  1. And nuclear holocaust might still happen with Russia being a d!ck. Okay then. So why do we bother educating our children then? Why did we all congregate here on a classical education board? I think it is... profoundly cruel to take away a child's hope and replace it with nothing but empty existential angst. All the pharmaceuticals for contraception, anxiety/depression & hormones/blockers can't be doing great things to the environment either. My God, what a mess we're in. (None of this is directed at any particular person, I'm just jumping off ideas. I know we're all trying to do our best as parents and believe me I know it's freaking hard)
  2. Yep my own parents said that the world was going to end in a nuclear holocaust any minute so why have kids? Spoiler - they had kids. Also, what a sad, depressing view of life we - as a culture - are apparently presenting to the next generation.
  3. I did not run anyone off what a load of crap. If we're playing that game then I know plenty who have been 'run off' by the be kind side which will not deign any actually diverse opinion - or what you call 'interference' this issue is not US specific, I don't really comment on US specific politics.
  4. Not using her vulnerable personal info to try and shut her up would be a good start
  5. Legislation, or legal decisions, have been very helpful in the UK. I don't know, I think legislation helps with norms/overton window but it's very chicken & egg. I think grass roots discussion helps some politicians realise the window is moving and get brave, and I think the reverse happens too - brave public figures make space for everyday people to speak too. At the moment though, I think the conversation is so fraught and confused that legislation will probably make things worse...
  6. Sure, that's fair Danae. Though I'm not an American politician and I'm not for gender specific dress codes in schools. See, nuanced conversation and we find ground we agree on. But the prison thing only came up after someone asked 'why do you care' There is at least one male sex offender in the women's prison in my state right now so I care about that.
  7. And if I've said something objectively incorrect or hateful please point it out so I can apologise and correct it.
  8. Sure, vote for the one defending absurdities over the one who you believe is a rapist. Or don't vote. Or whatever. What has that got to do with here on a homeschool, classical education board though? I would think that nuanced, persuasive discussion here would prevent/temper extremism? On both sides. Whataboutism, ad hominems, political jabs (which I don't get because I'm not american) & insults aren't helping.
  9. 1. So... we should put more male rapists in because the women are getting raped anyway? More than one thing can be bad. Feminists have been fighting against male prison guards in women's prisons for a looooooong time too. 2. I'm not American. I don't follow American politics. More than one person can be bad at a time.
  10. Can you really not state 'women shouldn't be caged with male rapists' without... what? Being seen as a trump supporter? Why would you give that goal to one political party? I don't give an eff who does it just get the male rapists out of the women's prisons now.
  11. Exactly. I can't even express how tiring it is to meet the same old ad hominems and insults. I just don't want women locked in cages with rapists and small children being told their bodies are wrong and the science community forgetting that mammals reproduce sexually...
  12. Okay, I do get this perspective, though I do think it's being used as a weapon to shut down any discussion. What I don't get is how refusing to answer questions and insulting people who have been part of this education-centred community for a long time is helpful. I also don't owe anyone an explanation on my politics but I suppose it can be summed up as - they're all (with rare exceptions) selfish and out of touch fake people who make everything worse.
  13. Truth and reality certainly are. Well, some of us are trying anyway
  14. Poisons now? Far out sneezy your projection can be seen from space. Please, I'm begging you, engage in good faith. Assuage my concerns. I'd love to be wrong. Honestly and sincerely. All I've gotten the last decade is 'it's evil to ask questions.' I've been on this board a long time, we all love our kids and try hard to be honest here. You keep insinuating I'm some political pot stirrer to avoid answering hard questions and that tactic doesn't work anymore.
  15. 'Just bodies'? Really. Why did our grandmothers bother with all that feminism stuff. I'm allowed to care about any topic and I don't owe you my sob story. This is a board based around classical education. I won't apologise for pursuing truth or asking very reasonable questions. Multiple thousand percent rise in teen girls identfying out of their womanhood is something I care about. Detransitioners, I care about.
  16. Where have I said trans = evil? Is asking for explanations of extraordinary claims 'bullying'? Just the 'vibe' again?
  17. Fwiw Danae, I wasn't talking about your post. I was talking about the numerous times/graphics that try to explain the sex 'spectrum' that place pcos as further along towards the male side of the spectrum than just female. Such as the scientific american one which lists irregular periods and low estrogen under 'intersex'
  18. I assume Sneezy is trying to get the thread locked.
  19. Lol Asking you for clarification is a 'hateful vibe'?
  20. Please quote where I have ever discussed anyone as anything like 'detritus' As far as I can see you're the only one hurling insults. Unless, you think recognising female bodies is an insult. In which case, why?
  21. This is a classical education board ffs. Insults don't equal arguments.
  22. Insults again. You didn't answer the question. Why is observing the reality of sexual dimorphism in mammals 'forcing people in boxes'?
  23. Why would you assume that correctly identifying a person's sex - which can help diagnose sex specific disorders of sexual development - means they are seen as lesser humans?
  24. Why is saying female bodies exist 'forcing people into boxes'?
