@geogvma Or they understand that a knee-jerk hatred of everything Russian is not vindicated. Many of these people would ban every single thing Russian if they could, even if it’s not related to the war or the Russian government whatsoever.
@SevaUT Objection 3 is objectionable. Believing Russian cultural presence itself is a problem does imply that you believe Russian culture can’t and shouldn’t be humanised in any form. Others have also mentioned that BBC continued playing German classical music even during the Blitz.
@Cheldubiduba No human rights are violated by women wanting to have children not having careers either. You can make an income by being a janitor.
At least by your logic.
@Cheldubiduba Still no explanation why forcing employers to pay people they don’t want to or men to date people they don’t want to are somehow not limiting human rights if implemented successfully.
@Cheldubiduba I am following. All three initiatives demand certain groups to make sacrifices for the sake of others. The only difference is that when it’s explicitly women whom this demand is imposed on, it suddenly becomes a human right violation.
That’s called hypocrisy.
@Cheldubiduba Employers own women money and careers and men own morbidly obese women affection just as much as women own affection to autistic men.
The only actual difference is that the former two benefit women, while the latter demands something from them.
@Cheldubiduba Human rights is at least hypocritical.
Mutability is mentioned for obvious reasons; the more you can cure a harmful effect on your own, the less help you need from society.
@Cheldubiduba The employers and the body positivity movement are examples of how liberal women do support initiatives which openly interfere with or at least tries to artificially influence the taste and standards of others. Therefore, claiming that men’s similar desires are violations of
@Cheldubiduba Positivity movement has already managed to put enough pressure on leading fashion brands to depict morbidly obese women as sexy.
The ball is in your court.
@Cheldubiduba Being a “landwhale” or a junky is, more often than not, a result of choices, not congenital problems.
Also, in many cases, artificial improvements can help many “uggos” become at least average looking. There is nothing similar when it comes to autism.
Finally, the body
@Cheldubiduba Hot take, but: women are not freer to select between partners than employers about who they accept. If employers can be forced to give a chance to women they otherwise wouldn’t (and they should), women can also give a chance to men they otherwise wouldn’t.
@Cheldubiduba Criticizing the liberal mainstream doesn’t necessarily translate to being black pill or entirely anti-liberal, that’s one of my points. You can criticize some aspects of an ideology and agree with most of it.
@Cheldubiduba Most of liberal society immediately labels any kind of prostitution to be rape or at least abuse, even in places where it’s not illegal to be a client. Claiming prostitution is an easy solution seems disingenuous.
@Marys_Miles@alexanderkhara@MarkGaleotti Exactly. People who love throwing around WWII analogies routinely ignore how often WWIII didn’t break out during the Cold War.
@Marys_Miles@alexanderkhara@MarkGaleotti Soviet and American servicemen actually engaged each other in combat during the Korean War. It was actually much closer to WWIII than the Ukrainian war has ever been so far.
@mikitaposts I appreciate your honesty, your willingness to admit that your Cold War mentality does not hold the moral high ground for democracy, freedom and human rights
@Etch_Aic @onchainocean@nuance_enjoyer Self-improvement is significantly easier if society makes it easier for you. Putting all of the responsibility on people who have demonstrably greater difficulties to solve the problem is illogical, and probably doesn’t work either.

@efinch02 @Etch_Aic @onchainocean@nuance_enjoyer Which is at least hypocritical, as society obviously cares enough about obese women to try to present them as sexy. The maxim of “you can’t interfere with romantic/sexual preferences” seems false.
Yes, autistic men do have to develop, but so should society. A lot.
