It wouldn't happen if the guaranteed subsidy to mothers was calculated according to their actual income before conception.

Yes, it was fine. And it's not like the current social regime is not as unjust in other aspects, so it doesn't matter.
Anyway, why are you also bringing up inequality? This entire subject has nothing to do with inequality.

Very obviously the bear vs man meme is about the threat of rape, torture and murder, not about weirdness being icky. The main characteristic of a bear isn't that it's weird, it's that it's a mortal threat. Let's not fool ourselves. The reason the feminist commenter above brought up "weirdness" instead of "attempted rape/murder" is due to his intent of portraying the average woman as living in constant fear of something mundane and widespread and yet horrific (supposedly).

It would though. Not because of the state of war, but because all people of Japanese ancestry under US government, with or without US citizenship, were interned. In contrast, the ethnic operations of the NKVD during the Great Purge did not target nationalities as a whole, with the exception of Koreans. The Soviet forced resettlement of 'traitor' minorities in wartime, however, did.

With regard to the so-called ethnic campaigns I think it's necessary to point out that the ethnic minorities who were targeted (in a loose sense) in the purges all had ethnic homelands of their own which bordered the USSR and were either hostile states, former wartime adversaries like Poland or Finland, or colonized by a hostile state, such as Korea under Japanese rule. While this was never expressed officially, the purges and terror waves targeted individuals with any ties abroad, no matter how insignificant, because the regime accused foreign governments of secretly plotting to overthrow the Soviet system with the assistance of recruited internal wreckers, spies, traitors, terrorists etc. It is for this reason that Korean, Latvian, Polish etc. minorities were hugely overrepresented among the victims of state terror, not because the regime wanted to stick it to non-Russians as such.

You're both right. At the end, this is what all this eventually boils down to.
Huh? So you're saying that unattractive women aren't at risk of rape??
