  1. I used to enjoy your show but why should I entertain your self-hating sexism? Do I think more women in politics is a good thing...yes. However, it should be arrived at as a choice of the individual women, just like it is for men and after they prove themselves worthy in an election not some dictatorial banning men from full citizenship over something they, or anybody, had no control of. Instead, why not focus more on the character of the person running as it is completely within that person's control and is, imo, one of the best indicators of how they will lead. Then look at things not in the person's control that would affect their ability to lead such as mental decline or significant health issues. Finally, look at the policies the candidate is advocating and the ideas behind them and judge if they are Just. Edits for formatting

  2. Yet when you get pregnant it isn't just your body anymore because you are pregnant with a unique human being in an early stage of development. If it is a crime to kill a human being later in their development why is it not a crime to kill a human being earlier in it's development. Before you say it's just a collection of cells let me ask why is an extraterrestial bacteria is life in space but a heart beat is not life on Earth? Your logic only applies to the decision to have unprotected sex and it is, by far, a decision that the man and the woman make. If dicks stay in the pants and the legs stay closed then there would be no human for a woman to kill.

  3. The same can be said of the Left. After all, communism only happens after a demographic group is brainwashed into believing that they are victims and it is morally "acceptable" to steal and kill those that "oppress" you.

  4. May I ask why you limit your examples of authoritarianism is right wing examples. The 20th and 21st century is replete with examples of leftist authoritarianism?
