No offence intended, I could of course be wrong, but it's more plausible to me that you're being dishonest and partisan and cynically using the moral ...
The charade doesn't work @"NO4A2". You've been doing this for years and neither we (edit: Ok, maybe some of us do) nor you believe you would fail that...
Yes, the quiz is silly, but so is pretending to be against corruption when the only thing you are actually against is the Bidens as evidenced by the f...

Putin is weakened but what he needed most was time. Now he's got that, I presume he'll try to shore things up and pretend whatever deal he signed neve...
I take your point. In practice, everything comes into play somehow. Ideologically, however, the focus in modern consumer societies is on the accrual o...
Ok, let's not argue about the definition for now and just examine this. Suppose a form of social organization results in 100% male representation in p...
=What I said. You can just read the wiki article if you like. This is not esoteric knowledge. Recognising reality can be inconvenient, but that doesn'...
Again... Sorry, but can you or someone else reference the definition of patriarchy you're using that requires it to be a "global conspiracy against wo...
Yes, there are reasons to think that, but this has nothing to do with what we should choose as the best form of society. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wi...
Don't know what the relevance of this is. But you can make your point more directly if you like. I'm simply trying to figure out from those who don't ...
So, a social system based on competition for status and material resources where men, according to your own analysis, are naturally advantaged and whe...

Cheers. :up: The enjoyment in writing blank verse lies In the little puzzles it brings to our heads We can say the most banal of banalities In ways no...
Why is it moronic though? ''Patriarchy is a system of relationships, beliefs, and values embedded in political, social, and economic systems that stru...
I take your meaning here as to suggest Poetry now be the preferred form We should respond to all that's put to us I choose blank verse as the fairest ...
The reason I wasn't interested in a detailed debate on all those topics was because I only have some rough ideas on them, which I'm working through. O...
Apart from the fact that they are women so they shouldn't have to no matter what size deal it is, there's also e. g. higher risk of abuse, assault etc...
I didn't sign up to this OP to talk about that stuff but... On locker rooms, I don't know. Hadn't honestly thought about it until it came up in this t...
I haven't made any arguments about any of those things. I've only done what you directed us to do in the OP. I've nothing against making all bathrooms...
Of course I don't think you should have a national or local referendum on every issue of social policy, large and small, as sometimes moral leadership...
I'm not in your 99.5% and neither are a huge number of others who find the idea that a simple thing like a trans woman using the woman's lavatory shou...
Approaching the problem what way? What is rigid about it? Asking for evidence of a threat? Defining transphobia the way I have? You're putting forward...
What I said is compatible with helping them become valued member of our communities. But what I've been suggesting has been mostly restricted to the b...

Yes, but there's not always a separate facility and maybe those who are unwilling are so due to misunderstandings concerning safety etc. The women in ...
Whereas your accusations of "wokeness", dogmatic assertions, and strange talk of office chairs is designed to reduce tension? Honestly, I'm confident ...
I don't work in an office and in light of the very nuanced view I gave, your characterization seems a little odd. It should be clear I don't believe i...
Not judicial, but judicious I hope. I gave more context on my opinion because I want to be nuanced. What exactly constitutes transphobia isn't clear c...
Firstly, to give some context, I think society in general is transphobic and many intelligent and genuine people will unknowingly reflect transphobic ...
This seems like a non-sequitur. The purpose of the comparison was simply to make the point that both in a transphobic and racist society, false justif...
Let's take it step by step. We presumably agree that if there is no evidence trans women are more of a danger then cis women in bathrooms then excludi...
Just as part of the "rational basis" for keeping black women out of white women's bathrooms during Jim Crow was the false narrative that black women w...
It's not a rational basis as has been explained. Without evidence to show trans women are more of a threat in bathrooms than cis women, it's simply tr...
