It's funny that the USA in Afghanstan are trying to help women to free themselves from slavery. When at the same time they (USA) support Saudi Arabia wich probably are one of the worst countries in the world when it comes to women slavery.

I'm upset with both of them, the fact is that it doesn't matter who is sitting in the Oval Office, it will happen anyways. So lets cut out the "Omg Republicans" and "Omg Democrats" and just say "Fuck Saudi Arabia"

Can we at least unify and come together on that?

Feel free to cut out a snippet of my post and then interpret in your own way after you've stripped context.

Oh, man, I'm sorry I stripped away all the mighty, infallible context of "Every president does it and it's bad so we shouldn't focus on the presidents" when the fact that they do it literally enables Saudi Arabia to be shitty, meaning Saudi Arabia can't be focused on since its behavior is being rewarded.

I notice you guys are always absent from topics about laws being introduced to let rapist sue women for getting an abortion.

You're not, you're just trolling. Have fun pointing your finger at your neighbor when your own house is on fire and you know the arsonist is in your backyard. Good night.

The mainstream feminist movement doesn't really throw out a lot of reasonable things to protest over. Abortion is about the only thing that could be agreed among the liberal wing to be a legitimate concern, but feminist/leftist hubs like BuzzFeed seldom make a huge deal of this and instead focus more on a neo-puritan culture war.

I'm sorry you lack the intellect to debate my points. I didn't cut out the context of your post - it was in direct response to the logic you were using. Since I refuted you and you have no response, bye, I guess?

Why complain about your working conditions where there are labor camps used in North Korea? Complain about that!

God some posts here are stupid. If there was an easy solution for Saudi Arabia I'd like to hear it. Why don't we fix all third world countries while we're at it.

Uh, you do. That's a fact. It exists and you still pretend people don't have any reason to protest in this country over women's rights. Because someone somewhere has it worse, you turn a blind eye.

Uh, I was unaware of it, but hey, its not like I like the GOP's rigid stance on abortion. We can criticize both and its an absolute travesty.

Maybe if you people raised awareness with the real problems, and not the mansplaining bullshit, I'd know about it.

What delusions? We give money to Saudi Arabia > Saudi Arabia funds radical mosques. Trump is directly responsible for this. However, you shave it off by saying most presidents do this, so we should focus on Saudi Arabia instead since they're the main culprit. How do we do that when the most powerful nation is condoning their actions via cash transfer?

You have the patience, you just can't come up with a counterargument since I dissed the Orange Messiah.

No. I dismiss the dumbass rhetoric that gets popularized by the Anita Sarkeesians of the world, but just pretend that doesn't exist.

Do you see me dismissing it now? Just because you are a rigid ideological purist doesn't mean we all are.

First there were no problems now you're asking for ones other than the obvious?

"Oh I'm SOOOO concerned about women in saudi arabia guys i'm not just using them to try and diminish problems in other countries".
