  • This is super twisted and infantalizing to women to be honest. We don’t fight for equality by using equity logic that is faulty, we ask everyone, men and women to see women as equals in all areas of life. We’re strong, resilient, capable and independent, and you’re philosophy asks to maintain privilege ( not military draft ) because you think we face so much other issues, that you see that as equitable, but equity is often the incorrect solution to fairness, fairness is often blind, it says anything a man can do, women can do too. I want to be seen as an equal, not weaker. Women should be in positions of power, not protected and privileged, we are just as capable.






  • It’s difficult to explain this, but you’re wrong, there is no regional dialect that would pronounce the word this as this, because it is awkward.

    Both are interdental fricatives, but this is always done with a voiced dental fricative, a voiceless would be the way people pronounce thistle. Now try to say this place but say this without the le on thistle.

    I’m on mobile and can’t type out the IPA symbols, but I did take linguistics classes so I know the difference between the two phones, whereas you seem to equate the phones with their orthography.




  • It’s a frustrating echo chamber here. I’m trans and there is tons of extremism from specifically other people in my community. I’m left leaning ( left leaning centrist? ) and people are too tribal when it comes to partisan politics to see the extremity on their ‘side’.

    The modern political landscape sees people othering their ‘enemy’. Understanding them as ‘dumb’ or ‘terrible people’, with a complete lack of empathy for their humanity.

    Republicans are people too, frequently misguided, and that’s a sad thing. I feel sad for them, they deserve my pity, they are lost.
