Thrown through walls? Is this guy The Incredible Hulk or something?

I’ve been an atheist for 20 years now, and the older I get the more all religions (not just the cult-y ones) seem very fetishistic to me.

WORD. Meanwhile my friend who has African-American heritage gets told she’s “not Black,” presumably because her skin color isn’t dark enough...and people look sideways at me when I tell them I’m mixed-race or assume I’m one more white girl claiming heritage that’s not mine...and my friends, or my mother for that…

It’s not a zero sum game. This woman has black children. The homeless are criminalized and subject to severe violence (on top of being HOMELESS), double that for black and brown homeless people. I’m a queer black woman who has been homeless, and I can say Rachel Dolezal is wrong, and still not believe she and her…

I can’t get behind arguments like this because literally every single adult on the planet has lied, and been caught lying, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t trust anything anyone says, ever. We need to be especially careful about disbelieving marginalized people and victim blaming, because people will find any…

This. Plus there have been murderers, rapists, the people who helped create the 2008 recession and defrauded Americans of billions, shitty politicians and far, far worse people who are doing just fine and not in nearly the dire straights that she is. Don’t get me wrong, what she was terrible and uncalled for and tone…

Some people literally have no experience trying to get a minimum-wage job and having a hard time. They like to attack other people for being sheltered or naive.

Because he wanted to wrestle. He wants to compete. He would much, much, rather compete against boys, but if he’s told it’s either wrestle against girls or don’t wrestle, I don’t think it’s a crazy choice.

It’s a tough question. On one hand, they did try to get him in the men’s league but were denied due to the school statewide standard of gender identity via birth certificate only.

In some states, you have males competing against females in team or individual sports because of the lack of a boys’ team. Here in Mass., we see it mostly in field hockey and similar sports.

The ‘we need more babies’ stuff always makes me feel uncomfortable. Who gets swayed by this? Childfree people get hounded enough lol I swear spite feuls me sometimes, and I doubt anyone waiting to have children because of economic reasons would see a sex break as the big deciding factor that changes their mind.

I attended a book discussion some years past, I forgot the name of the book. The thesis was that if women have more choices in when and how they have babies, the birth rates go up in low-birth nations and higher in high-birth nations.

They’re about to face a real socioeconomic crisis, with a massively ageing population on their hands. It’s fascinating how utterly disinterested in sex and family a significant number of the the young people are, including the men.

who’d a thunk it huh? lol

Japan’s been whining about how women refuse to stay home and be baby machines for years. Surprisingly said whining has not inspired said women to be baby machines.

Yup! There’s a reason why there’s an inverse correlation between a population’s fertility rate and the education levels of their women. It’s not because educated, working women have less time/inclination for sex, it’s because women (even in more enlightened places like Sweden) are still the primary care providers…

It’d be more efficient to just masturbate at my desk and pass out for fifty-five minutes. Bonus: I’d save money on gas and it’s environmentally responsible.

Not sure how much the dwindling population has to do with lack of sex....but it’s probably more so related to the availability of birth control, people getting married and being ready to have kids later in life, and the extremely high and increasing cost of having children. An hour-long break in the workday is simply…

I know Sweden in many ways is better than ol’ Blighty and the US but this is just another one of those bizarre European ideas that some weirdo puts out and then gets pulled just as quick when others thankfully point out how terrible it is.
