    Ah, yes pre-industrial societies: They are just so, so celebrated today; to hear them being called out on anything sounded shocking.

    It's going to be hard to teach the romance languages at Berkeley.

    VG brought up Thailand. It's a culture that's existed for 700 years, as has Thailand's third gender. Thailand is also the only Southeast Asian nation not to have fallen to the colonial powers.

    Am I saying it's because of the kathoey's? Yes. Yes I am.

    That's "Ropersonce"!

    "Those who identify as trans are able to live public and honest lives in Thailand, something they might not be able to do in other parts of the world. That said, prejudices still exist here, and the country fails to support this community by withholding some very basic human rights." A Brief History of Thailand's Transgender Community

    LOL why probably not?

    Are you like the fish in the story - you must know the story – a fish swims to one end of the bowl and sees a model castle in the tank and says ‘oh a castle, I’ve never seen that before’ it then swims around the bowl and comes back to the same point and says ‘oh a castle, I’ve never seen that before’ and so on.

    I have discussed evolutionary theory with you many times in relation to your Social Darwinist ideas and have had to explain it to you and what it is based on and why in the main it has stopped been applicable to humans – do you not remember – ok so again it’s the line ‘by natural selection’

    Do I have to explain it to you all over again?

    I mean there are many who would like to dictate what is ‘natural’ and’ unnatural’ human behaviour.

    For example you seem to be using the same argument many have used against homosexuality that its ‘unnatural’ – it’s not in human nature – that it doesn’t matter what people might think the primal instinct is to be heterosexual.

    It doesn’t matter that women might think themselves ‘equal’ to men they know (or should know or should be forced to know) that evolution tells them something different - Those primitive gender roles have existed in humanity thousands upon thousands of years longer than the industrial revolution and equality movements. We might have an industrialized society that allow gender roles to be intermingled but primal basic human instincts have been around much longer.

    You even use another argument I’ve heard from homophobes - that a NORMAL women naturally looks for a man because a man can give them protection and provide for them so those women that are attracted to women must be by definition - ABNORMAL.

    It’s why certain types of men cry - she must be a lesbian - when a women rejects them.

    This implies that to you a ‘normal’ women realises they are not equal to men - so it stands to reason that women - such as feminists - that do think they are equal to men must be abnormal freaks that should be looked at with suspicion and be derided and humiliated whenever possible - which you have done on many occasions

    The societies you mentioned also placed a lot of respect on the women. She is "head" of the house in a way that people who worry so much about past gender roles don't like. It's essentially feminism you are consenting to. And It's not like people can not evolve. I mean how sad to think that since someone is born with a vagina that they are not good for anything else.

    The scientific answer to your question. Of course if we think logically a women is small and often pregnant from sex so how can she hunt the wolly mammoth? We need a strong man who is not pregnant. We need the women to care for the species. But man has gone beyond that and man has always known women are smart. It's sort of why they fear them and censor them sexually. A pretty women can make a man do anything especially when she is actually smart. It's this fear that makes people cling to the old school views. Society is more about the mind now not the strength of a hunt. Some jobs do have certain physical requirements that men can perhaps fill much easier. It is just a fact of life. Men are big and women are small. It's the reason why weight classes exist in men's fighting too. It's why often times no matter how good your shot is if you are 5'6 you are not going to play in the NBA where everyone is huge. From a hunt prospective women can not hunt but most jobs are not the NBA or hunting.

    I don't really care what someone wants to called. Women are smart enough to pass the same standards as men in any job you can name. There are are also numerous cases of women inventing things or being successful in a "man's world" throughout history. One could argue women even have it rougher since men like you still doubt and hate everything they do. Of course some women use their gender or looks as an excuse and still get the same things as people who work hard. That's just a shitty part of the working world. Sometimes the boss is an idiot or your coworker an asshole.


    Not sure where you got that idea. If California where its own country it would have an economy bigger that many countries. Red voting states tend to get more goverment aid. Much of that revenue is Hollywood tax and a celebrity elite but the state is so big with many other industries. With that comes some unemployment but that is normal in a free market economy.

    It's also interesting how you assume that society is so dependent on gender pronouns as a whole that an economy can fundamentally collapse over it.

    But it seems to be the right that see this as the priority – its them that finds this guff interesting and keeps bringing it up - because it seems to be that they don’t have any rational political arguments so they run away from those discussions and bring up crap about calling a policeman a police officer like that is the biggest crime in history.

    Because you forgot that all animals (including humans) have primal needs that won't change due to some societal, cultural, and technological changes.


    Why are you derailing this to whine about homosexuality?
    Homosexuality has been scientifically documented in species other than humans. Homosexuals have tried for centuries to "straighten" themselves out with no success. I'd say it's a naturally occurring phenomenon, but it serves no reproductive purpose obviously. Not every living being gets to pass on its genes.



    Wrong.

    While there are distinct differences and traits of personality between men and women, I believe those differences should be celebrated, not resisted. Some things women are generally better than men, and other things men are better than women. Men and women need each other, and they make the best natural allies Which is why I don't buy into the hateful divisive collectivist rhetoric of feminism and the "Women need men like fish need bicycles" propaganda. And feminists like you who believe the only way to empower women is to marginalize men.

    You realize you just contradicted your "gender spectrum" you've been going on about, right?




    Facts is where I get these ideas. Sure Califonia has huge corporations and a high concentration of billionaire elites. But at the same time they have the highest percentage of homeless people of any state, and the unsanitary conditions of major Californian cities have brought back medieval diseases like the plague and typhus.

    TRUE: California has the nation’s highest poverty rate

    Those links to "facts" you posted are alt-right opinion pieces... You know that, right?

    California ranks 18th in reality...

    This story seems to trace to celebrity doctor Drew Pinsky, whose dual career in medicine and the mass media , as the New York Times (Feb.3., 2008) puts it, makes him navigate "a precarious balance of professionalism and salaciousness." He leans to the libertarian right politically, and his show was cancelled in 2006 for pushing conspiracy theories about Hillary's health which turned out to be unfounded. There's reason to think his hype about the potential for a plague epidemic is more of the same. Thanks to modern antibiotics, plague is far easier to deal with now than in the middle ages and it appears that modern strians of yershima pestis are considerably less virulent than the ones back in the day. A woman hospitalized with it earlier this year with the disease was the first confirmed human case in Los Angeles County in more than two decades. Some squirrels were also found with it, leading to the closing of a few camp grounds. But the hype is mainly political--taking aim at Democrats and liberals.

    LOL – and its well-known that all animals have written laws, constitutions, music, theatre, television and phones, factories, shops, the internet etc

    For fuck sake man we have been through all this before, humans might have ‘primal’ desires but there are often ‘human made’ laws in place to discourage such things. If a lion kills another lion there are no lion police to come along and make an arrest, no lion courts or lion prisons.

    But as I’ve explained to you before human made laws can also be used to oppress they can enforce slavery and apartheid to keep others who should be free ‘in their place’.

    Remember the law from around 2400 BC that said “If a woman speaks out of turn, then her teeth will be smashed by a brick” and that laws since then might have been more subtle but were pretty much along the same lines.

    Why would laws be needed to keep women ‘in their place’ to try and stop them achieving more equality if by nature and ‘primal need’ they would choose to be subservient? Do you think such laws were just in place to stop a small number of hateful, divisive and collectivist feminists?
