:police: Be careful about calling people trolls. :police:
Yeah. Mmmhmmm. When you two nearly identical posts in one thread, it means you are a troll. It means all you care to do is speak in bumper sticker slogans, and have no thought process of your own. Hence why you didn't actually respond to me. You just parrot stuff you read on some idiotic MRA reddit thread, as opposed to addressing anything I brought up.
Please name all the campaigns that feminists have done to make men equal to women.
Wow. You copied and pasted… your own post.... from earlier in this one page thread... barely changing anything.
You really are a sad little troll. Sorry, but there is no point in talking to someone who speaks in nothing bad sad, debunked talking points.
Actually, it's the SJWs pushing all this lunatic crap, like "identity politics".
"White" and "male" are identities.
since most of them are about how people hate him or think he will ruin the economy or how he is a danger to the known world.
All of which is true. In fact, the sheer chaos of Trump's administration is already destabalizing the globe, and he hasn't even been inaugurated yet. It's nothing compared to the corruption, but it is still important.
That stuff turns out to be quite tiring after certain point. You must concede me that.
It might be tiring, but due to the FBI and geography the US elected a person who is a never ending disaster.
What I don't understand is why you guys make this issue bigger, all this media and all this bitterness…Do you really feel scared about Trump?
Trump's three most prominent campaign promises are: send Mexicans back to Mexico/build the wall, ban all Muslims from coming into the country, and a nation wide stop and frisk policy. He literally campaigned on kicking out Hispanics and Muslims and harassing black people out of public spaces. That is fucking terrifying.
Not all of us have the luxury of reacting to his explicit threats with "Well maybe he won't do the stuff he openly promised to." And by the by, once he's finished with black people, he's going to come after LGBT people.
Of course that is just domestically. Internationally he's already promised to expand America's nuclear arsenal, advocated for our military to commit war crimes, promised to revive 18th century colonialism, and said he'd go to war with just about every country on the planet. He isn't even inaugurated and China is already belligerently throwing its weight around.
So yeah, fucking terrifying.
All that loud speech is just populism, just promises…just 'fancy jargon to the masses'.
Ha! No. When politicians make public promises, they actually do their best to achieve them. Private behind the door promises are garbage and easily broken. It's the ones made in public that are binding. And he's staffed his cabinet with people that are going to implement the most extreme versions of his promises.
The President of the United States has to answer to others, he will be unable to deliver all he promised and you can start seeing it now.
The president of the US is only constrained by the norms that have accrued over 200 years. Trump doesn't even know the norms well enough to flout them. And he will be working with a congress that would approve killing every American's first born child if it meant they could do entitlement cuts.
If you really want to hit Trump hard, pressure him to deliver all his promises regarding the economy and America's well-being and hold him accountable if he doesn't. All this bad rep some democrats are throwing at him could backfire if he happens to deliver. So I say keep a discreet stance and analize his moves.
Well he can't deliver. His economic promises are all fairy tales. But George Bush also promised a lot of fairy tales and we wound up in a global depression with two (at the time) endless wars. That's about the best outcome from the Trump administration.
Serious? Most Americans I met online rather prefered Bernie Sanders
This is what we call "self-selecting bias." Bernie failed to win over Democrats, including the essential Democratic base of POC.
Russian hackers? What is this?
Have you not paid attention to the news for the last four months? It was brought up in a debate. Long story short Putin had his hackers hack the DNC to try to swing the primary to Sanders. He also hacked the RNC, but those leaks mysteriously never came out ::). After the primary, then Putin hacked the Clinton campaign and started leaking everything they found. In both the DNC and the campaign hack there was actually nothing particularly salacious or noteworthy, however it resulted in a flurry of bad press.
So, yes, we do know that Russia was trying to get Bernie to win the primary, because they thought he would be more likely to lose than Clinton.
If you actually took time to properly research feminism and feminists, you would understand why so many men AND WOMEN hate feminism.
Do you really think that the users of a website for gay porn would be unfamiliar with the concept of "self-loathing." Why yes, there are lots of women who hate feminism, just like there are lots of homosexuals who get elected to congress and fight against gay rights even as they visit gay prostitutes and try to pick up men in airport bathrooms.
Anywho, your hilarious little MRA rants are (obviously) full of bullshit. Feminists are pretty much the only ones who give a shit about men, how they are treated, and helping them. Go back to your MRA forums and take a good look at every time someone calls someone else a "Beta." Your precious men are desperate to enforce a caste system (and a hilariously self-contradictory one at that).
Supporters of either one of them should be ashamed.
Oh bullshit. One of them was a smart, competent, qualified intellectual who has dedicated her life to the public good. The other is a shitty con artist who ran a campaign based solely on stoking racism, who has a string of failed businesses behind him and is already more corrupt than the worst nightmares anyone has ever had about the Clintons, and who has no understanding of even the most basic facts of reality and is currently destabilizing the entire globe.
So no, the only people who should be ashamed (besides Trump voters) are 3rd party and non-voters.
PS: Remember 'The Candidate Who Never Was': Bernie Sanders.
Bernie Sanders couldn't convince more DEMOCRATS to vote for him. And the Russians were already hacking specifically to support him, because they knew he'd be an easier target.
Sanders would have gone down in flames. The only reason Hillary lost was because of Comey, and even then she still won the popular vote by a landslide.
There are some really, really attractive tattoos. And then there are some really, really ugly tattoos. But there are far more ugly tattoos than attractive ones. And so many porn stars with really bad tattoos.
I think "queer" used to apply more (if not entirely) exclusively to gay men and drag queens in ~50's-70's (probably much earlier, even). But it's become and remained sort of a catch-all term for "non-heteronormativity" (which includes gays) since then. These days, it seems to be even more nebulous and open-ended, what with kids today cooking up new labels and "identities" for themselves every week (anything in an effort to be "different" or "a minority", because then they don't have to hate themselves as much for actually just being boring, middle-class honkies). "Queer" has effectively become a meaningless, generic descriptor for "not straight and/or cisgendered".
Which is fine, don't get me wrong. I have no desire to stake a "gay claim" on it. I've always hated the word "queer" anyway.
I'm pretty much with you. It's a terrible word and I am highly annoyed we are suffering through its resurgence. Thankfully it will only last for another two or three years at most and then get thrown out again, at which point we will all be embarrassed when we read articles written at this point in time.
These things go in cycles. Cycles created by internalized homophobia. Every new coming of age generation expresses their internalized homophobia by creating all sorts of new labels. None of which last, as everyone eventually settles down into normal LGBT identity. But it is annoying every single time I have lived through it.
The USSC rarely reverses it's decision and it's never done it to strip a group of their rights. And as with all supreme court cases, it takes years to wind their way through the courts and by then too much time would have passed.
You are getting hysterical over something that has worse odds than winning the lottery.
Your entire argument is idiotic on its face. Trump has outright stated that overturning Roe v. Wade is a litmus test for his judicial nominations. So yeah, his whole goal is to overturn a supreme court decision that would strip rights from millions of people.
The fact that it would take years is why it will likely happen. RBG, Kennedy, and Breyer aren't all going to stick around waiting for a more ideologically friendly president and senate to replace them.
And, let's not forget that Supreme Court can rip apart state level ENDAs. Also let's not forget what an SC can do with RFRA in its back pocket.
We had a chance to secure decades of progress, but instead we now have a tin hat dictator surrounded by anti-gays.
Some of you people need to stop believing the ultra liberal lies!!!!!!
MARRIAGE EQUALITY IS PART OF US CONSTITUTIONAL LAW. IT WOULD TAKE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO CHANGE THAT.
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS ARE EXTREMELY HARD TO PASS AND THE PROCESS TAKES YEARS.
Dude, no it wouldn't. All it would take is a sympathetic supreme court. And any supreme court that was willing to overturn Roe v. Wade (which Trump has promised) is willing to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges).
I wouldn't try to lecture people on Constitutional Law when don't seem to be aware of what it is in the first place.
