- DEBATE: Has Feminism failed? -

This is a debate style class, so it is not about your opinions. Please check the teams below to see which side you are on. If your name is not there (I wrote this on Saturday afternoon), then I'll try to update the teams on Wednesday or Thursday.

The world experienced feminism in some form or another for over 100 years at this point. But has it been successful? What were its goals, originally, and what are its now, in the modern day? Are these being fulfilled? Are women, as a whole, happier now thanks to feminism? Is society better now, as a whole, thanks to feminism?

- The US and Israel bomb Iran -

Recently, Israel bombed Iran, claiming that they were destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities. The US said that it would take a few weeks to make a decision on how to respond, but ended up bombing Iran as well a few days later. Iran responded by attacking a US base in Qatar, after giving several hours notice in order to evacuate civilians.

What was the purpose of this attack? Did it actually accomplish anything? Is Iran close to developing nuclear weapons? Will there be any long term effects or was this just a meaningless skirmish?
