For personal transportation the issue is and always will be recharging. Until we get 400kW chargers, it's kind of a step back in personal transportation. That is, basically until we get full-range (300mile / 500km) recharge times down to 15 minutes or less... boo.
I'm pretty sure, if the car manufacturers had until 2030 to solve the problem and then ICEs got cut off they could solve the problem. Battery tech has improved immensely the last 10 years and continues to do so. Give us another dozen years, and give the auto-makers REAL motivation and they'd have this licked.
She tried to get divorced three times, and each time she filed for divorce the judge pointed out to her that she wasn't actually married to any of her 36 cats.
Can you cite a law in any country that grants white women a judicial privilege no one else gets?
Gladly! Well, I can't say it's just white women..., but anybody assigned the female gender at birth has the privilege of having their genital integrity protected by law.
I'm also looking in the general direction of conscription. Let me phrase it this way. Anybody assigned the female gender at birth has the privilege of enjoyment of military protection without needing to register for selective service.
Here in the west no race are forced to mutilate their genitalia.
My genitals were mutilated at birth. That was forced, you asshole. I have suffered a FUCKING lot of physical PAIN because of a complication. My ex-parents never told me that they had mutilated my genitals.
Conscription is a very valid point, although as you point out that isn't just white women. The OP's claim was that white women had a legal advantage that no other group has. I still can't think of one example of a law that applies just to white women that gives them an unfair advantage over all others.
Sorry you genitals were mutilated, but, (I'm sure little comfort to you) that is still very uncommon, numbers-wise in the west. Typically it is only done on non-westerners by non-westerners living in the west and frequently involves taking them out of the west to get the procedure done.
Not true, in the US (and I believe Western Europe too), studies show women of South East Asian descent get the most positive reaction on dating apps. White men, and SE Asian women have the advantage on dating apps.
Citation needed; I've never heard of such a thing.
Google it. There are studies done on this all the time and they always come up with the same answer.
Male babies are still frequently mutilated in the USA, and the medical establishment still backs up this practice even though the European medical establishment gave up on this decades ago.
Are you seriously comparing male circumcision to female genital mutilation? Male circumcision may be completely unnecessary (I choose to not circumcise my son), but it is a completely different animal. The complications from the procedure are less frequent than those from piercing ears, or getting tattoos.
If you think male and female circumcision are in any way similar, you don't understand how horrific female genital mutilation is.
Just to clarify according to an article on the slate- a study of this very subject showed that men have an average sentence of 16 years longer that women.
HOWEVER, when you compare by crime the statistics are closer:
Men who have sex with a single 15 year old get on average just 14 months imprisonment. Women who have sex with a single 15 year old get on average 18 months imprisonment.
The 30 year sentencing for sex crimes are for violent, repeat offenders, or for someone who targets younger children.
Women just don't do that. They typically have a single victim, it's non-violent, and the child is just a year or two from age of consent.
Do male sex offenders get longer sentences than female sex offenders. The answer is yes and no.
Yes, males are more likely to get longer sentences than females; however, that is only because males are more likely to be repeat offenders and have additional conditions such as violence involved. Most people that argue that a woman who has sex with an underage boy should get a shorter sentence than a man who rapes multiple women and beats them afterwards.
For equal crimes, like a teacher seducing a student, women and men actually have a very similar average sentence. (if there are no other complicating factors)
So you know nothing about the last few thousand years of history or anything about society before you were born.
It's entirely irrelevant to discuss the societal position of white women historically when we are discussing "why are white women leading feminism".
White women are not responsible for the bad or good actions of their ancestors. Everyone on this planet, regardless of race or gender should only be judged on what THEY do, not what their ancestors did.
I'm not going to keep discussing this beyond this as it isn't really relevant to the article and will go on forever. It's not "buying into the propaganda", it's following actual real-life data collected on the subject. Studies have shown that when gun ownership and gun possession goes down, # of shootings go down.
A lot of gun owners think that owning a gun will help them prevent a shooting, or help protect them. Statistics show that the opposite is true. You're far more likely to be shot if you own a gun that if you don't. At home, on the town, wherever, carrying a gun makes you more likely to be a victim of violence.
No I wouldn't. If some idiot shows up to a theatre with a gun intent on harming someone, he's more likely to actually carry it out if there is someone else in the theatre pointing a gun back at him.
It's like the statistics that show gun owners are more likely to be shot by intruders than non gun owners. There's a reason for that. If you have a gun you're more likely to actively engage an intruder rather than hide/call police.
A law abiding patron with a gun is more likely to make a non-law abiding patron with a gun fire his gun in the first place.
I need you westerners to explain something about this feminism fart of yours.
Not all feminism is bad. Some just take it too far and turn equality upside down. I suspect you're not interested in equality though.
Why is it, and everything along with it, lead by white women?
It's not. There are plenty of black feminists and feminists of all colours.
White women are unarguably the most privileged class on this planet. - Most prefer white women for dating as dating app surveys showcase.
Not true, in the US (and I believe Western Europe too), studies show women of South East Asian descent get the most positive reaction on dating apps. White men, and SE Asian women have the advantage on dating apps.
- Most judicial systems are biased towards white women like no other race or gender on this planet.
That's a bit of a tall claim. Can you cite a law in any country that grants white women a judicial privilege no one else gets?
- White women were never prosecuted for their gender alone, or their skin alone. They were never forced to wear veils, they were never forced to mutilate their clits, they were never hanged and burned for being women like homosexuals and blacks were for their sexuality and skin color respectively. The closest thing they ever got was witch burning, though that has nothing to do with gender but more individual questionable practices.
What the fuck is the point of this social justice shit if justice is being defined by the most unjust privileged class in the world - white women?
Here in the west no race are forced to mutilate their genitalia. No one is hanged or burned for race or sexual orientation any more (at least not in any numbers).
Having lived in the US and the UK, unless the UK quality has gone down significantly in the last few decades, the experience in the US at a cinema is a lot less pleasant. The cinema's are dirtier. The patrons less respectful and noisy. More kids at later shows. Cinema's less comfortable.
Maybe it's just where I've lived in the US, but the all-round experience of cinemas over here is a lot less pleasant. It's where nasty, noisy, stinky people go.
Well if you really want to see a movie on its release date there are not many legal options.
I don't care if I watch a movie on it's release date or a year later. The content is still the same. Plenty of films I haven't seen- I don't have to see new ones the day they are released.

Don't be so incomplete; It's not just Putin endorsing Trump. You're making it sound like the only country that likes Trump is Russia.
North Korea has endorsed Trump too!
He is Korean, and Korean's list their last name first. So they don't Ban "Ki Moon". They Moon "Ban Ki".
Free?.. I paid Anonymous Coward $20 for my Slashdot account.
If you want more specifics, use google. Plenty more articles on the subject. Also, try google maps for geography. The UK is in Western Europe.
Yes, I'm joking, I didn't think it could be mistaken for anything other than a joke, certainly not an aggressive reaction.
Especially the ones with whips, corsets and handcuffs
I wonder how much of that is correlation rather than causation.
The types of men that are likely to get married are probably more reliable and trustworthy than men who don't get married.
