What's wrong with racial comparisons? I think it helps to point out the ridiculousness of gender identity ideology. I feel like people are implying racism is worse than misogyny, and i don't agree with that. Women are basically still slaves in many places today.

Good !
Let's say , you've stopped going to the circus . You decided to ".............. have nothing to do with fruitless deeds of.................." You're sitting in your own house , eating snacks and minding your own business . Out of nowhere , in barges 'the clown 🤡' The circus is brought to your house ................ What can you do in that unfortunate event ?
Life taught me this lesson :
Every best decision that has ever brought progress in life came from weighing the SHORT-TERM pain of cutting that person off , versus the LONG-TERM consequences of allowing the circus to continue in your own backyard ........................ And unfortunately , allowing it could mean you have enabling tendencies 😢.
If you can stop going to the circus , what's there to stop you from dealing decisively with 'the clown' that keeps coming to you ?
Setting boundaries is what I'm speaking about .

She had criticism of him dating back to 2006 through, when she made comments about his honesty and transparency. She mentioned some unflattering details about him that were revealed through her friendship to Trump's ex, Marla Maples. Throughout the years their feud grew, but I think the big deal during the election was the history of the things Trump tweeted about O'donnel. I believe in particular was one nasty tweet in which he compared Mrs. O'donnel to a pig.

Men ARE disadvantaged in society--and this is natural. Sex is just energy investment, and women are more biologically energetic.

1.5 billion years ago, the first sexual organisms evolved. Sex was good because it created more diversity than asexual beings, meaning that the species was better insured against calamity, and could exploit new niches quicker.

The gametes eventually evolved to fit a division of labor model, because this is always more efficient than everyone being a "jack of all trades". Gametes have to do two things: 1) find each other and 2) raise the embryo.

Occasionally some organisms produced smaller gametes, which were inevitably quicker, and some produced larger gametes, which had more energy for the embryo to use. This division of labor was very efficient, thus reproductively fit, and eventually "male" and "female" evolved.

Over time, this strategy simply doubled down. The egg is representative of energy investment, and the sperm energy expenditure. In plants, the females produce seeds, fruits, and sweeter nectar. In fish, the females produce roe. In birds, the females produce the most nutrient-rich eggs on earth, and also parttake in brooding behavior and maternal care. In mammals, the females gestate their babies, produce milk, and maternal care.

The sperm is representative of energy expenditure, and the male's strategy is to do whatever the gently caress is possible to fertilize females. That ranges from outputting trillions of pollen, to sparring with rival bison, to developing more muscle, to accumulating imaginary wealth inside of a JP Morgan computer.

In one lifetime, a woman can have about 50 kids, maximum. A man could potentially have 50,000+, with the record being held by either an Arab sheik or Genghis Khan at only several thousand. The female limit has already been reached, but even the best men only realize a tiny fraction of their reproductive potential.

With such an inequality, there are obvious consequences. Let's say we have a man and a woman, both with a naturally high sex drive. If the man has tons of sex, he will leave a lot of children behind, children that will share his "horny" genes. If the woman has tons of sex, she will have just as many children as a normal woman. Thus, males developed to be hornier.

And because males are hornier, women automatically receive privileges for being women: privileges like not being homeless, having people care about them, not having to get a job, etc.

So yes, men are disadvantaged in society, and that is natural and healthy and good. The only people who complain about it are losers who are denying reality. And yes, women will never reach the top echelons of anything competitive. That is also normal and by design.

e: also, 50 loving kids? I don't think so.

Black people are basically the "men" of race.

Online trans community seems pretty cutthroat tbh.

You will die, you're too physically large. This is a factor that nobody ever thinks to consider, yet it's so obvious and so relevant that it necessitates consideration.

The largest bronze age people (that we have on record) to have ever lived were the Yamnaya Indoeuropeans. The males averaged 5'9" in height while thriving in a resource-rich virtually undegraded (compared to today) environment, and were well adapted to small-scale good economies. Heights from other places are lower, ranging from 5'6" to 5'8" at the max.

Note that 5'9" is below virtually any euro height average outside of south europe. The Yamnaya men were actually GENETICALLY TALLER than modern europeans; if they were alive today they'd probably average 6'2", a physical manifestation of "tall dark and handsome".

This brings us to the fact that the majority of us, even in a best case collapse scenario, will just drop dead. Let's say you escape the gun violence, and the nuclear hotspots, and the barren areas, and find a nice suitable place to fish/hunt/farm (which is already incredibly unlikely). If you're over 5'8", you are almost guaranteed to die.

Wait so is Blaire White a transphobic trans woman?

I have been ignoring Brexit, because the EU is just a provincial subject state of the USG State Department Empire – but Brexit in the age of Trump is turning into an independence movement from that empire.

The Turkish empire turned into the anti Turkish empire, and the Turks, not the provinces of empire, revolted against it. Purported provincial independence movements were a reflection and result of Kemal Atatürk’s central revolt of the Turks against the (anti)Turkish empire, and the ensuing lack of interest and will in imposing unitary government upon the distant provinces. Even before Trump was elected, I remarked on my hopes that he would be a Kemal Atatürk. Maybe he is.

Checking on Brexit, I see loud and strident agitation by the establishment, the mainstream media, and assorted thugs given license to intimidate and engage in violence, against no deal Brexit.

For example the mainstream media tells simultaneously tells Britons that no deal exit is going to ruin British farmers by forcing them to sell food at lower prices, and will also raise food prices in the supermarket, both articles appearing at the same time in the same newspaper. Much as they cover climate change. Any change in climate is supposedly going to be disastrous, though in fact the world has been steadily and rapidly getting greener, more pleasant, and more clement since the little ice age started to ease up two centuries ago. Blaire White is Milo but trans instead of gay. I can see with my own eyes the semidesert that I wandered as a youth is now grassy and forested, with forests of trees considerably younger than myself appearing. What you will doubtless read is polar bear habitat is threatened, and some poisonous desert dwelling lizard’s habitat is threatened. You will not read of new forests appearing, in lands that were formerly so barren that even sheep and goats had a hard time.

In the third world, we have repeatedly seen the nice friendly morally superior soft power of the Cathedral backed by the most terrible of hard power, the most brutal extreme being the recent repeat genocide of Tutsi in the Congo, a rerun of the Rwandan genocide. If Clinton had been re-elected, chances are that the Alawites would have been genocided also.

So, I think no deal Brexit is likely to go through, because the Alawites were not genocided. Soft power works on credit, and without hard power backing it, the bill comes due. The campaign against Brexit is losing its clothes, revealing itself as hostile to Britain and the British. Remainers talk democracy, while refusing an election and tearing the British constitution to shreds. To constitutionally enforce Remain they have to fire the prime minister with a vote of no confidence, and appoint a new prime minister with a vote of confidence, but are unable to do so, because they cannot unite behind one leader. And they cannot unite behind one leader because Clinton is not in a position to let them know who their leader is, so they are reduced to no end of increasingly desperate end runs around the constitution to delay Brexit indefinitely. Their disunity reflects the current Democratic Party conflict between the young, brown, stupid, and communist wing of the Democrats, and the elderly, decrepit, sick, but smart and white wing of the Democrats. They cannot get their act together, because the American Cathedral cannot get its act together. Brexit is coming because Trump has no desire to hold the (anti)American empire together, as Kemal Atatürk had no desire to hold the (anti)Turkish Empire together. Brexit is coming because Trump would not genocide the Alawites in Syria the way that Clinton-Obama genocided Tutsi in the Congo.

Tgirl isn't a porn term get over yourself, it's been used by trans women for decades. I can think of a thousand legitimately derogatory porn terms, but tgirl no.

Today I was visiting my very elderly, religious grandma and i brought up transgenders just because I thought her reaction would be funny. Our conversation basically went like this:

Me: (smirking) Grandma, what do you think about transgender people? Like, you know those men who get surgery to try to become women?

Grandma: (Shaking head) People nowadays are crazy! People need to learn accept with what they have!! They need to learn to be happy with what they have!

I laughed at first because this is a very simplistic take on the transgender problem...but the more I think about it the more I think it actually speaks to the core of the issue.

Transgenders refuse to appreciate the reality of what they are. They are so jealous of the opposite sex that they want to hijack it and twist it around until they can pretend to be part of it. They are so dissatisfied with themselves that they throw almighty tantrums every time they hear women speaking about feminine things that they as men can't experience

Someone in a Facebook group I'm a member of posted a picture of their young daughter and her teacher in their Halloween costumes. The teacher was obviously trans, so that made me wonder. What would you do if you brought your young child to class on the first day of school and the teacher was trans?

Would you have them moved to another class? If that wasn't an option, would you go move them to another school entirely? Personally, I wouldn't be comfortable with that at all and would do whatever necessary to have my child taken out of the class.
