Some places and cultures more than others, of course.

What I don't understand is how one gender of a species can treat the other gender of the same species with such vile contempt (you know which cultures I am talking about). Here in western cultures, it's generally friendlier but then again we still have Adam Sandler unfunny-comedies to deal with, among other affronts to intelligence.

People within the same family, even. "Honor", it is called. How fucking despicable! Humans who share the same DNA who have such a lopsided existence, that one gender is seen as total trash and the other gender within the same family, sharing the same DNA are kings.

Do you have any particular point with that? I'm a friendly person, in general. You can go ahead and talk to me.

I am going to suggest something that will practically melt your face away, and will make you think you are seeing the crotch of a female Grey Alien, anyway, some female crotch that doesn't even look human.

I think everyone needs to check out what a healed FGM crotch looks like. Do you have anything intelligent to say about that?

the right to address your accuser was a basis for US jurisprudence and a Constitutional right.

So, once again i am wrong on a rights issue.

Alerts and jury decisions should be public record. Having anonymous alerts just clogs up the system.

How old are you, 17? You seem sharp enough, but not quite socially on the same level as an adult, or at least not as mature as I am.

DU helps keep the brain working. Not being able to speak I have to use a keyboard.

Our conversation was helpful. The biggest problem is organizing coherent thoughts.

Words define a society. With a society where there is more equality between the sexes (i.e Hawaiian) you you have different words for man and woman that don't share the same root.

I looked for a bong smiley but I didn't find one. I looked for a maryjane leaf, you know... just to make you pot smoking teens feel at home, but I didn't find any smilies to match.
All teenagers like you who post on DU must be smoking weed, right?
