Horny, uh… finds a way.

It’s zero down payment, but Christ, the interest….

I don’t think they’re a universal phenomenon, thankfully.

Leider hat meine Lehrerin keinen Rat dafuer.

Done! Unfortunately absolutely everything you absorb for its powers tastes like rotten milk… every time you use the power.
I wanna be able to change my appearance at will.

Wenn mann Holländisch sprechen will, soll man sich einem ganzem Apfel ins Maul stecken und Deutsch sprechen. (Bitte Entschuldigen sie mir, diese Witz kommt mir von meiner Deutschlehrerin, die Bayerisch ist.)

Nein, danke. Koelner Deutsch ist mir ganz genug.

… aber es ist noch die leichteste Sprache zu lernen, wenn mann ein Englischsprecher ist.

I thought it was to avoid offending the men who *can* breastfeed? I mean, I can see the gender dysphoria-related point, but even cis men have breast tissue, otherwise men lactating and/or gynecomastia wouldn’t be a thing.

(Side note about this creepiness: the statement spends a section giving lip service to separation of church and state, but heads up a separate section by saying it’s Christian duty to “seek to make the will of Christ supreme in our own lives and in human society” and then for extra weird goes on to state that no effort to improve society can ever actually be helpful unless it’s rooted in the grace of God through Jesus Christ, i.e., Christian.)

Look, a primary tenet of Southern Baptist theological thought, since the late 70s/early 80s is something called called complementarianism, which so far as I can tell is based almost entirely on Paul’s (fucking Paul) statement that he does not allow women to teach in the church. Complementarianism is the belief that while man and woman are nominally EQUAL before God, they are given SEPARATE roles in the home, the church, and society at large (separate but equal… now why does that phrase sound familiar? It never, ever actually ends up equal). Guess what one of those “complementary” roles is, on the “womanly” side?
The Southern Baptist Convention’s (SBC) own website, in its values statement, in the “Family” section, clearly states that a man’s role is to provide for and lead his family, and a woman’s role is to submit to her husband’s leadership… in the same way the Church submits to Christ (creepy af)… and in managing the household and nurturing the next generation.

How does “spending seventeen years attending a church that was an integrated member of a major Evangelical denominational conference and regularly preached that the highest, if not only, call of a woman is to bear and nurture children, and heard preached from the pulpit and in everyday life that the source of most ills in society is women taking men’s roles by working outside the home and taking birth control” strike you?

Look, if you mean “women,” say “women.” If you mean “people who menstruate,” say “people who menstruate.” Not all people who menstruate are women, and not all women menstruate. Not even all cis women menstruate. The same goes for people who give birth and people who go through menopause, etc. There are issues which affect exclusively women, and there are issues which affect exclusively people who menstruate. It’s not the same category.

I was about to say - it needs to be powerful enough to kill your predator, not just your prey. Australia is a freakin’ arms race.

I mean it’d be freakin’ fantastic until the room sealed off anf the gas flowed in.
