maybe between the three of you, you could come up with a decent answer to the 3 questions i asked

the questions i asked were clear and straightforward. they are fair. if you can't answer them, you should maybe slow down. if you find yourself ducking them, maybe you should have a look in the mirror. are you here to to have discussions or build valid arguments? or are you relentlessly labeling people and coming up with reasons why you know everything, while not knowing everything. i can see why people in politics spin and duck things, but to do it anonymously on a forum is just weird

What up with people's expectation to have their questions answered? Maybe they were crappy or uninteresting questions and people were just being polite or saving their time for better questions.

What part of "70 gender identities on Facebook" do you not understand?
Mostly how he handles names if him, her, and they are too complicated.

Instead of answering your questions I'm just sitting back and waiting to see where you're going with any of this.

I don't care about your questions. You're the one trying to prove that "SJW"s are some totalitarian threat. If you want me to do your research for you, it'll cost you.

You're the one who's panic-stricken over pronouns. Pronouns? We're talking about pronouns?
03-16-2017 , 02:30 PM
Its hard to show respect and call people what they want...
03-16-2017 , 03:00 PM
Do you know how many combinations of first and last names there are?
03-16-2017 , 03:05 PM
Finding out superslug is an infowars slappy is all I needed to know.

It's legitimately great that Wil still thinks the left is "Destroying america" when they hold no power in government, when the guy behind all of Trump's policies has said many times in interviews his goal is to destroy the state, but the left is "destroying america." You see the budget just ripping up many, many institutions but the deplorables here think that calling people by the pronoun they want is worse for the country.

Could be that its not the complication and there is an underlying issue.

No, very curious question though. I like it.

This would be like people who argue gun bans, right?

What's great is the progressive left is out of government. The dismantling is happening. Your last line of defense is the courts, and we'll get them too. The media is on your side, however.

Give it time. Your side is still in shock. The deep, deep pain is still coming.
03-18-2017 , 04:29 PM


You're right. The pain is coming. Guess who is bearing the brunt? The people well off, with a degree, in big cities who overwhelmingly are against this moron aren't going to get hurt.

Yes, but what was the orientation of his body during the public performance of a patriotic song? That's what matters.

"so master, theres currently over 70 gender identities on facebook. could you educate everyone on the number of pronouns the bill has approved. the number of identities the bill has approved. and the process in which you formally become one of the identities requiring a new pronoun
i think this would help all these morons understand the situation better
thanks in advance"

Wasn't addressed to me, but if you're talking about bill c16 it doesn't seem to define gender identities in the same way that it doesn't define race, gender or sexual orientation.

http://www.parl.gc.ca/HousePublicati...&DocId=8609176


Though peterson isn't really objecting to the bill itself from what i understand, he seems to object to the university of toronto's interpretation which I can't find the documentation for. (got a link?)

I tried searching and the closest match I could find is for the toronto district school board,

http://www.tdsb.on.ca/Portals/0/Abou...20FINAL_1_.pdf

and they specifically recognize trans as the a single non-binary gender identity, with the ze/hir/they combination.

Which, if that is the precedence, that all non-binary identifying people be addressed by ze/hir/they, that it wouldn't be excessively pedantic or difficult to learn.


But even if uoft required an excessive list of pronoun combos - that's not what I see to be the recurring theme of the criticism jordan peterson is making. It seems he's arguing that the university shouldn't be able to tell him how to address people at all, even in the case of male/female.

Great thread here about harassment of women in the gaming industry:

That was good. It still amazes me that people take Gamergate seriously when the whole thing was based on a lie. It's amazing.

Speaking of discouraging women in certain careers, what woman would want to go into video game design when you could suffer random attacks from gaggles of losers with bigger tits than you and enough spare time to mount a years-long harassment campaign?

In some ways the term SJW is valuable. Few phrases are a better signal of a person's stupidity. It is a perfect filter to let you instantly know that the person who uses it can be wholly and completely ignored on every topic as they will have nothing of value to add to any discussion.
