Dud meyl streep thank harvey weintein in her oscar speech
@imontellano
Humanity's civilization must denounce all countries of religious supremacy and their religious values which egregiously supersede human rights and the civilization rights of humanity.
All of humanity's warfare – mostly due to territorial or holy wars – is fueled by one of the worst realms of humanity's darkness:
violence.
It is long overdue for humanity to transition to an idiosyncrasy of nonviolence and secularity.
Humanity is better than this. Our children deserve better than this. We deserve better than this.
@dbmuir8683
US politicians meddling in the bodily-autonomy of women is a page out of the Taliban's playbook–wish Streep would make a statement on that
@CaptainAmerica_1776
But you all want the same exact same for the people of Gaza
@markmiligy2620
Well, they had their chance. Deployed twice to Afghanistan and they would throw rocks and cheer just like the men would when they would see are blown up vehicles being towed back to the FOB. They want their freedom but remember we spent 20 years killing their husbands,sons,uncles,granpas,brothers etc. They do not want us there and I think there is more important matters for women here in America right now…. Abortion rights
@Myownboss35
Let her go to Afgahanistan to take up the issue about afghan women's rights directly with the taliban
@ccwoodlands1565
You tell ‘em, Meryl!! 💙

Did you know the Chinese secretly put a magnet in every red hat which sucks your brain out?
@NotCoolNancy
Islam hates their women.
Adapt to the ever changing world around you or it'll be some realllllll cold winters.
@Mr.Spanky
This comment section is full of special educated people
@nellyjohnson7316
What does she want? Another American invasion of Afghanistan? Leave their religious beliefs alone. Maybe in a 1,000 years these situations will disappear.
@mchannel1365
How about France ?
This country is promoting their behavior and is going to be a major problem for not only rest of europe but rest of the world as they have access to enormous wealth and technology to create than dependency, plus loxal French aren't producing babies at all or at much lower rate.
This issue must be addressed first than anything else
@FactFuse99
Meryl Streep is actress why they called her on this platform what educational background she carry with herself to be on unsc
@raskinman
Men are endangered by rampant and hegemonic feminism.
@CrazyWhiteBoomer
Stick to making movies, Meryl…
@saleemmahomed5800
Respect to Susan Sarandon and Meryl is a hypocrite. Why she does not talk about the atrocities U.S. carried out in Afghanistan. Maybe she needs to be reminded about Guantanamo Bay.
@JustMe-mn5hk
OMG
@tomhenry897
Yet democrats support it
@IsabelGrauPass
Cats are not slaves to corrupt systems, all animals live in freedom, animals do not sell weapons, nor are there Zombie cats on the streets of Philadelphia
@robbieCar
According to presidential candidate Donald Trump, cats have even less freedom in Ohio.
Let that sink in for a minute.
An intellectual person like Meryl Streep should be the president of the United States.
@IsabelGrauPass
9000 women have been murdered in Gaza, Peace and Freedom, for the women of Palestine, stop selling weapons to Israel America. They should not provoke more Islamophobia, now that there are so many wars, emigrants are also a consequence of wars.
@eliot7189
What is she planning to accomplish? We're not going back in Afghanistan….
@TaylorCrane1312
Stop playing the white savior! You have done enough harm around the world.
@Rogerssteele72
How many times has Meryl Streep been to Afghanistan ? Oh I forgot, she played a character that had been to Afghanistan lol.
@joelonzello4189
Renounce Islam Rejoin Humanity
@TaylorCrane1312
Stop interfering in Afghanistan!
