely.

Weiss identifies Venezuela and China as fascist countries, which they are not

Garsh, a group of people who wear black and attack people who say things they don’t like?

(true, although Weiss identifies Venezuela and China as fascist countries, which they are not)

Of course her overall point is correct.
