hey, i'm not going to say that a 'by any means necessary' approach is unjustifiable. you can certainly think that, and i would sympathize with you to an extent. however, in this case i don't.
once you're born on that soil, you have as much of a say to it as anyone else born on that soil. you can't help where you're born.
oh my. so eager to rally for your team that you assume anyone else that doesn't agree must side with the enemy. you're blind to the truth, my friend.

i'm not going to bother to make a separation between sex and gender because i find that to be just a little bit of hair splitting nonsense.
with that in mind, i think the male and female aspects of human life are integral to what it means to be a human. i study a lot of mythology and i dabble a bit in paleontology and neuroscience. i believe that there are significant differences between the sexes that act like a yin and yang. i do think we are out of balance and that most societies are heavily weighted towards male aspects. furthermore, i think we would really benefit from leaning into the female side of our humanity.
i believe in a lot of things that most of you would consider old-fashioned but are actually rooted in thousands of years of well-documented human behavior. furthermore, i believe in science. i'll punch a guy that hits a girl and i have no shame in saying that.

there's video evidence. apparently more than a half hour of it that many journalists couldn't sit through. this is from reuters.

there are no good guys in this, only innocent civilians and those pushed by injustice to maniacal acts.
