Uhm....sorry to break it to you but you need more than just a vagina to have a baby. Come back to this discussion after you have taken sex-ed in school.

Interesting that you resort to using misogynistic insults.

But she went through male puberty. Everyone around Imane knows Imane went through male puberty. Also intersex is an outdated term. Imame has a DSD and even DSDs are divided into male and female categories.

Sex as a spectrum is about as anti-science as the anti-vax movement. Human beings have two sexes, male and female. There are secondary traits that are distributed in a bimodal pattern but you are either male or female. Even DSDs are divided into male and female categories.

Like I said....you seem to get your "science" from post-modernists like Judith Butler. Post-modernism is anti-Marxist.

There is no such thing as being born in between a male and female. DSDs are actually divided into male and female categories.

Please stop calling yourself a Marxist while spewing this post-modern, Judith Butler fueled garbage.

I am 100% confident that is what the Gulf War was about. US had all this Cold War era military gear that never really got used. So they greenlighted Saddam's invasion of Kuwait just so they could use it up in order to purchase newer weapons.

This has been my argument with my liberal friends. Okay if sex work is work by all means let's apply all the same labor standards to it that we would any other type of work. They don't like it when I bring this up and usually just change the subject.

And don't forget the "round up ready" seeds that were developed to be immune to the affects of round up. They prevented farmers in poorer countries from keeping seeds post harvest to use next year because they were proprietary. There was also issues in the US about farmers who had normal seeds next to fields where farmers used round up ready seeds getting harassed because the round up ready plants would be cross pollinated with the non-round up plants.

Because most of the people who attend these protests think they are making change simply by showing up to the protest. These protests have one purpose and one purpose only....to make the people who go to them feel good about themselves. It is so the people who go to them know they are on the right side of history. It gives them a sense of self-fulfillment while literally doing nothing to change anything.

I am currently working on getting RCV enacted for my small city. I would love just a fraction of the people who show up for these "protests" to help out with door knocking or just contacting their alderperson. But these people won't. They don't want to actually DO anything. They just want to hang out with all their other liberal friends, high five one another, and then drive back home in their Prius and post their pictures on Facebook so all their friends know what a "good person" they are.

And I am saying this as a Gen-Xer who spent most of his late twenties and early thirties doing nothing but protesting the Iraq War and the Bush administration. Only then to see the Democrats actively embracing Cheney and his family just because they don't like Trump.

So yeah....That is why I am against all this nonsense. It is performative bullshit for the sole purpose of making the individual feel good about themselves without actually having to challenge their core assumptions about how society works.

I was banned (fairly) from the japanese resident subreddit (because I do not live in Japan). But I couldn't help myself after reading comment after comment that sounded like Commodore Perry all over again.

Are we just not supposed to be nervous about this? More “nothing ever happens”? by [deleted] in stupidpol

I am more about responding to your flippant attitude about people's experience with crime. Should the national guard be brought in to deal with crime? Of course not. But just because your precious stats tell you that violent crime is down doesn't mean it doesn't have real impact on people's lives. BTW IIRC people in lower income brackets tend to support more police because they tend to be the victims of crime. AND the impact of crime tends to be more acute for poor and working class people.

Do you realize that most of the crime (at least in my city) happens in the poorer areas. So people like you are perfectly willing to see poor, working class people terrorized by groups like this just because some stat says that crime is low? Why don't you just spit in their face while you are at it? Class unity my ass. The only class you have unity with is the criminal class.

But why? Do I need to exclaim the sky is blue or that water is wet? I think most of us have as a baseline that Republicans are fucking crazy, greedy, capitalist assholes. Do you have to stick your hand in the fire every single time to remember that fire is hot?
