    What some men do not have the right to do is try and force their anti-abortion opinions on to women. [And let's be honest CP that is the one issue that gets so many men riled up].
    So, is it your opinion that people who haven't experienced <X> can't force their opinions on others WRT to <X>, or is abortion a special carve out for you?

      Abortion is a complex ethical issue nor is it or "women's issues" the topic of this thread. Cow Poke made an aside to which I replied. I see no reason to continue on that topic.

        That sounds interesting. She seems to be covering similar ground to that dealt with by Robert P Jones in his White Too Long which looks at the legacy of white supremacy in American Christianity

          I started a thread just to continue that discussion. After all, you stated that opinion, so I figure it's fair game to explore it.

              Very funny and plenty of black audience members were laughing. I would have liked to see the rest of the section.

              The public deference and private contempt has, of course, a long history based on the risk of being killed if due deference was not shown. The scene in Endicott's orchid house from Jewson's 1967 In The Heat of the Night remains a classic example of that attitude.

                That assumes it is only a male/female issue, and not a life/death issue.

                    Can you direct us to where such protests have ever taken place? Pictures of women holding placards demanding these things would be nice as well.

                      2) I actually HAVE been threatened with death. Even had somebody shoot into my apartment, the bullets hitting my bed, but I was in the shower.

                      I was on a multi-jurisdictional drug enforcement task force, and was frequently threatened with death. The main reason I got out of "front line" law enforcement was when I got married and we had our first child. I didn't want her to grow up without a daddy.

                      As for your question to me concerning my law and order experience that is simply your employment of "whataboutism".
                      No ma'am - that's your own double standard staring you in the face.

                        I recently binge-watched In the Heat of the Night -- I was impressed with how many troubling social issues they dealt with in nearly every episode, and how well they handled them.

                          The correct term is "hot flashes".
                          And my wife preferred the term "power surges".

                          You are free to correct me of course.
                          And we do, frequently. (I just did above )

                          What some men do not have the right to do is try and force their anti-abortion opinions on to women. [And let's be honest CP that is the one issue that gets so many men riled up].
                          I wish you would ALWAYS be honest, H_A, but abortion is NOT the "one issue" that gets men - or ME - "riled up". That's just a really silly notion.

                            Women take time off work because they experience hot flashes? What a joke! What a bunch of babies!

                            Do the men in your life force anti-abortion opinions on you? Of, I forgot. You live with a woman.

                            Look, you are absolutely demented and the most ridiculous person on this site. You and firstfloor should get together. Oh, wait, I forgot, you are into misandry.
