Apparently, Lots of Libertarians Don't Think Women are People Either

[paft.livejournal.com]

So The Mercatus, a right-wing think tank, has declared North Dakota -- which recently passed an incredibly restrictive anti-abortion law, one of the free-est of all the fifty states

Once again, we see that when right wing libertarians use the word "liberty," they're using their own extra-special definition of it. As Salon has pointed out reproductive freedom apparently isn't even entered into the calculations,

Women, you see, just don't count.

his overt concern for issues that are a priority for white men

As if this somehow affects white men any more than hispanic men, asian men, black men, and arab men. Does being against white men give you a sense of superiority, like you're doing the right thing?

see this is the issue. I tried to l keep this about gender in general, and somehow this guy thinks we are racist because we do not agree with him 100, only 98%.

I was speaking specifically about the absence of voting rights - which you would have understood if you had bothered to read the whole thread.

Because the absence of taking into account reproductive rights (which the OP mentioned) and voting rights (which I raised as another important concern) together make this ranking a list created by and for white men.

The main opic here is abortion. You get to add a second issue, then pronounce it a list created by and for white men?

So? The list is glaring in its many exclusions.Its perfectly valid to point this out. You don't like, I no care you don't like.

No. The discussion was about abortion. The question regarding males applied to all males. You can't come in, add your own topic, then claim it's a list by and for white males.

Really? Well that's a shame, because I already did. (Maybe you are mistaking this post for Friday LOLZ). You just don't get it, do you?

I'm thinking he is not the one who doesn't get it. Generally on this forum (unlike, oh, say sf_drama) typing the word "privilege" does not automatically end and win a discussion.
