@booboo or any parents who are that concerned with their child being gender neutral should encourage their boy to wear sparkly pink dresses and their girl blue tee's with rocket ships on it, or maybe just buy white stuff?
I mean aren't we now being colourist, how do we know pink wants to be a girls colour. maybe it wasn't to be a boy colour but genderists have assigned it as a girl colour?

I hope the people pushing this bullshit realise that the second their child walks into Day Care or School they will have their gender "assigned" by the other kids. We never specifically taught our boy how to tell girls and boys apart, it's something that comes naturally to everyone. But people pushing this crap don't like that thing called "reality", it gets in the way of their narrative.

Only since 1927 apparently.

There was this doco on tv some years ago regarding the nature vs nuture thing
Some poor guy in the 70s had his cock burned to a crisp as a newborn. Think it was a circumsison gone wrong
Anyway this looney dr decided it was a chance to see if he could be raised as a she. The mom was in on it too.
Fair to say it didn't do well, she/he was fucked up big time. Didn't like playing with dolls wearing dresses etc
In the end commited suicide sometime in his/her 20's -

In the end commited suicide sometime in his/her 20'sThe shrink that said it was a good idea to raise Reimer as a girl was a kiwi, Reimer killed himself around the same time Money opened an art gallery in his home town I think. The press were pretty merciless at the time, they asked him about the suicide when he thought they were going to ask about art. Not sure what they'd do now though.

It is absolutely astounding that people still think that differences between males and females are purely social constructs. Obviously a persons environment plays a role in shaping who they are, but to deny biological differences is beyond absurd.
This is a fascinating read for anyone interested - I'd certainly encourage people to share this type of work with any of the "social construct" crew they know.
In a study of 34 rhesus monkeys, for example, males strongly preferred toys with wheels over plush toys, whereas females found plush toys likable. It would be tough to argue that the monkeys’ parents bought them sex-typed toys or that simian society encourages its male offspring to play more with trucks. A much more recent study established that boys and girls 9 to 17 months old — an age when children show few if any signs of recognizing either their own or other children’s sex — nonetheless show marked differences in their preference for stereotypically male versus stereotypically female toys. -
@No-Quarter and in other news the sky remains blue.

@booboo the sky being blue is a social construct developed by the patriarchy as a way to keep women oppressed #skyispink #deconstructthepatriarchy

Was listening to a podcast about Russia when it all turned to shit and the communist took over, anyway when the reds seized power they got all the diplomatic cables , secret defence treaties etc and made them public to embarrass the former government they were still fighting with and their allies. The only newspaper in the Uk that really got into publishing the leaks was the Manchester Guardian which eventually became the Guardian we all know and love. Sometimes you wonder if they've developed a degree of self awareness like to parody themselves with opinion pieces like this

Boy, I love the Guardian. In a single minute of scanning headlines after reading the link @jegga posted above:

The businesswoman-turned-presidential adviser and her husband have accrued a high-value set of pieces that showcase an unlikely penchant for the rebel
Leftist darling Justin Trudeau once had a celebrity boxing match with a fellow politician - an indigenous man - and beat him. But that triggered the Oppression Olympics clause , so it was gleefully reported that Twitter went nuts:
“So ‘privileged white guy beats up Indian’ was the ‘right kind of narrative?’ Seriously?” wrote one person on Twitter, while another noted: “White guy in power & entitlement looks 4 an #Indigenous human to beat up so he looks like a strong white dude. How precious & colonial supreme.”
'Privileged' Justin Trudeau accused of colonialist attitude over boxing match
Account of how 2012 match against fellow politician Patrick Brazeau came about doesn’t square with vows to repair Canada’s relationship with indigenous people

Violently stabbed? Is that worse than a non violent stabbing?

@jegga on the movies where they quietly and gently push the knife into you as opposed to an angry agressive stab.

All the same I think no matter how they did it I'd consider anyone sticking a knife in me pretty violent .

Anything that covers up breasts is not good but if covering up is required then there are levels to which one should not stoop.
Nah, I'm pretty cool with any innovation which promotes the presentation of "under-boob", "inner-boob", "side-boob".
All terms which I'm sure I was using, and constantly imagining, before the kids-of-today burgled.
