So, in case you missed the absolutely scintillating debate on Tuesday, I stumbled across a pretty genius summary of the whole fiasco.

Also, the answers to that

AHHHHHHH I knew those dammit! I just...didn't know them enough to comment hahahhaha. No wonder all but one was familiar.

Yeesh, second-wave feminism. Good luck with that!

[spiderstars]

I'm pretty sure when you post the answers to your meme I'll be having a similar d'oh moment.

It's just ... silly? Because they're basically like "yeah, women and more emotional and intuitive, and that's better than men!" It's a total instance of "what the fuck" because okay, I may be damn emotional, but I'm about as intuitive as a rock and my preferred method is hard logic. Does that mean I should have a penis?

[tommyrotter]

Hahahahha I bet you will. Should I do that now?

Yeah. Kinda defeats the whole "make everyone equal" if you're saying one is inherently better than the other. :I

Why is that icon so stupidly adorable?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I officially want this person's autograph.

Who wrote "Rappaccini's Daughter"/what nationality was the person? I hate to say it, but naming someone Rappaccini really isn't the best thing for them. Unless it's a normal name where they're from.

Nathaniel Hawthorne wrote it and it's set in Italy. Is there something wrong with the name "Rappaccini"?

[aeirol]

Italy, that explains. There's nothing wrong with it, except for the fact it reminds me of two English words that I would hate for someone to name their child: rapper, and rapist/raper. And yeah, those Tom Raper RV signs lining the road in Ohio just make me wince and wonder exactly why the PR department though it was a good idea to name the business after himself.

Ah, yes. The brand of feminism that involves taking everything that was already wrong with gender relations and just flipping it around. My favorite. (What bothers me most about it, though, isn't the inherent hypocrisy but the fact that it reinforces the whole "we are a monolith" mindset that is usually responsible for discrimination in the first place. It's not rejecting the "we all have the same inherent traits/characteristics/thinking styles" idea, it's appropriating it and tweaking it a bit to say that we're all predisposed to be *awesome* in exactly the same way.)

The Debate in 15 Minutes thing is fantastic. "We're like the Bella Swan of nations!" (...my friends.)

(Inevitable Code Gayass reference: you know Tom Brokaw would have sold his soul to the devil for the ability to geass the candidates into observing the time limits.)

Lelouch Moderates The Presidential Debate, now with 55% more fabulous style.

Pity I do not have an appropriately fabulous icon.

[ashlultum]

Lelouch would probably just order them to kill themselves about halfway through the debate. (Or, alternately: "Mao! McCain! Never speak again!")
