Yes. Let us move on. The democrats need to enter the post-Hogg era.

I'm somewhat sympathetic to this facist ovulation idea.

When I was but a lad, it was considered by correct-thinkers to be extremely offensive to suggest that a woman's behavior is affected by their cycle. The reason being that it could (and, to be fair, probably was) used to dismiss women's opinions, particularly if they are complaining or upset.

Lately that whole dialogue has turned on its head: I'm so uncontrollably horny when I'm ovulating, I'm so evil and insane when I'm on the rag, I can't be held responsible for my choices or behaviors, I need a man who understands that I'm a psycho under the light of the full moon and that is just Real Women Science.

I can see how it would be frustrating if you lived through both and were on the other side of the debate. But it's not facists turning this pivot...it's mostly women themselves, in my experience.

And, if I put my social analyst hat on, I wonder how much this narrative of "my biological cycle has dramatic, uncontrollable impacts on my psyche that fundamentally change me as a person from moment to moment" is a sort of soft response--maybe not even conscious--to an environment of rapidly multiplying gender nonsense...

I'd say it's more to do with the rapidly multiplying idea that mental health problems like OCD and anxiety and neurodiverse conditions like autism and ADHD are to be worn like medals for the world to see and appreciate.

I mean my real complaint is that she calls it "literally" fascism when at best the explanation provided by all those leftists is that it's metaphorically fascist and in some cases not even fascist but simply right-wing or hierarchical or some other thing.

The spokesperson stated that Judge Braumandl, during the oral justification of the verdict, noted “that he assumes a heightened prison sensitivity for a trans-person, so that pre-trial detention, unlike the usual case, exceptionally served as a mitigating factor in this instance.”

[DavidCroquet]

fuck trans, I'm gonna just start identifying as "prison sensitive".

Anyway, isn't the point of prison that everyone is prison sensitive? i.e. they don't like to be in prison and don't want to go to there?

EDIT: Reading the article, this story is actually even weirder than it sounds. The transwoman here--who trafficked the kids--actually received a harsher sentence than the actual billionaire abuser. 5 years is crazy light for a crime of this nature, and saying Arbend is "prison sensitive" is insane, but the billionaire who was literally raping these kids only got 4 years???

Isn't the billionaire like 80? Probably another "heightened prison sensitivity" sentence. America is the only country in the west that sentences sex crimes appropriately .

Like seriously, how are they persecuted at all, let alone one of the most persecuted on the planet?

Really, what causes that?

The American Christians I’ve met living around Tokyo held onto their religion. They’re pretty liberal. I have at times seen Mormons doing the full on Mormon thing. But it’d be like encountering Westboro types.

Jesus guys, I made one little typo in my 'Kill The Bore' request @grok, you didn't have to make such a big deal out of it

In a way, making cities diverse ends up making them all feel the same.

Peak reddit moment when the people at  r/skeptic swallow the TRAs' narrative hook, line and sinker and ban or downvote into oblivion all the "skeptics".

Not 24 hours since posting this some Mormons picked me out of a crowd to preach about something or other. In truth all I know about Mormons is the dress style, soaking, golden tablets, and Mitt Romney. I’m so used to NOI guys pulling this maneuver I instinctively told them “alhamdulillah“ as I walked away.

Some journalists still stuck on the idea that cancel culture is actually great and that the real crime was speaking out against it.

The spreadsheet of Harper signatories who haven't spoken out against Trump also appears to be pretty poorly researched. Like including dead people

The more marginalized groups you can say you are a part of, the higher your rank in the Oppression Olympics.

I'm sure the ogre in a dress would have a perfect life if it weren't for colonialism.

After a certain point, I just gotta question if it's a psyop or this is a real person.

What are the statistics on the possibility of all of the trans people also being legitimately disabled?

Especially considering you're not allowed to say that being trans is a direct result of their obvious mental illnesses...
