    I just cannot get over HA's idiotic comment about women taking time off work for hot flashes.

    Because, firstly, you cannot predict when a hot flash will occur. So, do you ask for a whole, sometimes, decade off work? Because I had hot flashes for just about that long.

    And, do women take time off every month when they have their period? Maybe a day during if they have real issues with pain or heavy flow, but to book off 4-7 days every month due to menses would be just as stupid as taking time off for hot flashes.

    I begin to think that HA is not really a woman, but a man living in his mom's garage who wants a boyfriend really badly. And no man wants him, so he hates men. And pretends he knows what it’s like to be a real woman.

    Yes. Much as I like Japan, the people, and the culture - the racist element is often readily apparent.

    Oddly - more evident between the groups when both are not in their homelands. It is cause for more than a little head-scratching.

    Indeed. I have a good deal of contacts in our Asian community and have been shocked more than once just how much hatred there is for each other between Japanese, Chinese and Koreans.

    And then there was the Olympics in Beijing a few years ago where the police placed all African exchange students and residents in lockdown during it because "everyone knows" they're all thieves and crooks and the government didn't want them spoiling the show.

Or protesting for the rights of women to have time out from the work place for hot flushes during their menopause. You are free to correct me of course.

    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].

    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.

    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 )

    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.

    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.
    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.

    A) It would really not surprise me if that was your takeaway, and
    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.

    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.

    No I don't. You are just grasping at excuses like you always do.

    I admit it is a guilty pleasure of mine to watch.

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