The article seems to provocatively turn things on its head (remember the US is a country where minority voter suppression is still a thing) rather than genuinely advocating disallowing white males the vote. Trust Fox News to get into a Huff over this. But then, irony was never a strong suit of the Christian right.
Actually, minority voter suppression is not a real thing in the US, as in a valid concept. All minorities have the same right to vote and the same access to the polls as anyone else, and often more access. The kinds of things called "voter suppression" in the US are considered normal states of affairs in the civilized nations of the world. Like, having a form of identification in order to vote. Here in the US, that's voter suppression, because they say that black people for some reason are unable to comply with the voter ID laws. In most civilized countries, if it was determined that some group weren't getting their required IDs, there wouldn't be an allegation of suppression.

The funny part about this article, though, is that it is another example of how some feminists will say that feminism is just about equality, but then we read articles wherein feminists actively promote or advocate inequality. Like the "ironic misandry" movement, and the opposition to counseling centers for men, when feminists claim that women can't be sexist at all, and when feminists like Julie Bindel claim men should be in concentration camps. But, feminism is just about equality, and if you're not in favor of feminism, then you're against equality and you're a sexist....

Just wait till the Trumpocalypse, those feminazis will be lining up to get inside the compound walls. They'll have to wash the clothes in a stream and pluck the chickens. Then service their men whenever we want. I can't wait. We'll be feudal lords, man, just like God intended.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Not if feminist theory is true. Under feminist theory, sex is socially constructed, and the only reason men and women are, say, different in physical strength, is a function of social construction over time wherein the CIS-normative patriarchy oppressed women, making them weaker. As the social structures equalize, women will become just as physically strong as men. So, for your sake, that Trumpocalypse better happen soon...if the women get the sexes equalized before it happens, then it may well be you that gets to be the Handmaid.... :smoke:

I think she shouldn't bother her pretty little head with politics, and should concentrate on improving her sammich making skills and maybe shaving her legs. How's she going to snag a good man with an attitude like that?

It is.

HuffPo does not come off too well in this unravelling of events, and I can't say I am surprised. I agree with the author that the owners of that site are unconscionably greedy ripoff merchants – making money by clickbaiting and paying their contributors nothing. Of course you can't provide quality reportage like that. The adage, you get what you pay for, applies in spades. But then, HuffPo is not interested in quality. It's after the clicks.

42 could probably get paid good money to pump that shit out.

Coincidentally, is anyone else watching Homeland at the moment?

It's only shtick because I'm the one saying it. My shtick is said all the time by leftist identity politickers all the time, and they're actually taken somewhat seriously. It's not as if I'm exaggerating. My shtick is literally what bunches of them believe.

You should definitely write for HuffPo. They'd lap it up and you'd be famous.

I was thinking of becoming a staff writer for The Guardian.

I could write an article about how a Disney cartoon has "real and material" impacts on entire societies. That kind of thing.
