@Slash Gallagher That's superficial and stupid, meaningless differences. It also ignores women who sound deep and men with a high voice. I myself have a somewhat high voice. With your logic, those men are effeminate and those women are masculine. See how stupid that is?

... thanks for being a damn creep...

Don't put words in my mouth. I want a more equal world, but one that's built on peace. If we can't have that, then it should be clear, who are the ones to suffer most when the boys go to war, which is still seen as a strictly male occupation? Women and children. Historically true.

And indeed Halons Razor has always been important to bear in mind. Nevertheless, TLJ went above and beyond the call of duty. I can't list it all here. I would recommend any of the highest rated TLJ hate vids on Youtube, particularly Mauler.

I don't want to infect my mind with the hatred of Star Wars fandom. Those would be the same numb nuts who attacked Jake Lloyd and Ahmed Best and accused the latter of being a racist stereotype, a position I vehemently disagree with. That said, I chalk that more up to plain incompetence, so their more active progressive agenda drowns that other stuff out. I think modern writers suck, and I've made no secret about that.

It's being inclusive to men, ironically. But yeah, historically, women and children are the most to suffer in war, as men either rape or murder those traditionally seen as more helpless just because they can, for sadistic joy, or a host of other reasons.

For some reason I highly doubt that as many or more women were raped than soldiers shot, rolled over by tanks, torched by flame-throwers, executed by either their own or the opposing side, scattered over the landscape due to landmines and explosive ordinance and starved or froze to death, not to include those who died at home, in PoW- or concentration-camps or death-marches.

Oh boo hoo. As long as men conduct themselves honorably in war, I can sympathize with their pain. Even cut them some slack, like with looting. But anything more than that, I lose all sympathy the second they cross that line.

Statistics mean nothing. Every side can use it to push an agenda. I don't trust them after 2016.

You sound as sympathetic to their pain as a nail through someone's foot tbh.
