The other misogynistic element is the Madonna/Whore complex, in my opinion.

Mothers are often classically viewed as the Madonna (it’s in the name), so they’re good and kind and virtuous.

However, I’ve insinuated that I fucked your mom, and if your mom has fucked, that means she’s a Whore because a Good Woman^tm doesn’t have a sexuality. By claiming that I’ve fucked your mom, I’m claiming to have defiled the sacred Madonna and turned her into a profane Whore.

In other words, saying “I fucked your mom” is basically saying “your mom’s a slut”, and in a worldview where women wanting to fuck is a sign of evil, that’s an insult.

Re: #6 prior to the invasions of the Angles/Saxons England was invaded by the Romans and a number of cities sprung up in the south populated by latin-speaking peoples. When Western Rome collapsed, the state capacity needed to maintain large urban centers went with it. The Roman inhabitants didn’t leave, though, but instead mixed with the local culture and the language dispersed into the general population of England.

At the same time the only thing left of Western Rome’s larger institutions was the Church, whose organization was inherited from Roman civic structures and who were the ones preserving written knowledge, which would be written in Latin.

Irish isn’t a race

Well, not any more, anyways.

I agree that seeing the current regional conflicts as the opening shots of WWIII is a bit hyperbolic, but I also think a much better comparison is the Balkan Wars of 1912-13 and the related July Crisis considering how the major powers are being lead through proxy conflicts into “a series of interrelated diplomatic and military escalations.”

Nah, german fascists prefer meth.

but the Dems chose Hilary instead

Seems to be implying Bernie Sanders

I think what we’ll see is Biden’s support for Israel not so much making people more likely to vote for Trump as making them more likely to not vote at all.

(Which, in a 2-party system where one side ALWAYS falls in line behind their candidate, makes that side much more likely to win.)

And for the people who will choose to NOT vote for Biden over Israel, I think they’re likely more concerned with what Biden is doing rather than what Trump might do.

Though, as you say, it will definitely be worse not just for Palestine but for Ukraine and the world at large.

Our regularly-scheduled reminder that a far-right government took Germany from the most powerful country in Europe to the 5th-most powerful country in Berlin.

Do you think objectification is good and healthy?

Here’s exactly what you want: a feminist forum that’s specifically for discussing men’s issues (including sexuality) in a constructive and healthy manner.

See, that’s really interesting to me! The mainstream feminist spaces I’ve interacted with have been very sex-positive, so I’m curious how you’ve experienced this demonization.

Christianity I can understand, but would you mind explaining why you think feminism demonizes masturbation?

Looks like the lowest as of 2023 equates to about 1.79 USD an hour?

Ah yes, that will ensure compliance and not motivate mass resistance.

My main disagreement with this decision is the same reason I disagree with countries that strictly enforce wearing hijabs.

Whether or not a person chooses to wear a hijab, or a burka, or khakis, or a swimsuit, or nothing at all is a personal decision. It’s the part where they choose that’s important.

It’s certainly arguable whether social or cultural or religious norms can remove the ability to choose without any legal action whatsoever, but I don’t think that justifies this kind of action and I don’t think this law will result in any sort of liberation. Historically speaking this direction tends to result more in reactionary radicalization.

Sherriffs: what if cops, but with even less oversight and even more power tripping?

Also if he calls over 40 hours a week short hours…
