I see your point but this, exactly this, is why this culture clash and positive discrimination to refugee criminals are happening. "Don't blame them just because they're from a different culture!", say a lot of people. But their culture views women as inferior. That's the problem here and it was very well explained in the video. Their culture views women as a commodity. No to blaming rape on Muslim men, but also no to shutting your eyes from statistics that say that x% of recent rape cases were men from the Middle East. No to positive discrimination, no to letting our culture be stomped by theirs for the sake of political correctness.
Also, it's not about religion but rather about where the people come from. Demographics, geography, whatever you want to call it. Believing in Allah, God, or any pagan religion doesn't make you have different values as long as you live among people whose culture isn't oppressive. Culture =/= religion even though they're often intertwined.

Shouldn't radium and polonium be polish since it was discovered by Marie Curie Sklodowska? I mean, I know she married Pierre Curie and probably gained french citizenship, but shouldn't it be attributed to the country she was born in? (Unless she gave up her polish citizenship but I don't think she did)

I don't hate them but someone advocating the fact that they eat you before your corpse is cold is just too much imo.

Not really. Books are made up by words, words can have multiple meanings. People have interpreted the Bible in many ways, and nobody can know with absolute certainty what the authors meant when they wrote this or that story.
And that's just the original text in Hebrew/Greek/Aramaic, but the Bible was translated into so many languages it was inevitable that there would be more opinions based on a slightly different translation. Also, I'm not a historian so correct me if I'm wrong but I think that all the other translations were done based off the latin translation, Vulgata. So even the first translation might have been a bit off, and then all the others were based on that. It's like playing Chinese whispers.

Not really, Mulan was sure of her identity as a woman and even developped a crush on Sheng, she just had to pretend to be a man in order to be taken into the army instead of her old man.

Well, what if you believe in the pantheistic kind of Christianity? (Meaning God = nature) Wouldn't you then believe that nature created everything by evolution? The question is whether it's still Christianity, believing in God but not in biblical stories. I think the methodists do that, they believe that the Bible is to be taken as a metaphor, "moral of the story" kind of thing, not literally.

"Waste vaulable resources". Yeah sure, I'd eat my grandma's dead dog too if I was incapable of forming emotional bonds.

Look, most dictionaries try to be neutral with their definitions, so it happens that definitions for communism, fascism, nazism, and even feminism seem neutral (depends upon the dictionary though). So telling us the definition of feminism while we all know what it has become with their mansplaining and manspreading and absolutely not caring about countries where women are actually oppressed will not work.
I'm all for 1st and 2nd wave feminism. 3rd wave is just crap.
