I find it interesting that when this topic comes up, it's never by a woman. It's men who think it's their job to 'protect' women that yell the loudest.

Having to use the restroom is a biological function,  is is not?

I was speaking more towards certain people deliberately misgendering trans people but you be disingenuous you.

You sound like a child.

So…I’m filled with a sense of wonder and conservatives aren’t allowed within 100 yards of me? Cool.

That's literally been our job since forever. It's not the women that get drafted when wars pop off, while the men had to stay and fight in Ukraine the women and children got to leave. Interestingly enough when all that was happening in Ukraine, you didn't hear not one peep from feminists...

Wow - shifted to the draft in Ukraine.

BTW - I am a veteran. I didn't get drafted, but I served.

Roughly 60 000 women serve in the Ukrainian military, more than 5000 in combat units. 

Which probably explains the non-peeping feminists.

Edit: bit of research: Ukrainian women, ages 18-60, are required to register for military conscription.

Unsurprising since they're continuing to conflate sex (biology) with gender (sociology), even after being corrected. It's almost as if they're willfully wrong.

I accept the biology because it is science. I reject the sociology of gender because it is postmodern bullshit. Trans women are pretend women.

And here's a few of them:




Because, like it or not, when your very fucking existence is on the line, the military can't really afford to just exclude a good-sized portion of competent fighters just because of traditional gender roles.

Yeah, that's compelling. /s

I don't need protection. What I need from time to time is someone to reach something on an upper shelf or in an upper cabinet. 'Cause I am very short. But in the event that a taller person isn't around, I can move a chair over and climb on it and get what I need.

Said tall person can be whatever they are or want to be as long as they aren't as vertically challenged as I am.

pfft - the idea that men need to protect women is something to make men feel important.
