  1. Actually, in the desert, I do not believe this will be very effective.
  2. Other than the very obvious such as boys and girls bathrooms, even though some guys occasionally "become" a girl for a while(actually, the pranks with that have mostly stopped honestly.), different locker rooms, etc. There have been a few points where it was very obvious that the teacher was implying that the girl should be able to handle it because a guy was able to handle a similar situation. However, in my opinion, the guy doesn't "handle" the situation so much as get through it. And if they both get through the same situation in different ways of processing it, then that doesn't mean there should be any reason to say a girl should be able to handle it because someone else did.
  3. It was more of a joke. That kinda flew over your head. Anyways. So, the next part is going to be controversial. But for now, you agree that boys and girls should not be expected to be able to handle the same problems the same way correct?
  4. Just to be clear on a few things before I continue on. I don't think women are dumber than men. Actually, I think the contrary for generalization. I agree women should vote and have equal rights and all that other stuff. I'm just wondering if the argument that women should be put to the same standards as men, especially in teenagers, is starting to push it.
  5. Alright. I largely agree with this actually.
  6. To their credit, I did do a quick search for the word and apparently, it's only ever been said in this thread.
  7. Most likely because I'm incoherent as well. 1. Evidently, I missed those trials and tribulations. 2. I can't agree with that more. 3. Unlikely, because most of the times you're seeing a therapist for something other than life and death. Or, you can just change your gender.
  8. One thing I learned avidly about inside of school is that boys and girls are one and the same and both are equal. Not only that, but they should also not be treated any different or thought of in any way that indicates that they are anything else but exactly the same. To this, I believe there was a change that should be looked into. When girls and boys are expected to be exactly the same they're held to the same standard. And I'll tell you this. There's a difference between guys and girls. Girls like certain things and guys like other things. This psychology article outlines 4 major differences in the brain between the male and female gender. https://gostream.is/film/star-trek-2009-3026/watching.html?ep=788729 At my school, there is a huge prevalence of depression. Extremely bad. There is a cause for this, and I'm starting to think that it's in the idea that boys and girls should be treated the same. Which is what I'd like to debate. That article shows some differences between male and female psychology. Given that there are differences, should they be held to the same standard as each other? And by standard, I don't mean like grades or stuff like that. I mean how they act, how they behave, how they think. Boys are expected to "ignore feelings" more than girls. But when they're told they're the same, and that girls are just as strong as boys and should deal with their emotions, this article suggests there may be a problem with that. So starting with a very simple detachment of what I originally wished to discuss. Should girls be expected to brush off their emotions like guys, should guys be expected to cultivate their feelings more, or should we let them go to operate how they are mentally wired to think? Does this create advantages/disadvantages, and is it possible this is a partial cause of the large depression epidemic in my generation? Genuine curiosity is still in ethics. Depression is a terrible thing to have and I know you wouldn't disagree. I provided an article, just now, and I'd like to know if you think treating them the same is contributing to larger depression rates or not. If it is, I'm willing to take the position that we should start to rethink the whole "boys and girls are the same" ideal. As for that random youtube video, it was meant to draw attention to the current setup of how my generation seems to think about gender equality. And that is that we're exactly the same mentally, and what one can handle, the other can handle just as easily.
  9. There are differences. But they're the same species. And the majority of differences are in hormones and physical differences.
  10. If I can pull up some references from other discussions where Republicans were called retarded can you give them warnings too?
  11. If that's what sexism was considered as by feminists, then that'd be great. At the moment, sexism is a guy sitting on a subway with his legs spread. Clearly. If you're male, you're evil. Because 100% of males send dick pictures when they aren't asked for them. Because 100% of males like the notebook, and are just afraid to admit it because we're too scared of appearing non-masculine. Because 100% of males love Beyonce. Because 100% of males make catcalls at women. Because 100% of males say that catcalls are okay by men because they can't control themselves(I've never heard a guy say this. Just saying.) Because 100% of males make jokes about women, and 0% of women make jokes about men(from what I've seen, both sides make jokes about each other. Most of them don't care. Except for some insulted males and some insulted females.) Because 100% of males think that if they're nice to a woman she has to sleep with him. You get my drift. Now, this video has been widely criticized. But, there are a few things I'd like to point out. A lot of the dislikes were most likely by men(you can disagree if you want.) 12.93% of people actually agreed with this video. Pointing to the large prevalence of feminists being much more radical than just a few of them being radical. I don't have anything against women. I, however, find something ridiculous about that video.
  12. What about transgender then? If a male is different than a female, should they be interchangeable?
  13. Anyways, back on track. If we can look at men and women as different, then does that mean it's sexist?
  14. https://thelibertarianrepublic.com/transgender-mma-fighter-destroys-female-opponent/ So not liberals?
  15. But that would lead to a premise unless I'm wrong.(I'm trying to use a logical system. Forgive me if I use this the wrong way). Premise 1: In some sports, women outperform men, and in others men outperform women. Premise 2: Premise one is a generalization, not a absolute. Premise 3: In sports where men outperform women, there should be different groups, and in sports where women outperform men, there should be different groups. To keep things on an equal playing field. So by premise 3, that would mean having different groups is appropriate, depending on the sport. But that leads to premise 4. Premise 4: A physically born male should not be able to compete with physically born females, and vice versa. As this would lead to unfair advantages/disadvantages. So I feel like all 4 of those premises are true. Do you agree?(Mainly I used the premises to show my train of thought since it's easier to say "premise 3 is wrong" or something like that than to try and pick out the particular part of it.) What?? You mean the multiple boys at my school going into the girl's bathroom as practical jokes aren't progress? What are you saying? Honestly, if they really really really want to be able to let guys into girls bathrooms and vice versa, they should make up some rules. Like, you can't switch your gender every day.
  16. I largely agree with this statement. I saw a story that a male fighter decided he wanted to identify as a woman. They allowed it and he went into the women's fighting group and proceeded to cause severe traumatic injuries to a woman he fought. She stated, "I've never felt so overpowered in my life." You have to note both of there people were professionally trained fighters. No some random dude against a trained woman. Or vice versa. Do you think this is perfectly okay that he was able to simply switch fighting groups or not? And if so, do you think it's okay that there are different groups for men and different groups for women inside of most physical sports?
  17. Not a political thing about if there is sexism or not. Just curious if you guys think there are differences between men and women that are simply unavoidably there.
  18. Saw it live, it was amazing. I'm really excited to see if it stays on the timeline, because that'd be amazing.
  19. Actually, arguments against is that we don't have enough money to do it for a long period of time. Over the course of decades. Not that government is always bad. Also, this isn't my argument, but trust me. I was raised in a nearly 100% republican valley. This is their opinion.
  20. Currently we vote. Is that not direct democracy?
  21. So..... You what you mean by this test is that you simply eliminate the ability for the other party to vote because they're stupid?
  22. I'm basically set for life now, and I find that it's not all that fun. I've lost a lot of motivation to keep going higher.

      If you are unhappy, there is no reason to stay in your current job.

      I have a path laid out. A very high paying job that I got after some crazy events unfolded that somehow landed me in front of a CEO of a multi-million dollar company. We were just talking though. Either way, for some incredibly weird reason, he decided that giving a kid an extremely high paying internship with the promise of a job after high school seemed like a good idea. So I accomplished what I had wanted to do most of my life: Get a nice, easy, high-paying job(internship currently). I do not plan on quitting my job right now. I plan on learning different stuff and attempt to jump to a different job.

      How did that happen? Trust me, you'll be happier in that job than any other you would acquire ''legitimatly''. Don't be too quick to judge things. There is no reason you can't succeed outside of your job.

  23. http://www.spacex.com/falcon-heavy But can it beat that? Lots of fuel, and basically brute force. But possibly one of the most effective rockets to date once they get it started.
  24. Had the longest time on the mechanical bull at the fair today. Doctor says my balls will return to their normal color within a few weeks.

  25. Solar power is about to become cheaper then oil for the first time ever somebody told me. Or already has.
