Is framing issues in terms of "men and women" necessary in the 21st century?
A compound descriptor, saying that you fill two of the categories, is how I read that.

It’s not all that broad of a brush. White Christian Nationalists (White+Christian+Nationalist) is the intersection of three groups. It does not imply that all whites, or all Christians, are nationalists.

I think the list is flawed, but it’s not off-topic.

How is it a catch-22? There are actual physiological differences, and the system pays less attention to roughly half the population

Why you deleted my posts??? Your modern country will be lost.
Not really. A forum typically has an area of interest, and if you show up posting something outside that area of interest, their policy might just be to delete it. You weren’t posting about Canadian law in that screenshot. They also probably have other rules, as we do, about other aspects of posting. Soapboxing, for example, isn’t permitted here, and it’s what you are doing.

Is framing issues in terms of "men and women" necessary in the 21st century?
There are some examples of men and women being treated differently by the medical community, both in research efforts and in diagnosis and treatment. Studies that focused on men, and the tendency to discount pain complaints from women are two that pop to mind immediately. Not all symptoms manifest the same in women as in men (e.g. heart attacks) https://www.qualityinteractions.com/blog/what-is-gender-bias-in-healthcare Since this bias exists and there are gender-based differences, yes, such framing is necessary.

Why isn't polygamy a norm in modern society?
IOW, very recent and very brief in evolutionary terms. So it likely didn’t arise directly from evolutionary pressures. i.e. there’s no extended period where the genetic makeup of the population was shifted to favor this behavior. (are a lot of people descended from Solomon, et al?) It arose because of societal circumstances.

Would breaking up an asteroid before it hit Earth reduce the damage if all of its mass still hit?
It’s a matter of degree. It can be better but not avoid a bad outcome. Heating the atmosphere to 199 C instead of 200 C is better, 999 km^2 of impact crater is better than 1000. But the question asked was if you reduce damage. As to whether there’s any advantage of a defense system, it’s going to be “it depends” as iNow said. Above a certain size, you aren’t going to avoid a cataclysm.

That’s a screenshot from the Canadian Law forum. Different site, different user name. What in the world do you think we can do about that?

Lichtman's 13 Keys to the 2024 Election
So his current model has only predicted the last two elections (and that should be 2000, not 2020, for Gore) This suggests he didn’t predict the results of 2016 correctly. People were pretty satisfied with Obama’s governance, but some were dissatisfied with the color of his skin, and also there was foreign meddling. Is there a key for that? How about election rules regarding contributions, which changed drastically. Or changes to how voting rights were safeguarded? The problem with all of this is that correct answers can be gotten by accident; it’s like the octopus that predicted sports outcomes. There’s meager evidence that this works.

Irrational motives for disbelieving in a God
The reasons for believing are also irrational. I think not believing is not the same as disbelieving. A lack of belief can be based on no evidence existing, but an active disbelief requires either positive evidence or is irrational.

Can science find God
True and completely beside the point. No, it would not beg the question. The premise was already presented with a question about science finding God, so finding science is already a given here. Anyone is free to be willfully ignorant about science, but for them this question would not arise.

Would breaking up an asteroid before it hit Earth reduce the damage if all of its mass still hit?
The energy is the same, but it does take more energy to heat up water. An ocean impact can produce a tsunami. The atmosphere is pretty big, so that heating (as I’ve said) will be spread out in space and time.

Consider that a hurricane contains a lot more energy than a nuclear bomb and while hurricanes cause serious damage, they do not flatten cities. It’s dispersed in both area and time. Small bits of a broken-up asteroid will burn up in the atmosphere and never impact the earth.
