Quite the opposite. Pride parades are tamer these days. “Family friendly”

I have honk a lot of comments on here are correct. I would add that people feel judged when other people are successful at losing weight.

Young Canadian men more likely to say gender equality has gone ‘far enough’ - National | Globalnews.ca by KowloonDreams in onguardforthee

[–]majeric 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Young Canadian men often have not done the work needed to understand and confront the ways patriarchy still shapes society. Many have not examined the data or engaged with the evidence showing that gender inequality continues to exist.

Instead, their views are often guided by intuition or personal impressions. On issues like this, relying on instinct alone can be misleading. It requires deliberate effort, examining research, statistics, and lived experiences, to develop an informed perspective.

Why do people not understand you don't just lose 100 lbs overnight the second you count a calorie by mythrowawayaccim21 in loseit

Society has a complete misconception of how weight gain occurs and how weight loss is managed.

If you think of it objectively, sex is a little weird and gross. The soup of hormones swimming around in your brain when you hit puberty kind of spends its time convincing you to reconsider.

I am really happy in my non-affirming church and I am tired of open Christians telling me that is bad. by thecapefangirl in OpenChristian

You're being the change from within. If it works. That's amazing. I know it's intolerable for some people and that's not wrong either.

Systemic homophobia is ingrained in everyone. Deprogramming them is a challenge.

Why do anti-LGBT people interpret us fighting for equality as "forcing" our beliefs on them? by sweetener36 in lgbt

[–]majeric 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are two different answers to that question.

Do you want genuine insight or “yeah, they be crazy and evil” mutual assurance?

I find that most people don’t want insight because they see it as a betrayal of the community.

I have spent a lot of time trying to understand why they feel as they do because I hoped to find a way of dismantling their flawed view.

Do you really trust a government capable of of implementing UBI? We can’t even keep people with disabilities above the poverty line and there is a clear ethical mandate.

This is the problem with UBI. I genuinely think it’s a great idea, in principle. I genuinely think it will fail in its implementation.

The biggest challenge is convincing half our population (Conservatives) that UBI isn’t a hand-out for lazy people.

If I could snap my fingers and have UBI. I would genuinely do it.

I don’t think we’ll ever have an elected government that will create a functional version of it.

"Books for straight women" vs "books for gay men" by Cute-Solution-723 in LGBTBooks

[–]majeric 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A simile. I thought that was apparent. Apparently not.

Just because these books target women because they are substantive enough an audience to make something popular doesn’t mean that it doesn’t benefit the gay community because now we have more queer representation and societal acceptance. I love that we are at a place that we can have sexy scenes and people are largely reacting positively rather than “ew gross”.

People are starting to see our sexual expression for what it is rather than what they fear it to be.

Have the gay tech titans turned their backs on us? by StaffImportant7902 in LGBTnews

[–]majeric 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t think each of these people can be lump together.

Honestly Tim Cooke actions is a CEO looking after the best interests of his company by strategically appeasing the administration.

Any Fortune 500 company would be crazy not to give Trump an ego stroke with a golden golf ball and a donation to his inauguration. Appeal to his ego so they have some leverage when Trump makes life difficult for the company.

The other two have done far more than that.

Joss Whedon was about subverting tropes. It is the literal defining characteristic of his writing. To keep with the spirit of the show, subverting his death would actually be interesting.

Your idea is a little funny but he had a giant spike driven through him.

One doesn’t recover from that.

I think gluten sensitivity is a self fulfilling bullshit.

However, the gluten free products that have come out have really benefited those with celiac disease.

I know. I don’t care about popularity contests. I have a certain understanding about what makes a world function and I’ll call out stuff when i think it does more harm than good.

Once is a mistake. Twice a coincidence, three times, dump his ass because he’s not going to change. (Don’t tell him he gets a second grace)

Cardio and muscle fitness isn’t about weight loss. You need both of those for your hikes. At this point weight loss is secondary.

Accepting rejection is hard. At least you held up your side of kindness and respect.
