Women are well represented by their fathers, brothers and husbands.â I

12/01/2019 02:23Who wants to live in a system where politicians argue about how much ANYBODY makes? This is the great fallacy of Socialism. What ANYBODY makes should not be at the whim of a politician.

11/30/2019 20:11These women and all women today in the western world, have never experienced gender discrimination. Feminists are nothing more than a bitter, angry, mob. Demanding special consideration to themselves while demanding men be punished for not bowing to their radical demands of class superiority. They don't want equality, in fact they demand the opposite. That they be treated as the superior race while men are second class citizens with no rights. Feminism is fascism, plane and simple.
