You make factual errors yourself. The Equal Pay Act in 1975 was supposed to end the awful situation where women were paid less for doing the same work. The evidence was there and can easily be googled – if you like I can try to find the stats from my personal library, but they’re buried deep and may take too much work. There is still unequal pay, but employers have to be creative with the law to get away with it.
I might be wrong about how things used to be, it was before I was born. But I don’t believe that unequal pay is still a widespread problem, all the data I have seen suggests otherwise, as well as my own personal experience.
Abortion is a mjor advance which was not the result of feminism – you may be pro-Life, and I also think abortion is horrible (most women who have had them think so too), but if you took away abortion rights, the result would be to push women back to the fly-by-night operators who performed abortions in the back streets – the result was quite frequently death for the woman as well due to botched surgery and a lack of the safety conditions now present.
The right to abortion, at least late stage abortions is a right to end another human’s life at best to protect the life of another and at worst for Convenience. I feel this is a dangerous precident to set.
The msot important thing about feminism is not tangible. It’s the fact that the demands for equality in the personal sphere, however silly they could be advoated at times, have created an atmosphere where women won’t be pushed around or made silent about things like rape and serious harassment, and where women have found that they can be just as good, if not better, than men in education and the professions. So there…
I don’t understand this argument at all. I’m as good as men at my job because of my own skill, not because of femminism.
leftvand eent into F2 but theres no one around on there. ?
You have to catch F2 at the right time of day.
Draculian is not a malicious person, but she is right-wing lol
I don’t know about that … makes me pretty evil ;-).
Drac, I’ll think abut these and give my opinion in response to your srguments. I like the fact that you do have an opinion, and that you think about it, rather than just copy from another site and try to appear ever so clever.
I had to look up the history of women’s voting rights to be honest, it’s something I am uninformed about. Although I was aware of the selective service issue in the US.
I always look at stats like this with some sceptisicsm, you don’t know how many abuses go unreported. I would imagine this is especially true with male victims, talking about such things isn’t a very manly thing to do. And for women, I have spoken to plenty of women in unhealthy relationships who seem to exhibit similar behaviours to Stockholm Syndrome, I don’t think they would report it if the relationship became violent. There is also the issue of false accusations of abuse, given that ‘innocent unti proven guilty’ doesn’t seem to apply, at least when sexual abuse is also alleged.
Another issue that I am aware of is that most domestic shelters don’t accept male victims, and the very few male only shelters are refused public funding. I will try and find a source for this, but I am certain it is true.
I wouldn’t have thought a bomb shelter would actually be that expensive to build yourself, just the hire of a digger and a cement mixer.
In regards to Brexit, Trump could give our a ecconomy a significant advantage. If he reaches a comprehensive rade deal with us and then enacts protectionist policies which he seems to like. Then we would be one of a only a handful of other countries (maybe Canada?) with good access conditions to the US market.
Several times the losing candidate got more votes than the winner – look at the 2000 election, when Gore got more votes than Bush. If there’s violence, it’s Trump whipping it up It must feel odd having a choice between a guy with a dead hedgehog on his head and a woman who likes to dress in a binliner. But the binliner gets my vote all the way despite her obvious shortcomings. The reason – look at Trump.
Turns out my prediction was wrong, Clinton seems to have won the popular vote but lost the college. I think that I overestimated her popularity with rural voters and underestimated it with urban voters.
I voted for Trump indirectly, one of my friends in America delegated his vote to me as he didn’t know what to think about either candidate.
Hopefully not at his encouragment.
That is one thing I didn’t like about his rallies, although the democrats were filmed admiting to trying to cause it. Hopefully he won’t do this as president.
I am predicting a popular vote win for Trump, but i’m not sure if he will win in the electoral college. If he wins the popular vote and loses the college then I predict a lot of violence,
I have seen ghosts before, but I don’t believe in them at all.
