@luenaiya "Your right to your body ends when you bring someone else into it" - Keep whining. Again it's you claiming what is other peoples rights. Again it gets back to you deciding what other people can and can't do with their bodies. The fact is, it's none of your fucking business. The fact you even think you have a right to interfere in other peoples lives in this manner is sickening.

@luenaiya "Please don't use offensive language to articulate your anger" - Always the remark of an utter pillock. You being offended, or deciding what is or is not offensive is entirely your own issue, don't try and pass the buck. Secondly, declaring someone to be angry in the attempt to set yourself on some kind of pathetic moral highground without any merit is pathetic and rather obvious. Again, your whole argument depends on YOUR definition of what YOU call life. Read a book.

@vyctorya Ha. Stop looking for trolls and get on with your life

[luenaiya]

@emmalouwhite No. Please don't put words into my mouth. I don't think women should end another living being just because they couldn't wait to have sex. I sound old-fashioned yes. But I believe good morals still have a place in the world and we'd all be better off with them.

@TheSpankymonkey Please don't use offensive language to articulate your anger, it makes you sound like a boring whiny child. Secondly, I find it ridiculous that people (women?) like you profess always to having a right to do this and that. Well tell me was it your right to destroy another life because you couldn't keep your pants on? Your right to your body ends when you bring someone else into it

feminism is dumb women have it just as good as white men. White men have it worse off than women becasue if a women can sue a company for not hiring them saying like he didn't hire me because im a women. The only right they don't have is the right to be drafted. White men are depicted as ass holes in every situations or a tool.
