Only very briefly as I head off to work. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 28/08/2017 04:07:42 PM

The US Supreme Court outlawed racial quotas in the 1970s in University of California v. Bakke. Race may be used in affirmative action programs as one of many factors. It cannot be by itself dispositive. Wealth is another of those factors.

"We feel safe when we read what we recognise, what does not challenge our way of thinking.... a steady acceptance of pre-arranged patterns leads to the inability to question what we are told."

I love how they cite Vasquez from Aliens as a strong female character. Cannoli - 22/08/2017 04:46:53 PM 613 Views
Not where I pictured that going... aerocontrols - 22/08/2017 07:19:46 PM 479 Views
Uh, yeah, I don't see the link. Just because he cheated on his wife doesn't make him not feminist. Legolas - 22/08/2017 06:44:28 PM 500 Views
You are not the gatekeeper, either aerocontrols - 22/08/2017 07:25:31 PM 485 Views
I strongly protest against the notion that there IS a gatekeeper. Legolas - 22/08/2017 07:39:41 PM 466 Views
I am the gatekeeper. Both of you are out. Aviendha - 22/08/2017 07:52:22 PM 533 Views

Of course the real problem with the strong female action figure is the lack of real world models random thoughts - 22/08/2017 07:30:55 PM 487 Views
But is it? aerocontrols - 22/08/2017 07:45:30 PM 462 Views
An interesting thing about sci-fi is that it can plausibly eliminate sexual disparity in strength. Ghavrel - 22/08/2017 08:19:52 PM 497 Views
I take it by 'Africans', you mean 'black people'? Legolas - 22/08/2017 09:19:01 PM 488 Views

So that makes me wonder....What is the definition of a Feminist? Jeordam - 22/08/2017 11:20:49 PM 508 Views

I think people have different ideas of how to reach equality, some of which are stupid Aviendha - 24/08/2017 11:28:31 PM 531 Views

Sometimes 'real' is the right word, though aerocontrols - 25/08/2017 03:01:16 PM 504 Views
Well, sure. There's no dispute over their beliefs there, though. Ghavrel - 25/08/2017 04:03:47 PM 525 Views

Well, I can see you're busy aerocontrols - 28/08/2017 04:36:55 PM 518 Views
All else being equal, yes. But that's sometimes difficult to visualize. Ghavrel - 29/08/2017 03:56:56 AM 548 Views
How about a kid who's family endows one or more chairs? Or built the new gym? *NM* damookster - 29/08/2017 05:45:29 AM 264 Views

Someone needs to bring some rationality and logic to the topic. *NM* Cannoli - 23/08/2017 01:28:16 AM 253 Views
And, I thought it was "if you believe men & women are equal, you're a feminist!" *NM* Cannoli - 23/08/2017 01:29:24 AM 257 Views
