Usually these bad gifs indicate a bot posted something stolen from another site. Not sure if this was a bot post because the user made a comment 3 months ago but this type of gif is a good indication.

As long as we can place the blame on some other group it means we're not the problem or part of the problem so we can do as we please. Then we're right back to where we started from but just from the other/opposite extreme. But since the blame is being solely placed this or that group and because "I" can point out their faults then "I" am not at fault. It really just boils down to are people responsible for themselves and their actions? And if they are, are we holding them accountable for their actions, both right and wrong?

Oh don't get me wrong I see what she's saying and she's not wrong. It's easy to see when someone does all the work of putting it all together and pointing it out but the mindset that creates the very situation we're in is the initial problem. Victim blaming, enforced societal roles, lack of support, the very things that are often claimed to cause problems for women have been radicalized as a response to the very things they are trying to fix. And you can see it everywhere. "You can't be racist if you're black". "You must be (fill in the blank) if you're (blank). "You can't have an opinion, or at least one that can be voiced, on (blank) if you're (blank). It's a logical fallacy that easy to fall into or use, especially when you want to get one up on whatever group you think is oppressing you. Just because all squares are rectangles it doesn't make all rectangles squares. The problem is that society likes to stop with all squares are rectangles.

Typically, the bands are used to force yourself to use proper form and help control the weights when lifting. It's a quick and easy way to make sure you don't hurt yourself by bouncing or snapping the weights. You can use them to create weight but like you said you can just add weights to it for a similar and easier result.

That's what it looks like. You can just see the bike on it's side when the viewpoint gets closer.

Hence, why I said you have to respect that people other than yourself can have opinions. There's a big difference between respecting that people can have their own opinions and respecting their opinions. The later, much like the right to free speech, means people can say stupid things and believe stupid things but you're allowed to call them stupid. Whereas the former, means they can say those stupid things or believe them and you have to "respect" those thing as just as valid as your opinions.
