He was discussing a need for more people of color or black actors/actresses in UK dramas and bemoaning that the rise of the Period Piece was whitewashing British entertainment media though, right? In the context I think he just made a Blunderberg Mumblesnatch.

Here’s some fun with racial terms.

I say it all.

At the most it was a day later, but there were many who called him out. Being around posh white Brits i am always surprised when they learn from their mistakes.

Me too. Technically all people have a color. I guess it is a way to beat around the bush and not say “non-white people”.

I’ve always felt that “people of color” seems like an odd term.

He did also immediately apologise. I don’t like him, but he did realise his mistake.

They aren’t forcing her to alter her biology. They’re saying that if she wants to race against people with lower testosterone she has to lower them. No one would complain if she raced against men.

I’m sorry.

I really don’t know how to answer that question. In one way it’s unfair for semanya not to be able to do something she loves but at the same time it’s unfair for all the other female athletes with XX chromosomes. Semanya even has internal testes making this even more complex.

Not really. She’s intersex. She’s not fighting her body to feminize it by taking hormones, but she’s not supplementing her body either through doping. She just is existing as herself. It’s tricky as fuck. There’s a reason men and women have separate categories for racing, and unfortunately there isn’t an in between or…

But by that logic, why doesn’t she compete against men? If she doesn’t fit into the sex binary, and her hormones levels are closer to that of a man, surely that would make more sense? She wouldn’t need to alter her natural testosterone levels at all.

Fuck making a podium. Women would never get to play.

A boy could be kept away from porn all his young life, but then be taught from a bible that women are meant to be subservient to men.
Respecting only women who don’t do porn is also a form of shaming the women who are proud of doing it.
Respect is more than just the images we see.

Yeah. We can be raised with fairy tales as children and still learn to face reality. Pretty much the same thing

Yeah, an 11 year old is a child. If they get pornography that’s a bad thing, because the product intended for adults; same can be said of booze, pot, cars, or any other vice we acknowledge are meant to be enjoyed exclusively by adults. Children aren’t “raised on porn,” in healthy environments and measures should be…

I'm guessing your solution is to ban it entirely?

I don’t think anyone is advocating showing pornography to children.

Or blaming sex for rape, its an issue of consent.

What was done to her was beyond unforgivable. But it wasn’t the porn’s fault; it was solely the fault of the evil waste of life who abducted her. Blaming porn is like blaming video games for Columbine.
