Hm, in terms of the environment. I think the political parties currently in control in both Australia and the US don't really care about the environment or climate change, because if they did they would; firstly, stop creating nuclear weapons. Secondly, they would stop raping the land of the countries that they invade such as Iraq, or Vietnam where chemical weapons are still having children born deformed. And thirdly, they would stop investing in corporations which exploit people in developing countries and polluting earth with junk.

Quick question to all the Americans; why don't you guys have a federal body that runs all elections rather than state based elections? Wouldn't that ensure free and fair elections as well as stop gerrymandering? In Australia we have the Australian Electoral Commission, I know you have the Federal Electoral Commission but that it only registers voters.

It took me like ten minutes to understand this joke.

So relevant

This post is so on point, HAHA.

Amen!

If they're a great lawyer than they don't need to know the judge?

As a feminist myself there are exerts in things she fails to mention which are issues in western society. Firstly, we live in capitalist systems, meaning that the markets dictate society's values. Women are purposefully objectified and made to by Beauty products. Secondly, only 7% of directors are women while only 16% of film protagonists are women this is a major misrepresentation of women in popular culture. Thirdly, the objectification of women which is, turning a human into an object, is the first step into justifying violence against them, this is where the rape culture comes from. I would also like to point out that women are hugely underrepresented in powerful jobs. 17% of congress is made up of women, whilst powerful media companies like fox only have one women on a board of 16! In terms of Australian democracy, we only have one woman in cabinet! How is one woman meant to represent more than half of Australia. And keep in mind racial and class stratification, plays a huge part.

Desensitisation at its finest, the loss of genuine human connection is evident.

Men can say all they want, but women have never succesfully oppressed an entire gender. The truth is that there are more women in the world then men, and yet men dominate every single influential area; such as government (Australia only has one woman in cabinet) and the media (Fox only have one woman on their board). Women are still not politically, socially or economically equal to men. Feminists DO NOT hate men, they will have many men in there lives. But the fact is that women are still not equal to men in the capitalist society's we live in. Instead of demonising feminists more men should actually identify themselves as believers in the cause, rather than using a tiny radical percentage to alienate all women. So please all the guys out there who complain about the thought of women being equal to them, educate yourself and stop using your ignorance against us. This issue won't go away until women are equally represented in all institutions of government and social needs are met.
