Morrissey’s stance on animal rights is pretty bonkers too. He recently had a tirade over a proposal in Australia for a cull of the country’s booming feral cat population, likening it to - in his words -“killing a million Cecil the Lions”
Sure, feral cats and Cecil the Lion are technically of the same species and are…

“Uh, they have the same beef with Kosher meat.”

While there may be some hypocrisy in his stance the fact that the UK Muslim population is ten times the size of the Jewish population might also have something to do with it.

If you think there’s any policy change that’s going to prevent radical Islam from hating the west, you’re being childish.

Right, because there has always been peace in the Middle east/southeast Asia long before we got involved over there....

I have a gun in my house. I have no intention of shooting anyone with it. However, in the event that I do, I want the bullet to go right where I was aiming it.

Everybody brings up their stock performance like they have some kind of argument.  Just swap the heads, intake, carb, and you’re back in business.

Can we just get rid of gender divisions in competition? Let everyone compete against each other in all sports regardless of what you are or were born as. As long as you are a humon athlete is that not what matters? Tell me why I’m a moron, because this is the best solution I’ve come up with.

If the distinction between male and female has no real bearing on athletic performance, then why bother making it? Instead of having separate male and female sports, why not consolidate them all into one? With rare exception, school administrators would love the cost savings. It’s a win for everyone. Why not do it?

Thanks for explaining to me why 2+2=5.  Anyone who disagrees with your viewpoint is clearly a dangerous bigot.  Feeling icky clearly supersedes facts, custom, and common sense as a determining factor in addressing this complex issue.

if women being “weak and small and not competitive” (when elite women are compared to elite men (no best woman vs worst male arguments plz))was only a social narrative and not real then we should be able to have co ed sports across the board, then trans ppl would be a non issue. unfortunately it seems that biological…

The mental calisthenics required to write - and believe - this article are quite impressive.  Proof that human beings can rationalize nearly any argument, no matter how absurd.

“What does gender really have to do with strength?”

BECAUSE HIS GENETIC ADVANTAGES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE NATURE OF THE COMPETITION CATEGORY ITSELF OH MY GOD THE MICHAEL PHELPS ANALOGY IS SO FREAKING STUPID AND WRONG AND I AM SO TIRED OF PEOPLE GIVING IT LIKE THEY ARE HIGH-MINDED WHEN IT IS THE LOWEST OF THE LOW-BROW ANALOGY THAT DOES NOT ACTUALLY WORK AT ALL.

She adds that “a woman can be a woman and still not be permitted to participate in women’s sports.”

She has XY chromosomes according to Hogshead-Makar. This is an INCREDIBLY important detail that all the Deadspin writers intentionally omit. That, along with the highly elevated T levels should pretty much end the debate.

But but he never stopped to think about whether he SHOULD do it!

I’d actually like to see both of them, and Ewan McGregor on Ride, with Norman Reedus. 

Ewan McGreggor stands in the corner crying.
