There is no such thing as "positive discrimination". There is simply discrimination, which I oppose in all cases. When one group is treated better than another group based on skin color or gender, it is wrong, in my opinion. How is it insulting? If it were insulting, whites would not have created special privileges ... Full Comment>>

Explain how it is different? In both cases, one group of people is given special accommodations, and you come to the conclusions that special accommodations are insulting. They are analogous. If you want to argue that it is different, then back up your claims. No one is saying women are disabled... you're just ... Full Comment>>

How is it making the conclusion that all women are bad at parking? The problem is that this is misandrist by providing a service for women, but not for men, but people really want to believe it's sexist against women, so turn it around into misogyny. The article author made the claim that it was because women are ... Full Comment>>

So the bus seats set aside for white people in the front of the bus, thus easier to get to and from, were really insulting to whites. Makes perfect sense. Full Comment>>

I love how this article tries to spin this as somehow misogynist. I guess "whites only" drinking fountains were really racist against white people, suggesting they weren't as good as blacks at drinking water. Full Comment>>

Stop being so ethnocentric! You think that humans are not animals, and above other animals. To other cultures, all animals are equal, and humans are not above other species (hence why meat eating is abhorrent). To you, the holocaust is totally different from the killing of dogs (or other animals), but to people who ... Full Comment>>

I think the point was that "It's legal, so therefore should be acceptable" is a feeble argument. There is a comparison in that slavery, dog meat, and the Holocaust were all acceptable within the cultures that practiced them, and only horrific outside said cultures. If you want to defend the practice of dog meat, ... Full Comment>>
