Bad news for the local white farmers, also bad news for the blacks who don't know how to run a farm and want the food previously provided by local white farmers.
Bad news for whites over there in general, with that whole genocide thing going on...

Nah. I only bother with the more sane righties like you, Bella. There's a chance for a level-headed conversation there at the very least. This thread isn't about race anyway.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

Thank you, you're one of the many sane lefties here. I enjoy your posts.

Her song is valid, at the end of the day she has the right to express herself and how she feels however she wants to (short of inciting violence or hatred)
Some people might think it's petty (I'm inclined to think it's slightly petty, although not to a degree where it really bothers me) but she still has the right to say how she feels.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

I'm gunna jump in with my opinion and answer to the poll (I picked the rant away which oh I will lol) before I back read 8 pages.
I know I'm in a good country where being a woman isn't a disadvantage so I'm not going to speak for the countries where there really is oppression for the female gender. But here in the US in every day life I have rarely seen sexism toward women. I've seen it much more toward guys.
The whole don't call me honey is ridiculous to me living in the south. I'm a female and I call everyone sweetie, honey, darlin, etc. I've been called these things as well my whole life by both family members and complete strangers. A lady can say "hey honey can you grab that off the top shelf for me?" To my fiancé with me standing right there and I will think nothing of it. At work the old men call me darlin when they say hello and I don't even notice. I understand people outside the southern American states don't grow up with that like I did but really getting mad over it seems childish.
I have two jobs and in both of them my boss is a female. My mother was in the army and was never told she couldn't do anything. She had been to Panama (in the 80s), Korea, and Iraq all before I graduated high school. Having a family or being female didn't keep her from going to war. I know so many females in high power roles and I've never been paid less than my male coworkers if we were the same level job description.
Women can dress in guys clothing, they can be workaholics, they can stay home with the babies, they can do almost anything now.
Men get less parental rights during a divorce simply for being a man, they can't wear girl stuff without being 'gay', they can't be sensitive or emotional without looking less of a man.
I don't like heels, fake nails, or make up but that's ok. Tony doesn't like football and he gets mocked. I'm not saying that girls don't need equality because we do but we sure as hell don't need to be superior to males because of our gender. You don't get the chivalry and the leave me alone I can do it myself. I personally like being treated nice. I like the door being held open for me but I will also turn around and hold it for the next person behind me regardless of gender. We need equality of BOTH genders not feminism.
All this shit going on and she gets mad over being called honey? Man don't come to Texas cause we as sure as fuck ain't giving up our manners and charm because you want to be an ass.

I agree with Yeaux. On top of it, her lyrics are, "don't call *me*..." not "don't call *women*..."
She seems to be referring to a specific person, so I'm not really sure what the song has to do with feminism.
