ObjectivityIncarnate

The last sentence of my comment is my contradicting an assertion they directly made, with the information that backs up that contradiction above it.

The fact that the University of Pennsylvania swimmer soared from a mid-500s ranking (554th in the 200 freestyle; all divisions) in men’s competition to one of the top-ranked swimmers in women’s competition tells the story

In the 100 freestyle, Thomas’ best time prior to her transition was 47.15. At the NCAA Championships, she posted a prelims time in the event of 47.37. That time reflects minimal mitigation of her male-puberty advantage.

During the last season Thomas competed as a member of the Penn men’s team, which was 2018-19, she ranked 554th in the 200 freestyle, 65th in the 500 freestyle and 32nd in the 1650 freestyle. As her career at Penn wrapped, she moved to fifth, first and eighth in those respective events on the women’s deck.

Removing the records set while competing in women’s events seems justified in this case.

Mailing someone more letters than they’re capable of replying to is not equivalent to, nor a component of, gaining access to the inside of their home.

This take generally comes from looking at the profits of successful drug X, while being unaware of (or ignoring) all of the drugs that have millions upon millions put into their R&D, that never result in anything that can go to market.

Overall profits will seem much higher than they actually are if you leave out that very-relevant data.

No thanks, I value my time.

Youtube acting like it has anything to offer

This is weapons-grade copium, there is no other platform with even 1% of the content on YouTube.

The 10% of the time when it’s both folded and unfolded must be sublime.

he should’ve been charged with at the very least, reckless endangerment. The fact that he wasn’t hit with that charge is an absolute fluke of legal work.

He was the one endangered, aka put in danger by others! What the fuck are you talking about, lmao?

Yeah, this is a flex of naivete re PayPal, more than anything, lol

Not to mention it’s 4 years old.

I thought he was just in character.

Watch out for those sexually dransmitted illnesses

Why are you proposing scenarios other than the ones I used to specifically exemplify the fact that the measure of sexual assault/rape was massively overinflated?

Do you think “but what about the situations that are rape” is a counterargument to that? My point is that they counted a lot MORE in ADDITION to those legitimate scenarios, and that’s why such a scary number was arrived at.

The bottom line fact is, no survey etc. that doesn’t massively dilute the definitions of those terms has ever or will ever reach a conclusion like “1 in 5 female college students have been sexually assaulted or raped”. There is a reason that figure isn’t being thrown around anymore these days–it’s been debunked thoroughly.

In my college there was a flyer in the restroom about how something like 1 in 6 women will experience sexual assault or rape.

And that was shown to be complete horseshit arrived at by defining ‘sexual assault or rape’ in a survey more broadly than any reasonable person ever would.

It’s similar to the survey in the 80s all the ACABers cite to claim 40% of cops are domestically violent–in that survey, even if a voice was raised one time in the past six months, and it was the cop’s spouse yelling at the cop, that survey dumped the relationship in the domestic violence bucket. Big surprise that 40% figure has never been replicated since, lol.

One example: at the end of a first date that you weren’t really feeling, the guy goes in for a kiss and you decline? Guess what, even if he ‘graciously’/completely accepts the denial and the date ends without incident, that went in the “sexual assault” bucket, regardless of whether the woman herself felt anything bad had happened.

Ever had sex while less than stone cold sober (keep in mind the entirety of the surveyed considered to arrive at this figure were college students)? Survey says you were raped. Doesn’t matter if you were just tipsy, doesn’t matter if you and your partner were equally drunk, doesn’t matter whether you think you were raped/assaulted, nope, we decided you were.

Stuff like that is the only way to get to a figure so absurd.

You said something stupid, and it was identified as such. That’s not being offended.

Though the fact that you had to assume several things about me personally to rationalize the way you behave, as your ego is apparently just too fragile to conceive of the possibility that YTA, says a lot, and makes me wonder if you’re available in IMAX.

What’s your source on that? Your arse?

Good luck finding a single source in any country that has females being on the receiving end of violence more often than males per capita, overall.

I think you’re an incel who hates women and doesn’t care about violence against them.

That’s because you’re enough of a fool to think caring about male suffering is misogynistic. All I did was point out your deliberate blindness to the suffering of half of humanity, by describing the half that is assaulted and killed less, as the half with the ‘epidemic’ of violence against them.

It’s like when the reaction to 11% of journalists killed the year before being women is to say “stop targeting female journalists”. You’re so deeply sexist that the 89% who are male don’t even land on your radar.

Men don’t deserve empathy.

You’re sexist scum.

You know what else is an epidemic? Violence against women and girls

Men and boys are victims of violence at an order of magnitude greater frequency, you just don’t care because you hate males, so only female suffering bothers you.

Misandry isn’t a problem compared to misogyny, and likely wouldn’t exist if there was no misogyny

This is what peak anti-male sexism looks like.

“Who cares?” Yeah, not your pathetic, empathy-free ass, you’ve made that abundantly clear.

For shame.
