I'm getting very sick of this SJW/mainstream-media narrative that Donald Trump is some sort of frothing-at-the-mouth madman who's going to start a nuclear war and start sending minorities to concentration camps on his inauguration day.
Donald Trump is a pompous blowhard asshole. But he's also a fairly left-of-center conservative who is anything but crazy or irrational. He has absolutely no interest in starting any wars or doing anything crazy or stupid while in office. War these days is bad business and Trump isn't likely to to go out of his way to oppress anyone. He's way more Ronald Reagan than Dick Cheney.
I'm definitely sensing a building Thermidorian Reaction to this out-of-control SJW bullshit, as evidenced by the recent Brexit vote and the rise of Donald Trump.
Even on/., there was a time not too long ago when conservative voices where pretty much shouted down any time they challenged the SJW narrative. In the last few years, that has shifted dramatically, as more and more people have gotten sick of all the radical PC horseshit coming from the left.
Except in this case, Marissa Meyer *IS* the power at Yahoo. So she absolutely has the power to oppress men under her. The argument that women somehow can't oppress men because men have all the power is fucking laughable when a woman is CEO and is calling all the shots. What, do you think the men getting fired had some hidden patriarchy superpowers they could use to stop Meyer and her toadies from firing them?
Or are you suggesting that the 1960s broke up all-american hard-working black nuclear families?
Sadly, pretty much yeah. The Great Society social programs of the 1960's (that perversely rewarded single parent households), combined with the get-tough-on-crime/War on Drugs policies of the 1980's (that began incarcerating black men at an unprecedented rate) pretty much destroyed the traditional black family.
Today, two-thirds of black kids live in single-parent households and 72% of them are born out of wedlock. Conversely, only 1 in 4 white kids live in single-parent households and only 25% of them are born out of wedlock.
Just this week a U.S. President tried to veto an overwhelmingly popular bill that let U.S. citizens sue Saudi Arabia for their role in 9-11. So it seems a bit premature to declare their influence in American politics dead. Though it is an encouraging sign that at least Congress has the balls to stand up to them at least a little now--though only when the public overwhelmingly demands them to.
It was your fault for believing the CEO of the company when he lied repeatedly to every forum that would interview his barefoot hipster ass. It's not HIS fault that YOU were gullible enough to believe him.
Except the U.S. has already been in charge for 20 years and I've yet to see them seriously try to ban criticism of the U.S. government or its leaders from the internet. Do you seriously think the same would be true if China or Russia had been in charge?
And before anyone says it, yeah the U.S. was wrong on Snowden and Assange and many other cases. But who else would you rather have calling the shots? A bunch of European countries who consider criticizing Islam a hate crime, or who want to ban all non-SJW's from being allowed to speak lest they hurt some Snowflake's feelings? Or maybe one of the hundreds of vile dictatorships, authoritarian regimes, and religious wackjobs across the world who want to ban all speech criticizing them and their ideology/religion/cause of choice?
Seriously, even Australia and Canada have gone down the insane rabbit hole of criminalizing basic free speech lately. So who else is left who even stands a CHANCE of preserving any semblance of free speech on the internet?
Paying some glorified prostitute to come over and let me fuck her and buy her jewelry until she can get her green card and leave me isn't exactly my idea of a relationship. And anyway, I'm poor so even that's not an option.

Don't forget the ULTIMATE evil in the world: White HETEROSEXUAL men. I shudder to think of them plotting all their evil deeds.

Not just Hillary, but pretty much every U.S. politician for decades now. Oil trumps morality any day, and it also crosses all party lines.
But woman in video isn't subject to those laws
No, but unfortunately, as a Saudi, the man in this case certainly is.
Yep, if you don't nip this in the bud, pretty soon women will be demanding to leave the house without their husband's permission.
Saudi Arabia will never have to change as long as they have oil. Everyone is too busy kissing their asses to keep that sweet crude coming.

A friend described it as "Like Elite Dangerous, if you stripped everything interesting out of it and designed it for kindergartners."
I think they should change Mount Rushmore and replace those evil white men with Marrissa Meyer, Ellen Pao, Elizabeth Holmes, and Hillary Clinton.

Well, at least now we know why they were so cagey about releasing the game earlier for reviewers or releasing a beta version.

Jeez, people are so entitled these days.
Perhaps you missed the fact that this CEO is a *WOMAN*, which makes her a hero and an inspiration.
This is somehow all the evil male patriarchy's fault.
Too bad they couldn't have petrified her at age 12, when she could still act.
Ain't that the luck...and just when Marissa was on the verge of turning that company back into a powerhouse again.

When it comes to free speech, I'd still rather them be in charge than just about anyone else.
Yeah, but, THE BLACKS!
