  • I'm guessing either 1) it's one more thing for conservative assholes to judge her for, or 2) they think a woman's identity is tied to her ability to breed, so once she has kids she is no longer a "woman" and become a "mom."

  • I feel like most things conservatives want can easily be explained by their consistent desire to harm women.

  • My god, dude. I told you that I am not fucking interested in engaging with you and you just. will. not. stop. I'm not going to suddenly start engaging with you now that you pretend to want to actually have a discussion. That ship sailed several comments ago.

    When someone repeatedly tells you they're not interested in talking to you, and you keep trying to start an argument, you are a troll. You want to argue so fucking bad that you just can't stop trying. You are a fucking troll.

    Go start your argument with someone who gives a shit.

  • I keep telling you I'm not interested in having this conversation with you, and you keep replying and trying to pick a fight.

    That's how everyone reading this knows you're a troll.

  • Keep on going like I didn't twice already say I'm not interested in engaging in trollish pedantry.

  • I made no argument. There's nothing to source.

    You're trying to start a kindergarten-level fight and I'm not interested in engaging in that kind of behavior. I'm here for discussion, not pedantry.

    Go waste someone else's time with your trolling.

  • Jesus Christ what a level of pedantry is this... I'm not engaging with this kind of bullshit, so go ahead and regard it as "a failure on my side."

    Fucking trolls wasting everyone's time and poisoning every discussion...

  • What source are you looking for? That comfort women refers to women forced into sexual slavery for the Japanese military during the first half of the 20th century? That's just the definition of the word. I'm not sure what you're asking for.

  • Sex workers are not comfort women. What's the confusion?

  • Sure, as long as you're not concerned about using 4 words where 2 will do.

  • Here in Japan, the term comfort women is used for the exact same reason it is used in English and around the world: it clearly and unequivocally describes the people being it is used to describe.

    It's not a weasel word used to avoid talking about the truth. It's just the word that people use to talk about a specific group of victims. It's a useful term that quickly gets us to the core issue, rather than starting at an extremely vague term and requiring clarifying language every time we talk about it. It's just basic communication.

  • I literally explained how using your term actually obfuscates the facts more than using the term comfort women. Also, the article describes what the term means, so the claim that obfuscation is going on is really bizarre.

  • This kind of pedantry doesn't add to the conversation, it takes away from it. "South Korea orders Japan to compensate sex slaves" is a genuinely worse article title than the given one, and contains far less information than referring to them as "comfort women."

    Yes, these people were sex slaves. The reason the term "comfort women" is helpful is because these are very specific sex slaves from a specific time, a specific place, and under specific circumstances. South Korea doesn't want Japan to compensate sex slaves, South Korea wants Japan to compensate these sex slaves.

  • They only seem to push for the presidency

    This is the key indicator and red flag that they are a clown party that isn't serious about politics. They're in it for the attention and the money.

  • Both of those sound great. How does she plan on accomplishing those with our deadlocked legislature?

  • I see. So Putin sat down at her table, uninvited, didn't introduce himself, she didn't comment on it, then he, Michael Flynn, and all the others finished their sandwiches and left Jill Stein in peace to eat her lunch alone.

    I can see how that absolves her. But man, what a shitty thing to happen to someone when they just want to enjoy their soup and crackers in peace. With this one little social faux pas, Putin made millions of people across the country believe she was his stooge.

    When she becomes president, what do you think she is going to do to retaliate against Putin for fucking her image so bad?

  • I wonder if the whole red state/blue state discourse would disappear if we just got rid of the fucking Electoral College...
