"Money Is More Important For Men"

[suashi]

What personally scared me was how many anti-women republican presidential candidates were in the running this year in the US, some of them blatantly so (Santorum, for one).

I'm torn between being glad Santorum dropped (good thoughts to his daughter though) and wishing he was still there to be a thorn in Romney's side. :\

There's still *snicker* Ron Pa-

AHAHAHAA. I can't do it.

Hah, true. I guess Romney's the lesser of the two evils but I probably won't vote for him either. It's depressing that we've seen far more anti-abortion laws proposed than anything related to actual important issues like the economy and jobs. The first person who actually shows legitimate interest in the economy is gonna get my vote, which means I'm probably going to end up writing in someone XD

I'm not sure I'll bother voting this election. Voting during general election years is pretty pointless in this state because the outcome is predetermined. Too many people going out and ticking whatever boxes have the (R) guy, often without even knowing anything else about them.

And considering I'm pretty centerist/left center on the political spectrum, I don't really have anyone to vote for anyway.

I lose more and more faith in humanity every day. Stuff like this really gets my blood boiling.

ITT: Feminism

I'll be honest, I used to scoff at "feminists." I always thought that feminists were ignorant man-haters who thought women were better than men. I've always thought women and men are equal, but I never considered myself a feminist until recently. Then I realized that the ignorant man-haters were, well, ignorant man-haters instead of true feminists, who want equality for everyone. So yes, now I do proudly consider myself a feminist.

I still personally think feminism is a stupid word because it does imply female superiority, instead of equality, but whatever. The ideas behind it are great.

The fact is

Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others.

The fact that they had to toss the "Republican" label on there just to spite Republicans makes me laugh. You could have removed that word from the article and the point would still get across. Naturally the same goes for all the anti-Democrat articles that are out there as well.

But.....but......LABELS! WE MUST HAVE THEM!

So when the hell did this thread turn to politics?

Well, there was that time back in the original post when there was a link to an article about some politicians repealing a law that contained regulations on payment for protected classes.
