Gender Issue Clickbait Of The Day

Must feel equally nice to be so knowledgable that you can invalidate anything by simply saying it's wrong. For all your alleged research, you've presented nothing besides "neener neener neener, you're wrong".

Oh. I'm sorry. I thought you wanted your assertions to be taken seriously.

If the way you write is any indication of whether or not you want your point understood, I think we can agree that you are a fool.

I posted something stupid and got called out for it. Better double down, can't have anyone on the internet thinking I'm ignorant.

>_>

Society... Having an innate nature... Like society is something with an internal to have... Rather than being completely defined and generated by the people in power within that society...

Yeah. No.
Society is a creation of man.
There is nothing innate about it.
It is defined by the histories experienced by the people living within that society.

Yes it's true I should treat everyone like they have an IQ of 50 and are unable to do their own research.

Or I should just treat them like intelligent adults and just poke fun at their particular biases^^

She's discussing male obligation vs female privilege. Historically feminism has criticized male privilege, lamenting female obligation and assaulting any mention of male obligation and female privilege. Social obligations and privileges are balanced for the stability of a society at a macro level. If the progressive wish to conduct social experiments and redefine society they need to take into account the reasons those natural gender roles formed to begin with. And no this invisible every present yet undetectable unmoving mover known as "the patriarchy" isn't an acceptable answer. Right now society is horribly unbalanced in western nations, almost all female obligation has been removed along with male privilege but male obligation and female privilege has been kept intact courtesy of feminism. One needs look no further then a divorce hearing, child custody battle or child protective services to see how horrifically unbalanced it all is.

My son actually asked me who would win in a fight, superman or wonderwoman?!

Was this really de-mained after less than 2 pages? Why?

Where are all the men?

I agree, but the question is where are all the men?

By now, you’ve probably seen the viral video in which the frumpy woman with the “Flashdance” hair walks around the streets of New York City getting catcalled.

The hidden-camera video was released last week by Hollaback, a group that bills itself as “an international movement to end street harassment.” The video documents the woman, 24-year-old actress Shoshana Roberts walking the streets of New York for 10 hours as she claims to be the victim of some 100 instances of harassment.

Now, The New York Times wants to know if a law should shield white feminist women by preventing black and Hispanic men from speaking to them, and possibly offending their tender sensibilities.

“Do We Need a Law Against Catcalling?” the august, Victorian newspaper asks.

“Should current laws dealing with harassment be strengthened to include catcalling, or will that go too far in trying to control speech and behavior?”

In the video, virtually every man who speaks to Roberts (with comments such as “How you doing today?”) is either black or Hispanic.

While some commenters who responded to the “Room for Debate” piece noted the potential constitutional problems with a law against minority men chatting up white women, others wholeheartedly agreed that men on public streets must be silenced.

“I agree that there should be a law against street harassment,” wrote a commenter named Andrea from Boston. “I am sick of people telling me that a man’s First Amendment right is more important than my right to feel safe in public places.”

Reader SZ agreed.

“There should be a law. It is scary and infuriating. Who are they to ruin my day? Who are they to attempt to diminish me? I have no recourse,” SZ complained, apparently seriously. “Anything I say or do inspires more unwanted attention. The bullies have made the law necessary.”

Many transgender teenagers dread puberty, and not just because of the pimples and squeaky voices.

As bodies start to change, children slowly and uncontrollably leave the relative comfort of their younger years; for transgender kids, this transition is even more fraught, as appearances that may have been somewhat androgynous and enabled them to pass for another sex begin to fade into an undeniably gendered adulthood. Transgender youth grow into bodies that are not just more mature versions of themselves but that can feel like a foreign vessel, experts say.

Though Oregon was preparing to become the first state to allow low-income teens to use Medicaid coverage for expensive puberty-blocking drugs to help them delay those body changes, it looks like trans Oregonian youth will have to wait a little longer—or just cope with puberty as it comes.

State health authorities pushed back the October implementation date of coverage for those diagnosed with gender dysphoria to January after other drugs were deemed to take precedence, said Ariel Smits, medical director of the state’s Health Evidence Review.

It’s been a long wait for Oregon trans teens. The state approved Medicaid coverage of puberty blockers for gender dysphoria use two years ago, but implementation delays are common in the state program, Smits said.

The delay, however, hasn’t dented the spirit of triumph in the Oregon trans community, one advocate said.

“We know adolescents who were suicidal—terrified of going into puberty,” said Jenn Burleton, executive director of the TransActive Gender Center in Portland, which works with about 400 transgender youths and their families and was instrumental in pushing the state to cover puberty suppression drugs.

Giving teens the option of blocking anxiety-invoking body changes helps save lives, Burleton said. Transgender people, which comprise about 1 percent of the population, have an exceptionally high suicide rate, about 40 percent.

“It’s preemptive proactive treatment that prevents unnecessary trauma,” she said.

Puberty suppression meds, which cost $750 to $1,200 a month and are often not covered by private insurers in gender dysphoria cases, have been used for several decades to treat precocious puberty. They work by blocking the brain’s release of proteins that stimulate hormones producing secondary sex characteristics, such as breasts and menstruation or facial hair and Adam’s apple.

The effects are completely reversible, said Veronica Gómez-Lobo, a pediatric obstetrician/gynecologist with the Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. As soon as children stop taking the drug, they move into puberty.

Gender dysphoric teens typically start suppressive therapy at the onset of puberty and continue until they’re about 16, when it is generally considered reasonable to start hormone therapy, which may later be supplemented by gender reassignment surgery.

Parental consent and a psychological assessment are needed before starting the course of therapy.

Both the FDA and the Endocrinological Society have approved puberty blockers for gender dysphoria, Gómez-Lobo said. A study published in July in Pediatrics, the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, concluded that suppressing puberty offered teens “the opportunity to develop into well functioning young adults.”

"I am sick of people telling me that a man’s First Amendment right is more important than my right to feel safe in public places.”

Why are transgenders on the rise?

Modern feminized nations have emasculated their own populations to the point that the men resemble women more often then not.

Modern feminized nations have emasculated their own populations to the point that the men resemble women more often then not. It all boils down to the progressives insistence that there is something inherently wrong with masculinity and that femininity should be praised and worshiped.

Transgenders having problems with puberty?
Why are transgenders on the rise?

Now we got *** Thor becoming a female. Gonna set me back at least a month in bringing my sons up to be normal.

What do you consider normal?

Normal is relative to society, not individuals. Individuals might have ideals or a normative perspective, though.

Wait, did you contradict your own post there?

You are saying that the idea of normality is not an individualistic idea, but individuals can have different ideas of normality?

He did not.

He said that what is actually considered normal is relative to society not the indivudual... Having stated that though, he went on to explain that it does not always stop people from having a differing perspective...
