Yeah, I’m pretty sure this writer from the early 60s couldn’t see into the future and know that in the 80s Jane would do workout videos.
I totally understand when it was happening to me I just thought it happened to everyone then just told myself I was enjoying it.
What Jane said hits so close to home for me. I am intelligent and as feminist as they come, and logically I know that rape is never the fault of anyone but the rapist. But knowing that logically doesn’t always translate into applying it to yourself, or at least it didn’t for me. I would NEVER blame anyone else for…
Of course its ridiculous and he should be fighting other boys but thats NOT my question.
My outrage is directed at the morons blocking him from competing against boys, but if I was the parent of one of the girls he’s beating, I’d be pretty pissed off because technically he’s got an advantage that my daughter doesn’t have. I agree 100% that it’s a medically necessary for his treatment. The issue is that…
I wrestled for eight years. There’s a huge advantage. Take a 125 lbs boy and put him up against a 125 lbs girl with both having equal skill and the boy wins 90% of the time. The physiological differences are pretty big even if they weigh the same.
Oh don’t get me wrong, I totally agree with everything else you’re saying. But I can see why other parents who have girls that have trained incredibly hard have to compete against someone with a very large advantage.
He clearly should’ve been allowed to compete against other boys.
Correct. But the therapeutic testosterone range for a boy is over 8-10x that of a girl. When body builders and baseball players used steroids, they were at most 3x the average range. Even though it is a therapeutic amount of testosterone, it’s still an incredible advantage.
So I am not a ‘social justice warrior’.
Oh, you are one of them.
Well, yeah. As a voting block black people do not have a very strong voice. Any election lives and dies —for now —on the shoulders of white voters although the Latino vote will become more important over time.
What really bothers me is how strongly you believe this. So strongly that you are angry at me for not seeing what you believe is so obvious.
Well that is just absolute bullshit.
No. This stat gets their attention. It got yours. Quoting it invites discussion and promotes communication. I filter based on response, not skin or gender.
If there is one thing at which white people actually excel, it’s blaming others.
Yep. I’ve run into more than a few who used Pence as their excuse. “Pence can help Trump come to Jesus!”
The be even more specific, it’s white evangelicals. They don’t break down these approval ratings into specific religious categories, but, if you look at the exit polling from the election, it was white evangelicals that supported Trump at the highest rate. 83% of white evangelicals voted for him, which is a higher…
You’re welcome; it’s about time white people got the recognition we deserve.
