| No, the sexual revolution has NOT been turned around, except perhaps within the more insular fundamentalist and other highly religious subcultures themselves. In the more liberal parts of this country at least, LGBT people are more and more accepted with each passing decade. Also, outside of fundame... |

| We need to be teaching people how to deconstruct the ASD fallacy. We need to be banding together and punishing perpetrators and getting reparations for survivors, and protecting the children of today. Agreed that we need to be banding together, but I don't think a focus on "punishing perpetrat... |

| Do you accept the diagnosis, or do you see such things the way I do, as just White Coats promoting themselves, and as a mechanism for further and very harmful identity abuse? I wouldn't blame the "White Coats," who are simply responding to the perceived needs of the larger society. As I s... |

That is excluding harmful idiots like anti vaxxers and the parents that feed their autistic children bleach and think the blood in the ... |

| It's not just about women in fundamentalist and evangelical Christianity. Men can be treated like sh*t in religion too, because just "thinking or looking at women" or having sexual desire is biological for men from teens and on, it's not inherent to rape or "adultery". I no long... |

| For those of us in the iffy in-between category, whether because we haven't been officially diagnosed yet, or because we've received an inconclusive diagnosis, or because we feel that we've been misdiagnosed, or if we just happen to have lots of autistic traits, to a sufficient degree to put signifi... |

| I'm only too familiar with fundamentalist Christianity, though I'm an atheist myself. Yes, a wife has duties to her husband according to traditional Christianity; so does a husband to his wife. I'd say all in all a husband's duties are probably more exacting. In theory that may be true. However, re... |

| Why should working for the good of one's family be considered an INVARIABLY inferior station? It may or may not be, depending on various other circumstances, but that's not the point here. The point is that many evangelical/fundamentalist Christians believe not only that a woman should stay home an... |

| But SJW are prepared to use violence and break the law to enforce what they believe is "right". You won't force me to believe something that in your interpretation is right but I think is wrong - the state law is above all that and if the issue does not contradict it - we all have the fre... |

| Despite Democrats gaining control of the House, it's still an absolutely catastrophic failure of democracy, and a huuuuge win for Trump. Senate Republicans lost by 12,056,922 votes, but by drastic gerrymandering and voter suppression managed to gain two seats anyway . Actually, gerrymandering affec... |

| I think that first wave feminism was necessary. I really dislike today's brand of feminism. I wouldn't mind it if women in North America were standing up for the rights of women all around the world. That’d be racist as Muslim nations in Middle East and Africa treat women like s**t but saying anyth... |

| True feminists who are truly advocating for equality between men and women I completely agree with and support. However, a lot of people who claim to be feminists simply aren't, they're misandrists who don't want to admit what they truly are, and so hide behind the feminist label. You can't have a ... |

| How is men having their legs spread hurting women’s rights? On an NYC subway or bus at least, a man (or woman) having one's legs spread hurts the rights of anyone (male or female) who needs to sit down next to that person. I don't see this as a feminist issue per se except insofar as a woman may fe... |

| Men can be criticised by women but they are not allowed to criticise women and call women out on their nonsense. Men criticising women is regarded as sexism. Men regularly get sacked if they dare criticise or speak out against women in the workforce. Actually, at most workplaces, EVERYONE (male or ... |

| I detest most of today's major social media, e.g. Facebook. Message boards, e.g. Wrong Planet, are much better in my opinion, at least if you want meaningful discussion. |
