    Swedish "Feminist" officials wear headscarves in Iran

    I don't really seem them as mutually exclusive... but even if I did, I'm not sure the value of an empty symbolic gesture that doesn't actually result in any tangible differences is worth pursuing at all costs...

    Swedish "Feminist" officials wear headscarves in Iran

    Okay. Let's assume the government employee overseeing a branch of a government devoted to EU Affairs and Trade were to refuse to wear a headscarf. Now they still haven't discussed Islamic misogyny, or any form of misogyny for that matter, and also they didn't discuss trade. Generally when you...

    Swedish "Feminist" officials wear headscarves in Iran

    I guess. I mean it's possible. Or maybe they take it like they are being antagonized for their religion, instead increasing tensions for no particular aim. How do we exactly know this is the case? Am I to assume their meeting didn't mean anything or had no results?

    Swedish "Feminist" officials wear headscarves in Iran

    Okay, but if the person who you are trying to have diplomatic relations with just says, alright never mind then, we just won't have a meeting (such as Mufti of Palestine did to Le Pen) then you've also neither advanced any "progress" and now also you didn't have the diplomatic relations? What...

    Swedish "Feminist" officials wear headscarves in Iran

    Okay, if we are going to speak of countries with disagreeable criminal structures, and I could certainly name many, including Iran, I'm wondering why to specifically focus on Iran, when the situation is the same in SA (whom we currently helping to overthrow the coup in Yemen). It's true in...

    This Far-Right Tweet About "The Future That Liberals Want" Backfired Into A Huge Meme

    It really is nowadays... especially with the internet.

    This Far-Right Tweet About "The Future That Liberals Want" Backfired Into A Huge Meme

    The gist is that this twitter account (which is affiliated with a subsection of 4chan [hard to explain, but members who learn right do a lot of trolling and mememaking]). Essentially the tweet is saying, "Liberals want this:" Showing a picture of a Trans person sitting next to someone in a full...

    Swedish "Feminist" officials wear headscarves in Iran

    Okay, so the state sponsered misogyny will continue, it just won't be agreed to, and also why bother with diplomacy. Also, the mention of human rights seem sort of extraneous. To a lot of people in the Middle East, depending on their country, etc., their dealings with people who claim to have...

    Swedish "Feminist" officials wear headscarves in Iran

    Generally, I don't expect them to, even if it would be better that they might. I mean, self-righteousness probably doesn't mean much to people who spent good portions of the last century throwing out European imperialists, so I'm not sure what good they think they are doing...

    Problematic authors?

    I guess I just have difficulty to seeing it, because most people I know don't read anyways; the ones that do are still reading a few books a year so, you know, as they have time. I've only been friends with a couple of avid readers... 100+ books a year sort of stuff. I've never personally...

    Swedish "Feminist" officials wear headscarves in Iran

    And thus, the meeting didn't happen. Great diplomatic skills.

    each year many unborn babies are deliberately aborted.

    And God did nothing to stop it? A personal choice, or a question of morality?

    Any Arguments by which to Conclude that Consciousness Is a Product of Brains?

    No, it means I don't believe in free will. I don't know. People who assert its existence claim it entails all sorts of things. I've never seen anyone enumerate a sound deductive argument indicating I should take any of it seriously, so... Correct. Validity is a function of a system of rules...

    Everything's Fine.

    I'm pretty sure the out for that will always been the proof of intention, why might be harder to prove. I also don't really no what kind of intel they are working with in the Faux House Investigative Committees, and in various branches of military/security apparatuses. But I imagine as long as...

    Everything's Fine.

    Problematic authors?

    "It seems as though, especially among socially sensitive younger readers, it's a lot harder to reconcile enjoying a book or author who is problematic." Ignoring the fact that books and ideas, and the preceding vocal narratives have always been controversial and likely always will be, I'd say...
