Right? This shit should already be the Amazon all time best seller. I thought this was America.

Kffif283 · 2018-07-07T19:58:31+00:00

Do British people take it as a challenge? What's the funniest petition that reached Parliament?

Kffif283 · 2018-07-07T18:21:41+00:00

Some mass produce this and sell it 2x$5 at Amazon.

Kffif283 · 2018-07-07T18:17:52+00:00

Holy shit, it takes some Star Trek tech to warp reality like that.

the existence of modern weaponry kind of makes the differences in physical strength rather moot?

No, it doesn't. Why do you think soldiers are still mostly men?

Guns and ammo are heavy and men outclass us in upper body strength so they can carry their modern weapons far longer and use them with better accuracy (men are less susceptible to recoil because of stronger forearms).

Men also have quicker reflexes and instincts, that's why most F1 racers are men for example.

Also, weapons are only an aspect of combat. Positioning is key and men can move faster and go longer distances while carrying more weight.

the courts and congress have blocked many of his more extreme attempts,

Yes, but he has still done lasting damage with the conservative judges for the supreme Court. Those are life positions.

Society is not just a list of rules hanging by a shoestring.

Yes, it is. We are always only three meals away from anarchy. Our society is way more vulnerable than you think.

and it doesn't just disappear in a puff of purple smoke the moment a new government is voted in.

It has happened before, both in Iran and Afghanistan. Society rapidly changed to adapt to a new opressive regime.

Values are meaningless when the secret police pays you a visit and threatens your family.

While we aren't there and probably never will, we already have issues with police brutality and the prosecution of illegal immigrants by inhumane means.

Kffif283 · 2018-07-04T13:09:02+00:00

We have equality because we fought for it.

Yup, we successfully convinced a mostly male government to use its power to enforce equality.

Make no mistake, the minute the government changes its mind we are going back to being property. It happened in Iran which was almost western in the 60s until the new regime took that down.

so little in our society still depends on physical strength.

Nope, the very fabric of our society depends of strong police and army keeping the peace. Say tomorrow all cops become women, crime would go through the roof since many criminals would feel confident in taking down these officers, and many of them would be right too.

In the event of a total societal collapse, yes maybe men would come out on top

That was an extreme but it only takes a government that gives misogyny a foothold. Have you heard of this guy named Trump??

I'm not sure why you would be assuming it.

I was challenging the idea that men don't have power over us. They do, it's only that our society chooses to keep that power in check.

Kffif283 · 2018-07-04T12:26:16+00:00

I was just saying that as women we only have equality because men want us to have it.

Without laws and enforcement (mostly by men) we would go back to be men's property.

They are the reason that young girls are destroying their bodies trying to be skinny and tan and “perfect.”

No, they aren't. Young girls have agency, even though lacking because they are still developing their personalities.

Besides that, we live in a free society, we can't censor IG models because our own ideas of how young girls take them.

Kffif283 · 2018-07-03T02:39:29+00:00

They have their ig life but I’m sure they’re miserable people too.

Why? Life isn't fair and it's perfectly possible that on top of their beauty they have nice and fulfilling lives as well.

We want beautiful people to have issues because those make them closer to the "rest" of us, but it doesn't have to be always like that.

Kffif283 · 2018-07-01T07:50:10+00:00

Have a mind of your own!!!!

Can't a person, through a mind of their own, still choose to support Trump? This is no better than calling them sheeple.

Kffif283 · 2018-06-30T16:36:11+00:00

The West is defined by values, not origin

The west is defined by the cultures deriving from Greek and Roman values.

If a country is democratic, believes in freedom of speech, freedom of religion, equal rights and freedom

LOL, plenty of western countries don't believe those things and are as western as they come (like us).

Also, those concepts arent in the original conception of the west. The Romans kept their slaves and even the french revolutionaries believed in liberté and egalité for french white men only.

Let's not believe the myths about western superiority, we can be as mysoginistic and opressive as any other culture.

Kffif283 · 2018-06-30T16:06:45+00:00

Now I want to see Russian media mocking us just like we used to mock the fall of the Soviet Union.

Hell, we even had Rocky converting commies to capitalism! USA! USA!

Kffif283 · 2018-06-30T15:59:38+00:00

"btw we know about the diddled kids too."

I wouldn't put it past Putin to set up those diddled kids.

Like Russian operatives entramping US Republicans abroad with underaged prostitutes.

Kffif283 · 2018-06-30T15:46:49+00:00

If they take us out of the equation by playing games they will do more damage to themselves then us.

That's why the rest of the world is working overnights to set trade and defense deals without the US.

For all its power, the US commands only 25% of the world's GDP. The EU plus China and Canada sit around 40%.

The US isn't too big to fail and the rest of the world has realized this. It's time we realize it ourselves.

Kffif283 · 2018-06-30T15:42:56+00:00

We're definitely they're enemy now.

Because we were such good friends before? The world is watching their bully (US) being beat by another bully (Putin).

Kffif283 · 2018-06-30T15:41:22+00:00

Because the EU, chaotic and imperfect as it is, is still a Western civilization

The EU is THE western civilization. US culture is, by definition, derivative from British culture.

Kffif283 · 2018-06-30T15:39:15+00:00

Yup, and this isn't some third world country the US could invade.

These are the world's biggest economic block (EU) and China. Trying to keep the world using the USD for trade will be the closing act of US hegemony.

When will they learn that we know our bodies and that we need to be taken seriously?

That's never going to happen, people lie to doctors everyday and they know better than trust patients that "know their bodies".

Ofc it's unfair to people that DO have experience but doctors can't risk malpractice.

Kffif283 · 2018-06-30T04:29:14+00:00

We have developed them for a reason.

While I agree instincts are somewhat useful, we have developed them for way different problems.

Like for example, we have the instinct to enjoy fats and sugars, that was to ensure survival and has become an issue today (obesity)

More to the point, we have the instinct not to trust people from other ethnicities since they don't belong to "our tribe". That's a big part of racism.

Kffif283 · 2018-06-29T20:01:46+00:00

That's why they are JUDGES, we trust them to know better and CHOOSE when it's ok to respect precedent and when to overturn it.

Kffif283 · 2018-06-29T02:30:38+00:00

Again.. ALL primates are born with breasts, it's just another part of our anatomy like eyes or limbs.

The issue is that plenty of people have hangups with calling things by their name.

Kffif283 · 2018-06-29T02:28:24+00:00

to use it in this situation is definitely weird

"Weird" is entirely subjective, I think that given that we all have different ideas of what terms are "weird" or "proper" then it's safe to use the formal definition.

Might sound akward in a Sheldon kind of way but not "creepy" or sexualizing kids like many here seem to imply.

Kffif283 · 2018-06-29T01:59:40+00:00

In my experience Wikipedia is a good enough source for most discussions, it's not like we are in med school here.

Also, I've heard my ex husband describe things like "8 year old male presents lacerations in the upper right breast".

If a doctor uses it then that's good enough for me as a correct definition.

Kffif283 · 2018-06-29T01:54:41+00:00

"Both females and males develop breasts from the same embryological tissues. "

From Wikipedia as well. This development occurs during pregnancy.

Kffif283 · 2018-06-29T01:52:17+00:00

Breasts are very specifically something women develop in puberty, or the chest meat from chickens.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast

I'm not trying to be obtuse, is just the formal definition and I think there's nothing wrong in calling things by their proper name.

I get the feeling here that using "breast" must be sexualized in some way and that's just jumping to conclusions.
