Some women use this as their preferred form of birth control and I do not think the public should not be funding that.
No they don't, and even if you're convinced that they do, you're impying that it *still* isn't cheaper to have health insurance cover abortions than to have to bear the cost of unwanted children once they're born? It's funny how people who seem to need to frame everything as a matter of "who is paying for it" seem so unwilling or unable to make the actual calculations required to arrive at the sane, financially AND socially sound decisions that every other developed country does.
It doesn't matter that I have links. Propaganda? Fed? You would discount anything shown to you because you're convinced that you already know the answer, and pretty damn emotional about it to boot.
> And while nobody should have to deal with overtly sexist atmosphere, simply having a majority of men == sexism!
Nobody said it was sexism. They just want to have more women participants, full stop. It's numnuts like you who turn everything into some OMG MERITOCRACY IS CRUMBLING AROUND US into places that make people feel it's just not worth dealing with non-well adjusted people.
What on earth does that have to do with anything? A sample based on reddit users as an indicator of the general US electorate is moronic, completely independent of anything else.
Land surface temperature is a measurement of how hot the land is to the touch. It differs from air temperature (the temperature given in weather reports) because land heats and cools more quickly than air.
Jesus, the explanation as to why that isn't a suitable example is right on the actual page.

If you may as well, you'd be doing it, but you don't, because you know it's not the same.

Do it. Oh right, you won't. And if you do, come back and show us all the money you made. Talk is cheap, which is why this "easy money" point was, is, and always will be bullshit.

No, this is a lot more like being able to prevent somebody who wants to join your soccer game from just kicking the ball out into the street out of spite.
Having standards doesn't make you 5 years old. There are plenty of people who deserve to be filtered out of a discussion, especially in so far as it's clear that often time the goal of a person is to simply derail or make discussion impossible in the first place.
No, they only have to "feel like the other gender"
That must explain all the times where guys got into the washroom by feeling like the other gender. And why it was such a problem before. And why a law had to be created to fight against this problem where men were entering women's washrooms, then assaulting them because people just were letting men into washrooms under the assumption that "hey, they were transgenered."
I'd love to hear anything from you that makes sense, but so far everything you've posted makes you sound like you think like buying at a different grocery store than you normally go to qualifies as life experience.
I don't know how narrowminded and naive you have to be to think legally allowing trans-gendered people into women's washrooms is the equivalent of socially allowing anybody to go into any washroom. Oh wait, yes I do. You think men who are looking to rape and harm women were just taking advantage of the fact that the law before didn't specify that you were required to use bathrooms that match the gender on their birth certificate rather than their gender identity? Like, "whew, now we can stop this surge of men who've been wandering into bathrooms unimpeded because everybody knows that they might just be trans-gendered?"
Sure. But you won't wish to go to the women's washroom because you don't identify with being a woman, and you're desire to be in the shortest line doesn't trump how you're going to explain that to your friends and family.
Talk is so cheap. Why are you trying to point out why it's a problem if your interest is purely in the shortest line? Just go in the shortest line.

For your comparison to hold up, Bernie would be the 8 year old autistic child who scored 0 in this scenario?

Not to mention I don't see how texting and driving is more of a distraction than having some screaming toddler in the back.
You don't have to see. The facts are completely independent of your willingness to educate yourself.

Boy, do I have some good news for you, you've found a useful delusion!

I can't even picture your line of reasoning.
Using reddit as some kind of indicator is, uh .. well, that's quite a little bubble you're living in.
Funny wording there. How are you "caught" via a press release?

Great argument.

You don't get out much.
I'm sure this is all new information to them.
The process might not be as simple as giving the phone a squeeze
