> The #1 difference I notice between people I talk to who identify as the "left" or the "right" is whether America is an inclusive or exclusive "club". Gender/race war that radical "left" promote, has nothing to do with "inclusivity".

Okay, I'll bite. I don't actually know what you're talking about. I haven't experienced either a gender or a racial war, or the promotion of it. But I want to take this "personal". When have you, personally, been the victim of a gender / race war? (My hunch is that you haven't, but that you see the promotion of one, because it sells.) (Towards my points - the #1 difference is not the only difference, and there are dickheads everywhere)

  I like your logic. "You know, I have never been a victim of a murder, therefore murders don't happen". When a company publicly announces "we're affirmative action company", I understand it as they openly exercise racism and/or sexism against me. And trust me, as a divorced guy, I've experienced institutionalized sexism A LOT.

      Divorces in a nutshell: wives take everything (children, house, money), husbands start life from scratch.

    My logic is "I have not experienced this therefore you cannot rely on me having experienced it to understand what you're saying". Sorry if that wasn't clear; I can see how it got muddied.

    So, why do you attribute the institutionalized sexism of divorce proceedings to what the "radical left promotes"?
    - ar15saveslives 10y ago
      Because they promote institutionalized sexism in general: in family laws, in workspaces ("affirmative action"), they bully innocent people ("shirt gate"), they bring that stupid gender war into deeply technical areas (".bro is bad, because it's not gender-neutral"), that's why.
