We Do Not Kneel
I am denying you even know what affirmative action even is.
"Affirmative action, known as positive discrimination in the United Kingdom, refers to policies that take factors including "race, color, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or national origin"[1] into consideration in order to benefit an underrepresented group "in areas of employment, education, and business"".
Woo, that was hard.

No, however that is irrelevant. Who is doing the portraying? you are suggesting women are, like there is some kind of media conspiracy at work here.
No, I said collectivist feminists. I mentioned no media conspiracy. Interest groups are well known to act in concert to affect a certain change. In fact, that is what they are for.

so some people are bullies. youa re kind of a jackass, maybe they were calling you out for being a jackass.
Thanks, d**k.
I'm not talking about that. You calling me a jackass is fair game.
What I oppose is groups who try to, say, take Rush Limbaugh off the air for saying something mean about women.

And what principle is that?

I'm Canadian. I think they're a good idea.
Ok, I'll bite. How are hate speech laws a good idea?

I wish they all would. Some don't. Public birth control is huge, astronomically so, public benefit. If nothing else, it would reduce rates of children born into poverty which would have direct influence on crime rates and standards of living. also it would reduce the drain on public expenditures, as there would be fewer dependants.
I agree that it may be a public benefit, but it is often presented as a basic right, which it isn't.

the misinformation here is that you failed to consider the nuance behind such policies. to say you're ignorant is, frankly, hoping for the best.
Any nuance is inconsequential. Each of those policies is irredeemable bad, so to soften them is only to soften a death blow.
