"Was Martin Luther King pro-choice? Was Mahatma Ghandi a feminist? Is Barack Obama a supporter of gay marriage? Why should we completely ignore a thought leader just because s/he is not 100 percent correct? We must take her/him in context. This post exposes the absolutist thinking that cripples so many of the frequenters of this blog."

"@DrK One can conclude that Obama is not a feminist from an almost infinite number of things that he has done, Summers appointment is just one of the more egregious actions he has taken. Why can't women's rights be a part of your "contentious political landscape?" Do you have any idea the number of women in the three branches of Federal government? 17 percent in Congress, 1.8 percent in the Supreme Court and 0 percent in the Executive. These numbers are the most important issue facing the U.S. I won't grant Obama any political latitude. He works for me, and he is failing miserably."

"Apparently I struck a nerve. I will concede that my first sentence could have been worded more clearly, however, judging by the tone of your reply, you got the gist of my complaint. Here are some figures on the number of female full professors in the U.S. http://cra.org/info... 11 percent women as full professors IS sickening. Compare that to the 19 percent of female Computer Science / Computer Engineering degrees awarded, and you will start to see my point. Women are the underrepresented majority in the U.S. Until women are at LEAST 51 percent in key positions of power, I will continue to upset white men. (It's almost always white men who get the most upset when I point out the gender disparity. Why wouldn't they be upset? They are the ones who will be losing the most power in the new structure.) The stuff about old boys club and part of the solution? Whatever. I am not trying to build a community or make friends. I am simply pointing out sexism when I see it. Is that..."

"Hmmm. Certainly seems like a boy's club to me. Why not hire some women and prove that you aren't sexist.? Women are the underrepresented majority in the U.S. The ratio of full professors in computer science the U.S. versus the number of women Ph.D. graduates in computer science is sickening. Look at the numbers yourself. You can be part of the solution."

"This is not the oppression olympics. This is us calling out gay-haters. You people who are saying that gay rights aren’t civil rights should be ashamed of yourselves. You are the enemy of individual liberty and when you minimize gay oppression you sound like a bigot."

"“The point is not blame, insult, or injury. It’s figuring out what happened and how to move forward.” No, the point is to blame anyone who is opposed to individual rights."

"So let me get this straight. What you are arguing is that these black voters, who just voted to destroy individual rights, should not be held accountable for their actions, because they are black? Seriously? That’s what is sounds like to me. You contend that these voters were duped by advertising into accidentally taking away my liberty? Then, to add insult to injury, you put the blame back onto the LGBT community for not recruiting enough minorities to their cause. So, there is no accountability unless you are white. If you were black or latino, you had no responsibility to volunteer. Some white person from the LGBT community should have shown up at your door and forcibly taken you to the headquarters? Give me a break. I volunteer for this cause because I am well aware of it and believe in individual rights. What person in California isn’t aware of the issue? They would have to be living under a rock. Your argument is irrational and also incredibly poorly stated. The link where you..."

"Religious freaks win again. Fucking christian family values. Those who do not support individual rights are in direct violation of the Constitution. This is an act of war against an oppressed minority and we will fight these hateful Abrahamic tyrants."
