I am against animal agriculture for the same reason I am against sexism, racism, ableism, classism and homophobia.

The circumstances of a creatures birth does not dictate what it is "meant for", every one deserves to live happy, healthily and with dignity, but some simply want to live.

  • It literally is about prounons. It's super shitty to dismiss another's identity because you found it troublesome to respect the correct way to address them.

  • Uhm. Hey, I know you are well meaning and I'm only saying this to inform, not to call out, shame or attack.

    But most trans people deeply dislike what you're doing, it's called degendering and it's not an appropriate or respectful way to refer to us.

    Detransphobia was found to be rooted in cisnormativity and transnormativity, together with socio-politically-located anti-transgender stereotypes related to the process and the outcomes of detransitioning. Detransphobia compounds gender minority stressors and social exclusion in those who shift or reject their past transgender identity through the process of detransition.

    I understand you are worried about saying the wrong thing, but this is a way to deny trans people their identity but talking around it. It's extremely noticeable and as someone who has attended more than a few trans support groups, it's dehumanizing and upsetting. Just as non-binary folk use they/them, binary trans folk use she and him. We have one correct way to refer to us, and apart from sentance where you are referring to a group, "they" is not a safe one size fits all.

    Again, I say this respectfully in effort to inform. You seem well intending, but I implore you to reconsider.

  • I mean. Okay? Maybe? But that's not really the point?

    I'm just trying to address how unrealistic you thought this comic was. But it is a accurate depiction of a regular experince for many women's lives.

    Honestly it seems like you're just trying to "win" the discussion by correcting others. When women talk about the problems they face, it's not helpful for you to go "That doesn't happen".

  • Mine? America. I even live in a very blue "progressive" area. But I have friends in the UK that have similar experinces. Frankly, why would that even matter? This sort of thing happens all over.

  • YES. Literally yes.

    I've been approached by men who say I'm wearing too much makeup and that men don't like that. That I should smile more if I want a boyfriend. That my clothes aren't very flattering and it's unattractive to him.

    Like, for all your talk of "go outside" you don't seem to know what life is like for women outside.

  • The death toll from Israel supporting Americans exponentially dwarfs the number of Americans harmed by MS-13.

  • First off I'm sorry this is happening. It's abuse and not at all okay.

    Hut more to your point, this "friend" , isn't a friend. It's just someone you know. Anyone who makes excuses for your physical harm isn't concerned about your well being. You need to find different people for your support system.

  • thing. It’s only capitalistic when it’s convenient for you libturds. Otherwise, it’s a “scary state run Chinese company"

    🙄

    Okay. Sounds good. You're on a war path against the stereotyped strawman you've set up, so I don't really need to be involved anymore. Carry on. Idc.

  • Huh. What? I am definitely not coming to the defense of capitalism. Just trying to help you understand that it's noy a relevant factor here.

    Your original comment is confused at best. China is communist in many ways but absolutely has a thriving capitalist based economy. The idea that the CCP would be threatened by a "capitalist party" is incoherent and silly.

    You're making some super huge leaps and I'm not sure why.

  • Wait... what?

    Because China and Hong Kong are so staunchly anti-capitalism? 😂

    Super weird take.

  • I think you're misunderstanding, but it's an easy one with the phrasing.

    It's not that women are being inspired by Blue Origin to go into aerospace. Its that this intangible PR stunt of "Inspiration" does little good for women who work/worked for NASA that are being scrubbed away.

  • One more life ruined in ruined serving Trump. No sympathy for Lindell, he went from gullible rube to gleeful collaborator. But I'll never stop being amazed at how many tourched their life in order to "protect" Trump.

  • Racism used to be a problem until Lincoln and MLK fixed it.

  • Both constantly and never. I was born to teen parents, so as far back as I can remember, every other day, my Dad would constantly say "Whatever you do, don't get her pregnant." Even when I was far too young to understand what pregnant or sex was.

    But the closest thing I got to "the talk" was when I was 17 and he randomly barges into the living, throws a pack of condoms at me, says "wrap your schlong" and then keeps walking to his bedroom.

    Later that night I told him that A) I wasn't having sex B) didn't plan on it and C) that I wasn't even sure what to do with a condom or how throwing one at me was helpful. He shrugged "Sorry I don't have ace parenting skills or whatever" and that was the end of it.

    I thought I learned how to have sex by watching porn, but... obviously that wasn't true so I had to be taught everything by partners. Including extremely basic things like what semen, periods or orgasms were.

    Thanks Dad...

  • don't believe that is the case at .08... that's a little buzz.

    And a little buzz is too much to drive with? Respectfully, that is just rearranging titanic deck chairs. Buzzed driving should be illegal too.

    As a society, we have to draw the line somewhere. Personally I am happy the line for driving 2 tons of steel is BEFORE someone feels the affect of alcohol. Driving is dangerous enough as is, buzzed still slows reaction times.

  • It was easier to be a big fish in the pre-internet music pond. I would never said the Beatles are bad, they aren't. But aside from understanding the historical significance, I would never ever put the Beatles on regularly.

    Just as I don't watch B&W films every night. Charlie Chaplin was great, for the time, just simpler than what I actually actually enjoy.

  • While we don't make a habit of it, both of us walk in front of the other when getting out of the shower or getting dressed for the day. It's just a part of life, nothing sexual about it. We've also given various small compliments about each other, generally after one of us gets a tattoo, but we have both discussed than anything about each other genitals is just weird and unwanted. We really are the greatest for each other. 😂

    Having said that, she asked me to post a picture of her breasts a lil while ago, in my post history, but that's the most sexual thing either of us have suggested. And it was just taking a few photos than a movie, not like past GFs that wanted to turn that in to sex.

    Now I'm curious myself, is nudity a hurdle for you? Fully valid and no judgement, just wondering. :)
