Yes because letting children starve to death plays so well with the voters. Either you are a troll or you need to check your priorities.

That’s delightfully classist.

I’m hoping that it was a joke entirely in ignorance. It’s inexcusable (both the joke and the ignorance), but not particularly surprising among wealthy white people.

Well it’s only a silly idea when your government isn’t actually using it within your lifetime to eradicate your ethnic group (like mine, welcome to Canada!). But seriously, educate yourself because fielding that kind of “silly idea” is insulting and incredibly crass to the people it is actually being used against.…

I’m all about giving ladies IUDs or implants as soon as they want ‘em free of charge. But compulsory sterilization and population control have pretty uniformly been used in the past (and present too!) to further marginalize already disenfranchised groups. So Noooooooope. And here are links because I really think you…

It’s also to prevent future endangerment. Pistorius has a few incidents on record where he could easily have killed or hurt someone with a gun (in a restaurant, shooting out the window while driving, etc.).

They are not mutually exclusive, but I think one’s orders of magnitude more powerful. Talking vs money and all that. Most of your points I do agree with, but your argument that the uglyness of the topic somehow mitigates the kindness and respect that should be in any dialogue? There are always going to be hateful…

When I was younger I was all about the fiery internet rhetoric. But I think I spoke up less on facebook or to casual acquaintances. Now I find that what people say anonymously (on Jezebel, etc.) matters less and the only meaningful changes that I’ve made on the topic of transphobia are the cases where I was…

You’re very judgmental and aggressive to most posters on this thread. Why participate so much when you’re clearly brimming with distaste?

Amsterdammed was crappily awesome. Sint? Maybe not quite as good?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH SINT!!!! (are you dutch or just into really crappy movies?)

Heh, their science could be worse, they could have also brought up evo psych.

See at first I was like you. And wanted to explain why, scientifically, conflating gender and sex and chromosomes is really stupid and cringeworthily inaccurate but in a nice way because maybe OP isn’t actually terrible. But then OP replied to someone’s comment being all “this is based on empirical evidence and…

fuuuuuuuck harper

It’s pretty well known that many products, when marketed to ladies, are marked up quite a bit over gender neutral/male targeted products. So that’s some monies that you might be losing?

Can we never mention that movie ever again?

Abusive parents and weddings are awful. But I think the best thing to do is find someone(s) (sibling, future spouse, bff) who knows the entire story, will get mad as hell for you and will be in your corner every step of the way. Then tell them what specifically is bothering you and how you need them to respond. They…

Lulz to the “slippery slope”. That argument’s never ever failed miserably...

No mercy. :)

Don’t you just sound endearingly pompous.
