Nuh uh, I’m not “reducing” anything. Human behavior is unbelievably complex and dependent on a host of environmental, genetic, cultural, etc. factors. You were the one referring to “female beauty” and “male attraction” as artificial creations; that’s reduction.
I totally agree that it’s fair to critique those things; my complaint here is that it’s not happening here. This isn’t a nuanced discussion, but rather a blanket philosophical argument based on a few charts. Also I disagree that attraction is an artificial creation; there is certainly some social conditioning but…

“I don’t want to come off as a shrill, humorless, PC-obsessed deconstructivist, so I’m going to try and sound like I’ve thought deeply about the issue and actually have a nuanced view and reluctantly came to the conclusion that there is something wrong here.”

“Why do men’s ideal preferences matter so much anyway?”
They all know. They’ve always known.

Historically honorifics have usually explicitly connotated social inequality, and it is wildly optimistic of you to think that it has been completely extracted. When you insist on honorifics for yourself or others outside very proscribed situations (“Dr.” in a hospital, or “Your Honor” in a courtroom) you are…
Right now most people think they were idiots, but a sizeable percentage think it was justified. If they give in they lose most of that second group, but don’t gain much from the first.
The story itself kind of contradicts the headline by implying that the bill was a way to let conservatives blow off steam and avoid a government shutdown. But it is a bit inartfully written, so who knows.
If Rebbe Schneerson does show up, then yes, he is the messiah, because he died 21 years ago.
My grandmother lied so much about her age throughout her life that at the end nobody knew how old she was.
“Do you like being called by your first name by adults you don’t know?”
“My heart goes out to everyone this affects.”
Right, but I’m saying Jeb seems to be implying that “keeping us safe” meant no terrorist attacks.
