Good reporting here by Cathy Young on the UNC campus rape story

Is UNC Campus Rape Heroine Actually a Campus Rape Hoaxer?

I hope someone told her to take off her glasses.

Given what Jamil said about her profession, she had better keep the glasses...and get some side shields.

Anyhoo, there is a vocal portion of the deaf community that is against treatments for deafness. Don't know the percentage. Doubt it's most.

Like any other group of people, those just going about their lives and not yelling about themselves don't get noticed.

1. About "side shields". Did we stumble upon a barrister's fetish? Never mind. I don't want to know.

2. I often wonder if we were to converse face to face, I can expect to hear "anyhoo" as often. I think I'd be disappointed if not.

3. Interesting that an apparently "hearing" person feels she needs to speak for every deaf person. Maybe to her, the "deaf community" only comprises the people who think her way.

You guys see that video over the weekend of the deaf baby getting cochlear implants and hearing for the first time? Great right?

No. That's problematic.

How dare you treat deafness as a thing that should be fixed.

Her argument is since "many" people consider this not to be a disability that ought to be fixed, then no parent should snatch that disability away from their child? I gotta wonder of all the people that have had their hearing restored, the percentage that have regretted it. I'm betting that number is approaching zero.

Older story, but suitably rage-inducing.

This ***** filed a false sexual assault claim, putting the man in jail for 4 years. Repercussions? She gets a two month weekend service-only sentence.

Well, the other problem with false allegations, is women that really have been raped have to deal with people remembering idiots like this.

If one were so inclined, the question could be changed to... if you are a gay female, why the hell would you WANT to date a woman with a penis?
But then, some people's head might explode.

Oh, I totally agree. I didn't mean to single out anyone in particular...I probably could have worded that better.

I didn't think you singled anyone out.
I just expanded on it.

****in' wow.

Netflix Edits 'Bill Nye' Episode to Remove Segment Saying Chromosomes Determine Gender

Gasp!

But politifact (or maybe it was snopes) said that they could not find any evidence that Bill Nye ever said that chromosomes determine your sex.

Technically, I guess they're still right. He didn't actually say it himself on that show. But that's pretty ****ing dishonest.

The screencap spread around was inaccurate. The 1996 episode, however, did say that chromosomes determine if you're a boy or a girl.

I'd give Nye a break if he was talking about the very rare but clinically-accurate gender dysphoria situations. But given the super-cringe performance on his new show... it's obvious they're pandering to the very fake rebellious "gender fluid" fad nonsense.

Also, as long as history revisionism is popular.:

Sometimes I get the impression every right-thinking person is being trolled by these clowns.

From an article at Mic.com, re: The ACA repeal not covering sexual assault cases (due to being pre-existing conditions):

"
Other conditions like postpartum depression, being a survivor of domestic violence or having gotten a C-section could also be considered pre-existing conditions.
"Most of the people who have C-sections identify as women, so that's a shorthand for a gender discriminatory policy," Physicians for Reproductive Health advocacy fellow Dr. Diane Horvath-Cosper told Elle."


"I see the benefits of ACA every single day," she told Elle. "I saw patients in my practice who had not been able to get health insurance for five, 10 years finally come in and get care because they could finally afford the premiums, or get maternity coverage."
She added, "A majority of people who get pregnant identify as women, so that's gender discrimination, straight up."


I don't know many males that can have C-sections or that can get pregnant...

So. Let me get this straight. Anything that might prevent a woman from getting what she wants is automatically gender discrimination. "Straight up." Can't be any other possible reason. So, there's no fathomable reason they didn't cover those thing other than straight up gender discrimination. Because they obviously HATE women. There can't be any other reason.

What ****ing morons.

The sexual assault "pre-existing condition" nonsense came from a CNN article with two or three anecdotal examples from BEFORE ACA....

Which also operates under the assumption that this bill was repealing ACA and returning things to exactly how they were before ACA...

There is NOTHING in this bill (which doesn't even matter, since this bill is unlikely to be what passes the senate) about sexual assault. It's just an anecdotal assumption.
