Remember when that was the worst thing he had going against him politically?

Changing designs due to market pressures isn’t censorship. Remember the Sonic movie, where they redid the animation due to criticism? Nobody was outraged at that change but when it’s tits, all of a sudden people care.

Isn’t that the definition the house just voted to change? Not sure it’ll go through the senate or not

I can’t imagine anyone buying this without wanting to make it public. Like… what would be the point?

Cop turned politician, why wouldn’t you believe him?! /s

Who specifically said “men are more dangerous than bears” and in what context was that said?

Also, multi-gender restrooms are exceedingly rare. I think I’ve seen truly multigendered one in my life. Who is advocating for that? Are you referring to individual bathrooms that allow anyone to enter? It’s one room meant for single occupancy.

Edit: in case anyone wants to read the article that I think OP is referencing: inews.co.uk/…/women-rather-stuck-forest-with-man-…

Funny, visiting someone else’s university is where I saw that. It was a highly regarded liberal arts college in New England. Still, I’d call that super rare.

The bear thing seems a bit exaggerated. Not sure what hair color has to do with this

Did you read the article? It doesn’t seem hyperbolic. Just an explanation with humor.

This should be a very easy question! I want to say the man, I really do, but I can’t shake the idea that I would be safer with the bear. I am not sure if it is men or bears that are being most maligned in all of this, but there is no denying that is this a very revealing question

The beauty of the question lies in its vagueness because that forces you to work with averages. On average, is a woman safer in the woods with a man or a bear?

Let’s start with the bears. Bear attacks are highly sensationalised but rare… Black bears attack and kill around one human per year in America, and because of humans encroaching on their territories, black bear attacks are on the rise in Japan.

Bears generally leave humans alone and will alter their behaviour to avoid us where possible.

On average, two women per week are murdered by their partner or ex-partner in the UK. According to the UN, 55 per cent of all female homicides worldwide are committed by intimate partners or other family members, at a rate of five deaths every single hour.

71 per cent of women of all ages in the UK have experienced some form of sexual harassment in a public space

A bear will act like a bear. It’s predictable and it’s going to avoid you if it can. It’s not going to pester you for a date and then monologue about the Godfather trilogy.

Then there is the fact that if I was attacked by a bear, no one would tell me I was making it up. I wouldn’t be asked what I was wearing, if I was drunk, or what I had done to provoke the bear

humans kill far more bears every year than the other way around. The thought experiment is fun but flawed as it sets up a false dichotomy. Humans don’t live in close proximity with bears like we do with each other.

It literally walks you through the points and ends on a realistic, somber note.

Maybe you missed my edit where I included the ending. You definitely missed the main point of the article

Let’s highlight the actual points in this article instead of taking Hexbear at their word:

emphasizing that violent protest is not protected under the law.

Biden emphasized that “peaceful protest is in the best tradition of how Americans respond to consequential issues”

“Whether it’s antisemitism, Islamophobia or discrimination against Arab Americans or Palestinian Americans, it’s simply wrong… In America, we respect the right and protect the rights for them to express that, but it doesn’t mean anything goes. It needs to be done without violence, without distraction, without hating and within the law.”

The president also said “no” to a separate shouted question asking whether he thinks the National Guard should intervene in the campus protests.

To summarize, he respects their right to protest and called for nonviolence without citing any side in particular. Notable that there have been violent counter-protestors.

The sad thing is that actually is an improvement. Not sure I’d say Milei is a success just because he someone slowed the peso’s decline though

They can’t keep it in place because they don’t control both chambers in Congress

Does it? It’s not like we have zero supportive communities.
