@msmaureen90@troydrodman@Bonkytheidiot My parents attended every single one, both of them together. They just didn’t care to know the teachers names until that night
@msmaureen90@sues5236@troydrodman@Bonkytheidiot The point is to show that your “principles” are thinly veiled attempts to win petty status games.
“I’m not taking a MAN’S name, I’m keeping MY name, which is that of another man, my father” reveals how vapid the playacting actually is
@msmaureen90@sues5236@troydrodman@Bonkytheidiot You need benefits to take care of your children? Are you retarded?
The closest non-family analogy is a business — and it doesn’t have a finite work week, contract or benefits other than what you put into it. Imagine that.
@sues5236@troydrodman@msmaureen90@Bonkytheidiot Fathers provide everything that's needed to "do childcare" -- idk why that's not enough for you. Also, why is keeping your father's name better than taking your husbands
@msmaureen90@SalvageUfo@Bonkytheidiot What “argument” are you expecting? You’re just whining about men. We’re telling you what you’re doing and making fun of you. You haven’t made a point besides “men need to do more wah wah wah”
@troydrodman@msmaureen90@Bonkytheidiot She thinks having the kids every other week would “suck” for men because they have to do more stuff. How is this not clear?
As far as I can tell, the three biggest scandals of the AIDS crisis seem to be:
That bathhouse owners and gay leaders refused to cooperate with health officials in closing the bathhouses, which were the major site of rapid transmission, citing a civil rights violation, because there was fun to be had and profits to be made.
That the blood banking industry refused to cooperate with health officials in screening prospective donors and blood products, citing the fear of alienating their large gay donor base, but mainly because this would double the cost of a unit of blood to $12 and require recruiting new donors to replace the 6% donors screened out via testing, leading to the deaths of thousands of innocent transfusion recipients, among them many children.
That the Americans, led by NCI researcher Dr. Robert Gallo, entered into a heated PR rivalry with French doctors at the Pasteur Institute who first isolated the virus and repeatedly blocked attempts at recognizing their contribution, because they wanted full or at least shared credit.
I don’t know where exactly the Reagan stuff, that’s acquired such mythic proportions over time, fits into this. At minimum, the fact that these issues have been totally subsumed by the administration’s inaction seems wrong.
