Fantastic bit of "journalism" from The Guardian once again!

    From an idealistic point of view, it's an interesting idea.

    Mars could technically be a "clean slate" civilisation, the chance to create a perfect society. And what would be perfect? A society free from racism, sexism, violence, etc.

    It seems a little much to chastise Musk for hypothetically, in the future, failing to do something. That's ridiculous.

    The readership know a barking mad CiF article when they see one - always read BTL for true enlightenment.

    It's a fairly light-hearted piece OP, hardly worth getting your knickers in a knot over it.

    I did laugh at this in fairness.

    The Guardian really does have a laughable feminist agenda lately.

    Their feminist voices come from the most middle of the middle class in Britain. I have never seen a contribution from different sections of society that reflect ethnicity, class, etc. It's really doing no favours for equality.

    Haha. On the subject of the Sindo I picked up a copy of The Phoenix when back home during the week. They had a great piece about a sham Sindo piece purporting to pull at the heartstrings.

    It was a victim article about two Irish Nationwide employees who got fired for whistleblowing about the bank practices and are now cast aside and destitute.

    It conveniently omitted to mention that the guy was fired for malpractice over loans and happened to be a property developer on the side with a few judgments against him.

    It really is a shameful rag.

    All the more laughable because feminism is wilfully blind to the undeniable biological and psychological fact that all women are fated to share their bodies and minds with men; the ability to have children makes them responsible for humanity.

    It's the same in Ireland. The OUTRAGED and SO ANGRY I CAN'T EVEN people on Twitter, the Irish Times, The Journal are also middle class self-haters.

    Some women seem startled that lots of men like to stare at women's boobs and asses and also tell other men about what they've seen. Very odd.

    I swear to god MRA PC-gone-mad types must generate more clicks for the Guardian tugging themselves into an outraged frenzy than any single other demographic

    I laughed at one of the comments:
