It was a very silly ruling. I'm sure the lobby groups intended it to work like this: trans bodybuilder who practices MMA attends domestic abuse counse...

I'm going to arrogantly say very little and assume I've solved all the thread's problems. 1 ) Physical != preceded by an event, the timing of beta dec...

I still like that Teslas have a fart button. That's about it.

Whether they're capable of being harmed, I think, is what Practical Ethics Singer espouses. His discussion of infanticide in the book follows a relate...

To be fair to myself, I wasn't promoting any ideals, I was complaining that ideal havers are full of crap and that people who forsake unrealistic idea...

Don't get me wrong, but didn't you have more than one angle on issues in your head back then too? And it's less the landscape of thought that's differ...

And you can read your old posts! We've been having the same discussions for a decade.

There are great diagrams. https://fleurmach.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/dogon_egg.jpg "The Dogon Egg, and its distribution of intensities"

I imagine you'd hate him.

I believe he was engaged in such a project in his Capitalism and Schizophrenia era. I don't know if he was before that. If you're approaching metaphys...

Domestically - removed the vote from lots of married women. Deporting critics of Israel. Removed the right to due process. Ignored a unanimous supreme...

And that's exactly what happened today isn't it. Hedge funds selling their treasury bonds. It's absolutely wild. The VIX is up to 2008ish levels (50is...

This is just a rant. Basically I think @"180 Proof"'s diagnosed the causes. A freight train of privitization and ineffective, or corrupt, government l...

It's like an invisible COVID is happening.

Yeah I think they'll be rolled out as automated border police, initially, then the communities will shrink. North and South Korea already have this te...

Climate change is going to create increasing immigration pressure to habitable zones that have resource access. There will be a race between genetic e...

Only anecdotal evidence. Almost no one I know is even aware of the law.

Love this one.

Yeah that's fair I was mostly shit testing you to see if you said something racist, sorry. Should've just trusted. Aye. I understand his intentions we...

I think this is an asymmetric burden of evidence. The standards for something being a scientific hypothesis with supporting papers are much higher tha...

Makes sense. Though I find it difficult to argue for this and not also to prohibit climate change denial.

Do you think there's a way to go about disrupting specifically Pakistani grooming gangs? Yep! Yep! Again you can find people that talk the role women ...

Yeah. I think it intersects awfully with racism too. I've heard more speculation about people of colour's sexual deviancy than white blokes. Here in t...

I should've also said, I imagine we'd going to see 90% eye to eye on this. With constructionist/post-structuralist sympathies regarding gender.

I have no idea I'm being an interlocutor for @"javra"

Just some teachers. They get used to me quickly though. I'm sure it's related to what you just said. Ouch. Yes, dealing with that is difficult. Did yo...

What I'm making is the more modest claim, that the feminine parts are strictly feminine and the masculine parts are strictly masculine. If you could t...

Isn't it unavoidable. A thing will have masculine and feminine aspects. Take one of the masculine aspects. Does that masculine aspect have feminine me...

Uh. Are you sure that's not publishing previously published work? Repeatedly? You've read the site rules right?

I tend to just ask them questions and see where they're coming from. Usually stories of personal trauma, or they grew up in the institution they're pr...

I'm glad you're not in the pocket of Big Bum.

I tend to walk up to those people when I see them in the street. They get sick of me.

I meant them in a relatively non-judgemental manner. But I appreciate it didn't come across that way, which I'm sorry for.

There are two aspects of my criticism regarding what you've been saying, I do disagree with what you've written on two levels. The first level is an o...

Thanks for clarification. If I can ask for a bit more, how do you think I have been disagreeing with it? While I know what you've written, I don't kno...

Okay. Can you please recap your position for me, what you believe we're disagreeing about, so that I can better engage with you?

That's a shame. It's a good paper. Gets used in a masculinity studies course in my city's uni. It roughly makes the case that considering masculinity ...

Yes, I think you're asking the wrong question. I've explained my reasons for this.

I suggest you read the linked paper. Obviously murder and rape are evil.

Yes, idiosyncratic. Though rooted in the masculinity studies literature. Connell doesn't use the term "toxic masculinity", to my recollection. She use...

Yes. People with right leaning sympathies tend to prefer Jung, conspiracies and the occult. People with left leaning sympathies use words like toxic m...

Is this your job?

Steve Jobs body pillow fleshbag. Powers combined.

Good.

I don't think that one needs deny that. Sex isn't something you can just define away. If you're looking at it from this constructivist lens, you're go...

I did. Enjoyed it. There was never a satisfying answer to "why" the murder was done though. I'm quite glad of the latter, it would've been very easy t...

Absolutely. I don't want to provide an answer to what constitutes masculinity or femininity, on an essential level. Because I think that entire approa...

Okay!

Can you tell me more about that please? I don't understand what error I've made.

But you've got a list of earth, cold, mountains that you like. Where sushi belongs in the cosmic order is a perfectly cromulent question. I'd put it i...
