The vast majority of male humans are not capable of giving birth at any point during their lives.
We can argue about the consequences of that fact, but it's hard to believe that there are no consequences.
What other facts should not be discussed?
- kaens 16y agoI absolutely think that should be discussed. I don't doubt that there are some consequences of that, but I don't think they're nearly as extreme as some people paint them to be. Edit: I don't think that anything should be barred from discussion. Taboo topics are harmful, in my opinion.

- kaens 16y agoI wrote that. Whether or not I think an idea, or the implementation of an idea, is harmful has no bearing on whether or not I think it should be barred from discussion.
