I was praying so fucking hard for a horrible typo.

As a Chicagoan? Living in a city where a police officer shut his own bar down because there were too many black people in it?

We have too many examples of the police just not giving a crap about people with less money and darker skin to pretend that wasn't a factor any more.

Because feminism is a political ideology aimed at overcoming thousands of years of financial, educational, sexual, and social oppression and abuse, and MRAism is an ideology for whiny cry-wanking neck-beards who hate women for merely existing?

Yes - an all this "she got herself pregnant." You know, by herself. With her own semen.

The existence of intersex people only being acknowledged by others in order to question the existence of bisexuality is shitty for everyone involved and yet it happens all the goddamn time.

I am always amazed how women's concerns are shut down when the discussion of trans rights are brought up.

It isn't in "no man's land" between "culture" and "religion." This is cowardice, fear, and cultural relativism, because everyone is so scared to plainly state this is directly related to Islam. Girls are dying. This is more important than the hurt feelings of Muslims and their defenders (who are worse than Muslims…

American of Egyptian descent here. FGM is incredibly widespread in Egypt, with some 91% of women, almost all Muslim, having undergone the practice. It's more of a religious practice than a cultural one, as the remaining nearly 10% who aren't subjected to it are almost all Coptic Christian women.

Or the people hijacking the thread to discuss male circumcision.

I am not trans, but I am a POC so I will speak to your point about Precious. A lot of the backlash against that movie was not toward the content, it was direct at the trend of Black acting/movies only being recognized if Blackness is portrayed with villainy or debasedness.
