I do answer questions, all of them, and if I ever miss one, please be kind enough to point it out and I will promptly answer it.

Bigd: “No one is afraid of a question.”

Excellent, then:

Where’s your measurement of “freedom” or “rights” showing that American women have the greatest level of these things?

Don’t miss this post above. I think it’s a doosey and my son was wondering if you have a response.

No one is afraid of a question. You just never answer any. Instead, you cut and paste pablum.

Where’s your measurement of “freedom” or “rights” showing that American women have the greatest level of these things? Let’s see it.

You know a difference between you and I?

I’m not afraid of a question. Ever.

Let’s do a little flashback translation of Bigd’s modern bigotry to an earlier time when conservatives were using this same junk in a slightly different way:

Blacks have 100% of the rights of others… they can drink water but they just need to use a fountain that’s not reserved for whites. We have laws about fountains and those laws are followed.

Blacks have 100% of the rights of others… they can eat, but they must use that little room in the back of the restaurant. We have laws.

Blacks have 100% of the rights of others… they can ride the bus, they just need to ride at the back. We have laws.

Blacks have 100% of the rights of others… they can go to school, they just can’t go to our white schools. We have laws.

Women have 100% of the rights of others… it’s just that they mustn’t be allowed to vote, own land, wear pants, marry a different race, etc.

Etc.

Bigd is just continuing the long tradition of keeping others down, keeping others oppressed for no other reason than pure bigotry. And he is going to lose this battle just as conservatives lost EVERY single one of those battles mentioned above. And they lost those civil rights battles SO BAD and their hateful positions have been now shown to be SO WRONG and morally bankrupt that today, some conservatives even try to get away with pretending we don’t know which side they were on now in these battles.

But that’s laughable.

Why did they lose those battles? The same reason they are going to lose the gays rights battle (and already have).

Two reasons:

1) Because there is no good reason to oppress people just because they are different. No good reason to deny people equal rights. It’s just mean.

2) This is America, and the good guy wins in the end. Always a happy ending. Just watch the movies and see.

Okay, let’s see your evidence.

Updated 2008, Gender Empowerment Index, using five components and only current data, historical considerations not included.

US still comes in 18th.

According to this 2002 chart, the US came in 10th that year (Germany and New Zealand tied). Thus only being beaten by:

# 1 Norway:

# 2 Sweden:

# 3 Denmark:

# 4 Finland:

# 5 Netherlands:

# 6 Canada:

= 7 Germany:

= 7 New Zealand:

# 9 Australia:

# 10 United States:

Gays have 100% the rights of others. We have laws defining marriage and those laws are followed.

But gays have the right to marry a person of the opposite sex.

All American women can vote and they can stand for election (provided they meet the legal requirements).

DAR
You can’t comprehend even when I type it out for you?

–Year women received right to
a) vote
b) stand for election

That doesn’t “deal with” a measurement of rights? Of Freedom?

Okay, the dear wife is watching and she asks… where’s your measurement of “freedom” or “rights” showing that American women have the greatest level of these things? Let’s see it.
