Science doesn't back up 'Gender is a social construct'
- science definitely backs up that gender isn't remotely as simple as binarymonospaced
- You're gonna piss off the Bernie Bros and Hillary's around here... Lol love the "Souless Asian Android throwing out facts like candy"robotron3k
- Where does science say it's much more than binary, Mono?Ianbolton
- Yep, bold claim there Mono, do you have any links?Morning_star
- I'm also interested in those links, mono pls. show us what u goooot!%sted
- Mono Ocasio Cortez denies science again.Hayoth
- soy boy has spoken.severian
- pro tip: vice and vox are not scientific sources, monoGnash
- and she talking about gender as a social construct, not as binary. that would be sexGnash
- She contradicted herself in the first 60 seconds so I stopped watching.lowimpakt
- Typical patriarchal response.Morning_star
- https://www.realclea…imbecile
- Nature doesn't care how you identify, only what you are physically capable of. Produce viable sperm, male. Produce viable eggs, female.imbecile
- Funny to see so much time and emotion wasted on a problem that addresses .07% of the population.severian
- My claim isn't remotely "bold." The fact there are some hermaphrodites, or people with different sexual variations, physically and otherwise, is obvious proof.monospaced
- Mono, the issue of 'Intersex' people is addressed in the video. Intersex isn't a new gender it's both. That's it.Morning_star
- Why does she allow herself to speak for "Science" and whom does she mean with it?mekk
- Science is a process not a person.Morning_star
- Pretty much zero substance here, terrible public speaker and clearly annoyed that her paper was so derided she had to leave academia. But I did get a semi.fadein11
- #humourfadein11
- I didn't watch the video, but yeah, intersex or whatever you called it ... it's "both" but often to varying degrees on a scale. Scientifically non-binary.monospaced
- Some people are born one gender, but identify with another, on a biological level, not influenced by society. Science backs that up completely.monospaced
- As someone who doesn't really care about this issue at all, it seems like both sides are talking past each other.yuekit
- Is "gender" the same thing as biological sex or is a person's subjective view of their own identity? If you can't agree on the definition of such a basic term,yuekit
- It amazes me how this has become such a big issue for some, it's so unimportant in the larger scheme of things. Why is it upsetting people so much?fadein11
- then by all means prepare for a long pointless argument.yuekit
- @fadein11 ...not particularly charitable. Have a read https://www.theglobe…Morning_star
- Thank god your here Yuekit. I was worried.Morning_star
- * you'reMorning_star
- @morning, why is this an issue for you? genuine interest here, what is it that puts it on your radar?fadein11
- It's not really an issue it's just a different perspective. I work with an trans person and she keeps sending me this stuff.Morning_star
- why do you chime in on flat-earthers and excessive masturbation, fadein? what puts that on your radar? sanctimonious prickGnash
- and Yuekit is correct about vague and construed definitions tanking any possible discussionGnash
- why would a trans person be sending this to you? FFS, Tell them you dont care and shut off the megaphone.severian
- Lol @gnash, I've never posted about flat earthers or "excessive masturbation". Come on now, smhfadein11
- @Hayoth, I did not deny science, ffs.monospaced
- @gnash I admit it I commented on the absurdity of the no fap and flat earth threads but never OP'd, shall we get back on topic?fadein11
- @severian. Because it’s good to talk, engage and try to understand all perspectives. It broadens my sphere of influence and because of the myriad discussions...Morning_star
- ...here on these type of subjects it felt relevant. As usual though most people are not seeing the wood for the trees.Morning_star
- Lolfadein11
- What Asian droid?pango
- @fadein, why does excessive masturbation upset you so much? it's so unimportant in the larger scheme of things. Why such a big issue for you?Gnash
- lol, it was a no fap thread, so quite the opposite, you're losing your edge pal ;)
go have a wank or something ya?fadein11 - and I commented on the absurdity of a thread on giving up wanking, sorry it offended you though, shall we get back on topic? I knew this subject would be closefadein11
- to your heart though.fadein11
- given that folks are losing their jobs for using the wrong pronoun... that 'men' are being locked up and raping women while in jail etc...PonyBoy
- ... this is a conversation worth havingPonyBoy
- https://www.thenatio…PonyBoy
- Possibly yes, but this video adds nothing to the debatefadein11
- https://www.youtube.…PonyBoy
- I was on your topic, dickwad. I used your words verbatim right back at you.Gnash
- your topic, of course, is always the same. a mealy-mouthed, pass-aggressive, comment that suggests the OP holds the wrong opinion...Gnash
- ... of which opinion you looked up somewhere to make sure you had the right one before commentingGnash
- so nothing to do with this topic. just your pedantic and predicable responses. "Oh well, bigger fish to fry!" moronGnash
- Pls share your reading list like you do on nearly every comment you make on here. It's a non issue made big by the outrage crew, I have little concern for it anfadein11
- d this video didn't teach me anything.fadein11
- Wow #triggered much?fadein11
- all you do is +1 someone else opinion, or disparage ones that have already been established - by your look-up table - to be the wrong oneGnash
- your too pathetic to have your own opinion. you just follow along adding your, +1's and your, bigger fish to fry. #patheticGnash
- Bad day?fadein11
- My opinion was this video was poor, did you enjoy it?
I didn't learn anything.fadein11 - you add zero to any discussion, other than flitting in like a priggish little closet-moth to claim your moral high ground.Gnash
- I didn't watch it. I also don't need to watch a video about the world being round.Gnash
- Moral high ground? Not at all, just don't spend my life in a perpetual state of outrage over issues that really aren't that important to reasonable people.fadein11
- Ha ha ha. ‘Reasonable people.’ You are at the zenith of that moral mountain.Morning_star
- Good view up here, I chuckle every dayfadein11
- You played yourself, moron.Gnash
- of course you chuckle everyday, you drink from the sippy-cup of knowledge while staring out the window of the short-busGnash
- too lazy to read through all this and the video. so where you guys at?pango
- got one question tho. Does this all matter to you guys? are you all going to change your sex or change gender after this debate?pango
- let me guess you all just going to live your life exactly the same and find something else to be pissed off over while arguing with internet people.pango
- carry on.

Eleven Madison Park Is Reopening as an All-Vegan Restaurant
This June, NYC’s three-Michelin-starred restaurant—Eleven Madison Park (EMP)—will reopen with a new, 100% plant-based menu. Owner and chef, Daniel Humm, recently announced the relaunch is set for June 10.- lol at thinking vegan is political correctness...inteliboy

Oh the stupidity....
French skunk Pepe Le Pew will not appear in an upcoming "Space Jam" sequel and is not planned to feature in any new "Looney Tunes" cartoons, sources familiar with the productions told AFP, as a debate swirls over sexism and "cancel culture" in Hollywood.
The lovelorn cartoon animal -- who spends most of his time in luckless pursuit of a female cat who is repelled by his advances and noxious smell -- hit the headlines last week after a New York Times columnist said Pepe "normalized rape culture."
...
At the launch of streaming platform HBO Max last year, "Looney Tunes Cartoons" producer Peter Browngardt said cartoon hunter Elmer Fudd would no longer tote a rifle, telling The New York Times: "We're not doing guns."

I saw that in the DM a few days back and didn't bother with it then, and I'm certainly not going to bother with it from RT.
Amusingly, there's a link down the page to something else we should all be outraged about - "2+2=Oppression" and which I just happened to read this morning is actually a load of shit*
Turns out - the problem is mostly down to people not reading Abstracts or Papers, or failing that, not even reading a good summmary, or fialing that, not even a bad summary, or failing that - perhaps barely even the Tweet they could barely manage to consume before frothing with rage.
.
* Quoted from someone much smarter than I:
"Recently there was a brouhaha on the Twitters about 2+2=5 that went viral and, unfortunately, political. The argument is that post-modernists are trying to tear down mathematics as a "white supremacist social construct" and trying to say that "2+2=5" is as valid an answer as "2+2=4". Which sounds pretty bad, so I looked into it.
The original Tweet thread was a math nerd who jokingly, and not incorrectly, illustrated how it was mathematically possible for 2+2 to sometimes be 5. The argument may have been weak, and some people may not have found it convincing, but it was a mathematical argument, meant as a joke for a small Twitter audience.
Through the Twitter telephone, many retweets and steps later, the original argument - considered, funny, valid, perhaps weak - somehow transformed into "2+2=4 is a mere social construct, and 5 is a valid answer" - which, yes, would be a disturbing trend if that were actually the argument. Thus the unduly passionate took up "2+2 is 4 not 5" as a political rallying cry. People I otherwise respect as rational began tweeting this.
It became complicated because there are always people who believe dumb things, like "mathematics is merely a white supremacist social construct", and as always with the unduly passionate, extreme opinions are held up as examples of dangerously typical. The author of the original thread was bullied by a mob."
- The world's likely always been filled with 0.001%ers who make a meal out of whatever outrage they suffered that day. Trouble is, now they have a global audienceNairn
- Decolonizing math is a thing. A retarded thing, granted, but still a thingGnash
- I sent it out of ridiculousness on all levels, not because I was outraged. I'll go look at that other thing though. Sounds wild!Ianbolton
- Ironically, the ‘math nerd’ — that smarty refers to here — is one of the guys involved in the Sokal academic paper hoax (exposing grievance studies beautifully)Gnash
- Sorry Ian, I was reacting to 'the thing' not to your posting it - I was fairly sure I could appreciate where you were coming from! :)Nairn
- Aye Gnash - I remember seeing some thing from an African school a few years back where they were discussing 'decolonising science' and I'm like, ok, whatever.Nairn
- Don't inspire your students to make the next 100 years of discovery more diverse - no, not that! Spend the next 50 years going backwards. Well done.Nairn
- He was trying to explain how woke-think works and used A 2+2=5 math proof as an example.Gnash
- I swear to fucking Christ, it's like some of you go out your way to find things to be somehow unduly agitated by.face_melter
- Tragically, hilariously, some peeps from the Wokus Dei began to actually use it as the OP had jokingly put forth in the first placeGnash
- @f_m - given that I DIDN'T read the full stop article and happened upon the 2+2=5 thing somewhere entirely unrelated, I didn't go out of my way to find anythingNairn
- Point being that Daily Mail and RT have a vested interest in outrage generation, so best to spot it and steer clear.Nairn

That's gold!deadsperm - This is similar to when #eggsalad trend on twitter and the reason why they are trending is users are tweeting asking "why is #eggsalad trending?" #tunamayoPeterPancake

Actress Zoe Saldana has apologized for playing Nina Simone, because she was not black enough
https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/06/e…- this is becoming ridiculous.renderedred

- Her first clue should have been when she put on a prosthetic nose.zarkonite
- She's also not Nina Simone enoughdopepope
- i guess she's not voting for baiden.pango
- Is she Uhura enough? I doubt she'd "need" to apologize to Star Trek fans. So many of them are surprisingly racist.CyBrainX
- Definitely not Uhura enough. But is anybody?dopepope
- It's weird having actors apologise for not being the actual person they portray. The studios could've picked another actress though.monoboy
- They seem to cast movies for box office certainty, not quality. It doesn't get made if you can't pitch a famous face.monoboy

- Some people obvoisly weren't around in 1991 when he was at number one for half the year with that bloody song.
Seems a fair point on this though.webazoot - He is also an Officer of the Order of Canada, sir. Good day!Gnash
- Oh. So this was a greedy move by the top level Chinese agents in a wet market. Gotcha you nobody.monospaced
- How’s that working out China? Moneys piling up now!monospaced
- He’s talking about the greed that drives people to treat animals like that. He barks the same way at the animal industry in the westGnash
- Just because you haven’t heard of him doesn’t make him nobody - do all American think like that?Gnash
- He is also a very well accomplished photographer http://bryanadamspho…grafician

- Maybe that's unfair, both Graham and JK fall in the age range of "can't be bothered to learn the basics of sex vs gender, and what the hell is gender fluidity"garbage
- JK Rowling seems pretty educated and balanced in her views.mort_
- Are individuals not allowed to have their own beliefs? they have to conform to the beliefs of the company their work for?microkorg

Isn't that discrimination?microkorg - Don't ask questions which are forbiddendrgs

- ..and it's a little fucked for a multimillionaire who made her bones off of a young base, statistically millions of which are trans..garbage

- "statistically millions of which are trans"NonEntity

- In a four year study from 2017 to 2021 there were about 120k kids that identified with gender dysphoria. Those are kids that were actually studied.garbage
- How did did JK Rowling become an almost billionaire? Oh, because she has been writing children's fiction and fueling blockbuster movies since the late 90s.garbage

Society says that everyone should be free to love whomever they want. And they should feel proud and accepted for that love. People should be free to follow their hearts! Society shouldn’t tell people who they should or shouldn’t love.
Except Leonardo DiCaprio, apparently.
