I see you're point of view; I think we're approaching from two different perspectives. For me: although I can't empathize, I can sympathize. From a different angle, it wouldn't be (in fact wasn't) weird for white people to support the equal rights movement in twentieth century U.S.; even adamantly support it.
You're a better person than IThat's ok. The PC crew has been rather hungry of late, no need to become their victim. I will sacrifice myself to satisfy their hunger.
Nice. Men and women should have equal rights. However, being the best tennis player in the world (or even top 700) isn't a "right."Men and women should be treated equally under the law! +1
Men and women are equal! -1
You seem to have a very poor understanding of feminism, much like pseudo-feminists. I'm guessing you've been around too many pseudo-feminists and not enough genuine feminists.
Yeah, if Nick was in a wheelchair!
I have. Crazy young progressive girls who were exchange students from the US when I was in Marseille. A few of my former classmates who went to study in the US have become crazies as well after a few semesters.
I see some of them crazy ones now and then too. And the funny thing is that many of them are more harmful to women than to men. They shame stay-at-home wives and you're apparently an embarrassment to women if you make your husband a sandwich because you're "conforming to subjugating stereotypes"
On the mark. One of them shamed my ex-gf cause she posted pics where she made dinner for us. I mean wtf? The thing that blows my mind is that they'll defend truly patriarchal societies (looking at the middle east) in the same breath.I see some of them crazy ones now and then too.

No doubt, some of this thinking is residual nonsense from the backlash aimed at the GQ tweet a while back that mentioned Federer as the GOAT. Some keyboard warriors rose up on Twitter to assert that Serena was the GOAT; not Fed. Their ammunition in that fight was "Serena has more slams than Fed." Affirming McEnroe's recent comments (after he was asked why he needed to qualify Serena's tennis legacy with gender): if professional tennis had a gender neutral tour, the very best female player would fall in around 700 (generous) or lower, and, without lucrative endorsement deals marketed to other females, would struggle to earn a living on that tour.
How dare you criticize patriarchy in the middle east!
Sam Harris is one of the greatest minds of the 21st century.
Well...
In some areas perhaps, but his work on morality is pretty weak to say the least. He's shown himself to be a great debater on many occasions, though he doesn't seem to me quite as much a thinker who is open to new ideas and can incorporate them. I listen to his podcast regularly though. I do think that his rebuttal of religious fundamentalism is great, though I personally find he goes too far with it.
Meh, depends on the area. Peterson blows Harris out of the water in his areas of expertise, which includes morality and Christianity.
He isn't perfect, and I disagree with him on morality being objective, but there is nobody I agree with more than I do with him. I also think he's the best atheistic debater, though many seem to prefer Hitchens.
You ever hear of people "Smelling fresh tennis balls" Now you know what theyre really talking about
Hitchens had an amazing way with words and inspired me in that regard years ago. Just the way he could play with the language, on the fly even, was quite spectacular. Sam has a considerably more accessible /reader-friendly way of writing for sure though, Hitchens liked to go a bit over the top with his vocabulary on the regular haha. In terms of a debater… Hitchens is better. The emotional element in a debate is not to be underestimated, and Sam is more calm and soothing (not that that's bad or anything, it's just less effective in a debate) almost to the point that he sounds anaemic, rather than scathing in his responses. Emotional/moral appeals are crucial in a debate format.
He'd win. Funny you mentioned a guy ranked in the 600s. Similarities to what Karsten Braasch said after he obliterated the Williams sisters (he was ranked 203 at the time) 6-1, 6-2. Keep in mind that he played them after a round of golf and a couple of beers, lol.
"We must examine ourselves to see why terrorists hate us so much."
This has nothing to do with feminism. Tony Jones is a **** stirrer (male) who's just having a go at Kyrgios (male). This has barely anything to do with Serena. It's just some random trolling Kyrgios.
Wow...
