No, why would I? The Violence Against Women Act protects the rights of people, it doesn't punish them for biological conditions. Additionally, the protections under the act apply equally to men and women. And with the latest version which passed, the protections extend to homosexual couples.I am just curious...are you therefore against the Violence Against Women Act that Congress just signed?
Why would I be against it?
And again, you miss the point. And again you prove your lack of intelligence.And regardless of your opinion, American culture still considers exposing of the breasts in public to be taboo.
Auto-erotic asphyxiation is taboo and it's not illegal. That's a ridiculous statement.Thats why its illegal.
No, it's not. I don't disagree it's taboo, I'm the one who has said it. The problem isn't with what I understand, the problem is with what YOU understand, or more specifically what you don't understand, which is that if you quit treating it as taboo, if you quit passing laws which punish one gender and not the other, then it will eventually no longer be taboo.Thats the concept that I've been driving at for about 3 posts now and is surprisingly hard for you to wrap your head around.
I've said this multiple times now, and you still don't understand it.
No, it's not. If I want to go topless, I can. It's only wrong to go topless if you're a female.My point isnt based on history its based on current cultural notions. Today, its wrong to be topless in public, so I stand by those laws.
Once again, you show your sexist attitudes.
Who cares what Al Sharpton thinks? Does Al Sharpton speak for all people who are black? Who's being racist now?Just picture yourself explaining to Al Sharpton how women not being able to show their tits us just like slavery. No, seriously, stop and actually picture it. Because if you can picture him doing anything other than pimp slapping you across the face after such an ass backwards arguing point then you're not thinking right.
For example, my friend John is black and he agrees completely with me. And that's not conjecture, that's fact.
I don't have to, I know human biology. And in no way are breasts and vaginas the same sexually. And if you don't understand how they are different, then I suggest you either A) have sex or B) study human biology.And you've polled everyone who's made that assumption to know this to be a valid statement?
Why do you keep saying I made a virgin joke? I did no such thing. For God's sake, your debating skills are ridiculously poor, probably because your IQ is so low. What I did was use an ad hominem fallacy, to try and illustrate how ridiculous it is to assert breasts and vaginas are the same thing.What separates you from them is that they dont feel the need to sprinkle in juvenile virginity jokes
I wasn't making a joke. Though it doesn't surprise me this flew over your head.
See, this is why I call you stupid. Allow me to repost what I just said,If it insults you so much when someone has a differing view point
No, people who say stupid things are stupid. I don't care if you disagree, just don't do it stupidly.
Equality is now a social experiment?The point is the majority of the population lacks the desire to try out this social experiment of yours.
Says the person who is arguing in support of a law force feeding society. Hypocrite much?You can't force feed society anything.
I'm not arguing for a law that requires women to be topless. I'm arguing against a law which makes it illegal to be topless for just women. Only one position here is force-feeding society anything, and it's your position.
Society's view on legs during the Victorian Era ≈ Society's current view on breastsBreasts =/= legs. Society's current view of breasts =/= society's current view of legs. I cant break this shit down any more than this.
I can't break that down for you anymore. Not surprising you are still not getting it.
That's not a strawman argument. You MIGHT be able to call it a False Analogy, but it's really not, since we're just comparing two things; biological factors and the laws made because of them. At which point, my argument holds water.And the shitty strawman saga continues.
And if you can't see that you're arguing out of both sides of your mouth, regarding biological factors and the laws construed because of them, then that's your problem.I refuse to play into this racist shit any more. If you cant tell the difference between breasts and melanin thats your problem.
You don't want to say that laws should be different for people who are biologically different due to skin color, because you know it's completely wrong to do so. Your primary argument in this discussion is that it is okay to outlaw baring women's breasts, because of current day societal views upon it. However, when confronted with the societal views upon black people for almost 200 years, you reject the idea that laws should conform to societal views.
What you are saying is that societal views are inconsequential when it unfairly targeted the biological differences between black and white people, but that societal views are important when targeting the biological differences between men and women.
Do you really not see the ridiculousness of your position?
Because it was a ridiculous point, not worthy of my response. The Supreme Court once decided equality was state-sponsored segregation (which resulted in prejudiced practices). This was later overturned in Brown vs. Board of Education.I love how you removed my supreme court point
The Supreme Court does not get to decide the definition of equality, they only decide how legislation conforms to the Constitution. Without the 14th Amendment, the Supreme Court could never have ruled in favor of Oliver Brown and others, and thus, could never have ruled for equality.
I love how you made a point which was so ridiculous I skipped over it and then you commented how I skipped your stupid comment.
No, it is not. You cannot change the meaning of the word simply to try and suit your argument.equality is subjective.
Uhh, yes they do. Regardless of whether you are talking about breasts, areolas or nipples, men have all of them, just like women do. Women simply store more fat in theirs, and have milk ducts in them.YES! YES! Based on biological factors! And you know what, men dont have tits.
But I do find your comment here interesting. So you agree this law targets people based upon biological differences? So racism is bad and sexism is good?
And when you remove the gender aspect of it, they're still breasts.When you remove the gender aspect of it, they're still legs.
I REALLY think you need to take a couple courses on the human anatomy. You think breasts and the vagina are the same sexually and think men don't have either one.However, men dont have tits.
I only made one statement. Since there is no second statement, I can only assume this means you really did say what I thought you did.The first statement is true, the second is another pitiful strawman on your part.
Holy crap, man. That's seriously offensive.
Yes, and it's amazing how that happened once we quit legally making black people second class citizens.You know when Civil Rights gained some real ground, when the majority public opinion towards African Americans changed.
It's not a strawman, it's an illustration to how hypocritical your position is. You obviously do not believe in laws targeting one group of citizens based upon biology...except when it comes to females.You cling so much to this racism strawman
Your argument of severity doesn't change my argument of equality. Is women going topless as important as black people not being denied education? No. I have never once said it is, and your insinuation that I have IS a straw man argument (a legitimate straw man argument, not one you have erroneously believed to be a strawman). All I have said is that if you do not believe biological factors of race should be used when crafting legislation, you should also not believe biological factors of gender should not be used when crafting legislation. Or, more accurately, you should not specifically have laws punishing one biological group and not the other, for committing the same deed.
Again, if you want to punish men for showing nipples, then I would think it absurd, but not sexist. But when you only punish women for this, it is sexist.
Really? What makes you say that? I was raised by parents who were white and born in the 60s, and I believe very much in equality. Why would it have been different?which is funny because had you been a white man during the 60's you would've most likely not supported Civil Rights.
Once again, you completely miss the point.God a fucking feminist, no wonder. This notion of yours that women not being allowed to bear their breasts is somehow some misogynistic punishment is getting old and tired.
The problem isn't that women aren't allowed to, the problem is that men are and women are not. What's amazing to me is how you could have completely misunderstood that, when you quoted it specifically.
I also like how you referred to me as "a fucking feminist, no wonder". I think that says quite a bit about your sexist attitudes. Apparently wanting equality now makes a person "a fucking feminist", to be said with scorn and derision.
Face it, you're a sexist.
Yes, those uppity women demanding equality! What's wrong with them?!That being said, this feminist point of view rubs me the wrong way.
You're a sexist.
Then how about you compromise by agreeing this bill is entirely sexist, since it is only focusing on women and not men? Or how about North Carolina compromising and making it illegal for both men and women from showing their nipple? That would be equal.We all have to make compromises in this society.
And, once again, if we did that, black people would still be second class citizens.If we remove the illusion of equality, and base our actions on logical means in respect to the will of the people, we'll have a more balanced approach to issues like this.
It's amazing how you seem to get so offended when I mention that, and yet you cannot tell me how they are different in application. You tell me they are of different severity, but you cannot refute my example.
Yes, your feigned outrage. Mine was real enough to actually post this thread. And I've long thought it is ridiculous a man has the choice to go topless, but a woman does not. Unlike you, I believe in equality.Sure my feigned outrage.
You're a sexist. I think your last post has pretty well proven that. You want one set of laws for men and another for women. You are okay with women being punished for what men can do legally. Regardless of the severity of this issue, the law is sexist. For you to defend it, that means you share some of that sexism.
And the fact you literally said "a fucking feminist", with the same disdain as you would refer to a heroin addict, is pretty strong evidence that you are a sexist. Let me guess, you live in North Carolina?
