it’s a medical procedure that tries to keep dudes from getting gross shit all up in their dicks. it’s a health thing.
It's not. There's no health benefit to circumcision. The idea that it's impossible to clean under the foreskin is ridiculous. And those saying that it's extra effort: Would you amputate an arm so you don't have to clean your armpit?
Circumcision is mutilation. If it happened to you, it doesn’t mean you are deformed or abnormal. But you need to understand what was done to you was wrong, and it should have been your choice. You need to understand it was wrong so you don’t allow it to happen to your children.
Even if it was done for religious reasons. Even if you are glad it was done. Your right to your body, and your right to determine what happens to it was summarily violated. Stop circumcision.
I’ll gladly reblog, and gladly ignore the notes making long ass excuses for circumcision that amount to name calling, appeals to bigger issues, bitching about the usage of the word “mutilation”, and the always unforgettable, “I only have the vaguest notion of the medical research behind this, but really I just don’t know how to handle a baby with an uncircumcised penis.”
Nobody check the notes. Even me.
I could argue the facts but really, it won’t change yours or anyone else opinion @judgingeternity.
I’m a proponent of male circumcision and if others choose to disagree, then that’s fine. It’s a free country.
There's a limit to the freedom you have, and that is where the liberties of others begin.
Much like you're not allowed to cut off someone else's finger, you shouldn't be allowed to cut off someone else's foreskin.
Including atheism.
I don’t care if you don’t believe in any gods, you can’t exactly disprove the existence of any gods.
That’s not how any of this works
Lets assume that the way a god works is by building a structure of the universe and letting it play out. Now try proving it doesnt exist
You can’t prove a negative.
@the-prequal atheism’s not a religion, you dope. It is a lack of belief in a god or gods. That’s literally it.
You prove a negative by not finding evidence for a positive.
But if you lack the method needed to find the evidence to prove it, you also cant disprove it. Its like discussing the possibility a continent in an area no one can reach.
If you claim there’s a god, it’s up to YOU to prove it. You can’t just tell people to prove it doesn’t exist when they tell you to prove that it does.
By that logic, I could claim that Cthulhu exists and I would be right because no one can disprove it. See how little it makes sense to do the same with God?
Conversely though, claiming that there -isn't- a god would also require you to prove it. A negative statement still has to be proven before it can be accepted as fact.
Wholesome and badass
The father’s artistic talent is clearly on display here, but I’m actually really impressed with this kid’s wild imagination. Many of his drawings are both conceptually unique and coherent.
I wanna see more of that crystalline gentleman!
THAT IS A DRAGON
here have some more nonsense.
this is after she gets back from the underworld. ;P
This is adorable
This reminded me of a study I read about in Cordelia Fine’s book Delusions of Gender:
“Kristi Klein and Sara Hodges used an empathic accuracy test in which participants watched a video of a woman talking about her failure to get a high enough score on an exam to get into the graduate school she wanted to attend. When the feminine nature of the empathic accuracy test was highlighted by asking participants for sympathy ratings before the empathic accuracy test, women scored significantly better than men. But a second group of women and men went through exactly the same procedure but with one vital difference: they were offered money for doing well. Specifically, they earned $2 for every correct answer. This financial incentive levelled the performance of women and men, showing that when it literally ‘pays to understand’ male insensitivity is curiously easily overcome.“ (Emphasis mine.)
(An endnote also states that “Men also scored equivalently to women when the sympathy rating was requested after the empathic accuracy test.”)
The passage goes on to add
“You can also improve men’s performance by inviting them to see a greater social value in empathising ability. Cardiff University psychologists presented undergraduate men with a passage titled ‘What Women Want’. The text, complete with bogus references, then went on to explain that contrary to popular opinion ‘non-traditional men who are more in touch with their feminine side’ are regarded as more sexually desirable and interesting by women, not to mention more likely to leave bars and clubs in the company of one. Men who read this passage performed better on the empathic accuracy task than did control men (to whom the test was presented in a nothing-to-do-with-gender fashion) or men who had been told that the experiment was investigating their alleged intuitive inferiority.“
In other words: men aren’t necessarily worse at sensing and understanding others’ feelings than women are; it’s just that quite a few of them don’t feel the need to put for the effort unless it profits them in some way… and perhaps don’t want to show too much empathy, because doing so would make them feel less masculine/manly.
I wouldn’t even say “unless it benefits them”, it’s more “unless it benefits the situation”. Men are less likely to put stock in emotions if the emotions either can’t change the situation or will end up making it more complicated than necessary.
This says absolutely nothing about men and their ability to have empathy or not, since that’s not truly what this study answers or proves, despite people misconstruing it to mean that, it’s more a commentary showing that men are able to weigh emotion and reality in a more regulated manner regarding how its inclusion is appropriate or inappropriate to the situation.
this ain’t it brah, maybe this is what men tell themselves but the toxic male prepensity for violence shows that men act irrationally all the time.
Hmm no.
so “men are always unreasonable” but agnostic-gnostic doesn’t see how unreasonable and mental dirt that is that sentence?
Almost as if they’re scoring low on empathy…..
I like the part where they didn’t even have a counterargument, just “no, you’re wrong, men lack empathy”.
And, of course, the men who are violent are an overwhelming minority of men. In the US, they’re disproportionately black. But I think Aggie would suddenly have a few complaints if I started to use their own stupid lolgic to generalize black men, not just men.
Radfem: acxually there’s no difference between “male and female brain” this is just a patriarchal construct totally made up by genderists uwu
Radfem: men are literally incapable of having empathy because they are men
Question for all the men on here:
How could it?
I honestly don’t know but the radfems and like 78% of Tumblr seem convinced that they can hate people to their side.
They’re thankfully not interested in luring people to their side, they’re after a short-term dopamine boost they get from righteous fury and wrath and feeling innately superior to other people
Hatred is its own reward.
And about half of its own consequences.
Its own addiction.
Anyone else see this study and think ‘you know what? This explains a lot of the crazy end of feminism and the damage that the removal of the father figure has done to children and subsequently the society that those children grow up to form?’
getting ready to joust at hole depot :)
home depot* jesus christ
THE HOLE DEPOT
It'll be a hole depot by the time this shopping cart is done with it!
If only everyone thought like he does!

Now that's a blast from the past!
adult man to woman: “you should leave your boyfriend for me :) I could treat you better. Please date me.”
14-year-old lesbian to straight girl peer: “omg honey you should date girls, boys are gross”
Lesbophobes: “Yes, This The Same Thing Actually. These Scenarios Are The Exact Same. Predatory Lesbos Will Get Me. Lesbians Are Like Straight Men.”
Yeah both of those sound fucking nasty to me. It’s gross and predatory to tell anyone they should be dating you/ANYONE when you know full damn well they are not attracted/interested
But also, funny how characterizing all straight men as the absolute devil just for being straight men makes people also jump to say lesbians are just as bad bc they have the same attraction…almost like it’s nonsensical and harmful to demonize people that way lmao
As a lesbian, both of those scenarios are digusting. Telling a straight girl that she should like girls because “it’s so disgusting to like boys” is not okay. Have you forgotten of the fact that people’s sexual orientations can’t be changed?
Also, to me, saying “you should like girls, liking boys is so disgusting” to a straight girl is not that far from saying “you should like boys, liking girls is so disgusting” to a lesbian
I’ve never seen a point missed harder.
Then please explain to me the point that I missed
You didn’t lol. You’re right on that shit
OP is being deliberately misleading and blaming people for “missing the point” for comparing an adult to a child…
When in reality it should have been an adult man to an adult woman.
ah yes… now the loser with “loli” in their URL is going to preach to us
anyway y'all dumb as shit and don’t grasp the point that lesbophobes making false equivalencies was literally what the post was about. nobody was saying the behavior was acceptable but that shit ain’t the same between two kids as as it grown-ass adults and should be addressed differently. learn to think critically.
If anyone is dumb OP, it’s you because you’re comparing an adult to a child and making it sound like people who have issue with predator lesbians (including other lesbians) are just comparing issues between children and adults.
A child who behaves in a predatory way towards their peers should be called out just like an adult would be. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You’re post is basically saying it’s okay for children to do it because children are innocent
you’re literally a pedophile sympathizer so maybe consider dropping dead, and also learning to read because… again, not the point of the post! i don’t know how explicitly I need to state this before you freaks grasp it.
>Pedophile sympathizer
OP, just admit you’re a hypocrite and go.
Seriously OP, just realize you fucked up and nobody, not even people in the fucking LGBT+ community is buying this shit.
Note how the OP had to put in a 4+ year age gap between the two scenarios, STILL had to put in the word ‘peer’ to make it sound less creepy/predatory, and STILL failed to make it not look gross. They had no point to begin with.
Some tutorials from: https://twitter.com/eyecager/
“You’re either one of those LGBT Christians who wants a pride flag in church and doctrines changed or you’re a real Christian struggling with sin who hates yourself every day” Hey buddy? Fuck you.
Maaaaaaassive distance between ‘not being a dick about someone else's sexuality’ and ‘adopting someone else's sexuality as a core tenet of your religion’.
Also, Christianity teaches not to judge, so how about not judging people for being homosexual?
International Men’s Day? Hard pass. I honestly cannot think of a single societal issue that is directly tied to me being a man.
I’ve been thinking about this argument, and
even if that is the case, why is that a reason for you not to acknowledge or celebrate international men’s day?
“I honestly cannot think “
Fixed.
You’re wasting your time he’s just a self loathing little boy
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family.
What a fucking joke this world has become.
Oh but it doesn’t end there:
Yes, thats an op ed. on it in the Aussie equivalent of the BBC.
Somehow they manage to ignore the mountains of male NPCs killed.
“ This includes physically assaulting and killing the female character, a suffragette, who symbolises the early feminist movement advocating for women’s voting rights. “
Suffragettes were English and belonged to particular group, one which didn’t exist at the time this game is set.
“ As in previous Rockstar games, RDR2 gives players the option to kill female characters that represent women’s suffrage, without repercussions. “
That’s not even a good lie.
“… allow for violence against female characters. “
As opposed to violence against male characters, which is actively encouraged if not mandated.
“… in the wake of the #MeToo movement …”
I cannot begin to describe how irrelevant #metoo is to anyone outside of hypocritical feminism, Hollywood and the media.
No one cares. Nothing has changed. There is no reaction.
Also keep in mind that the female NPC is legitimately wildly sexist in what she spouts, calling men as a whole unfit to rule and blaming all problems on the male gender, from what I've seen.
OMG THAT’S SO CUTE 😍😍😍
