        I’m not making any claim as to the rationality of the Russian State member. The Duma has some crazies, just like Congress does. They don’t speak for the entire country, though.

          I’ll agree to that partially. Unless the proposal actually passes it’s just the shitty legislating of another shitty government official.

          I just wanted to point out the Russian States’ history with women’s rights; because it’s not like these people gain power in a vacuum.

      If article authors wanted people to understand the truth, they wouldn’t title articles misleadingly.

        In journalism the writers don’t write the heds. That’s an editor’s job. It goes back to the days of print journalism when only the editor would know how many column-inches they would have for a given story on any given page. It’s still industry standard for digital publishing as well.
