What are your thoughts on the events at Berkeley? Do you take a side, if so whose and why? If not, why?

Dunno what you mean by your second sentence in first paragraph. Me neither (men/women/etc). Though I do dislike humans at times, but that's non-gender specific, so eh.

Hah, I've seen worse. Where a black daughter writes a post online to her father, massively disrespects him, blames him for not talking about race, and acts as a horrible human being. Pretty sure it was this one: http://bluestockingsmag.com/2015/02/23/an-open-letter-to-the-white-fathers-of-black-daughters/

Or shit like this in general: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3670918/White-babies-display-signs-racism-Elite-New-York-school-tells-white-kids-ashamed-privilege-segregates-children-race.html

As for criminals, I think men and women are different in a lot of ways. Can't say I know much about it when it comes to those, but I've read about a bunch of women/serial killers as a hobby, and some suggestions - that especially in the past - women were more likely to get away with it, because people wouldn't be as likely to suspect them. I don't know how accurate that is, though. And a list of about 1000 female serial killers.

"There’s a pretty obvious pattern here: all the female “dictators” listed above gained power through family connections." Which is the key thing, for me.

Kind of like most presidents in the world being male throughout the history.

Regarding prejudices, would you say the exact same thing if it came to muslims? Seriously though; I just saw a guy argue that all white men oppress women, and some being 'good' doesn't change that, and they should still be called out. So I said sure, just because some muslims are good it doesn't change the fact that in over 10 Islamic countries, you can get a death penalty if you're gay, or (which I'm adding now) that there are terrorists going around willing to kill for their religion.

Or, another take; what about black people?

"When the race of the offender was known, 53.3 percent were Black or African American, 44.0 percent were White, and 2.7 percent were of other races. The race was unknown for 4,787 offenders." From 2015 FBI stats. Let's keep in mind white population - 63% vs 13% black population.

My point here is; sure, no one can regulate your or mine thoughts, so if you want to/can't help being prejudiced, even slightly, it is what it is, as long they don't deliberately harm someone because of it/has impact on others. Let's not forget though that those that commit such crimes are minority.
