That's just your white privilege talking, complaining about paying your fair share. Hashtag sofragile.

We got kicked out of Scotland after that William Wallace unpleasantness. Apparently we backed the wrong horse. Then we got kicked out of Northern Ireland. Some of us did, anyway, one of our clan went on to lead the Ulster Defence Association. Then we had to leave Delaware and move South because of that silly ban on slavery.

So I'm owed, BIG TIME.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Calling something "seminal" (as in a work, or study or discovery...) https://thesocietypages.org/cyborgology ... ts-sexist/ - totally sexist.

I watched a news show yesterday where a college guy from UW-Milwaukee was on discussing this effort. He was unable to get through the interview without using some of the words on their microaggression list.

Maybe we should just call a groundbreaking publication in a field "ovumnal" rather than seminal. That might make them happy.

Twas once that liberals opposed the whole concept of free speech zones, which was created by politicians to move protesters far away from the people they're protesting..... now, the left has embraced free speech zones, and they are now there to preserve "safe spaces" for the "marginalized..."

there is a point here - having a penis doesn't make one male anymore. Gender is fluid and a female body born person can be gender male. So, a gay "male" who won't date someone because they have a vagina is transphobic and misogynistic, because that vagina-possessor may be a male....

So gender is a 'life-style choice' then?

Sometimes I get the feeling you believe your own irony.
