re: Switzerland: French man convicted of rape for taking condom off

If it can be proven that the man put on the condom and took it off without her knowledge, I'm fine with charging him with rape.
But, how was this proven in court?

re: Hillary: Misogyny cost me the election

No doubt about that, and there was also no doubt an equal number of voters who voted for her simply b/c she IS a woman. So unless you are prepared to say that misandry cost Trump votes you can't claim misogyny cost Hillary any.
Same thing when Obama was the candidate, there were obviously people who said "nope, not voting for a negro" and they didn't care about any other point. That's obvious. But there were also plenty of people who only cared that he was a black guy. That was enough reason to vote for him.
Neither is a logical comparison. Before Obama, we've always had white, male presidents. There has been a systemic marginalization of black folks and women for the majority of the history of our country. Not the same for white guys.
Look, if a normal, stats-quo Republican had been on the ticket, I likely would have voted for that person, or worst case, I'd have abstained for voting. I voted for HRC to vote against Trump, because he is so dangerous. I hate being a HRC defender, but she never said misogyny cost her the election, just that it was one of many factors (many self-inflicted), and she is right.

I watch Fox, CNN and NBC. I read a lot from prominent journalists and analysts from around the globe. I've yet to read any kind of logical end game that is really a win for the US in Syria.

That is a long way from what she really said:

there are so many different crosscurrents and events, and some have greater impact than others. But, it is fair to say…that, certainly, misogyny played a role
Hillary was a very flawed and polarizing candidate. I wish the Dems had run someone better, but you are insane if you don't think some voters are just 100% against a woman president, regardless of party of competency.

I have always been critical of Obama for not following through with some sort of (even if a token) surgical strike after the red line was crossed.
Let's review the red line.....
LINK
The "red line"[edit]
On August 20, 2012, President Barack Obama used the phrase "red line"[27] in reference to the use of chemical weapons in the Syrian civil war, saying, "We have been very clear to the Assad regime, but also to other players on the ground, that a red line for us is we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized. That would change my calculus. That would change my equation."[28][29]
President Obama seeks Congressional approval for intervention[edit]
Following the publication on 30 August of the U.S. Government Assessment of the Syrian Government’s Use of Chemical Weapons on August 21, 2013, President Obama gave a speech in the White House Rose Garden on 31 August in which he announced that he would seek authorization from Congress before using American military forces to intervene in the Syrian civil war.[33][34] In the speech, he announced that he was "prepared to give that order," referring to ordering a strike on Syria.[33] Obama argued that it was necessary to intervene because the recent chemical weapons attack in Syria "risks making a mockery of the global prohibition on the use of chemicals weapons" and that it put U.S. regional allies that share a border with Syria in danger.[35]
Speculation over bill passage[edit]
There was immediate speculation by the New York Times that Obama would fail to get approval from Congress for intervention in Syria as soon as he announced that he would seek such approval.[33] It called it "one of the riskiest gambles of his presidency."[33] On the day it was formally filed, September 6, it was still unclear whether the resolution would pass, with many senators having already announced their opposition.[1]
Deal to remove chemical weapons[edit]
On 10 September 2013, military intervention was averted when the Syrian government accepted a US–Russian negotiated deal to turn over "every single bit" of its chemical weapons stockpiles for destruction and declared its intention to join the Chemical Weapons Convention.[50][51] The bill never received a floor vote.
And don't forget.....

Do you agree that Obama / HRC would have simply drawn another "line in the sand" in Syria and continued another round of golf this week?
No idea what Obama or HRC would have really done, regardless of what they say.
Syria is such a lose-lose predicament, Trump doesn't deserve criticism for this attack, and he wouldn't have deserved criticism if he had done nothing.
The only thing we can definitively say is that this attack is a 180 compared to Trump's talk during the campaign of avoiding any new military activity in the Middle East at all costs.

It's basic economics, government sticking its fingers into corporations instead of allowing them to purely compete with each other gives the consumer fewer choices and higher costs
I don't know what level of economics classes you took, or where you took them, but what you said is absolutely not true.
Going back all the way to Adam Smith, the thought leaders in economics have always acknowledged that certain things (examples: healthcare, national defense, etc.) aren't free market items, and the government should be involved.
Since the truth will be upsetting to you, maybe this will relax you:

There is no GOP. There are moderates Republicans and extremist conservatives, and an unhinged President who isn't ideologically aligned with either group.
