> [@crucible](#): > > white women (not all, of course, just moreso than minorities) rely on their husband for status. If the husband is a racist, misogynistic sob, the wife will probably also be so inclined. Education fixes that. **Being in a culture where men are often no more than sperm donors** tends to toughen up women and broaden their POV. At one time, women membership in the KKK was in the millions. Emphasis mine. Can I ask which “culture” you’re referring to here? ---

> [@mhendo](#): > > Emphasis mine. > > Can I ask which “culture” you’re referring to here? The culture that has come to realize that many young men in their communities are unwilling husbands and fathers, and dealing with them, taking care of them in all ways is a complete waste of time that can be spent on caring for their children and earning a living. There is no racial test for this situation. It happens across the board in communities where jobs for men are scarce, drinking and drugs are an escape from bleak reality. Those men often mature over time and even, sometimes contribute something, but women are very often left on their own to deal with parenthood. The attitude grows in those communities that men are just a waste of space in a home, more trouble than they are worth. ---

I nearly died of laughter this morning. **I often stated, “One way or the other, Mexico is going to pay for the Wall.” This has never changed.

Other than the idiocy, which speaks for itself, is he threatening Cohen’s family in that last part?: - “I never directed Michael Cohen to break the law. He was a lawyer and he is supposed to know the law. It is called “advice of counsel,” and a lawyer has great liability if a mistake is made. That is why they get paid. Despite that many campaign finance lawyers have strongly… …stated that I did nothing wrong with respect to campaign finance laws, if they even apply, because this was not campaign finance. Cohen was guilty on many charges unrelated to me, but he plead to two campaign charges which were not criminal and of which he probably was not… …guilty even on a civil basis. Those charges were just agreed to by him in order to embarrass the president and get a much reduced prison sentence, which he did-including the fact that his family was temporarily let off the hook. As a lawyer, Michael has great liability to me!”\* ---

Not gonna read it, but there may be stipulations in his agreement where he agreed to cooperate in return for charges not being brought against family members (wife, brother, etc)? Maybe?
