English does not discriminate well between the universal quantification (∀; all men are) and existential quantification (∃; some men are) when quantification is indefinite (men are). It's often unambiguous; saying "men are well-re

" I'm against gender discrimination " Do you believe that no gender discrimination in favour of men occurs in the rest of the industry? Are you against any particular act of discrimination that you happen to witness, or are y

Radical Feminism (one concept) is somewhat equivalent to separatist feminism, which takes it as axiomatic that women making decisions under the influence of men are not free to make decisions (they're the "all sex is rape" sc

Look at what you are actually writing here. "A young black male LIKE YOU is..." vs "A white male is..." Regardless, facts are facts. If (big if) black men are incarcerated more per capita than white men, it is not racist

From Theo de Raadt, on-thread: On a regular basis, we find real and serious bugs which affect all platforms, but they are incidentally made visible on one of the platforms we run, following that they are fixed. It is a harsh real
