Are you saying that women have a right to use the bathroom without biological men in the room?
May 10, 2025 at 14:47
Right. As far as I can tell it's not a matter of rights. It's just up to the community's sentiments.

When did humans first ask about what's real? It requires the idea of falseness, the ability to totalize, and some cultural conflict to insert as the c...

You're trying to sign your own death warrant. :confused:

Hollywood has gone to crap.
May 09, 2025 at 21:50
That doesn't cash out as a right, though.
May 09, 2025 at 18:02
The right to pee without any biological males around?
May 09, 2025 at 16:35
like a virus?

Do they have a right to use the women's changing rooms?

Alexander the Great was gay

Civil rights.

I finished ND with a newfound appreciation for Adorno. I really like this guy on a personal level, and I think his philosophy addressed issues that hi...

One could also argue that whoever owns the toilet should decide. If it's a public toilet, it belongs to the tax payers, so let them vote and decide ho...

What we were discussing is basic Hegel.
May 08, 2025 at 07:37
You'd need to spend some time contemplating Hegel. Do thought experiments where you delete (from existence) one pole of an opposition. Notice what hap...
May 08, 2025 at 02:34
This is incorrect, but I'm not interested in debating it.
May 08, 2025 at 02:10
No. This is just dialectics. Being and Nothing are two sides of the same coin, which Hegel identifies as Becoming. Being and Nothing seem to disappear...

Hegel's teleology has deep roots in Indo-european culture. Christianity has threads of it running through its whole history. Unrevised Marxism is basi...

The Grand Canyon is cool. Very touristy though.
May 07, 2025 at 20:24
We're crazy as fuck.
May 07, 2025 at 20:02
Huh. We're more woke than you guys, and I'm in a red state. Although, I have a feeling our medium and max security prisons are more violent than yours...
May 07, 2025 at 19:47
I'm not either. I'm glad they have an interdisciplinary team to make the decisions instead of the local mob.
May 07, 2025 at 19:27
You can contact your state legislature if you're concerned.
May 07, 2025 at 16:46
Ok :up:
May 07, 2025 at 16:24
No.

Because in Godzilla vs. Tokyo, Godzilla doesn't have a scratch on him when the coercive control, rape, and severe physical abuse started.
May 07, 2025 at 16:11
In my state each trans criminal is evaluated by an interdisciplinary team which decides housing based on safety and "other concerns." A trans-woman ch...
May 07, 2025 at 12:00
True. But men are more likely to engage in coercive control and stalking. Men are more likely to engage in sexual violence. Women sustain more injurie...
May 07, 2025 at 11:41
True. The evidence in the article I cited shows that men usually start it.
May 07, 2025 at 11:09
In my community, it can't be both. Defensive violence is not abuse.
May 07, 2025 at 04:02
May 07, 2025 at 03:36
But if you killed someone, that's going to be kind of difficult.
May 06, 2025 at 22:00
You're saying he was an ontological anti-realist. Did he see understanding as a continuously evolving thing that swings between oppositions?
May 06, 2025 at 21:57
Like with a gift card?
May 06, 2025 at 19:38
Yes. My point was that rare cases of ambiguity don't render the whole topic of biological sex ambiguous. It usually isn't difficult to determine. Have...
May 06, 2025 at 19:35
In any scene full of people, you can note the ways people are trying to exert control: expressing anger, asking for pity. Even apologizing can be a to...
May 06, 2025 at 16:47
Adorno was preoccupied with the 'thing-in-itself' problem via Kant. I think that's similar to the interaction problem? He thought the problem originat...
May 06, 2025 at 15:06
I didn't realize that. Thanks. I agree. :up:
May 06, 2025 at 02:04
:up:
May 06, 2025 at 01:04
That sounds reasonable.
May 06, 2025 at 00:51
But we know Plato grooved on the dialectics, so would he have really gotten mired in what Adorno calls idealism?
May 06, 2025 at 00:17
True. What's your opinion on pronouns? Do you know anyone who goes by "they"?
May 05, 2025 at 23:29
I know you're tri-sexual. You'll try anything. :grin:
May 05, 2025 at 21:20
Why is it bonkers?
May 05, 2025 at 20:43
I work in an emergency department, so I'm present at deliveries. :grin:
May 05, 2025 at 16:19
Do they? :lol:
May 05, 2025 at 13:13
Adorno agreed with Lukacs that the perspective you're describing is embedded in human consciousness, and its origin is in the concept of exchange valu...

One YouTube summation said that Family Guy and South Park have both expressed their condemnation of Disney's pandering. If The Simpsons does as well, ...

There's no way to control that.
