Basically, the Y chromosome is a biological accident, a mutation. "The male is a biological accident: the y(male) gene is an incomplete x(female) gene, that is, has an incomplete set of chromosomes." The Y chromosome is a mutation acting like a parasite, responsible of the presence of the males individuals in sexed species. Therefore, males are parasites, because with some genetical tweakings they wouldn't be necessary. If tapeworms removes a part of you stomach, making them necessary for you survival, would you stop calling them parasites? No you wouldnt. The Y chromosome itself is vanishing and losing genes with times. That's the biological reason to call males parasite (and completely true scientifically). There is another reason for Solanas: "The male is, by his very nature, a leech, an emotional parasite and, therefore, not ethically entitled to live, as no one has the right to live at someone else's expense."

I love when it's dismissed as "a few bad apples," because people generally forget the point of that saying: namely, that if you don't immediately get rid of the bad apples their corruption will spread and rot all the others.

We do, in fact, stop calling necessary parasites parasites. They're symbiotes.

The way I learned it, symbiosis is any situation where two organisms of different species live close together. Parasitism, where one organism benefits and the other is harmed, is a subset of symbiosis, along with "mutualism" (both organisms benefit) and "commensalism" (one benefits, the other is unaffected). Casual English seems to have evolved so that "symbiotes" specifically means when they live together for mutual benefit, but I think the other way is still correct for formal scientific discussions.

I mean I know its LoB but goddamn it random internet weirdo, chromosomes aren't genes and the Y chromosome contains genes that are not present on the X, those are precisely the genes that determine you are male. Furthermore in women one of the 2 X chromosomes is inactivated, turning into what is called a Barr body, so in the end there is only a single active X chromosome in both men and women. If you're going to try and use science in your wacko beliefs, read up on it first :eng99:

They're self-identified "gamers." They loudly declare that they inhabit a world in which if something happens that they didn't mean, they can just keep doing it over and over until they get their desired result, so the real world should work the same way.

It's a really sad version of Quixotic.

Ive suddenly realized that the "offense is taken, not given" stance is essentially someone trying to use "I didn't kill him, the bullets and the fall killed him" as an actual argument.

Edit: for more thread content. This is a case of real life idiocy being documented on social media...but I know the topic of flag protests have come up from time to time, and this is too good not to share.

Yup. A friend of a friend worked at one of those, and (like most maid cafés) they had a point system. One of the top prizes you could cash in points for was "you get up in front of the whole cafe and a maid slaps you in the face". My friend tried taking me there once, but I politely declined.

This is different from the tsundere café, where the maids are just kind of rude in a "trying to hide the fact that they have a massive crush on you" way.
