  1. fMRI studies have demonstrated differences between "male" and "female" brains.

    Unfortunately most "transgenders" have females brains and can't understand this, and undercut their own claims of being born different by joining feminists in denouncing men for their "privilege" of having higher (or even lower) ability at something compared to women

  2. I'm having a hard time thinking of cases when "legal gender" comes up for non-government employees, and using pronouns to talk about someone in their presence is also strange. Someone complaining about these issues is looking to be offended, not a victim, like a drill instructor screaming at recruit who forgot to call him "Sir"...oh wait, I think "Sir" can be offensive to non-commissioned officers? Luckily as a civilian I don't have to care since I am no sergeant's or tranny's bitch.

  3. Which has nothing to do with bias. Bias, in this context, is unwarranted assumptions. Men are on average stronger and taller than women, but a system which, say, ranks potential firefighter applicants using their gender as a factor instead of looking at their performance in the actual job is biased.

    seems like you had to make a little jump to protect your assumptions: if the job requires strength applicants can be ranked by strength, "job performance" comes after hiring, and can be difficult to quantify.

    People aren't born evil

    Psychopathy is considered a congenital brain defect. Religion itself seems to emerge universally as a side-effect of human brain processes. So maybe it's that people are born stupid, the NZ Prime Minister putting on a Hijab confirms this

    So the male nurse is called to restrain the madman fighting like a wolverine, while the female nurse back from maternity leave prepares the medication, and they get the same pay because of "equality". "Sought after" but not with money. So the work ends up being done by men with lower qualifications because it pays better than hammering shingles or working as a bouncer, and the patients are treated according.

    ignoring the demographics of American prisons, the average European citizen seems pretty regulated, hard to get into trouble when you have no free speech, weapons, or even much of your paycheck, these conditions are similar to being in prison, which of course has its benefits, like free healthcare and housing

  20. youtube is trying to get ahead of regulation, which could pass quickly with no concern for implementation. Good opportunity for politicians to put on a show, while huge numbers of kids are abused in the real world through churches and schools and families while government social workers and law enforcement keep calm and collect pension credits.

    I basically look at it like this, you shouldn't call people things they don't like.

    We're already seeing where that gets you, since they don't like anything you say, you should "shut up and listen," so they can say whatever they want about you.

    Quota is just a capped commission. Commission might even be better if it meant they didn't get a paycheck when too many tickets were disputed, though to be fair that process needs video evidence. Which is also the answer to how you could make sure cops are working, though that should also be possible without technology since police are supposed to be good at investigating people's activities.

    Really should be asking for an explanation for why the birthrate is above 0 once women are "educated" i.e. enlisted into the workforce, and everyone's purpose in life is a paycheck.
