Becasue come on, She would not have been promoted to President of teh chapter if she was white.

White women and their health and disease cycles. Why is it always the health food yoga and crystal types that have food allergies and BS diseases like chronic Lyme or this nonsense?

Soft sexism is easy to prove. It just doesn’t establish sex discrimination liability. You need either “quid pro quo”sexual harassment (this for that, sex for a promotion, sex not to be fired), or you need a hostile and pervasive sexual atmosphere. Soft sexism simply does not meet that level of hostility in the eyes of…

TLDR. But I love how people assume sexual preference is this rigid geneic destiny that they were born with, as if some people were born wanting to have sex with corpses or barn animals.

Protective cases are for suckers.

Maybe I'm old, but I used to take women out on dinner dates and develop a little trust and intimacy before trying to put my penis in them.

Why do you think the two theories are mutually exclusive? Social roles and gender norms didn't develop in a vacuum. Our biology may not be outcome determinative, but it certainly influences how social institutions have developed.

Next you're gunna tell me Disney is releasing a movie where all the evil hyenas have ethnic voices.

What facts are facts? That it isn't 100% effective? That is MORE reason to get the damn shot. Holy shit man. Educate yourself.

It's not that you sound like a conspiracy kook, its that you sound ignorant and poorly educated. The fact that it isn't 100% effective is MORE reason to get the shot. Not less. From a personal standpoint as well as a herd immunity standpoint. People still get the flu after getting a flu shot. But it lessens the…

What would Andrea Dworkin say? Catherine MacKinnon?

Going from a 80% chance of not getting infected to near zero on exposure means quite a bit. It is also the reason why it is so important that everyone get vaccinated. The chance of infection goes up exponentially with every near 0% person in the herd.

Sure. It is a line drawing issue that relates to cost and other factors, like having enough donors in the first place. According to the CDC, men who have sex with men are just 2% of the population, but that 2% of the population accounts for 63% of all new HIV infections. It is a simple statistics and cost benefit…

Coward.

Jesus you people are stupid on this site. I mean, I can't believe someone pays you to blog when whatever basic education you received failed so badly on its face. You should ask whatever shitty liberal arts school you graduated from for a refund.

My understanding is that Black and Latina women do not have a statistically significant higher rate of infection than the population at large. So no. Even if they did, it is again just a cost-benefit call. If they had rates that were the same as men who have sex with men - and they don't - then there would be little…

Your reasoning is faulty. If a blood center has a limited amount of money to spend on testing blood - and they do - then, yes, they have a very good reason to continue this practice. If men who have sex with men have a significantly higher rejection rate for their blood donation, then rejecting them outright before…

per dollar spent, you fucking dipshit.

They do with respect to IV drug users. As to Black and Latina women, I don't think that is the case. The rates are higher in Black and Latino communities but that is due almost elusively to the behavior of the gay men within that community, who tend to be poorer, less educated, more stigmatized and less likely to…

What is it that you think this demonstrates? Wapo is of course good enough for me, but I don't think you understand the significance of what you are posting. Anyway, this thread has become tiresome. Gay men have higher STD infection rates than other groups and blood centers don't want to spend more money than they…
