Technically, they’re both Protestant whiskies - John Jameson was a Presbyterian.

It was a line from the Wire.

Whazzat?

I watch more than a few blacksmithing videos, a pretty apolitical topic.

I imagine my lack of political or religious viewing keeps that shit out of my feed, yeah. I just thought it odd that the studies returned quite different results.

Former Hollyoaks actor Daisy Wood-Davis has hit back at trolls after they targeted her son for wearing a dress at pre-school.

......

“I feel so passionate about this,” she replied. “Not just in case Asa wants to wear a dress one day, but to make sure he is never the child who bullies or puts another down for being ‘different’ – which seems to happen from such a young age, it’s scary.

“I can’t believe children’s innocence is taken away so early by gender-normative views which doesn’t necessarily mean a homophobic parent is at home but it’s a parent [who] doesn’t care enough to actively bring it up and discuss it with their child. Rant over.”

This was the only quote in the linked article:

“This is what is wrong with the world now. Is it normal for a little boy to wear a dress… no it’s not and personally I don’t want to explain to my son why other boys are wearing dresses. Are you also letting him decide what gender he is when he is clearly a boy?”

While I don't agree with the viewpoint expressed, and there's certainly goalposting there, it's an opinion. You've certainly had your own that were just as obnoxious, if not more so ... and you defended it as "speaking your mind".

It's not trolling when you do it. Uh huh.

My opinions are expressed here among adults. I'm not approaching little kids and calling them the little cunts they are.

Well, the opinion in the article was expressed online to an adult, much the same as yours here.

That makes your opinions not very different from that quoted in the article and posted to the mother online -- except you wished more folk had died, while they only objected to her child-rearing. It only shows that when you spew hate, it's okay, but when someone else says it and you find it obnoxious, you channel your inner hypocrite.

We're each clearly focusing on separate aspects of the issue. You just do you.

^As I understand it, this is a story about a B-list actress who put her son in a dress. Some people objected, some people were ok with it. How is this 'noteworthy news'? It's a nothing burger.
