@jorj I agree with your summarization of the president. But that is about all. Men arent oppressed in any discetnable manner other than being held accountable for their historically boorish behavior.

You talk about how bad the Democratic candidate was in the last election. I don't disagree. But that was most sexist campaign at that level of politics in perhaps our nations history. Hillary, whether you liked her or not (irrelevant) was held to a higher standard than any male candidate ever was. Her every gesture, statement or move was analyzed in microscopic detail. Her ability was questioned continually, not based on record and accomplishments, but on gender grounds, if not openly and overtly, then snidely and on the side. The same is happening with the female Democratic candidates running now.

I don't know what type of isolation you are experiencing in Appalachia that you can not see the disparity or the realities. Should I have time between giving and grading my finals this next week, I'll send you some references, not that it will change your mind about anything. Whatever damage was done to you in life has set your perceptions and opinions fairly intractable.

You are correct about one thing. The fact that I missed the publication date on the first reference I sent you is inexcusable. I was being sloppy. Won't happen again.

I can never understand how Banning abortion, when there's so many other things they could do to help children, is considered the f** Holy Grail to a Christian idiot.
