Thank you for assuming I only meant white comedy, there is no way I could ever be thinking about Eddie Murphy! /sarcasm I'm talking about all of it. Casual racism is not something only

It's a prejudice since there is no conceivable way a small piece of skin could make an overall difference in quality of sex.

You're confusing what I think is polite/tasteful and what makes a difference.

Wow, you shame someone for having a prejudice about foreskins, and then immediately follow it up with a personal prejudice about foreskins.

Objectively problematic is meaningless if the vast majority of the people in question are not offended.

That's the whole point of this, to shame people, not to effect actual change.

I think the point is more that the people calling it racist don't actually have any relevance to the debate besides feigning moral outrage. In all likelihood those very same people do equally "offensive" things in their personal lives and just don't have anyone to call them out on it.

God, thank you. Don't even dare trying to engage in any discussion with them on Twitter, you will immediately be stormed by a wall of people yelling at you for dismissing their opinions and not shutting up and listening because that changes things.

And those are all examples of bad science, regardless of what area of study.

I agree with most of what you said, and as far as I can read it doesn't differ from what I was saying.

Oh I know its unattractive, so I don't go around telling people their issues are lame, but I can't help my awareness of how cushy all their lives are.

Maybe we are just talking past each other again.

I'm sorry but that sounds identical to what generation after generation has said about the next generation's technology and how it will dehumanize us all. They even said it about the telephone!

Fair point about "bitching" although I use that for men as well. It is a gendered term though, so I'll try to keep that in mind.

Oh my god something people have done since the dawn of art is now being done in a NEW MEDIUM!

No I don't expect us to evolve beyond having negative emotions, it's what you do with them that matters.

Depends on what they are expressing their emotions about.

Actually rationality is independent of emotion.

Depends on what they are expressing their emotions about.

No one is going to deny that, but I have a healthy relationship with my girlfriend mostly because I don't let her complaints get to me.
