Before the U.S. presidential elections of November 2012, the OSCE announced its intention to send electoral observers to Texas and to other U.S. states. This prompted the Attorney General of Texas Greg Abbott to send letters to U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and to the OSCE,[21] threatening to arrest OSCE officials if they should enter electoral premises in Texas and break Texas law.[22] In reply, the U.S. Department of State stated that OSCE observers enjoyed immunities.[23] In the event, no incidents between OSCE and Texas authorities were recorded during the elections.

“This country was founded by a group of slave owners who told us that all men are created equal. To my mind, that is what’s known as being stunningly and embarrassingly full of shit.” - George Carlin
…PolitiFact going through history to fact check this guy was like that time CNN went through history to dig up dirt on Bernie, and all they found were videos of him planting trees, and telling kids that racism is bad.
Emotional Vulnerability Theory
On November 27th, 2020 at 7:43 a.m. I created a theory about whether or not people are capable of emotional vulnerability.
Back in ancient times, women were expected to maintain their household and children. Society demanded that men went to war and hunted for food. From this information, I concluded that being capable of emotional vulnerability depended on your society and their expectations for your sex. An emotionally vulnerable person to me is someone who can feel any emotion (depression, anger, jealousy, etc.) and then communicate that emotion to others without fear of judgment.
Historically, men expected to partake in war and hunting. That made them less capable of emotional vulnerability. The reason being, war and hunting both require one thing: being able to kill. Killing another being demands that you disregard your humanity. To become proficient at killing, an individual disregards any feelings of remorse. From this, it was reasonable that men could not allow themselves to be emotionally vulnerable because experiencing the vulnerability of any kind made them appear weak or incapable. With war, sadness, anger, and remorse were an experience. Since being sad and remorseful were and are considered signs of weakness, men turn and have turned to anger. Being angry meant that you were strong and capable of slaughtering an entire army. Men were strong, hardworking husbands and fathers. Men repressed feelings of sadness and remorse regarding their actions. And so that was what they did.
The emotional vulnerability of women fluctuated throughout history. In some societies, they expected women to be reserved. Due to this standard, women in these societies repressed their emotions. Other women were allowed to express themselves, so they felt anger, sadness, etc. Women expected to tend to children and the household. Women were supposed to be loving mothers and wives. Because of this, women allowed themselves to feel and experience sadness. Being sad was not a sign of weakness, it was another emotion that got felt.
If the roles of the two were reversed, with men being the caretakers and women the providers, history would have unfolded still. Wars. Empires and kingdoms and territories and tribes. Agriculture. Children. Education. Cultural exchange. Science and mathematics. Men would have struggled for their rights like women did and currently are. Sex has nothing to do with anything. Vaginas and penises are only sex organs. Because you are biologically male, you do not have to repress your emotions. Because you are biologically female, you do not have to take care of your household. There was a choice here, and it cannot depend on your biological sex. It should depend on you and what you want to do. Do you want to be emotionally vulnerable? Okay, cool. Do you not want to be emotionally vulnerable? Okay, cool. As long as this was what you wanted, then others should respect your decision.
Aside from societal expectations, there is a multitude of factors that could influence the capability of emotional vulnerability. Some important things to consider are an individual's childhood, mental health, school life, friends, morals, etc. Let me emphasize again how sex is not a contributing factor to someone's emotional capability.
Here’s an articulated version of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s “We Should All Be Feminists”: https://ameforeignpolicy.files.wordpress.com/2018/02/we-should-all-be-feminists.pdf
let’s never forget about what happened on this day…..
Enough blame to go around:
Shaming “Millennials” is the only universally accepted form of victim shaming.
I know you did this presentation a while back and I agree with quite everything you said! However, if you don't mind, I want to add some things.
Susan Reynolds was married three times. The first husband's name was Francis Wright, a young man who was described as "a rake without one decent trait". The two of them had an unknown daughter. The couple didn't get along and, with mutual consent, got divorced.
Later, while visiting with friends, Susan encountered Erasmus Philips, a Scottish merchant. The pair married on September 13th, 1811. It was described as being Susan's happiest marriage by Peter Grotjian, a great friend of Maria Lewis. The couple had one daughter named Josepha Philips. Erasmus died in either 1818 or 1813 from a brain tumor, leaving Susan widowed and Josepha orphaned.
Susan married another young man, however, he broke it off with her rather quickly.
Susan became unmanageable and Josepha was taken care of by Maria Lewis and Joseph Mathew, Maria's third husband. It is unknown to my knowledge what happened to baby girl wright (My nickname for Susan's first daughter).
Quite a tragic history Susan had...
Join the protect Maria Reynolds squad. Stop victimizing Alexander Hamilton.
Because I keep forgetting who is who (although let’s be honest, I mostly look at fancy legs Hamilton whispering dirty jokes into Franklin’s ear while Ben twirls his pimp cane).
Our idea of what terrorism is now has been so shaped by 9/11 that it’s really fascinating to look at it both in a more international perspective and to look at it in earlier periods. One topic I have a research interest in is the wave of far-right terrorism in the US in the 1980′s and 1990′s.
The Order assassinated a Jewish radio host and got into a shootout with feds; the Aryan Resistance Army robbed 22 banks to stockpile weapons and had connections with Timothy McVeigh; The Covenant, The Sword, and the Arm of the Lord set fire to a gay church, a Jewish organization, tried to bomb a gas pipeline, and then a member killed a Jewish shopkeeper and a black cop; WAR got into public brawls with protesters, harassed and in one case killed non-white immigrants, and made strings of bomb threats; the Phineas Priesthood bombed abortion clinics and robbed banks; Eric Robert Rudolph nail bombed abortion clinics and lesbian bars (which the Army of God took credit for) and injured over 100 people by bombing the 1996 Olympics; and on and on. No one remembers any of this. This is all completely forgotten.
