New Rule: Words Matter | Real Time with Bill Maher (HBO)
bcglorf says...@newtboy,
thanks for clarification.
So in your view, do you see the left objecting to any of the following things that kinda speak to Maher's point, and I think fits to the point of the 'left' being upset with him,
-Defending Chapelle which left would decry invoking their definition of dog whistle, transphobia...
-Pointing out a correlation between violence and Islamic extremism which left would decry as islamophobia
-Believing sports/olympics should divide competitors based on biological sex rather than gender identity == Transphobia
-(Big any famous celebrity accused of sex crimes) and suggesting they deserve a fair trial == failure to believe victims/survivors
Those are all things that have been pretty commonly defended by large groups of the left from what I've been seeing. Am I wrong?
Man In The Women's Locker Room Is Now The Norm
JiggaJonsonAnd another way of putting it is to think about it in a foundationally different way.
Judith Butler asks "What can a body do" and points out the contrast that question has with our understanding of gender roles.
The ignorance on display here is like watching the people throw tomatoes at the girls in A League of Their Own, because everyone knows girls can't play baseball. They just aren't built for it. It's wrong! We gotta do something!
Blah blah
It's like that but imagine the same old times voice shouting "they can't let a man wear a dress and take estrogen, it taint right!!"
They know that they're in danger but go on with their own lives anyway. It's incredibly brave. Like an illegal immigrant at a cross burning, they March into the restroom of the gender they feel they are knowing they're going to be harassed like this.
Honest question for everyone really angry at the lady in the video. Is the problem her manner and attitude alone? That is to ask a second question, do you think it is unreasonable for a parent to not want their young daughter seeing naked penises?
The Magic Crystal - Ninja Sex Party
BSRRode by a house once with a bunch of people standing around with drinks in their hand. A big colorful sign displayed in the front that read "We're all here for the sex". Imagine my surprise when they told me to put my clothes back on because it was a Gender Reveal Party.
Viral How Much Did Your Divorce Cost
scheherazade"What on earth are you talking about?"
-newt
The rules for property and income when one or both parties decide they no longer want to be in the relationship.
"not having a marriage means you almost certainly will pay for them for 18+ years but won't have many rights to be in their lives"
-newt
Incorrect. If you are on birth certificate, you have the same rights and obligations.
The only pitfalls are that :
- Child support is calculated from the income of the parent with less custody (rather than from the true cost of raising a child).
- Women almost always get custody if the choice is between two parents (like when they live far apart and child can only be at one or the other).
"and may lose your rights to any assets if she grabs first"
-newt
Negative. Co-parenting does not conflate property.
Shared assets when not married are divided either by percentage of purchase price contribution, or by percentage stated in a contract.
"My brother paid well over a hundred thousand dollars for his divorce in Texas"
-newt
"My brother won."
-newt
Won by your own definition. Hence I congratulate.
"You assume women take off time to raise the kids"
-newt
No assumptions. Although afaik they still do it more often.
"You start from a false position that men work both harder and better, but you have no data to back that up. "

Top result from a zero effort google of "men working hours vs women working hours"
https://towardsdatascience.com/is-the-difference-in-work-hours-the-real-reason-for-the-gender-wage-gap-interactive-infographic-6051dff3a041
"Um...so since you admit many women outearn men and the trend reinforces that"
-newt
I admit that women [as a group] under 35 out earn men under 35 because of preferential admittance (such as to higher education) and preferential hiring (such as to managerial positions).
I did not say that women earn more in the same position for the same hours worked. Young men are simply getting shut out of opportunities, so their incomes are lower. As by design.
It does however highlight how affirmative action is being poorly controlled.
The target statistic is based on overall population at all ages.
The adjustment is skewed to younger ages (school admission is typically for younger people).
So the system is trying to balance out incomes of older men by trimming up incomes of younger women, with no accounting for the effects on younger men or consequences of older men retiring.
The situation is doomed to overshoot with time.
A natural result is the popularity of people like Jordan Peterson, with messages like : "Young men, nobody will help you, stop waiting for someone to help you, stop lamenting your situation, you gotta pull yourself up by your boot straps. Start by cleaning your room, then go make something of yourself".
"Bullshit. You said you would immediately dismiss any woman who has...
"Long dating history? Too much risk[etc]" -scheherazade "
-newt
Straw man argument.
You know I stated that those marriageability criteria exist specifically due to risk of consequences of divorce.
I never stated that I have personal issues with those attributes.
I have dated women on that list. I didn't /marry/ them.
My only criteria for a relationship that I am happy being in is :
- We are mutually attracted
- We like each other
- We are nice to each other
I don't care what your religion is, your politics, your family status, whatever. It's all just noise to me.
" And again, prenuptial. Do you not know what they are?"
-newt
Prenups can be negated by these simple words :
"I did not understand what I was signing"
or
"My lawyer was not present".
Poof. Prenup thrown out.
"their husbands are more likely to break their vows first"
-newt
A woman to cheat needs a willing man (easy)
A man to cheat needs a willing woman (hard)
Times have changed. Online dating made chatting someone up in person and make an impression uncommon, and even considered creepy/unusual. Now people are picked on their online profile based on looks/height/social-media-game.
Dating apps and sites publish their statistics. Nowadays, around 20% of men match with around 80% of women.
Most men aren't having sex. Most men can't find a match to cheat with if they wanted to.
The tall cute photogenic guys are cleaning up.
The 20% of men that match the bulk of women are going through women like a mill. They will smash whatever bored housewife crosses their path.

"Women don't like men that believe wholeheartedly that all women are just lessers, leeches"
-newt
Agreed.
Fortunately, I never say that about women.
" you can't grasp that a codified, delineated, agreed to partnership is almost always better, more fulfilling, and has many benefits cohabitation lacks"
-newt
False equivalence.
Cohabitation and Partnership are mutually independent.
Meaning both can exist at the same time.
-scheherazade
What on earth are you talking about?
Do you believe the government dictates your vows? What "rules"? You just cannot grasp the concept of no fault divorce or prenuptial, can you?
I guess you never planned on kids or shared assets. If you do, not having a marriage means you almost certainly will pay for them for 18+ years but won't have many rights to be in their lives, and may lose your rights to any assets if she grabs first. Uncle Sam is in your relationship, married or not....without a marriage contract, he makes ALL the rules and you have no say.
My brother paid well over a hundred thousand dollars for his divorce in Texas that in my state would have cost under $10K and you congratulate him? You are one strange person.
Again, your perception, not based in fact since the 60's. You assume women take off time to raise the kids and take care of parents and assume fathers don't take paternity leave or have obligations outside work. How 50's. You start from a false position that men work both harder and better, but you have no data to back that up. It certainly hasn't been my experience, I've seen women in the workplace working harder and longer for less pay, sacrificing just like their male counterparts if not more, putting off having families until it's too late while men can have kids long after normal retirement age, putting themselves in dangerous situations where those with power over them have opportunities to abuse that power and abuse those women in ways that rarely happen to men. These aren't exceptions, they're the norm.
Um...so since you admit many women outearn men and the trend reinforces that, meaning soon women in most catagories will out earn men and have more to lose, you admit you're wrong in your position now, right? Of course not, I expect you will still start from a point that hasn't been correct since the era and sexual revolution, early 70's at latest.
No, many of the studies I've seen compared people in the same exact positions in the same industries, even same companies, and women consistently get paid less for the exact same job and hours, and women rarely work less today, and just as often out work their male counterparts knowing they are often token hires not valued by the bosses so have less job security. If I recall correctly, 80% of job losses due to Covid were women, and the men are getting rehired faster. I think you are thinking of some studies from the 80's that made those assumptions and accusations. Comparing apples to apples, women still get shortchanged and as often as not overworked.
Bullshit. You said you would immediately dismiss any woman who has...
"Long dating history? Too much risk
Tends to have short relationships? Too much risk
Likes attention? Too much risk
Single mother (non-widow)? Too much risk
Any mental issues (depression, bipolar, narcissist, anxiety, etc)? Too much risk
Older (why you still single...)? Too much risk
Likes to party? Too much risk
Drinks? Too much risk"
And again, prenuptial. Do you not know what they are? Specify what you expect and agree, and you walk with exactly what you agreed to, no government rules or split involved. Geez. You speak as if you had never heard of them.
Most divorces may be initiated by the woman (if that's true, I expect it's just another assumption) because their husbands are more likely to break their vows first, but are not willing to pay to end the marriage, including penalties for breaking the marriage contract, and we're too dumb to get a prenuptial (or got one that spells out harsh penalties for cheating). Yes, I am assuming men cheat on their spouses more often than the reverse, because men are wired that way.
You are not more likely than not to face a divorce, because it's unlikely any woman meeting your criteria would give you a second thought, and you need to get married to get divorced.
I bet if you show your significant other this thread your 20 year relationship will be in big trouble, or at best enter a long dry dark spell. Women don't like men that believe wholeheartedly that all women are just lessers, leeches that take more than they deserve or even could give back and destroy you whenever they think it serves them. It's probably a good thing you aren't married.
Laws and family court aren't as you describe. Maybe when you enter the 21st century you'll recognize that. The rules of your marriage can be whatever you agree to, including the specifics of the split if it ends.
It's a sad thing you can't grasp that a codified, delineated, agreed to partnership is almost always better, more fulfilling, and has many benefits cohabitation lacks.....almost always unless one or both of you are total douchebags.

Gender Reveal Sparked 47,000 Acre Wildfire cost $8 Million..
eric3579His plea agreement was to pay $100,000 up front and $500 month for two decades for a total of 220,000. It also says he will pay the full 8 million. Not sure how it actually all works but sure am happy he has to pay something.

Hypocrisy, Thy Name Is Republican
luxintenebristhe grand old party is as good as their word.
why should we worry? deny the president was guilty and removing him, only strengthen america's chances against a killer virus...right? pence would have been worse on the covid response...right? like pontius pilate the call was in their hands.
these are the same folks that say corporations are people, we can wait on infrastructure, healthcare and education necessities, they can channel the forefathers, and the almighty put their presidential candidates on the ballot.
as the god chosen they've divine this is the time to start another holy war. during a time when...
- a virus cold war is going on. rubes with attitudes spitting lines about constitutionality and freedom (spitting being the keyword). then accusations that the spit-upon are politizing the disease
- blm movements meeting up w/the far-right press and punks
- half the country is on fire and the other under water
- homelessness, evictions, unemployment, and the real possibility of a bone-crushing depression settling in longer than covid itself...
...and now the might right wants to add to the fire. like they are running a gender identification party.
any wonder my moscow mitch had a 13% approval rating? if the republicans hate their representatives, what chance does anything else have?
sure. justice cruz will be a salve to soothe the burn. like ethanol in hell.

Michael Moore Presents: Planet of the Humans
cloudballoon says...I think Bill Maher is with you on this. Not in advocating population control, but at least to not have offspring.
Population Control is just a nightmare on so many levels. The heartbreaks and gender imbalance introduced by China is devastating.
Most governments (and thus its people) are conditioned to think free-market capitalism is the only future. Economic growth is the only way forward. it's all about Growth, Growth, Growth. Never about the 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) and "Waste Not, Want Not" kind of life practice.
It can only be down to the individuals to do what's right. I don't hold my breath waiting for government or society-wide action.
Way too long, didn't watch, but I must disagree with the description.
Population control is hardly removed from the debate. IMO it's just ignored when it's brought up because the vast majority of people won't even consider not having children to the point where when China tried to take action and limit couples to one child the world called them draconian monsters instead of intelligent.
I personally often say I think every problem facing humanity and the planet is a function of overpopulation, and I'm not alone. I admit, I'm rare in that I put my money where my mouth is and had a vasectomy in my twenties before having children. I'm of the belief that no other action could possibly have the positive effect that not adding to the population does, but I also bought a full solar system over a decade back and try to grow most of my own food, and I drive well under 5000 miles a year.
There's no reason to abandon population control in favor of technological fixes or vice versa, indeed I believe maximising both won't fully solve our issues that have taken over a century to create, but I also believe not acting in every way possible to mitigate our damages leads to certain doom for most species.
I also think none of this will make a whit of difference in the grand scheme because way too many people have decided making any lifestyle sacrifices or not wastefully living above their means is intolerable even if it means their children suffer for it.
Not your typical gender reveal
eric3579This may be the first positive and hilarious thing to ever come from the idiotic practice (imo) of "gender reveals".
Dave Chappelle: Equanimity
bcglorf says...Honest question. What is the distinction between trans-gender and trans-race?
At least in Canada we are rapidly building into law not merely protections for gender identity, but legal requirements for others to also recognize/embrace people's chosen gender identities(forgive me, I know at least in Canada choice is the wrong word but I'm mentally lapsing on a better one).
Yet, trans-race is still dealt with as a joke, with the trans-race individuals an acceptable target of ridicule.
My own opinions don't sit as far out on the left, but watching those that are content with both declaring trans-gender identity an inalienable fundamental right to the extent that MtF athletes must be allowed no matter how clearly their 'choice' was biased by getting to be #1 in their sport., but then ridiculing anyone claiming trans-race is hard for me to reconcile.
Anybody else able to provide a rational difference between the two? It looks to me like an entirely subjective I agree with one but not the other thought process, but maybe that's just my ignorance?
Kicked Out of Class for Saying There are Two Genders
bobknight33Sounds word smithing, bending the original meaning of gender to give legitimacy to ones lifestyle.
Its like taking the definition of dog and morphing its original definition to include any 4 legged animal.
But hey the left control the education system ( and media) and hence control the language of the day.
Next time you seem me walking my elephant just be politically correct and say thats a nice dog you have.
That depends, if we're talking sex, then yes there is only male and female. Gender is about more than just biology so there can be more than just two.
