The "pink tax" is exploiting stupid consumers. And it's not exclusive to women. It's just a feature of our society where we've mastered making these products for pennies so most of the money goes into marketing to inflate the perceived value and thus the price. https://www.xkcd.com/641/

Have you heard of Eggshell Skull? The argument goes that an attacker may punch a person and intend to commit petty battery, but the victim happens to be very frail and dies as a result. Thus the attacker is charged with murder. Likewise, an accuser may only intend to commit perjury, but if the victim suffers great harm (decades of incarceration) as a result, or could incur such harm, the penalty should reflect this.

Abortion. Sure, force a mother to carry a baby she doesn't want to term and then mistreat the child and subject that child to a life of neglect and poverty. That sounds like a great idea. Or how about male genital mutilation? What argument is there for it?

Not necessarily. The people that immigrate here are some of the most driven and motivated people and could enact a lot of positive change in their original country. Bringing them here actually drains talent from those countries and leaves them worse off, resulting in more people wanting to emigrate from those countries.

Planned parenthood is more than just abortions. It covers education and other birth control methods too. Calling to defund it is like saying we should defund schools and force parents to pay for education out of pocket. Education and outreach, especially the kind Planned Parenthood offers, is infrastructure just like schooling.

Planned Parenthood needs government funding. The money spent on birth control to avoid unwanted children is money saved on law enforcement locking up future troublemakers. Conservatives can say it's immoral or expensive, but birth control does make a lot of sense from both a fiscal perspective and in maintaining order. That said, Abortion is already de facto illegal in several states and this isn't Trump's fault.

This already is starting to happen.

Haha "rightfully used". Soldiering is the true minimum wage job and has been for thousands of years. Vietnam was a time of unusual prosperity and that's why there was such backlash against being sent to go to war. Because there was a million better things people could be doing than getting shot at. Both World Wars had heavy propaganda to lie to people to break that isolationist streak. But that's all it was, propaganda.

The regressive left feels like a page out of Ayn Rand's Fountainhead. People donating to charity not because they genuinely care but because want the social status for being that donater.

A draft is inevitable. If the situation is dire the government will start making soldiers out of citizens. I would much rather have this process formalized ahead of time than sprung in the midst of a war where it would likely be even more exploitative.

You say that, but if world war 3 happened and the situation was grim, some piece of paper saying the draft is illegal wouldn't mean anything.

Please don't use a number like "14823.29%". It's confusing and misleading, suggesting extreme accuracy. Try to keep significant digits consistent. "80%" meanns 1-2 significant digits, thus you should write, "1500%" to stay consistent.

Some highlights from the article: 23 percent gender pay gap, maternity leave, affordable child care and the treatment of female migrants in detention centers.

Theory: Abolish the draft is seen to further disconnect people from their country.

Some homicides are automatically considered first-degree murder — even if they were not intentional or planned: The killing of a police officer or prison employee on duty.

There is a reason there's a much larger percentage of MtF transgenders than FtM transgenders. In both cases, transgendered status is very much a social detriment and comes with heavy prejudice.

South Korea is unlikely to disappear. They're probably in the midst of the labor crisis that every other first world nation is in.

Feminism is all about empowering women. And with great power comes great responsibility. Like registering for the draft. Or being able to meet strict physical standards to take on critical life-saving roles like a 140 lb deadlift to be a firefighter.

I don't see that as a flaw, but rather as a side-effect of our media-rich lives where we're constantly bombarded with fictional characters that are strongly Flanderized because that makes them recognizable and predictable and presents good foils for storytelling.

The solution is a better voting system. Voting to choose between a douchebag and a turd sandwich doesn't accomplish anything.

No, it doesn't matter.

Female warriors are still often fairly two dimensional. Their primary strength is their sexiness. Being underestimated is also frequently a core strength.

Blacks are often targeted more. So while they commit crimes, so do whites but if the black people are the ones that are stopped and frisked regularly they're going to be in the courtroom more often. If these stupid drug laws weren't on the books there'd be less reason to send them to jail. But that's just one of many ways the deck is stacked against the poor. And keep in mind, race is an issue, but this is primarily a class problem. Then there's the corrections side. Job prospects are slim for a…

I think a lot of people are over sensitive to the idea of discrimination. If anything isn't equal then it turns int a public shitstorm. In the case of blacks being discriminated against by businesses due to higher liabilities, using laws to prevent higher rates may be a problem of treating the symptoms rather than the problem. Black populations are generally offered less opportunities for overall success, which in turn leads to greater pressures and worse outcomes, and thus higher liabilities. E…

DUIs are trumped up charges designed to mimic prohibition because making alcohol outright illegal has already been tried. People driving defensively at 0.08 and only getting caught because of sobriety checkpoints are just fleeced for revenue. The people that are causing accidents while drunk are driving recklessly and this is the primary problem. The DUI is generally a catalyst and/or a symptom of their poor judgement.

Men are disposable. 1 man can fertilize 100 women, so biologically they're disposable.

Companies would lunge at the chance to cut labor costs by such a huge margin. They would be happy to hire only women and pay less money overall. But they don't.

Think of it more as getting it done while single and then going through the dating scene.

When the man enters a committed relationship and he's ready to have children, then he can have the reversal operation.

Not all accusations lead to an arrest, much less a conviction. Someone could accuse me of breaking a shop window across the country an hour ago, but the cops would just dismiss it and not even bother. Likewise there has to be plausible reason to suspect someone made a rape claim with malicious intent before turning it around to an arrest. To be fair, I just want an excuse to prosecute the dumb women that admit to making up false claims.

Feminism seems pretty straightforward to define. Advancing women's rights to bring them to equality. This is still how a lot of feminist issues are presented, though the data may be skewed to favor a situation where they already have equality or nearly so, such as the wage gap. This easy definition allows them to disavow knowledge when one steps out of line.

Are acts wrong because they're illegal, or are they illegal because they're wrong? Cannibis use and prostitution fall in the former category. Likewise, our definition of a minor is rather strict relative to the world's. This isn't to say she didn't commit a wrong. Her relationship may have been influenced by her authority. May because she was only a substitute. But that should get her fired, not jailed.

To be honest, I think it's tough to say she did something wrong. Probably very tasteless (ha) considering her job as a teacher. And I could understand punishing her career-wise for that.

I took AP Chemistry. 3/4th of the way through the class my teacher got fired and another teacher stepped in to pick up the class. She handed out busywork packets starting from the beginning.

Perhaps it seems rash, but you need to realize, I think things need to escalate quite a bit before the woman can even hope to throw down a charge as serious as rape.

"Did you get injured by his attempt to force himself on you?" "Did he use a weapon to force your compliance?" Rape should not be, "I slept with him but later regretted…

I agree, it is a generalization and everyone is different. I'm a male and I greatly enjoy erotic fiction, as an example. Naturally some women enjoy Chippendales.

It's not that women are less sexual. Rather, women are less visual than men. Men want to see breasts jiggle, hips move, tummies undulate. Thus the video porn market mostly aimed at men.

If a woman does any of these things it's normal. Men can't marry up without being ridiculed. Women can. There's plenty of things women can do that men can't.

This is my exact problem. Got Ds all throughout highschool English. Got an F in AP Chemistry after my teacher got fired and replaced with a busywork focused teacher. Passed the AP Exam and I thoroughly enjoyed college English. High school is bullshit.

You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
