  • and a senator is a LONG way off from the leader of the country.

    I love how this insanity is always what y’all turn to when confronted with direct evidence that you’re wrong. The guy who determines who to vote for exclusively based on gender, but only with the presidency, and is perfectly fine with evaluating women fairly in all other top government positions.

    It’s just a way to arbitrarily limit the dataset to like two points in order to draw whatever conclusion you want from it. It’s difficult to imagine any possible world in which we have stronger evidence that Harris did not lose because of sexism than the one we live in.

    But I understand that, as I said, it’s not about reason but fulfilling a psychological and rhetorical need. You’re not fooling me with this, “Actually, I’m super critical of Harris” in one breath and “she’s 100% my ideal pick” in another, it’s just a motte and bailey.











  • If you go around misgendering people, then no, we are not, and I’m in fact quite proud to not be “nice” about that.

    Let me put it to you this way. If I see someone with a clearly female profile pic and display name getting called masculine terms, I’m going to aggressively call that shit out. So you can either:

    1. Stop using a dumb app that removes your ability to see shit

    2. Don’t default to masculine terms for anonymous users

    3. Don’t get upset when you are called out for misgendering, just own up to it

    4. Block me because you want to go around misgendering people and not getting called on it.
