So thaumasiotes was sarcastic here > Women getting together is fine. Not once have groups of women ever been known to rebel against the government. I agree with the sarcasm. Women are generally less problematic than men but they rebel when it matters. Another example, Rosa Parks.

Speaking for myself, no, that statement is entirely serious. Women are not now and never have been a direct threat to any government. They don't fight wars. Would Trajan have known this? Of course. Compare your descriptions of suffragettes' terrorist activities with the research on how effective terrorist campaigns are at even getting their favored policies implemented. (And then, of course, ask yourself whether Traj…

Well looks like I'm blind because I find no mention of the national security act in the sources you linked as well. You're trying so hard. Oh well..

It is glad that you accepted. If only more ppl were like you who accepted their incapability while proving others wrong. The source I gave was "Whatsapp admin arrested Modi" If u want to look for those arrested under NSA, the results are one click away. Now don't tell me your hands stopped working as well...

Haha 'one click away', I see nothing that proves your original comment, the burden of proof lay upon you (when the argument was active). That's quite a jump to conclusion too. But whatever helps you sleep at night while accepting your bullshit narrative was openly called out and you made a fool of yourself. Must be hard spreading propaganda on internet forums. Have a good one. You may choose to reply to this comment…

lol I googled "whatsapp admin arrested Modi NSA" And guess which link came first? https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/technology-44925166 Article says > student has spent five months in an Indian jail over a WhatsApp message he says he did not send. > Local reports say the 21-year-old man was charged with sedition because of "objectionable" content, although it is not clear what the message said. I rest my case.

Is this a joke? Half the damn comments on this site are entirely unsubstantiated bullshit and you’re enforcing the rule on THIS comment which doesn’t even make a claim to be substantiated? If you’re claiming it is without substance you’re simply erasing sex, which is OBVIOUSLY A SUBSTANTIVE CONCEPT.

Sure, and the GP was not a substantive comment. It was a generic, off-topic, flamebait tangent. Why flamebait? Because people can't discuss that topic without yelling at each other, and certainly not when the trigger is an information-free one-liner. Speaking of yelling, can you please not use allcaps for emphasis on HN? This is in the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html . By the way, "substa…
