Socialist feminism argues that women’s oppression is tied not only to patriarchy, but also to capitalism. It generally supports universal childcare, government-funded healthcare, paid leave, stronger labor protections, social housing, and broader public control over care and economic life. Supporters see this as collective liberation; critics argue it expands state power, weakens private institutions and family independence, and ties feminism to an anti-capitalist agenda.

I strongly oppose it because I reject the idea that women can only be liberated by weakening capitalism, traditional families, private property, and economic independence. Replacing reliance on family, community, and voluntary institutions with greater dependence on government is not liberation in my view. Women deserve dignity, security, and opportunity, but those goals are better pursued through strong families, fair employment, private ownership, voluntary cooperation, and targeted reforms rather than socialist control over economic and family life.

I think that no woman is truly yours. Women come and go, she might just lose feelings for you. Women put a lot of weight into how they feel and their feelings can just change one day.
As people we all get complacent and she may just lose attraction, cheat or decide she doesn’t want you anymore. I don’t think women live in the same way men do. Even after breakups it’s just women partying and feeling relief, they are happier single and have so many friends.

I had someone so beautiful, I don’t think I’ll find any girl prettier than her. Turned out not to be that nice of a girl as I had previously thought. But I am left feeling like I’ll never find anyone again.

Are they loud? Like do they stand out since they’re so light colored?

Graham was running around like a chicken with its head cut off, then in hours was suddenly dead. No history of heart problems really. He drank some Putin tea or got poisoned by Putin Agent. Graham was in Europe trying to after Putin. Better weapons to Ukraine and more sanctions. Moscow has been hammered in recent weeks.

It is nothing like pagan religions, where people were buried with their belongings, or polytheistic religions in which every city had its own god.

Christianity, which most of you belong to, is considered by some to have begun as a sect of Judaism. Since the Jews no longer had a sovereign state, it lacked the institutions that might have kept it within Judaism. Its revolutionary feature was its claim to universality, which separated it from Judaism and gave rise to missionary work.

Judaism centers on the revelation of the Torah to Moses, alongside later rabbinic traditions. Christianity is different: the Gospels were written decades later by people traditionally linked to the apostles. Rather than being presented as God's direct words, they mainly recount Jesus' life. One could argue that this makes Christianity easier to reinterpret and reform.

Islam, meanwhile, also claimed universality but almost immediately became the religion of a state. Within a century it had spread from al-Andalus to Khorasan. Muslim scholars developed detailed traditions in hadith, sira, aqidah, fiqh, kalam, and tafsir. In that sense, Islam combines Judaism's strong textual tradition with Christianity's missionary outlook while avoiding what many see as their weaker aspects. Its legal and theological traditions are so comprehensive that major reform is far more difficult.

Muslims also tend to place greater emphasis on the ummah and religious commitment. British Protestant schools in the Ottoman Empire initially aimed to convert Muslims, but their own reports admitted they achieved little success because Muslims were deeply attached to their faith. Many schools instead focused on converting Armenians.

Recently, a comedy portrayed Jesus as gay and drew relatively little reaction from Christians, despite Christianity being the world's largest religion. Try making a similar claim about the Prophet Muhammad to a Muslim. If your head is still attached afterward, consider yourself lucky :D

Bernard Lewis is known for advising George W. Bush and for reports he provided to the CIA, but he was also a highly influential scholar.

Edward Said, on the other hand, was his most prominent critic

Obviously, just as there are plenty of short men and tall women, there are plenty of logical women and highly emotional men. However, as a generality, would you agree than men are more rational and logical than women?
