    And my point is that they won't be able to see that. Our great-grandparents fought and suffered to get rid of that kind of exploitation and our society improved immensely as a result. These idiots are desperate to bring it back because they don't understand that consumer capitalism needs people with disposable income.

    You're missing the point. A gig economy is fine as long as someone else is doing it. If that was applied to their jobs, I doubt they'd be quite so keen.

    Once or twice? Try reading a history book sometime genius. Most men were not oppressors they were oppressed, usually by male rulers bit sometimes by female rulers as well. The post was a terrible time for just about everyone. How many women were forced to fight in wars? Do you think only women and girls were sexually assaulted? 75 years ago the terrible white men you so despise died in their thousands to overthrow one of the most evil regimes in history. Give the left back to people who know what to do with it and stick your micro aggressions and your trigger warnings up your arse.

    Getting rid of gender-based prejudice is a noble goal and one I support. Censoring a three letter file extension that is not even misogynistic is just madness. I hope you enjoy having President Trump as a result of this kind of insanity.

    This problem is fixed by making consent explicit

    Unless it's a signed and notarised consent form how do you prove that? This is a private act with no witnesses possibly under the influence of alcohol.

    Not really. People died to create my democracy and some of my heroes are the people that created universal health care here. In fact the current leader of the opposition is an old school leftist, a kind man of the people who believes in everyone and refuses to play stupid games. I and hundreds of thousands of others joined the Labour Party to vote for him. He won't be allowed to be prime minister though. The corporate shill media are already in overdrive scaremongering.

    I was and still am fucking furious about this latest insanity. It's not about a file extension, it's about people self-censoring out of fear of a backlash. Of you can't see how dangerous this is then think again. This is way more insidious than some overt dictatorship but it's just as destructive to people's (nearly always men's) lives and should be opposed.

    Because it's fucking insane that's why! This is why I refuse to be a part of the left now because it's been taken over by lunatics. The right is even more mental so I guess I'm not voting again. This kind of idiocy is why there's a half decent chance you'll get President Trump.
