Rule Britannia and all that

I cannot help noticing that the last few months not only is it fashionable to bash foreigners politically, but now every seems to want to bash FIFA for daring to give the World Cup to Qatar. What is actually wrong with giving Qatar the WC, England have had it once, why should not another country be allowed to stage it.

We don`t live in the Victorian ages no more, when England ruled the world and all that. Even me a senior citizen of the boards know the whole world has moved on somewhat, and multi-culturism is the way forward, and if your want a free movement of finance and business, then a free movement of labour has to be the norm.

Come on fellas embrace the world and stop trying to fight it. We are all humans living for a short time on a planet that has all given us the gift of life. Amen.

That is simply not true ttliv. None of the course work I took had any male superiority nonsense! All it was is what I posted earlier, but maybe cultures are different. All my teachers actually abhored that nonsense as all it does it repulse people from giving the movement a listening ear. Also note that at no point have all feminists really agreed on everything and approaches. There have always been really divergent views during all waves of feminism.

I always put feminism into categories. One that is genuinely concerned about the welfare of women (believe me, women have actually suffered in the hands of the patriachy) and the second one made up of frenzied idiots telling other women we don't have to take this crap anymore and therefore go ahead trying to paint all men in a bad light (regardless of how the situation has changed) and turn their fellow women into manhaters!

OK I don't know how UK academia looks like either as I am from Kenya. Right now we are having a hot debate on social media here about womens' right to wear what they want. Just to show you why feminism has it's place, the debate is centered around how a bunch of scûm completely undressed a woman in the middle of the street because they perceived her as being dressed scantilty!!! My word, I just got angry typing that.

This shirt thing's really ruined my day, the guy was in tears during his apology. Good to see everyone defending him though.

I don't care about random celebrities being abused but this is an intelligent person who is advancing the human race...

That guy probably has more intelligence than every idiot who abused him combined, hopefully the 's forget to eat for a few days and collapse on a busy road
