I'm not in or from the US, but I'm guessing unemployment doesn't pay enough to live the good life? Should just be enough to keep you alive?

If you want to leave you shouldn't worry about starving in the pursuit of better employment imo

Oh I absolutely agree. I have no idea how to give women more autonomy when they are stuck in these repressive households.

What you're speaking of is how it should be, how to get there is not easy.

"A protracted legal dispute is not in the interests of any party, least of all the complainants who we recognise have already experienced significant distress as a result of this incident,"

This was their apology? Or did I miss something?

Hope you're right. Nice chat :)

I agree in most cases. However it is an issue when it's no longer a choice.

Anecdotal, but a church/cult where I grew up and went to school, forbid women and girls to wear anything but skirts. Now a lot of them maybe preferred skirts over pants, but it was never their choice.

Gotta say I'm on the fence on this one. Women should be allowed to wear whatever the hell they want, but it is a problem when a garment is occasionally forced on only them. I have no good solution

Devils advocate here: isn't the reasoning behind the hijab bans that it's sexist, not a safety issue?

I remember way back, I got into an argument with an antivaccer on formula1 of all places. He was so detached from reality it's kinda scary. Of course he posted frequently on conspiracy. It's like nothing matters, nothing can be true outside of that echo chamber.

They really don't believe their eyes, it's kinda scary.

Slightly

40 and same

I never said you were in favour of it, another assumption you're making. You asked why the downvotes and the answer is your strawman argument(s), and being against geoblocking and pro privacy isn't mutually exclusive.

Poor strawman mate. You don't have to be "a geoblocking fan," you can despise it, while also not enabling privacy invasive firms.

On ethics.....

I live there. And as someone else said, get a job that will relocate you or apply for a school is likely the easiest way in.

Not going to judge you or anyone for it, but I'ma be honest it does strike me as odd to use that word instead of woman. Woman's a perfectly good word, and it's not being used in a derogatory manner, which I assume you agree female most definitely does in some circles

Not going to get into an argument about the mod or the op, but I've never heard someone say female instead of woman or girl. Only seen it online (more often than not in a negative manner,) or nature documentaries.

Jeeeeses you weren't joking. Delusional and some are quite sad.

Apparently they just posted from other instances

Unrelated, but has anyone noticed that almost all posts and comments have at least one downvote?

However, Shry reportedly added that the agents would need to “worry” if Lee traveled to Alvin, where she lives.

How do you get this dumb? Why on earth would she say that? Whether she plans to act on her threats or not there is nothing for her to gain from saying that.

I get that she's despicable. But my god she's monumentally stupid as well

Of the big ones I prefer Reuters and APnews
