PR, I'm not sure you're aware of this but people's moral foundations vary. My grandfather had some pretty horrible ideas about what he should be allowed to do to his family.

The only serious reason to ban human-animal hybrids is because humans will try to have sex with them. You know it will happen eventually.

Actually, the almost-certain near-success failures are a pretty good reason.

Abortion isn't really even about feminism or any of that crap. It's effectively about answering the question of whether a fetus is a person and entitled to the basic human rights.

If the answer to that question is yes, then abortion is murder. If the answer to that question is no, then abortion is simply a medical procedure like any other.

Now honestly, I don't presume to answer that question, but right now the world is crowded as it is, and I would think it a bad thing to bring a child into a family that doesn't love it, so I'm pro-choice. As evil as it sounds, we can totally afford to live in a world with one less baby eating up resources.

I really don't have time to share my thoughts on the subject, but

this might be relevant to a serious discussion of feminism and gender roles.

I don't know if that counts though. All accounts I have heard about Swedish men point to them being more femme than American woman. (Then again, I live in an area where females tend to be loud, hulking mountain women who tend to solve gender issues by knocking men the fuck out.)

Edit: Really though now that I think about it, it seems to be working slightly. I see lots of women in supervisory/management positions despite being in one of the most conservative areas of the country.

I'd live there.
