    I really don't see how that works. Hand-to-hand still happens sometimes in modern war, and soldiers carry more stuff than ever, not to mention wounded comrades. Men who can only meet the average women's physical standards are tossed out as useless.

    The appearance of chastity is even more important to attract a powerful male. Even if he somehow has the enormous strength to manage a herd of sluts, why would he when he can be selective and accept only the freshest merchandise?

    Sure, talk can be restricted to business topics, but that means no talk about clothing, babies, marriage, diets, TV, or any other chick talk! No doubt that will make nursing and education a little more comfortable for men (though nobody seems to care how marginalized they are in those fields). Eliminating most personal conversation is dehumanizing, but that what's political correctness is: without dirty jokes almost all comedy disappears, the Works of Shakespeare disappear...until we're left with some dour drivel like Twilight, but that is just as gendered and unprofessional discussion topic and should be verboten

    Talking about sexual interest isn't misogynistic. Women have similar discussions about men, but they hide it. Back before "women's liberation" a man would be reprimanded for talking that way before a lady, though actually the men and women would go to gender-segregated colleges. Equality means women talking about the guys they want to fuck...but that conflicts with their mating strategy, so the tendency is to pressure men to act like debutantes.

    There are girls who make that joke all the damn time. Women can be just as vulgar; it is actually gender roles that make them want to appear prim. If they want to conform to those roles they should work in female professions, rather than try to feminize the entire working world and all men in it

    Used to be common sense that it's a bad idea for women to live with unrelated men. And that women, who lose every time against men in physical struggle, have no place in battle.

    I just realized that I had been implicitly thinking of her as less educated, due to her Arabic accent when speaking English.

    If she speaks English badly obviously she is less educated in English. And just because she is from a former colonial country and is therefore natively bilingual doesn't mean she is particularly educated. If you mean the content of her speech, it's not really bias to think someone is dumb until they reveal their intelligence--it's more like probability.

    It doesn't seem to be working like that in Florida, but if it were, people would think twice about getting into a bar fight or marrying a slut. We already have widespread abuse of "protective orders" for the defense of women, but their strong right to defense against "bad men" promises to have the positive effect of encouraging men to stay away from crazy bitches.

    The original prosecutor on the case was removed by the governor for not bringing charges. It's 100% political, mob justice. And juries have a strong bias towards conviction, in this case it will be close to 100% before the trial begins. Someone has to be held accountable when a boy dies...

    Actually what frequently happens is that you spend maybe a year in jail, facing enormous pressure to plead guilty, until you have a chance at trial to prove the multi-million-dollar police apparatus wrong. You must really hate yourself and freedom in general if you support that state of affairs.

    Men are over-represented in everything. Productive laborers, artists, and of course forces of law and order are almost exclusively male. Women seek an easier role in life, and aren't likely to really pursue any endeavor, let alone challenging criminal projects, but they do their part: most criminals were raised by single mothers.
