I'm sorry one Google search didn't bring up populist topics you where looking for. Just because family law isn't on the forefront of the general feminist agenda doesn't mean there isn't attempts at reform or, has been in the past. It's very obvious your entire concept of feminism is rooted in ignorance at best, a misinformation at worse.

Here's a paper explaining how feminism has changed family. Giving many modern (1960 onward)examples.

1. Removed the ban on contraceptives.Allowing the individual to determine their reproductive rights. Both man and women.
2. Made it so alimony wasn't just from husband paying wife but could be from wife to pay husband.
3. Made it unconstitutional to to discriminate against children born outside of marriage. Affects men and women.
4. No-fault divorce. Allowing people to actually get divorced. Both men and women.
5. Created laws for restraining orders, and classified marital rape.
6. Increases recognition of informal relationships (not legally married).
7. Created a legal separation between sex and procreation which laid the ground work for same sex relationships. Helps men and women.
8. Helped remove gender based roles described in family law which redefined legal marriage. Helps men and women.

"I don't know off the top of my head of any feminist court reform attempts so obviously there are none."

Get over yourself

Feminism when women have issues in society: "Men, you must fix this! Or else you are an evil person!"

Feminism isn't women asking men to fix their problems. It's asking men to simply treat them the same so they can fix their own problems. And it's not even fully just men, but the patriarchy which if you don't know the difference then you need to figure that out before you start making broad sweeping generalizations of feminism.

Feminism when men have issues in society: "Ew, sort your own shit out, loser males

Except feminism is also about fixing male problems. Every single problem men face would be fixed if we got equal rights. For example one of those most prevelant problems that men face is discrimination in family court. Men almost always get screwed when it comes to parental rights. This stems from the old patriarchal view that men should be working and women taking care of the children. When divorce was first legalized courts gave the women custody of the children so men could be free to be men with out the burden of children. Now, men have grown and are starting to realize they want to be fathers. They want families. But due to old patriarchal ideals and ingrained 'traditions', often not even conscious decisions, men get screwed when it comes to parenting rights.

This reaches across all feminist ideals. Men just dont want to hear it.

I'm fully pro-abortion, pro reproductive rights, pro trans rights. I don't know where you felt I implied otherwise. Ill gladly clear it up if possible.

Role models

Boys traditionally are taught from a very young age that uncompromising, and 'unfeeling' toxic males are what we need to look up to. So that's what they gravitate towards. It's a whole other discussion about unburdening and unpacking toxic views in men that is the core issue actually at play.

Disproportional push in favor of girls and to the detriment of boys is also to blame.

Women pushing for equal rights isn't to blame for men not unpacking their own toxic baggage. If no one is standing up for boys look at the men. It's not girls' fault that no one is trying to reachout to troubled boys. The ones who are reaching out are toxic gross assholes like Tate or Rogan who are using these boys as a means to line their bank accounts.

Doesn't look like it's gonna fix itself anytime soon though.

Social inequality is never going to fix itself. There isn't a single issue in the world that is going to just fix itself.

50% of what Thanos considers life since it was powered by his will. Since he seemed to imply that nature (plants and animals) where not part of this it's safe to assume it was sapient life only.

The footprint-based system means that selling more small vehicles does not necessarily help manufacturers meet the standards. Smaller vehicles are subject to more stringent requirements, such that a manufacturer of smaller vehicles has a lower CO2 standard while a manufacturer of larger vehicles has a higher CO2 standard. Footprint systems encourage improvements in efficiency, regardless of vehicles size, and have relatively little impact on vehicle size mix. Unlike a weight-based standard, a footprint-based standard encourages use of lightweight materials while maintaining the vehicle size, without subjecting the manufacturers to a higher CO2 requirement.

Because car companies send lobbyists to Congress and pay to influence bills.

There is a law in the US that says trucks must meet a certain Miles per gallon fuel economy. But there is a loop hole that says trucks over a certain size are not included in that law. So as long as the trucks are ridiculously big they don't need to worry about their fuel economy.

Edit: it's the CAFE law.

When I was a kid I used to walk to the movie store to rent games. I would go back every time I had money and rent Chrono Trigger, but some one would always erase my save, so I would have to start over.

On my birthday I got a check from my grandma that was for 50 dollars. I walked right up to the game store and slammed my check on the counter for one copy of Chrono Trigger. I didn't know how money, checks, or sales tax worked.

Luckily, my mom bailed me out. I played that game for years. I still have such fond memories of that game.

The guy you are arguing with is an idiot trying to make you angry to "win" because you said to not get angry. Just ignore the troll.

Communism is literally not dictated by the few. Communism is anarchist in that there are literal no leaders. What you are thinking of is leninism, where a group of few used the ideas of socialism and communism to hoard power and money, spread misinformation, and destroy education. Because educated people don't like authoritarian leadership.

Like how in the USA, education has been villianized by the right in their propaganda. They cut funding to public education. They remove what books can be found in libraries. They can keep people ignorant of ideas they find threatening to their power structures. Such as socialist and communism ideals. Any book that talks of breaking down the hierarchy is considered a threat.

I completely understand where you are coming from, but you got to realize that that concept of communism has been warped by western propaganda and selective education.

People hungry for power will use what ever ideology appeals to the people to gain power. Look at Donald Trump. He was historically a Democrat from New York uninterested in politics. He ran as a Democrat the first time but made no headlines. He switched parties and started talking pro-christian rhetoric. He is very obvious no Christian.

You see it with "Protect the children" anti-abortion groups. Who have no interest in actually protecting children. Groups that target trans people with the same stance have no interest in actually protecting children. Groups who are say they want to stamp out pedophilia use it to target privacy laws.

And you have groups like Nazis and Lenist who used socialism and communism as a means to an end. Those groups used those movements to consolidate power and wealth to the 1%, and used violence against others as a way to ensure their continued control, they were neither communist or socialist in practice, only in their speech.

Are you okay?

As Llamapacolypse said, it has it's dark moments. What I wrote above is some of the darkest. It never goes into too much detail when it involves some of the more triggering things. Just a fade to black.

That said it's such an intensely human series. So much love and compassion litered throughout the whole thing.

It's also such a unique experience. Most fantasy books have huge massive reveals that shock and take you by surprise. Malazan has these things. But it also does it in reverse. You'll read something and then a book or two later it changes context entirely, completely blowing your mind.

The Crippled God from Mazalan Book of the Fallen. I should probably spoiler this. And trigger warning.

Zombies aren't real. And will take on any qualities the writer wants. Some people write zombies as brain eating mindless undead. Others are super fast group thinking infected humans. It's all up to your imagination.

Because Mike Johnson isn't in my district or anywhere near it. But I know my representative's voting history, and that's what matters. Local governance is very important.

It's important because it shows exactly what they stand for in legal writing. Yeah it won't pass but it's still good to note.

Who's gonna stop it?
