     My first suggestion to people would be to stop playing the blame game. I mean it's OK once in a while, but when it comes up in every other post, we have to consider it might be something else. Everything can't always be someone else's fault.

The MDL pushes the blame game relentlessly to push their agendas whether it be gun control, global warming, or identity politics.  Never seems to really bother those that favorably adhere to these views. I know, stop blaming the MDL for everything, all I can say is that their mythical label of being "progressive" is a joke.

also a joke, the idea that liberals/progressives don't understand basic biology or would call someone a nazi for citing basic biology.

   Nothing in this thread about anyone doing that. Did you misplace your current event or is this an exercise in imagination?

Biological differences between men and women.  Genders.  It all comes together under the heading of... DUH.  Men and women are different.  Always will be.  And they are the only two genders in this world, male and female.  But I am sure some will argue the facts.

1. 1.

   the state of being male or female (typically used with reference to social and cultural differences rather than biological ones).

   "traditional concepts of gender"

   synonyms:

   sex "variables included age, income, and gender"

   GRAMMAR

   (in languages such as Latin, Greek, Russian, and German) each of the classes (typically masculine, feminine, common, neuter) of nouns and pronouns distinguished by the different inflections that they have and require in words syntactically associated with them. Grammatical gender is only very loosely associated with natural distinctions of sex.

Sexes, if you prefer.  Or gender.  Whichever you wish.  The fact remains that there exist people today who believe there are more than two. And that the earth is flat.  And that vampires exist.  As in... believe it without any doubt in their minds.

my suggestion is that you research why the two terms aren't as interchangeable as you'd like them to be. but go ahead with the outrage.

Yes.  I am soooo outraged.  Oh wait... no, I am not.  Just find it amusing that people can be so idiotic.  But it seems to be a new trend.  Identify as whatever you desire.  I identify as Warren Buffet Jr.

Did I say anything about liberals?  "Leftist progressives" are much more into identity politics and government control of anything they do not like.  Do you have any proof that MDL Progressives understand basic biology?  The people protesting at this meeting seem to show otherwise.

 

Once outside, a woman was escorted to a bench by a police officer, and she said, “He's a piece of s**t. That is not OK. Even the women in there have been brainwashed!”

As she exited the building, she yelled, “F**k the police. Power to the people,” and raised her fist in the air.

A male protester said that people “should not listen to fascism” and that it should not be tolerated in civil society because “Nazis are not welcome” in society.

They used to be interchangeable, but then we "progressed".

  Some might, but what does that have to do with the topic? No one is arguing about the number of genders.

     Everything you said applies equally to the right. Just different agendas.

 

     I mean common sense would be that to the extent people have agenda's, they are going to be interested in their own. Are you trying to say the right doesn't have agenda's or that they don't push their own agenda's. What do you think they do then?

   Most media is reporting this was a planned demonstration against James Damore. IJR seems to be misrepresenting what happened here. Half the people in attendance were not even students, and the disruption was expected as the moderator alluded to. If you watch the entire video, you see the people who left/were thrown out are criticizing James Damore specifically, which is why the disruption started when they brought up the Damore memo.

 

  Damore's position that women are inferior to men as engineers is what is being reacted to. Now it is wrong to disrupt an event just because you disagree with the speaker,  however misrepresenting the position of those involved is not a better thing to do. For one, we don't know how many involved were actually students, and as you like to say Bill, let's not jump to conclusions.  And second, they are not reacting to the fact that men are physically larger than women, they are reacting because someone there actually thinks women are inherently inferior to men.

 

  

 

  

there ya go.

Hmm,

 

I guess you should have consulted MW.

 

Definition of gender

1 a : a subclass within a grammatical class (such as noun, pronoun, adjective, or verb) of a language that is partly arbitrary but also partly based on distinguishable characteristics (such as shape, social rank, manner of existence, or sex) and that determines agreement with and selection of other words or grammatical forms

b : membership of a word or a grammatical form in such a subclass

c : an inflectional form (see inflection 3a) showing membership in such a subclass

2 a : sex

• the feminine gender

b : the behavioral, cultural, or psychological traits typically associated with one sex

   You have brought up liberals, the left or the MDL in half your posts in this topic.
