A Nice Milestone in Palestine

For the first time, a Palestinian municipality has a female mayor. Because she is a devout Muslim and a Leftist, she was able to get support from a range of Fatah opponents. I'm sure I'd have plenty of disagreements with her actual policies, but it's a nice step forward for feminism in a culture that isn't known for it.

Honey, after posting that monstrosity from 1/22 (“why guys shouldn’t f*** below their attractiveness”) I highly suggest you avoid the topic of feminism.

If you have any criticisms that address the content of the post -- or the Craigs List post I cited -- I'd be happy to hear them.

So far, the only negative feedback I've gotten is just name-calling and that I overlooked the issue of "taste".

Yeah, my phrasing wasn't tactful or respectful, but I think the basic premise stands, in terms of how 95% of men and women approach sex. Hot girls won't fuck ugly guys, but hot guys will fuck ugly girls, and an imbalance results. Reality can be crude like that.

No more comments! Either someone has violated Godwin's Law, I'm tired of the discussion or, most likely, the ten-week window has closed. You can, however, contact me through email.
