These competing gender and cartel torture quote ziggurats :lawd

What started as a discussion on cartel murder videos has evolved into me Instagram stalking the go go boys from the Latino gay club two blocks from my apartment.

I can at least tell you the more I talk to him the more I’m laughing at myself for ever being upset about anything he said about me
And now you've learned what everyone else here knew for quite a while. Now remember not to use his moronic opinions to generalize the rest of us as being that distinguished mentally-challenged. Same goes for Sloptimus.

Maybe they’re all strung out on drugs.

Hardly. If you have the stomach to behead one person, you have the stomach to behead them all. A lot of these folks are stone-cold. I don't deny that drugs may factor in a little, but I highly doubt it for a lot of these folks.

Not “relate” to the gender. AM the gender. Both, together, at all times.

Also I rarely, if ever, get offended for men lol.

This seems contradictory.

I'm a man and rarely, if ever, get offended for men.

Not sure why you think that would be contradictory.

To be precise, I didn't say it was contradictory, but seems so.

This disconnect for you, as it would seem to be for cream, is that you just don't truly realize or contemplate the male experience. For example, "men feel they can't express emotions" quickly followed by "male complaints are whining and reactionary".

If you're really being an active thinker then you poke at the seeming contradiction and then the real contradiction emerges.

Oh, stop. I obviously meant whenever men are whining about diversity or inclusion or afraid of “witch hunts” against them. The patriarchy has made it so that equality seems like oppression to them.

 There obviously many many legitimate reasons for a man to express his emotions.

the patriarchy

Cream, there's a good chance that most of what you've been taught is bullshit.

When you hear the word inclusion, is it often paired with a list of people and things that will be excluded in order to create an inclusive place?  And do those things tend to be "boys" or "men" things? Because we expect men to just deal with it?

In other words, can men only express themselves if its the proper and accepted emotions?

No that’s silly and I’ve never been taught that.  A lot of men need to be educated and society as a whole needs to chip away at all the societal norms and harmful effects of the patriarchy that we proliferate with each generation. I think harmful, dangerous people should be “excluded”, whatever that means. Still educated, but away from others.

You have been taught that, but your self-awareness is so poor that you can't recognize your own logic. Your responses are products of conditioned behavior. Read up on the history of this thinking. It's very, very bad.

I am curious where you got these ideas from. School? Social media?

I'll put an explanation of The Patriarchy below, but I am curious where you get this stuff.

spoiler (click to show/hide)
The Patriarchy as a feminist idea is a constructivist misunderstanding of evolutionary hierarchies which can occasionally end up oppressive but are not necessarily so by design. They are not socially engineered things, so trying to change them socially is either futile or homicidal. And oppression is very complex. It's a multi-factor experience of the advantages and disadvantages of various traits and circumstances, and many times one trait is an advantage while also a disadvantage. Oppression based views tend to rely on a naive idea of power as always monolithic and top-down. That top-down monolothic view is not how life works.

You are dealing in outdated ideas.

if a cartel cuts off someone's dick do they they become a woman or just bigendered?

 The genitals you have don’t determine your gender. So no to either.

The Rey stuff is fine. Good even.

TLJ is like if the Han and Leia stuff was boring and went nowhere in Empire. The entire other half of TLJ feels pointless and uninteresting. It dosent expand on the universe. Dosent push the plot anywhere. And the characters feel like they are just spinning thier wheels.

Cream actually shows up, people actually believe she (might) not be a troll and start showing sympathy (even though the very first thing she said about still waiting for her account to be approved is immediately shown to be a lie,) a long ass discussion of anarchism breaks out, then endless gender politics debates, and now people are defending modern day Star Wars.

How could such a series of events even happen?

What'd you expect? Some cartel member going: "Ew, ew, ew!" at whatever the fuck he's doing. Showing weakness in the video is basically a death sentence in that world.

Now I'm thinking that somewhere out there is a cartel murder video "blooper reel" with all the mistakes and stuff they had to cut out so they wouldn't look bad to all the other drug cartels.

It's an artificial way to create tension and ends with the weird message that one shouldn't question authority and blindly follow orders.

I missed that original post you’re quoting. I was trying to emphasize how mechanical and routine the attackers are. I’d expect at least a little reaction or cringey hesitation when you’re, say, cutting open the top of someone’s forehead and then using your hands to pull down and rip off their entire face.

Not telling Poe or the crew was a sign of incompetence. What she did was harmful.

I didn't see her as cowardly while watching the film. I just saw her as having no plan or having a plan she was hiding. It was 50/50. When we find out what she was up to then we realize the mystery is illogical and stupid. She endangered lives for no reason. You realize she is incompetent. The warp-shot doesn't help her either, because that play was there to use the whole time.

The Disney Star Wars films will be much better if they used the EU as a backbone while not outright adapting every single idea from it. Starting from zero feels that it was just done to calm JJ Abrams ego.

Being a hermaphrodite would mean I have both male and female biological sexual characteristics. Bigendered means my gender, not my physical sex, is both male and female.

"Gender" is a reflection of the structure of your brain. Men typically have "male brains" and women have "female brains". There's a clear physiological difference between the two (female brains have around 20% less mass, more gray matter, less white matter, and a slightly different overall structure), and that difference develops in the womb and can be easily determined in brain scans of infants, long before any social influence could manifest. Now, there are certain androgenetic mutations that can cause a male fetus to develop a female brain or vice versa, the most common of which only affects the impact of testosterone on brain development (the body already starts producing testosterone very early during pregnancy) and has no effect on muscle development, facial hair or anything else. Other mutations change the hormone balance altogether and can have more visible effects. People who are transsexual typically show those mutations, so that's a real thing, something a doctor could tell you just by looking at your brain or DNA. Transsexuals aren't special snowflakes, and if they are, it's not because they're trans.

With that said, there are indeed people who are both male and female, on a genetic level. Many of the mutations causing that lead to serious health issues, but the most common one, XXY trisomy, usually doesn't. And I would assume this mutation also affects brain development. So maybe you're that. Or maybe something else caused your brain to develop into some sort of "in-between" state. But no matter the cause, if you really perceive yourself that way, it's ultimately still physical. Free will is a myth, we're all slaves to our brains. The wiring of our brains determines how we perceive and process information, see the world, and ultimately, ourself. "Gender is a social construct", taken literally, is flat earth level mock science in my humble opinion. There are interesting discussions to be had about why boys are supposed to like blue and girls are supposed to like pink, that might be (probably is) a social construct, but this is not that.
