    The current level of feminist progress in the Cameroons is minimal.
    You actually should because it kind of reflects the current problems with new democracy in these days.

    Autismal isn't a word. I would expect a Class A troll like you to know this stuff. Why, these are basics man.

    That doesn't even make sense.

    Senegal has been a democracy for quite some time.

    I'm saying pretty much everywhere doesn't give a shit about women.
    Ya but it's still pretty unstable.

    Yes, all over the world men are thinking: 'my mother/sister/girfriend is a cunt.'

    Ah, so because it's poor and African it must therefore be politically unstable? That's why The Guardian, a fairly respectable broadsheet, described the country as 'an oasis of political stability.'

    Do you have a social life?

    It's good to see that I'm not the only one using this word on the forum.

    I resist, but in some situations it's unavoidable.

    The gender debate has been moved to philosophy.

    Truth is, I don't know. The Kingdom is breaking the Olympic Charter but is it fair to stop people the other athletes going? After all, it wasn't their fault their government forbid women. What ever decision they make is acceptable to me.

    I agree. I don't think it would be fair to the men that were going to compete to not compete, but then again, it's not fair to the women either. Either decision is fine imo.

    Yeah, I think they should be banned. That is pretty disgusting and it is a shame they treat their women like that.
