Well that's quite a mental
Image! And I'm not challenging anyone's right to self actualize - I certainly encourage it.
But it's not that I'm hung up on gender stereotypes it's just that I don't see how there is any gender 'experience' without being based on sexually stereotypes. Please just explain any such gender experience or characteristic.
Well I agree that feelings of bigotry don't get protection just because they're feeling. But it's an interesting point, no? What you ir I might feel is right or wrong is different than what other people might feel is right or wrong. Even if there was some sort of definitive right and wrong, people's feelings are what they feel. Thinking your feelings should be protected, but other's shouldn't seems a little hypocritical.
But I digress, what I'm really interested in is what things you think are gender characteristics (that aren't stereotypes, and aren't used to make judgments or enforce unfair rules).
Yes, I'd love that also. Anything to stop the killing. Of course we need security for all - if Israel completely withdraws, security would have to be provided by someone or else Hamas would just build up and attack like before.
To play devils advocate: Do you think we should invalidate people's feelings of hate toward trans folk?
Regardless, your first two points seems to conflict. The social construct of gender is based on stereotypes. How can there be any notion of a particular gender unless there are characteristics attributed to it? And any generalization based on such assumptions is sexist by definition.
I agree that some people just feel they are what they are and that's totally cool. Power to ya! But it is interesting to see the echos of conservatism hiding in these 'progressive' ideals, whether people want to admit it or not.
But if you agree that Hamas is despicable, why not call for it to surrender? You don't think it would stop Israel, but it could. No, you can't bring yourself to do that. Why? Because you don't want Israel to 'win'? The chance of saving children isn't worth that much to you?
Is it tho? If your body moves 7", the new position of your back would still be behind where your front was, at least for my fat ass. So you couldn't clear a wall. But if it's a problem to teleport into a wall, then it would also be a problem to teleport into the air where you're going. And if you left a sudden vacuum behind you, it would create a dangerous shock wave as it collapsed.
I think I was pretty clear that I don't support Israel.
But your minimizing the atrocities of Hamas doesn't help the situation. Israel has gone off the deep end, just like the U.S. is going. But to not recognize Hamas' desire to wipe out the Jews in Israel shows a very poor understanding of the situation.
No, they're shooting indiscriminately and not safeguarding civilians and if it's not a war crime, it should be. All the more reason for the people of Gaza to surrender - just like France did under blitzkrieg. Not a great choice to have to make but it's insane that Gaza doesn't surrender.
