Nivea accused of telling ad agency: ‘we don’t do gay’
One of the world’s biggest beauty brands has lost its advertising agency after an executive allegedly said: “We don’t do gay at Nivea.”Is it because they don't want to scare away heterosexuals? I can sort of see how some men won't use moisturizer "because it's gay", and the last thing they need is an ad showing two gays rubbing moisturizer on each other

https://wjla.com/news/local/mult…Transgender girl (m2f or just genderfluid according to some sources) raped a girl in the girls' toilet at the school they went to. School officials decided not to call the police, but to investigate on their own. The father of the raped girl, Scott Smith, showed up to the school, the principal called the cops, tl dr, the father got 10 days probation. Don't ask questions which are forbidden.
Same transgender rapist was charged with a second sexual assault at another Loudoun County school.As I was saying, all transgenders which are causing trouble that we keep reading in the news, whether its rape, sports, hair removal salon lawsuits, are male-2-female transgenders. You never hear about the f2m's.
And the reason for this is the same why there are more men in prison: they are men.Discuss
- In any allegation of rape/sexual assault the police should be called immediately. This is the schools fault for thinking they had the ability to deal with this.Morning_star
- Obviously the M2F girls is directly responsible.Morning_star

- great 'news' sources there-- examiner opinion pieces and other garbage. trans people are far more often victims of assault rather than perpetrators.sarahfailin
- and it's not clear that the accused student is even trans. some girl's conservative dad is saying they are. sharing this BS before the facts are out is just BS.sarahfailin
- the entire "girls' bathroom trans rapist" scenario has no basis in factual history. straight men are far more violent rapists.sarahfailin

Shark advocates call for rebranding violent attacks as ‘interactions’
"Marine advocates in Australia are urging the public to stop using "attack" in reference to sharks, saying that media has warped the reputation of the majestic predatory fish into that of a deliberate killer.

Do you think that white people using the lighter shade emojis in apps like Slack or WhatsApp instead of the default yellow ones is a bit off?
I totally get the representation of minorities in emoji sets and the use of them and am glad my black colleagues are represented.
But I cautiously stick to the default, being white. It just feels inappropriate to consciously choose a lighter skin tone.
I know it’s only an emoji. Nobody’s losing sleep over it. Just curious.
- yellow is a waysist term.teh
- I'm not a Pacman so I choose a closer shade to my own. Except when I think it's amusing to needlessly appropriate a darker shade than my own.Nairn
- Ultraviolet tends not to be well-represented in these things, so gingers gotta ginge.Nairn
- I don't find the white emoji, white enough for my likings. Certainly need to get some sun this yearIanbolton
- Yeah, needs Irish-British Blue in there too.
Scandies can have a look in, although they seem a bit healthier.Nairn - I guess I see deliberately choosing the white emoji as slightly aligned with the ‘white lives matter too’ mentality. But you clearly don’t so not condemning it.mort_
- I mean having different skin tone emojis is clearly about more than everyone getting their own skin tone.mort_
- Maybe if you're body positive albinodrgs
- Both sides of the skin tone scale are forbidden, darker emojis are also bad if you're whitedrgs
- Mort, do you identify as white?! I do get what you mean though. I feel like yellow is generic, but then I was aneamic when i was a kidIanbolton
- @Ian Yes I’m white.mort_
- mort_ - then surely the same can be said for any given type to choose their own? Why fret it? It's crueller to have all been forced with Yellow.Nairn
- Yeah I dunno. Yellow in the Simpsons represents white people. Maybe it’s not that neutral after all.mort_
- I'm still using simple :-) emojis...never mind these graphic ones.shapesalad
- too much work to change them for me.pango
- Huh, I've just realised - in the Simpsons, white people are yellow and oriental Asians are white. Having Googled, this is A Thing.Nairn

Punches for the Toronto star, their articles are on par with the Toronto sun these days.
Headline:
“Zero Black or Indigenous women are on track for the corner office in a majority of big companies, survey finds”
Study found 89 per cent of the organizations surveyed have zero Black women “in the pipeline to the leadership level, and 91 per cent have zero Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit and Métis) women.”
The Canadian black population is 4% so if half are women then that means 2% but according to the article 11% of corporations have black women in the pipeline so really they are OVER-represented by a factor of 4x same for indigenous women who make up 2.5% of the Canadian population but according to this article make up 9% of these leadership roles.
Am I missing something? It sounds like they are doing ok but the star spins it to make it sound that there are 0% of these women being represented.
- For starters, you’re comparing the percentage of companies with the percentage of people... that doesn’t make any sensenb
- The star has been a silly paper for a while nowGnash
- Nb why should the percentage change population vs companies? So if the population is 50% women it makes sense that the workforce is 50% women too._niko
- So it’s expected that 50% of companies in Canada have a female CEO. Which is great, But the star would say ZERO women CEOs in 50% of companies._niko
- What you’re missing is that it isn’t 11% of companies are black or indigenous. It’s that 11% might have one. They are still very UNDERrepresented.monospaced
- They aren’t giving you the % of non white employees in leadership either. That would be too useful for a fair comparison.monospaced
- Sooo you're not comparing population vs workforce or population vs employees. You're comparing population vs companies.nb
- Some companies have 50,000 employees, others have 3 employees. So 1/50000 or 1/3 constitutes a mark in that 11% category of companies.nb
- I'm not making a moral argument here, I'm just explaining why your numbers don't line up. Speaking strictly from a statistic point of viewnb

"It was 42F, and the 79-year-old senator from Vermont was cold. Bernie Sanders slumped uncomfortably in his folding chair, coat pulled to chest, hands clad in chunky mittens.

Almost immediately, the feminist backlash began. The Drexel University professor Amelia Hoover Green tweeted: “Ice cold feminist take: I love Bernie, I really do, but sir: emotional labor is not beneath you. Not feeling it? Fucking pretend for one minute, like [most] women do every minute.”

“Wokefishing”, put simply, is when people masquerade as holding progressive political views to ensnare potential partners. A wokefish may at first present themselves as a protest-attending, sex-positive, anti-racist, intersectional feminist who drinks ethically sourced oat milk and has read the back catalogue of Audre Lorde, twice. But in reality, they don’t give a shit. Or, as is often the case, they are actively the opposite in their personal lives.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/…Charles Murray, author of the famous book The Bell Curve, which explains variations in IQ in America, held a lecture at Middlebury College. His lecture was thwarted, the students screamed while Murray tried to talk. Local professor Allison Stanger tried to debate him -- with no success. When she tried to take Murray out of the campus, they were both attacked and beaten up. The professor was concussed, broke her neck etc.
American professors are now massively complaining about the students. The students require censorship, safe spaces and trigger warnings, while the professors demand freedom of speech.
In the 60s it used to be the students who demanded freedom of speech, and university authorities fought against it and beat up the students. Now the students try to silence those who speak against the official ideology.The new generation of Americans will be exactly this; putting burqa on their women, gag the professors and demand massive executions for unorthodoxy.

I'm designing for an upcoming Pride event, and during the walkthrough of the event space, the stakeholder pointed out that we need to change the bathroom signs so they don't say "men" and "women" anymore. The event manager was confused at first, and we had to explain that the bathrooms need to be unisex, because there will be many different genders attending.
- how many are there now?Gnash
- I have no idea.monospaced
- The "many genders" thing was sort of a joke. It's more about having unisex, which really does make sense.monospaced
