My wife walked up to the server at our local cafe. The person was possibly transgender. She wanted to engage the individual but was frozen in fear that she might use a pronoun that might offend. Therein lies the problem with this language policing. It takes perfectly natural
social situations and in the quest to not offend an extraordinarily small minority (who of course deserve to live fully dignified lives like anyone else), everyone is walking on egg shelves. Fighting for a world free of bigotry does not imply that we must suppress perfectly
natural categorization mechanisms that are built into our brains and our languages. I can be free of bigotry without being compelled to celebrate your unique personhood. [I'm getting closer to putting everything behind a subscription wall.]

She wanted to say to the server's colleague, "he'll get the hang of it" (new server) but hesitated because of "he'll."

A bunch of clueless "the patriarchy is evil" types are writing about the "unfairness" of older men being able to attract younger women whereas the opposite pattern is not nearly as common. This has nothing to do with "patriarchal unfairness" and everything to do with this little
thing known as biological realities rooted in sexual dimorphism of human mating. In the same way that a twenty-year-old male has more limited mating opportunities as compared to a twenty-year-old female, the pattern reverses as we pass through our life stages. There is nothing
conspiratorial about it. There is nothing evil about it. There is nothing patriarchal and sexist about it. The mating trajectories of the two sexes is not the same across the life cycle stages. This does not mean that older women don't have "the right" to sleep with the 18-

Insults me repeatedly. I retort and hence shine the light on him. He deletes his tweet(s) and blocks me (because of course I would have followed him given that I did not know of his existence 1 hour ago). The castrati are always the same. Void of honour and fortitude.
Plus this white privileged man from Oxford-Cambridge is attacking the war refugee person of color. Yet again proving that the castrato is enacting his colonialism on my body of color.

The biggest racists around today are exemplified by folks such as @marclamonthill, @JoyAnnReid, @donlemon, @MichaelEDyson, & @DrIbram. They live race. They breathe race. They exhale race. They dream of race. They eat race. Everything is faux-racism. They are racial supremacists.
Martin Luther King is a historic figure because he preached a universal message that TRANSCENDED race. He saw the shared humanity of people. These race hucksters cloak their hate, their resentment, their venom, in the robe of faux-progressivism. Most people do not give ONE damn
about someone's skin color. But these hate mongers of color eat, breathe, dream, sleep racial division. Their motto: I hate therefore I am. I construct faux-racism therefore I am. I hate whitey therefore I am. It's enough already. Marginalize their voices. Laugh them out of the

The orgiastic nature of pathological "empathy":
1) Remove AP in high school because it marginalizes those who are not academically talented.
2) Place a leash around freedom of speech because free expression might hurt someone's feelings.
3) Ban the criticism of vile religious
dogma because practitioners of that religion will feel insulted.
4) Destroy the athletic chances of biological females as to celebrate the "right" of a trans woman (biological male).
5) Reject the epistemological supremacy of the scientific method because practitioners of "other
ways of knowing" will be marginalized.
6) Reject the concept of national borders because good and noble people from other countries should not be excluded from being citizens of your country.
7) Tell white children that they suffer from Dermatological Original Sin because bruh
