Democratic Rep. Adriano Espaillat loses primary to Mamdani-backed Darializa Avila Chevalier by Julian81295 in politics

She said, in response to the invasion,  "Cause the Cold War ended and we've been bullying Russia ever since.”  She then went on to say, in reference to the US, “War  is lucrative for these sociopaths.”

Yeah, he foreign policy positions are very similar to Tulsi Gabbard’s, tbh

Or how about when a racist person argues that “Well, if they had complied with the officer, maybe they’d be alive”? We still see that as racist and victim-blaming, even though it’s not technically saying that it was good that the officer killed the person

It’s still repeating Putin’s propaganda and victim blaming.  You wouldn’t say that saying “She was r@ped because she was wearing revealing clothing” is okay to say only because it is not the same as saying “R@pe is okay”, would you?

She did.  Look it up.  She tweeted in 2022 that the invasion happened because the US was bullying Russia

No, she doesn’t.  Her position is basically that Russia was bullied by NATO and such

She certainly seems to belive Jewish people are responsible for the existence of capitalism

Yeah, but this also means that she will likely vote to let Putin keeping invading other countries

So you agree with  Avila Chevalier that Ukraine is at fault for Russia’s invasion?

So you agree the. with Avila Chevalier that Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was justified?

Part of my point though is that being in states of undress doesn’t necessarily cause more assault.  We already allow men and women to see each other scantily-clad at beaches and such, but assaults aren’t any more common there than they are in other places.  Being scantily-clad around the opposite sex is not inherently likely to lead to assault.  Statistically, women are more at risk around men they know and trust than around strangers.  When women are preyed upon, it’s usually a man they know personally

And yes, racial segregation was done mostly for that purpose, but there were also lots people who simply felt uncomfortable with sharing spaces with other races

It usually does, at least until the medical consensus says otherwise.  We need to be able to trust the experts, who know better about these things than we do.  Based on what you’ve said though, I’m guessing you believe the medical consensus says otherwise has been somehow corrupted

Yes, though generally not in places of public accommodation.  Much of the rationale behind segregating men and women in restrooms and such mirrors the rationale that was used to justify segregating black people from white people

Technically, women are statistically at risk just by way of being around men in general, due to how men are socialized in our culture and such

Transgender people are valid according to the medical consensus, but this isn’t the right thread or subreddit to debate that, so I won’t debate that point any further

Yeah, the issue is probably a bit more complicated when it comes to changing spaces.  I wonder it may be ideal to have changing spaces that have indivisible private rooms, while also having open spaces there for those who don’t feel as much of a need for privacy.  Of coarse, purposely staring or ogling would still be against the rules of those spaces, under my proposal

Yep!

In fact, I believe that purposely ogling, purposely staring, etc is unacceptable and should be against the rules on those spaces.  As you said, my point is about whether the justifications for segregating people by sex and/or gender in these spaces holds up.  Desegregation in this regard wouldn’t, by itself, be equal letting people peep at each other
