• Why are We Back-Peddling on Racial Color-Blindness?
    Poor 'straight white males' always (at least since the 15th century CE) the long suffering victims of reverse discrimination, political repression & economic exploitation. :cry: :roll: :shade:180 Proof

    it is not "reverse discrimination" it is discrimination weather it is on a gay trans black woman or a cis straight white man, and i can cite several cases of literal discriminations against white people and against men that have arose in recent years (late 1990's and forward) because of extreme feminism and social justice warriors, who can do some good but because of how extreme they go they cause more harm than good.
    let's start with the easy stuff because I'm lazy, a woman just claiming that a man raped her, even with no evidence can and will ruin his career and in many cases stop him from getting a new one. And on the flip side of that coin a woman can rape a minor, get pregnant and then sue the minor for child support, it is also stated that "forcing a man to penetrate" does not count as rape and a woman can often get away with having sex with a minor. Moving on past just societal outlooks to actual discrimination, if a man commits a burglary in a western country he is liable to face DOUBLE the time a woman convicted of the same crime is. men can also be denied paternity leave, even if they are a single father, women are 7* more likely to gain custody of a child in a civil court case, even if the mother is proven to be a threat to the children, men have to sign up for a draft just to get their driver's license, men are 90% less likely to get welfare than women and men make up 70% of the homeless population. all of these are not "reverse discrimination".
    while minorities and women face discrimination, that does not cancel out the discrimination of everyone else. We should work towards equality, not towards superiority.
  • Why are We Back-Peddling on Racial Color-Blindness?
    I cannot understand it. Judging someone by the content of her character and not the color of her skin never once involves remaining ignorant of racism, or denying anyone’s experience or history. It never once involves literal color-blindness. It’s only about affirming another as an individual, without the need of dubious racial classifications.NOS4A2

    I 100% agree with you, but the super social justice warriors think that just being white makes you racist, just being male makes you sexist,sometimes even just being straight makes you homophobic and just being cis makes you transphobic. They are wrong, they also beleive that not treating minorities of any kind like special little snowflakes you are (insert minority here)phobic, and a s three minorities, no just treat me like a normal person, thanks.
  • Views on the transgender movement
    okay, so I see your point but

    mu·ti·late
    /ˈmyo͞odlˌāt/
    Learn to pronounce
    verb
    inflict a violent and disfiguring injury on.

    so what I draw from this is that for something to be mutilated it would have to be a violent injury and

    vi·o·lent
    /ˈvī(ə)lənt/
    Learn to pronounce
    adjective
    using or involving physical force intended to hurt, damage, or kill someone or something.

    I draw that for something to be mutilated, it has to be done with malice intent and gender reassignment is no done in an aggressive or threatening

    I don't understand the double negative distributed over that clause. Do you mean that:

    (1) You don't believe that sex reassignment surgery is not mutilation; leaving open the possibility that you do believe that it is mutilation and the possibility that you have no standing at all on the matter.
    (2) You do believe it is mutilation.
    (3) You believe it is not mutilation.

    I am sorry for being unclear in what I wrote, I will try to be more clear in the future by actually following basic grammar rules and checking what I write before commenting it,I meant that it is not mutilation
  • Views on the transgender movement
    okay I would like to correct you on a few things, with a degree of experience myself in the subject, keep in mind however that I do not speak for everyone and everyone has a different experience. For me, my transition was not about gender but rather about changing my physical sex to female, and I also publically changed my gender to fit. Pre-transition i was not uncomfortable in just public places, I was more than uncomfortable in my own skin, I felt like I was wrong for existing and even now bathrooms are a problem. I also think that you are wrong about the bathroom thing because post-transition you end up with very manly men, and you want them to go to the women's restroom? And what about the opposite, would you want women going into the mens room, look we just want to live our lives.
    I may be biased but I do not believe that hormone treatment and sex reassignment surgery is not mutilation and is not sketchy either; to get these things I had to talk to several licensed medical professionals and psychiatrist that specialized in the field I actually felt MORE safe there than I did and do with normal doctors. Okay so about the not being able to switch genders, I'm just going to disagree with you and state that this makes me very angry and not make any further comments. and we are not trying to reinforce the idea of gender we just want to feel more comfortable in our skins.
  • Native Americans as true Christians?
    I would say that the native americans were less christian, despite following *most* christian morals more closely than the christians, because of what and how they worshipped. I do not believe that values cause religion nor does religion cause values the native americans were just kind to strangers.
  • Why We Can't solve Global Warming
    the goal, for me at least, is not to solve global warming though I do intend to do just that I think it is more realistic to aim to solve it with the intent to slow it down. To make my point more clear i do believe that global warming is impossible to solve within the time we have without causing an even bigger crisis, global economic collapse, but I do want to strive to solve it in the hopes that it can be slowed down, starting with making factories greener and incentivising making factories greener. the next step would be a slow conversion to renewable energy as well as research to make it more efficient. As i have said before, I know it is a lost cause to try to solve global warming but the problem is big enough that just trying may help to slow it down, and minimise damage.
  • Jesus was a Jew. Why do some Christians and Muslims hate Jews?
    well christians and muslims likely hate jews fo the same reason they hate each other and the LGBTQ+ because of basic prejudice, they are different so they are less than you. I've also noticed that it isn't hate so much as it is they disregard jews as if they aren't important. please note that every claim i've made here is a generalization so it doesn't describe everyone but I believe it to be true for the most part.
