Nice try, but you overstepped anything remotely resembling reason, as well as reading things I did not write. The bit about assumption of guilt goes far beyond the Kobe Bryant case in the media circus Arutha decries. Ever hear of Richard Jewell? Maybe no one "called me on it" because I did not say any of the BS you attribute to me.
Read and comprehend.
Let's see: McCarthyism pre-dated Feminism. The Inquisition predated them both, as well as having predated the modern ideal and reality of free and liberal societies. In short, what the hell are you talking about, and where do you got off claiming that I equate Feminism with McCarthyism? I am not Ann Coulter, nor do I buy her books. Go and bitch to her about your comprehension problems.
Do you work for a living? Have you any clue what you are talking about when it comes to the complete subversion of equal protection under the law and the "assumption of guilt" in statutory labor complaints?
Feminism "gone bad" is exactly what disappoints me. "Feminism" has been hijacked by those who advocate the politics of hate and domination, just as the Republican party has been hijacked by the Far Right and the Bible Thumpers, and as the Democratic party is in being hijacked by the "blinders on" Socialist Left. (John F. Kennedy would puke if he saw what has happened to his party today.) What about the evolution of Feminism from empowerment and an agent of positive social change to a tired platform of hatemongering do you not get? I grew up during the era when Feminism made immense progress in breaking down blatant discrimination. I have watched it grow and mutate.
The legislative changes that the early Feminists fought for are in place.
So why the continued rhetoric of venom? Easy. Political power is the end, not "equality." And as for Fox whatever, I form my own opinions, I don't buy them from elsewhere. I have been disgusted with efforts to achieve "victim status" since the late 1980's.
Your dog don't hunt. Experience a few scenarios with how "family services" and the administrative presumptions of guilt play into a complete travesty of "equal protection under the law" before you open your mouth again, to me at least, on this topic.
In case you've never read The Constitution, equal protection under the law is covered by the 14th Ammendment, ratified 9 July 1868.
Read and comprehend.
