‘[Gadsby has] long believed that the only way to truly subvert the male gaze is not to have a gaze at all,' the release notes explain. They are now putting that philosophy into practice by leaving their image 'on stage in the theatre’.

Male gaze is when female bodies are visible to male eyes?

Is Islam woke?

"How old is the Earth?" is such a rage bait bullshit question. It has no bearing on policy. It's a free country.

The Bulwark struggling to beat the accusations that they care more about protecting Democrats than being anti-Trump conservatives.

Leftist Op-Ed:
The media insists on asking liberal candidates if Lucky Charms are Magically Delicious, but I struggle to think of a more irrelevant question to our current political moment than this one.

Who cares if Lucky Charms are Magically Delicious? It's an issue that affects, primarily, an entirely non-voting population (kids) and has virtually zero bearing on the most pressing issues of our time.

The media obsession with these gotcha questions is the clearest indication that they are useful idiots for the Republican party. Otherwise, why the ongoing fixation? 


EDITOR'S NOTE: 
At the time of this writing, the Democratic Party mandates that any voter wishing to publicly register as a Democrat must swear a blood oath indicating that they believe in the Magical Deliciousness of Lucky Charms as an immutable, immortal law of the Universe.

The what act?

The what act? 

Basically made the original version illegal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ku_Klux_Klan_Act

[Alpacx]

Whole lot of dismissing r/MTF experiences going on there.

Why do they always say Yikes?

Why do the always say Yikes?

They act like 12 year olds?

It's not an autogynephilic fetish. 

But no we will do zero effort to police our own. 

And if people express disgust with a pre-op MTF jacking off in a women's Planet Fitness bathroom, that's life-endangering transphobia.

But it's not a metaphysical question?

edit: And Florence Ashley is perhaps the epitome of bad faith and using metaphysical questions to engage in sophistry to manipulate political issues. That's why he argues that all children should be put on puberty blockers by default so that they have the "right" to "choose" their gender and that not medically abusing children for the pleasure of adults is unethical denial of human rights.

And we'll support male rapists identifying as woman so they can be placed in women's prisons so they can continue to rape women.

We are the good guys.

"That's a bad faith question!" say the people claiming trans woman are biologically female.

[HaughtyFrank]

"That's a bad faith question!" say the people claiming trans woman are biologically female.

I assume they consider it bad faith because their argument is that a trans woman always was a woman and just happened to be wrongly identified as a man for a while. It basically makes any discussion impossible because they consider the discussion itself as wrong

Those dumb doctors unable to tell the difference between a male penis and a female penis! 

All of those poor ladies forced to lives as males until reaching their forties and realising they were women all along. 

Imagine all the straight porn you have to consume to realise you are actually a lesbian.

A number of lines of evidence, such as studies of religious converts and members of conspicuous subcultures, have found a relationship between holding and expressing a strong counter-cultural identity and mental instability. Here we test whether dying your hair an unnatural colour - something which conspicuously expresses non-conformity - is related to mental instability, using a large dataset of online daters (OKCupid dataset, about n=14k used in this study). We find the expected pattern, which was moderate in size (p = -033 to -0.23, depending on controls). This pattern persisted even when controls for age, race, sex, sexual orientation, body type, intelligence, polyamory, vegetarianism, and political beliefs were included.

I just really like this confluence of emoji colors
