The problem of SJWs

Post Reply New Topic

If you believe it appropriate to joke about male castration, it's also appropriate to joke about your framing of the joke as being informed by your womanhood. You might say it cuts both ways.

This was discussed on here about a year ago if memory serves. The article also briefly mentions several alternatives that also should hit the market within a few years.

If men were the ones to produce children there wouldn't even be a discussion. Anything that interferes with a man reaching his full potential is automatically too much of an imposition. Carrying a child would be viewed as a sacrifice on the man's part and his autonomy would not be questioned should he choose not to.

A vasectomy is not castration, and I wasn't joking.

Everyone diagnosed with autism, save for those who have recently suffered serious brain injuries placing them in a persistent vegetative state, experiences subjectivity and an ongoing sense of self and has cognitive abilities which far outweigh a pig.

The rest of your post seems completely irrelevant.

For avoidance of doubt, here are the things that I consider intrinsically worthy of the right to life:

- Humans aged over 90 days, except perhaps those in extremely advanced stages of some neurodegenerative diseases, some born with extreme neurological deformities (entire macroscopic structures missing), and some with extreme brain trauma which will prevent them from ever thinking again.
- Apes, (post-infancy and with the same exceptions above)
- Dogs, likewise (and likewise from here)
- Cats
- Pigs
- Cetaceans
- Any other animal reasonably determined to be capable of suffering and holding an ongoing sense of self
- Non-Earth lifeforms fitting the above
- Non-organic intelligences fitting the above

You'd discard the vast majority of them, in order to protect a few humans who are barely capable of cognition at all, and you act like you're the defender of life? You hold the moral highground? Please. I'll only accept being lectured on this by someone who holds a consistent view towards different life forms - for example, maybe someone who avoids using anti-bacterials.

I have a 70 year old friend who is partially verbal, a genius, my mentor, and a stroke survivor. He lives in an assisted living facility. He's been depressed since his stroke a couple years ago and has been barely speaking. Oh and he's autistic.

Okay so he has recently made a "lady friend" (I believe she is his girlfriend now) who started off as one of those volunteers who visit elderly people and cheer them up. She said she was told by the staff that my friend "can't talk" and "knows about electronics" and was described as mostly vegetative, with no information about his former life. He was a local celebrity in my neighborhood because he walked around and was a known expert on many random things. Lots of people were friends with him and talked to him at length before his stroke, back when he was able to walk and live alone.

So as soon as the lady talked at him a few times, she found out these things, and it appears fell in love with him?? He's doing pretty well now. He still can't walk, but I thought he was mostly back to his old self again- thanks to this lady.

I'm not sure how much this applies to ya'll's conversation. He's 70, so no one is trying to abort him, and he's not in a coma or anything, so it's not like there's a plug to pull. But he was unresponsive because he was choosing not to respond. Once the right person came along, he chose to open up again.

BTW- I'm told my friend showed no interest in other human beings until he was in his 40s and barely spoke until then. He is an amazing unofficial sociologist. No official training, but knows more than the professors I have worked with.

Very interesting guy....

Not at all, but it's a nice story.

Then think again. What you're proposing isn't going to happen.

That should be our foreign policy for the Middle East. Don't worry about Israel. Yaweh will protect them.

honestly, the compulsory aspect is a little complicated (because vasectomy is simple but not really trivial), but i don't mind the idea itself. it's not like just because something is mandatory that it magically turns into reality though, so it's not as simple as that, and that reality is simply impossible. but still, there could be incentives. it would be kinda like vaccination

in fact, what bothers me deeply is that when i went to see a doctor and i told him i wanted a vasectomy, he told me he wouldn't do it, because "i'm too young to make this decision". not "are you sure?", or "think about it and come see me again in a month". just "no" ("and probably no other doctor will do it either"). what the f**k?! am i a legal adult or am i not?

Yes, this is happens to both men and women and is wrong in both cases. I knew a woman who suffered terribly with endometriosis since puberty, but she was denied a hysterectomy until she was 35 because doctors kept insisting she might want children someday. She was in pain for two decades because other people thought her fertility should be their decision!

I think I've come to the conclusion that SJWS and anti-SJWS are two sides of the same coin

- They both complain when figures they like get attacked
- They both get offended by certain things
- They both whine constantly about each other
- They feel the need to identify with being with either movement
- Nothing productive happens between both sides

That's how I see it now. I'm in the middle of not caring about either side. I just do my own thing and keep to myself.

Of course it isn't. Men would never stand for their reproductive rights to be taken away like that.

Erm, the bleeding heart pinko side.

Reproductive rights? This is about the state doing bodily harm. That's a big no-no in most of the civilised world.

This is what I am saying about women. Arggggg. Forcing a woman to carry an unwanted fetus is the state doing her bodily harm.
