how horrible are liberals that they come up with these sort of ideas?

One female journalist has declared that “women-only seating sections on planes” is the way to a safer future in the high skies, avowing that the armrest in commercial passenger seating is a “gender political issue” in the wake of the #MeToo movement.
Last month, columnist Kate Whitehead penned a piece for the South China Morning Posttitled "Manspreading on a plane: In the age of #MeToo, even the armrest is a gender politics issue." Although the story has since been criticized by commenters, she is factually correct in her assertion that sexual assault is indeed on the rise in the high skies.

If all money were made from uranium, then accumulating too much of it in one place would have undesirable consequences.
Aside from that, massively disproportionate accumulation of wealth tends to foster unrest and political instability.

Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. By saying our interests first, who cares about the others, we erase what a nation holds dearest, what gives it life, what makes it great and what is essential: its moral values. I know there are old demons which are coming back to the surface. They are ready to wreak chaos and death. History sometimes threatens to take its sinister course once again.
French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to address the nation this week, as his approval rating hovers just above 20%. The appearance will mark the first time Macron has said anything publicly since the riots began; the president has preferred to leave communication with the crowds to his prime minister, something that's only thrown fuel on the fire.

Women should probably have to ride in a separate area of the plane, maybe behind a curtain and probably should have a separate boarding area. And when they are in the presence of men they should probably wear protective clothing to insulate them from the desires and assaults of men.

University of Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray, 21, won the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night in what was most likely one of the greatest — if not the greatest — moment of his life.
Enter USA Today blogger Scott Gleeson, who covers "social issues through a sports lens."
Shortly after Murray won the Heisman, Gleeson wrote an article highlighting a couple of things that Murray tweeted from when he was 15-years-old:
Enter USA Today blogger Scott Gleeson, who covers "social issues through a sports lens."
Shortly after Murray won the Heisman, Gleeson wrote an article highlighting a couple of things that Murray tweeted from when he was 15-years-old:
But the Oklahoma quarterback's memorable night also helped resurface social media's memory of several homophobic tweets more than six years old.
When Murray was 15 years old, he tweeted at his friends (via his since-verified Twitter account) using an anti-gay slur to defame them.
Gleeson embarrassingly included this line in his piece:The Oklahoma athletics department did not immediately respond to an inquiry by USA TODAY Sports regarding the tweets late Saturday night.
Gleeson thought that OU's athletic department was going to respond to him late on Saturday night as they were celebrating one of their athletes winning the Heisman Trophy.
Murray apologized for his tweets, writing: "I apologize for the tweets that have come to light tonight from when I was 14 and 15. I used a poor choice of word that doesn’t reflect who I am or what I believe. I did not intend to single out any individual or group."I apologize for the tweets that have come to light tonight from when I was 14 and 15. I used a poor choice of word that doesn’t reflect who I am or what I believe. I did not intend to single out any individual or group.
The best part about the absurd USA Today piece was the widespread scorn, mockery, and backlash it invoked on social media. Here are some of the highlights (Warning: some of the tweets contain profanity):
