  • I read that

    You could also frame it as liberals being on the side of religious freedom, though, which might include this shit

    No one is trying to take anyone's freedom. But that freedom includes participating in coercive, sexist, patriarchal practices designed around oppression, which is all that religion is. It doesn't make it a feel good or wholesome story. Religion is inherently bigoted because it enforces obedience through manipulation

    In any case, it’s sort of like, people decrying christianity at large as being shitty when realistically they just mean like, evangelicals, or catholics, or mormons, or jehovah’s witnesses, or maybe in some odd cases, quakers and mennonites

    No, ALL christianity is shitty. It's inherently shitty because its entire purpose is to subjugate through threat of eternal damnation (let alone literal threats and violence). There is literally no other purpose. And this isn't specific to christianity. It's inherent to all religions

  • If your argument is that dresses are the same level of subjugation as hijabs, you're either trolling or are completely ignorant. It's not really even comparable in this day. There is basically no pressure for women to only wear dresses anymore. And it's also not something that's imposed by a religious rule. It was more of a general patriarchal society issue, which we also have issues with.

  • They're basically exactly the same. Someone being generous about something that shouldn't have been an issue in the first place.

  • No one's talking about removing choice. But not all choices are equally valid. And many choices are coerced due to religious patriarchal structures which are not actually true choices

  • In the same way that posts about kids donating their money to pay off others kids school lunch debt, or charities paying for cancer patients care are bad because they focus on the positive to that specific person instead of the shitty situation that causes them to be in that position in the first place, yes

  • No. People who don't think sexist religious conservative values should be applauded. This is basically orphan crushing machine material

  • I mean, there is no legal reason that Biden could not just put forth more candidates for the supreme court, right now.

    This is the context of the thread. The size of the court is a law. It's not just something biden can "put judges forward"

  • What freedom do you have that you think this is infringing on?

    You really don't see the answer to this or are you just being intentionally ignorant. Would you feel the same way if the government banned lemmy?

  • Trump Media tells shareholders how to block their DJT stock being loaned to short sellers

  • I just would prefer that stocks for sale were to invest in a company to help it grow,

    Buying stock on the market has no impact on helping it grow. The only money that goes from investors to the company are from the IPO or any additional share sales, which aren't common.

  • Most of what you're saying isn't really a problem that affects anyone. You can still buy shares and collect dividends. How many shares short, or how often someone buys and sells a stock has 0 bearing on that. In fact all of that actually creates the liquidity that lets you buy fractional shares instead of having to buy in 100 share lots like you use to.

    And short sellers are actually pretty important to the markets. They keep companies honest by having an incentive to investigate and publicize frauds and overvalued companies. People put way too much weight in how much impact shorting has, or people trading derivatives

  • Why do you think short selling should be illegal? It's just borrowing shares

  • They're not barred. They simply can't compete. What is the competition that having a vagina at birth? What's the competition? What are the rules?

    Or is it arbitrary barring of people from spaces based on characteristics that have absolutely nothing to do with ability.
