A little topic drift may have been involved.Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Fri Dec 28, 2018 8:40 pm What in sam hill does the WNBA have to do with legalized sex work?

I feel for the players who genuinely love the game, but the men will be performing a lot more of the spectacular stuff that gets the viewers.
What's your take specifically on gymnasts? With what you said about tennis, I could see the case being the same, though calisthenics do favor lighter weight people in general.

I don't know enough, and the women's and men's artistic gymnastics vary a lot in what moves are done and even what equipment is used.BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Fri Dec 28, 2018 11:07 pmI just meant not eating for a very long time.Darth Wedgius wrote: ↑Fri Dec 28, 2018 8:33 pmEeyup.

@Madner Kami Now you slander me. I'm not "desperately trying to get attention" when others go off-topic as much as I do. I'm just sharing my thoughts, but if you really hate me that much, well... then perhaps I have no place on this forum. I mean, can't you be like Darth Wedgius? He completely ignores me, which is the way it should be if you're going to BLOCK ME.

Well how often do progressives try to posit that there's no difference in gender? Is that what yukaphile was doing?

Yes. I see any gender differences as minor and trivial, and mostly socially ingrained, from culture and early childhood.

Re: How does MeToo mesh with the legalise prostitution movement?
Yeah, the prevalent issue has to do with how much the gender roles are actually enforced upon people, whether socially or institutionally or otherwise. I'm sure there's people that aren't very clear on pertinent differences specifically, but it's not a contention of whether there is or isn't differences in sex or even gender correlated to sex. I've personally never heard anybody advocate that there's no difference, and I'd think that's just anecdotal.

I'd think any differences are way below 10%. So small as to almost be nonexistent.

What about women as customers and men as workers?BridgeConsoleMasher wrote: ↑Wed Dec 26, 2018 4:34 am She's all for penalizing men as customers but not women as workers. Such policies are coined as Scandinavian as they have gone that route with prostitution.
