I can almost see that as being a legitmate conern. There's been plenty of stranger coup attempts around the world.

Re: Labour MP says 'merit' in women-only train carriages

To piggy back on my prior post since I forgot to mention earlier. Isolated concern for the protection of a single class of people enables society to ignore the root cause issue and to permit that issue to grow and fester rather than treat it as well as ignore the suffering of the 'others '. If you h...

Re: Labour MP says 'merit' in women-only train carriages

When I was living in the ghettos in middle school and high school, at time periods I was victim to attempted muggings on a weekly basis often while transitioning on public transportation. Does that not qualify enough for a safe space? Are women generally victimized more frequently than that? Why is ...

Re: Labour MP says 'merit' in women-only train carriages

Re: Game of Thrones season seven trailer.

Sloppy end to a sloppy, disappointing season. Even the legitimately well executed moments in the finale were overshadowed by the inconsistencies, pacing issues, and bizarre plot holes. Just like the rest of this season has been so far, really. Like, it was nice to see Littlefinger finally get his c...

Re: Erdogan thugs attack people in Washington DC

Putin would LOVE that. Maybe, but at some point, an ally becomes more trouble than they're worth, and to be honest, Turkey (which has been a bit too cozy with both Putin and freaking Daesh, in addition to the coup) has crossed that line in my opinion. This is more just one more in a long line of sh...

Re: Do Millennial Men Want Stay-at-Home Wives?

Believing that having a father work and a mother stay home is superior house hold arrangements is not inherently anti-feminist. It can in fact generally be true, or not. What would be anti- feminist is removing that choice element, which I don't think is being mentioned in this article.

The reason why people assumed the woman was a nanny because of the way she was crawling on the floor and appeared to be freaking out. I didn't even notice that she was Asian until when it was later mentioned.

I'll take a stab here. I suspect others have missed the main drivers. So I think I've got a pretty good handle on how the swindler and looter component of the 1% has captured the political process.
