I don't disagree with anything you said. The way the original poster framed their argument was what I took issue with. She or he basically said, "Trans women are real women because they say the are." No... Things are not true simply because people wish it to be so. Trans women are real women because we're not talking…

I don't preach unless someone else brings it up. It's hard not to want to from this point of view though. I think it's ignorant and ridiculous that people chop part of their baby's genitals off at birth for no reason. It's not medically necessary. People also say it's not attractive to women. Well, some men think…

Why does it bother you that people want to discuss things and what causes those things? Things don't happen in a vacuum. Is it wrong to discuss the roots of something? I didn't see anyone saying the show should be banned.

Nobody is advocating censorship. I would argue that if people don't want feedback, they should never release their creations to the public.

I totally agree. You can enjoy something and realize that it's not perfect. I like Sons of Anarchy, but I know it's insanely unrealistic. I enjoyed The Sopranos, but I thought the rape scene with Dr. Melfi was completely over the top. If you can't shock and horrify the audience without showing pretty much everything…

LOL. I mean that in the true sense of the acronym.

oh, Kanye.

I thought the first season of Oz handled sexual violence very well. We knew was what going on, but it wasn't shoved in our faces.

You just admitted that there's no point to a dress code except as a teachable moment and that there are other ways to teach the lesson. So you think dress codes are as ridiculous as the rest of us.

I mean, they weren't in a tank or anything. I think the worst case scenario is they get freaked it and swim away or eat the baby. This woman was totally delusional. I almost spit out my drink when she finally admitted she hadn't actually helped anyone birth with dolphins.

You need to check your privilege some of us aren't able to apply mascara in a non-sexual way

Yeah, it was the most ridiculous thing ever. Dolphins might be cute, but they're wild animals! I hope someone stops that crazy, deluded woman before she tricks some gullible hippie into thinking she has any real medical training.

I know you said you know they're not the same already, but I just wanted to point out that some people do natural births AT the hospital or at a birthing center with trained professionals.

That's funny you say that because there was an episode of Bullshit a while back where this white, dreaded couple was planning a "dolphin assisted birth". As in, go out in the water with the dolphins and just, uh, give birth. The "midwife" promoting this told them dolphin births are typically really easy. White,…

Wearing a certain uniform isn't a skill. Managing money and yard work are skills. Skills need to be learned. One does not need to learn how to put on a uniform and wear it in public.

My thoughts exactly. I wear whatever I want for my current job, but if I end up with a job where I can't I'm not going to have some kind of epic meltdown.

This argument that kids won't know how to dress appropriately if the school doesn't enforce a dress code is bologna. I didn't know what to wear to my first professional job- so I asked the manager. Guess what? The company outlined what was expected in a manual they gave all new hires! Currently, I have a job that…

Too far

You keep driving home this point and I never disagreed with it. My original post didn't have anything to do with justifying his comments. I was merely commenting on the fact that racism isn't uncommon. That doesn't mean it's acceptable.

Some people are very gullible and easily swindled. To me, the idea of a charismatic person preying on the weak minded is sad. Tons of people buy into religion, why is it so crazy people would buy into this?
