As for discrimination when I went to school it was still appalling. I had the misfortune as being picked out as gay by some foul minded people, indeed I couldn't give a stuff what they thought of me, I was not gay at the time but certainly after the level of discrimination and hate I found in high school towards people deemed gay that I discovered, this made me disgusted and appalled about how most New Zealanders view and treat people who are different. It was no wonder after that I became bisexual and accepted both sexes as being potential mates or companions in my life (even if I tend to favor females), after all its discriminatory not too.

Edit: [meaning homophobes]

Well the truth us that most people are indeed bisexual they just suffer from cultural indoctrination to believe they are not(culture my arch nemesis)

Well its pretty irrational (at least among sentient intelligent beings) to discriminate by race, religion, gender, or sexual alignment. I guess its a far off concept to believe in social and political equality for some people, ironic since they believe in being equal before the law, equal on basis of gender, believe everyone should have a say in government. Yet when push comes to shove many are still bigots one way or another discriminating against people by one or more of the above.

That was uncalled for Dotard. You just lost my respect. I have been reading your other quotes, and this was the straw that broke the camels back for me.

I was reading some parts of this 'No Ma'aam' http://no-maam.blogspot.com/, "Feminism, Socialism, and Communism are one in the same, and Socialist/Communist government is the goal of feminism." - Catharine A. MacKinnon, Toward a Feminist Theory of the State (First Harvard University Press, 1989), p.10" - Fail, they are not the same, its a massive generalization, like claiming everyone on the right is a religious extremist.

"A world where men and women would be equal is easy to visualize, for that precisely is what the Soviet Revolution promised." - Simone de Beauvoir, The Second Sex (New York, Random House, 1952), p.806 - Good he is dead now (at least I hope), another sexist bigot bites the dust.

"Psychological differences between the Sexes ARE NOT a social construct. (Gender, however, is a Feminist Construct)." - Anyone see the contradiction in this sentence? *yawn*

I do not believe it was a mere coincidence that the Suffragette Movement was born at virtually the same moment as the birth of Marxism. (Yes, I know there was "talk" before that, just as there was Socialist-Transcendentalism decades before Marxism)." - Wrong on all counts, there is a good comic poet out there called Aristophanes, he put the concept of gender equality in one of his plays called 'the assembly of women', and that's just one example. You might say the concept of gender equality occured at least a thousand years before socialism or communism existed.
