    Is feminism evil?

    right. i'm talking about feminism as a political or governmental program, though, not ivory tower scholarly theory. my point is that most of the third-wave program is beyond the purview of 'governance', which is kind of the point- making it third-wave, and not second-wave. hence the irrelevance...

    Is feminism evil?

    you do realise that giving women "equal voting" means they can vote in women-specific legislation so that's pretty much the only right they actually 'deserve'

    that whole article makes me want to kill myself. i don't get it. is he implying that price controls, salary caps, and a sales tax on overseas goods are "orthodox economics"? is he implying that mainstream economics is orthodox economics? and almost everything he mentioned was populist bullshit...

    ok, so you've established that you can quote out of context, and that you get outraged if someone is curious as to why you're commenting on labour economics when you don't know much about it, and that you respond to congenial and cordial discussion with petulence the only amendment to the...

    and no one seriously pretends otherwise. so what's your point? i asked why. i haven't once implied that everything fits neatly into economic or scientific frameworks. they're models. they're analytical tools. they help us think. you keep strawmanning me, and economics, and attacking my...
