Questions: Society & Politics

It's common practice to sing the national anthem before an international match so when the American woman's team refused to sing and stood in silence it drew global attention and speculation.

There's even been a call from one critic to ban America from future tournaments and another says it's ugly Americans showing their true colours. www.dailymail.co.uk/.../...heirs-hands-hearts.html

We love speculation on GAG so what's your theory?

Fact: Feminism was invented by men. The word feminism itself was first coined in 1837 by French philosopher, Charles Fourier. Feminist and gender scholars agree that it was created among heterosexual middle-class men to respond to the cultural changes occurring at the time. It was created under the system of the patriarchy. And as every feminist will tell you, anything under the patriarchy must be bad. A woman's right to vote was Passed by Congress June 4, 1919 by a majority of WHITE MEN.

Progressive definition: favoring or advocating progress, change, improvement, or reform, as opposed to wishing to maintain things as they are.

There's no such thing as moral improvement for a moral relativist. Slavery would just be currently out of fashion. No more really wrong than wearing white after labor day. Some people think its fine. Others do not. So its not "improving" on anything.

As in: you know their names, ages, personality. And have met during your every day life (as in not gone to a meet and greet specific for LGBTs). Whether that's work, school, clubs, gym, concerts etc

So this is in relation to my last question and it's left me curious, some have said it's good to know how people live with transgenderism as a child.

So how many of you have met a transgender person in your life, so far I've met one and she was lovely, she never pushed it down your throat and other than her appearance, which was very obviously male, it was never mentioned. And since transgenderism is meant to be 0.5% of the population, I really am curious about the results.
