I realise that, however its significantly less than women face.

So why belittle them? What possible good can come from it? Or are you so insecure in yourself that you have to diminish hardships of one class to prove some point?

Indeed. Thank you for identifying that human beings and non-human animals have different abilities and rights under the law. Now, would you like to say something that's actually on-topic?

"Bi-species" would mean that you were two species. Unless you are a mule, I find this unlikely.

Attempts to prevent linguistic change are bad, but I don't see what's bad about coining new words or using words in new ways. That's natural change.

obviously not


Wait, dating a trans man is less gay? I don't know what kind of warped ideas you need to have to think it's less gay to date the same gender.

Also, if it's obviously not gay to date a woman with a hysterectomy, why would it be gay to date a post-op transwoman?

Men are victims of patriarchy too.

I'm not against coining new words from existing vocabulary and roots, I'm against random gibberish being added to our language.

Well, I was a Sergeant, so yes I was a warrior. I'm trained in several technical fields so that fits.

I'm not liberal, feminist, socialist, or anarchist, though.

Do you throw ad homs around normally? Or is this some form of buzzword-bingo I'm not familiar with?

I don't think the intent was to belittle actual hardships faced by men, but simply to eyeroll at the ridiculousness of the notion that men face all the "societal hardships" while women are on a "pedestal."

I'm not belittling them, I'm saying that the notion that men are having all the societal hardships dumped on them is stupid.

Yeah, that's belittling. It's also petty.

Well they were always chemically interfertile. The only other criterion is that they won't interbreed under usual circumstances.

But as we know know, they were basically absorbed into the greater human population, which indicates the opposite. That the only factor preventing interbreeding was geography.

I understand why you're reading it as you are - I just think that in context, after a post saying that men face "the societal hardships" (the implication being that ALL societal hardships are on men), the idea was to scoff at "men face all the hardships," not "men face ANY hardships."

It didn't hurt you before you knew, why would you hurt her for telling you?
