So what are your thoughts on the age of consent?
Oh so being a male feminist is the only position you will tolerate. Wow more virtue and identity politics. So what is this great injustice being committed against women in North America?

I think there are varying degrees of internet white knighthood, but you would likely know better then me.

I think 16 seems pretty reasonable. I guess it depends on the maturity level person to person. I wouldn't advocate going any lower.

Raises an interesting thought.. Bill Clinton would probably be unelectable in 2016 if those allegations had come out before he was President, or at least it would have been a lot bigger of a deal (it's somewhat worse for Trump because Bill Clinton never verbally advocated sexual assault).

Yet lots of people think Bill Clinton was a great president.

If nothing else it just highlights the craziness that the criteria that a person needs to meet to be a great president and the criteria a person needs to meet to be chosen to be president are so different.

Well, just to start, they seem to be sexually harassed in the workplace, sexually assaulted, and violently assaulted by domestic partners at alarmingly high rates. So there's that...

Yeah he didn't talk about assaulting women, he just did it behind the scenes. What's worse??

Their whole sham of a marriage is one of the biggest loveless business contracts ever witnessed.

By the simplest definition of the words, male feminist is the only tolerable position. But those who disagree usually start by having different definitions.

Just what you implied, you are a male feminist because you have eye balls and empathy. So not being a male feminist, you are implying that somebody is lacking empathy and is turning a blind eye to some unnamed issues that you have yet to bring up.

I dunno other positions are tolerable because this is a free country, but it doesn't make you any less of a laughable person.

Sure, but these issues are in the process of being corrected and awareness has been raised. Are men getting away with committing these acts against women and not being held accountable?

Is there something you would like to propose to take this issue even further? Is what is currently being done not enough?

I lived there, it's the hippiest place in Canada by at least 10 fold to anywhere else. It is loaded with the most left of leftists, after all they did elect the only Green Party MP in history. You should have moved to Northern Alberta if you wanted away from leftists.

Again, refrain from the personal attacks and work on your argument. So I'm a laughable person, because I don't agree with your position? So are you alluding to advocating against free speech now? Wow you are good at this.

Well, the law continues to move forward on these issues but that is only one small part of the equation (in my view). These are complex problems. Ultimately, we need to change our culture. I think that continuing to condemn the views of people like Mr. Trump (rather than dismissing them as "locker room talk") is an important part of that.

I would remind everyone that the Billy Bush recording is not the only evidence of Mr. Trump's views. When asked about his daughter and sexual harassment in the workplace, he remarked that Ivanka was too strong to be sexually harassed and that, if she were, she would find a new job (I hope I'm paraphrasing fairly). That's appalling.

No thanks, way too cold. Hippies are fine, I'm in agreement with many things with them. Big government socialism isn't one of those things, while a nice idea, it isn't practical and doesn't work. Free market all the way.
