    Even with web integrity, I don’t see anti-Adblock working. We’re almost at the point that client side AI can screen capture the web page and recreate it sans-ads.

    And there are probably simpler solutions to bypass anti-adblock
















  • I think your post makes my point well, actually. If the differences between people of a gender is so wide spread as to not matter in a personal level, it seems silly to be highly offended if you are referenced as the wrong gender. If someone calls one of us a brunette or blonde, I don’t think anyone would take great offense because it just doesn’t matter… gender seems like the same rule should apply.

    But, the ‘they have (non-marginal) differences but should be treated equally’ is the problem.

    If there are differences that matter, those should be considered.

    If there aren’t differences that matter, it doesn’t make sense to ‘care’ what gender you are.

    The two categories of people covered by ‘TERF’ for instance would seem to interpret your referenced study as supporting and opposing their views.

    (In practice, I understand that it basically never matters if someone is a man or a woman but upside of specific situations, mostly involving physical attraction. But I also just don’t ‘get’ why people try to create a ‘he’ or ‘she’ identity. I don’t really care if they do… it just seems like a contradiction.)


  • I agree with you; but the parent comment is accurately drawing a parallel. Both China and Canada have issues and both are worried about a strait which objectively isn’t ‘theirs’.

    The difference is

    1. China has bigger problems, but the strait is at least close; although China is being a bully
    2. Canada has lesser problems, and the strait is on the other side of the planet; but they seem to at least be defending the public good.

    Point being, tying this to China’s flooding is silly. If Chinas actions are dumb, it is for unrelated reasons.


  • That’s part of what I don’t understand about the whole ‘women and men are equal, there are no real differences’, held up next to ‘call me a [wo]man not a [wo]man.’

    It looks like one side is saying a persons behavior/likes/dislikes is tied to expression of genitalia, and the other is saying it isn’t. And these are often the same person saying both in different circumstances.
