– “Why is Reddit so Anti-Women?” Fascinating (and highly sensical) approach here, underscoring what gets lost when education (policy) is viewed as strictly the science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields (the globally profitable/innovation-driven ones) at the expense of social/cultural...

Radical Feminist "Logic"

freedominwickedness:
According to radical feminists, trans* women are promoting rape if we say that lesbian dating spaces should not categorically exclude trans* women, even if we explicitly acknowledge that it’s okay for any particular cis woman to not be attracted to any particular trans* woman. But those same radical feminists tell cis...

"Don't call me 'cis'"
darkjez:
gcvsa:
Dear cisgender/cissexual sisters and brothers:
Somehow, there seems to have developed a pathos for using the scientific prefix “cis” in reference to people who are, by and large, not trans. The commonly used arguments for this generally fall into some category of claiming that “cis” is an insult to “normal” people, and that “cis” is not terminology which these people have...

Many conservative religious leaders insist that houses of worship in America today struggle under intense persecution. To hear some of the Catholic bishops tell it, religious freedom may soon be a memory because they don’t always get their way in policy debates.
It would be highly ironic if the United States, the nation that perfected religious liberty and enshrined it in the Constitution’s...

This morning while I was getting ready I was watching Sesame Street.
They were doing this bit where some clown was trying to wash his hands but kept washing his feet or his elbows and Elmo would go, “no mister noodle, your HANDS!” and all the tv kids would laugh.
Around the fourth or fifth time he couldn’t find his hands, I heard a grown man yell from somewhere else in the motel,...

The late Stone Age may have had an earlier start in Africa than previously thought — by some 20,000 years.

A Bug's Life: The Importance Of Naming Oneself
Cathy Brennan: Don't call me cis! I am not cis!
Trans* Woman: Okay, I think you have a different understanding of the term than I do, but I support the right to self-identify so I won't use it for you specifically.
Cathy Brennan: Absolutely. The right to name oneself is crucial. The right to self-identify is crucial.
Trans* Woman: So you understand that I self-identify as female.
Cathy Brennan: And I self-identify you as male.
Trans* Woman: You can't actually do that.
Cathy Brennan: Don't take away my right to self-identify you!
Trans* Woman: ...I think you miss the point of "self-identify". The key word here is "self".
Cathy Brennan: Uh, right, dude, and my self identifies you as male. Have you even BEEN to law school?
Trans* Woman: But you don't get to self-identify for other people. You are in charge of your own identity. That's what self-identify means.
Cathy Brennan: Okay, I get it. I myself identify as female.
Trans* Woman: Yes.
Cathy Brennan: And therefore you must be male.
Trans* Woman: But what about the right to self-identify?
Cathy Brennan: It is crucial. That's why you must not infringe upon my right to self-identify by being female. I was here first.
Trans* Woman: That's not actually a...
Cathy Brennan: FIRST!
Trans* Woman: ...
Cathy Brennan: By the way, I found out your legal name so I'm a call you Josh.
Trans* Woman: ...
Cathy Brennan: Now I self-identify as someone who is being threatened by you. Why are you so violent, Josh?
