  • Tennessee woman denied prenatal care for being unmarried

  • I hate how religious people are given permission to discriminate. Someone else's religion has nothing to do with me. I shouldn't be constrained by a religion that isn't mine and if someone can't provide care based on their religion, then they have no business being in the profession. None at all.

  • Nah, he'd still do it because he's that much of an evil dumbass.

  • They will say no especially when they hear his dangerous it is. My uncle fell off the roof and ended up with a hernia. It took forever to do the surgery to fix it. And really, 300k? How expensive do you think that's going to make a house? As much as I hate the idea there's only so much that you can charge for something. We'd have to somehow go after the corporation for unprecedented profit in addition to raising wages.

  • The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong

    Jump

  • You're adding parameters to say that women don't have as much endurance as men. Have a race in which everyone has to run the same speed and see how long they can do it. That is true endurance. You can't add parameters and say it's a true test of a single one.

  • The fastest marathon time for men is 2 hours 1 minute and for women it is 2 hours 14 minutes.

    "Fastest" does not mean the best endurance. You would be looking at the "longest".

  • The Theory That Men Evolved to Hunt and Women Evolved to Gather Is Wrong

    Jump

  • That's a ton of assumption and reductionism. This is frankly insulting. Your primary argument that endurance is meaningless only makes me think that it comes from many current popular sports that rely on fastest speeds rather than what the article was actually trying to convey. Women in the past could have and did hunt, especially given that many in several different cultures were buried with hunting weapons, and the article used the scientific nature of a woman's body to prove her endurance. Just because you discount endurance completely doesn't mean the rest of society is so closed minded.

  • Better doesn't always equal faster.

    Better can equal going further.

    Better can equal being more efficient.

    Efficient means using less calories to do the same thing.

  • Parents Sue Gaming Companies Over ‘Video Game Addiction’, Because That’s Easier Than Parenting

    Jump

  • It's also like when you ignore that video game makers research and develop how to make their game as addictive as possible and ignore an entire thread talking about it. Oh wait...

  • A Black student was suspended for his hairstyle. The school says it wasn’t discrimination

  • Ah yes, let's police everyone's hair. Surely it won't matter when we decide your hair is unacceptable and you must change or leave.

  • I think my human might be an idiot

  • Cats meow in the same register that human babies cry. They aren't saying that cats are specifically trying to cry like a human baby, but that cats as a species have grown over thousands of years to meow in the same pitches as human babies.

  • I think it's crazy the number is people here who think that jail/prison is supposed to primarily be about punishment. Do they not understand the concept of recitavism?

  • Pornhub Sues Texas Over Age Verification Law

    Jump

  • I don't really know what the answer is either, but you're right. The extremes we see in porn today are very concerning. The things you listed shouldn't be in main stream porn and need consent and open conversation outside of sex before adults who understand what they are doing actually do them. I find it crazy that it's made its way into mainstream videos and blame the idea of things having to be ever crazier, ever more extreme to get attention.

    But blocking teenagers off from porn, or trying to, won't help anything. I think we need to be open, honest, and have real sex education. I also think these things are why some sex ed now includes actually how to have sex rather than the physical components. But that serves to give the prudish more ammo of how sex education is porn itself even when meant to be purely educational and combat these extremes people are seeing. There's so much nuance to the issue that I think a lot of people get bogged down on one part or on their own preconceptions.

  • Edit: oh, something that really changes how these stats are viewed. The poll was conducted solely by phone.

    I do think it's worth noting that they specifically polled swing states. It's a bit different imo to address political stances in specifically swing states and to use that to judge the beliefs of society overall. I think it's also worth noting exactly how they phrased the questions. These answers also make me think that these aren't really swing states at all. I'm appalled by them.
