Was too lazy to go to page 2 of ce and find the culture war or Peterson or Shapiro threadStrange choice of thread to post that tweet. Isn’t there a dedicated Shapiro et al thread to laugh at his inane nonsense.
Grand. Fair enough. To be fair he spews more than enough drivel to go round!Was too lazy to go to page 2 of ce and find the culture war or Peterson or Shapiro thread

It never ceases to amaze me how much people care about holding on to derogatory terms. When they change something that's derogatory it doesn't make me upset nor do I thank the gods of cancel culture. I just dont get why people let themselves get riled up about the removal of derogatory terms. The only thing I can think of is that they aren't aware of how inappropriate a term is because they're comfortable with using it. There certainly are some terms we all used in the 80's that are totally cringe now and rightfully so.
I guess the names of the men who ordained these women will be lost to history now.

Probably could go in a few threads but here for now.
Imagine if comedians had to do this after every single joke, and explain it, just so that nobody takes offence.In this longer version he does the joke then immediately provides his idea of a justification for doing it:
A musical-loving homophobe sounds like a lonely person to be.I guess if you were expecting a multilayered satirical take on the structural inequalities in the UK housing market you would be disappointed.

The quality bit is the joke about the Jehovahs witnesses.In this longer version he does the joke then immediately provides his idea of a justification for doing it:
https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/17973158/ukraine-war-wake-woke-britain/Will a generation brought up on “microaggressions” and “hate crimes” experience any jolt now that our continent is seeing real aggression and actual war crimes?
Will we finally get our damn priorities in order? You might certainly hope so.
If you don't laugh, you'll cry.Quit yer moaning about such trivialities as hate crimes, there's a war going on you woke snowflakes.
The Ukraine war is a wake-up call to woke Britain – we can no longer obsess over micro-aggressions amid real aggression

It actually gets worse, saying the war is a good advert for nationalism...er, yeah, not the nasty Russian sort.If you don't laugh, you'll cry.
But the war might also remind us of the need for nationalism. Of good, decent faith in the nation state, of the kind that has distinguished Britain throughout history...Nationalism certainly can turn ugly, as Putin is showing us.
I really hope that person got out of the theatre before the gayness started to sink in and turned themI guess if you were expecting a multilayered satirical take on the structural inequalities in the UK housing market you would be disappointed.

So nothing short of war/war crimes is worth bothering about? Interesting hot take. As in not interesting but very very dumb.Quit yer moaning about such trivialities as hate crimes, there's a war going on you woke snowflakes.

I don't know how people could get offended by that joke. I mean he explains the whole thing including highlighting that gypsies were subject to mass murdered, which was the point of the joke (the bit that offended). Surely nobody who watched the clip could think for a moment that he was glorifying or diminishing the seriousness of the holocaust? Odd that people got offended at the gypsies reference but were quite happy with the idea of JW's inviting themselves in for a shower?The quality bit is the joke about the Jehovahs witnesses.
I swear half the people moaning about these kind of jokes never actually watch it. They just catch on to the outrage in the "liberal" media and start frothing at the mouth. They're as bad as the gammons moaning about immigration.
If we were going to look for things to be offended by I'd have thought the JW bit would have been more of a target for sure!I don't know how people could get offended by that joke.

Shouldn’t this post be in the Transgender Athletes thread?Yes, it has.
With the case of Lia Thomas, it is being framed as a 'transphobia' issue, but really it's a question of ensuring a level playing field, particularly for natal females.
Because anyone can see from looking at Lia Thomas that she has evident physical advantages over her competitors, on point reactions to the story evoke 'The Emperor's New Clothes': people have to forego what their common sense is telling them in order to strike the right note.
But anyone who has taken part in strength or endurance-related sports will know that having athletes who went through puberty as biological males compete alongside females makes no sense at all. Anyone who even lifts weights at the gym will know that next to an average female, what they lift, row, and press is far in excess of females, even though there will be a number of females (usually active in competitive weight-lifting) who can go higher than them. In the same way that guys above 180 cm will deadlift more than guys below 180 cm, there are innate advantages to simply being born a male, or being tall, or simply having genetics conducive to lifting.
Yes, Lia Thomas has had to take various hormones in order to transition but the fact is that it is impossible to quantify to what extent that has diminished the advantage that she would have held at the outset of her transition.
It should not be framed as an issue relating to transphobia (even though transphobes do get involved in the debate) but it's a simple question of genetics, which also affects males within the group itself.

Are they thoughBeing told that genital preference is a form of discrimination seems to be something now. Increasingly gay people are accused of bigotry or transphobia if they refuse to accept sexual attraction to those who have transitioned into the appropriate gender
Yes. You only have to look at how Stonewall itself are increasingly critical of the term ‘same-sex attraction’.Are they though
How do you mean? I don't quite follow the 'refuse to accept sexual attraction those who've transitioned' part?Being told that genital preference is a form of discrimination seems to be something now. Increasingly gay people are accused of bigotry or transphobia if they refuse to accept sexual attraction to those who have transitioned into the appropriate gender
