      Understand, it's somewhat challenging to see it that way when you come from a society that has constantly told you women are superior sense you started school, and you only found out your upbringing was in the minority when you got into college.
      that minority isn't that much of a minority anymore too. Especially in Liberal Western societies.

      +Anun Kash I don't know, dude. My schooling was all learning about white dudes and how awesome they were and how all the things we enjoy today was because of them. It wasn't until I got out of school that I found out women existed in the past and did things, important things, contributing to the society we know today.

      Sol I was talking more in general... Also, does it really matter *how* these women got to power? (it's not like they killed and murdered) The point is that they fought against all odds and made a place for themselves in a world that didn't want them there (in a place of power that is). And unlike so many of the awful people in history that rose to power yet selfishly kept all their wealth to themselves (ex: Emperor Nero, Emperor Crassus, Queen Maria Antionette, some idiot named Trump, etc. etc.), these women used their wealth to help people, contribute to society, and make the world a better place. So what if they had to spread their legs to get there? That shouldn't take away from the great achievements they accomplished.
      Lemme ask you this: If a girl had to spread her legs to make extra money to save her dying mother. Ended up not only saving her mother's life but *also* putting herself through college with the "whore" money and becoming a doctor. Would you say that what she did does not constitute as an accomplishment simply because she had to have sex to get there. Need I remind you that some of the greatest and most benevolent or successful rulers in history have started their lives out as whores and slaves (ex: Empress Theodora of Byzantine). It doesnt' matter how you sacrificed your body in the beginning to get somewhere, it's what you did after you got there.

    Is it just me or is it whenever we make something illegal we only succeed in making it worse? Prohibition comes to mind, where all it did was create a huge underground market for more concentrated alcohol, creating an even _bigger_ problem.

      In their defense in the Civil War, right around the same time, brothels were a major factor in an explosion of STDs and disease, it got so bad they literally had to keep soldiers away from districts or even entire cities. Also while we love to idealize the Madam as a heroic protector they were also just glorified pimps who often used their girls for their own gain.
      Sex is a powerful force, and while it's awesome to have free love prostitution is still risky and costly to those who may not follow the rules.

      Rape is, objectively, the act of sexual intercourse where one, more, or all involved (in the case of someone being forced to rape someone else because of someone's desires) are not consenting to the act of sexual intercourse.

      You completely missed that dude's point. Rape is very difficult to prove. That's what he was saying. We have people saying that if a dude fucks a drunk girl, that's rape...

    If only this was an educational channel instead of a comedy channel
