@jocalynclark @paimadhu "The world is 6000 years old" "The world is 6000 years old" "The world is 6000 years old" "The world is 6000 years old" Did saying it 4 times make it true? Mantras are for religions.

@RokoMijic This sounds insane. People who clean toilets and take away the bins are not contributing much to GDP, but those jobs still need doing. You can't just fire everyone below a given productivity level and expect society to still function.

@iMayelaC @jk_rowling Sadly, belief in intersectionality has led to biological women being put last by feminist groups created by and for them. Yet biological women need their own representation, because they have unique issues and interests, sometimes opposed to those of trans people.

@wesyang Not so long ago, trans friendly schools would find the trans student a private place to get changed, a solution that respects their privacy and that of the other students. But that was not good enough for the activists. Teens must be forced to change in front of the opposite sex.

@wil_da_beast630 'Sex is a spectrum', 'sex is assigned at birth', 'there is no agreed way to decide what sex babies are'. That IQ tests, SATs etc only measure how good you are at taking tests. The Blank Slate - all differences between people are due to upbringing/environment/prejudice.

@wesyang It's interesting Ireland has gone straight from giving excessive power to the Catholic Church in government to giving excessive power to 'woke' authoritarians. Like there's a sort of cultural need for strictness that simply got transferred to a new set of beliefs.

@DrDebraSoh They don't need to learn about sexuality. They do need to learn about relationships. This is the big difference between sexuality and kink IMO. What you do in the bedroom should stay in the bedroom, but the person you are in a relationship with is unavoidably public knowledge.

@HHMusicOfficial @bigal_0 Probably because what makes a successful real life relationship isn't meeting a preset list of criteria. In internet dating, you use your list to rule people out; in real life you look at the whole person and rule them in, and maybe you realise some of your criteria weren't so

@Aella_Girl It's not a great analogy because beauty is multifactorial, and people weight different aspects of it differently. Ideally, you find a partner whose preferences you happen to fit, so they rate you higher than average, and vice versa.

@WEP_UK "Doctors later concluded the foetus was between 32 and 34 weeks gestation at the time of delivery." This was not a small mistake. The judge saw evidence that she knew she was well past the time limit for abortion, and the baby was easily old enough to survive outside the womb.
