I think it's ok for women to be allowed to ask men or at the gym purely based on the reason why it's not ok for men to ask.

An estimated 91% of victims of rape & sexual assault are female and 9% male. Nearly 99% of perpetrators are male. (1) This US Dept. of Justice statistic does not report those who do not identify in these gender boxes.

Men commit the preponderance of sexual violence/harassment by a long shot.

It's become the norm for men to leave women alone in less-than-social spaces because it provides a more welcoming environment. Which is a huge cultural improvement IMO. The other way around though is fine. I don't think most men are expecting to be sexually harassed/abused by women in those same spaces.

Not saying it couldn't happen, because it does, but it's SOOOOO MUCH less likely.

Clippy coding! Newer coders won't get the reference, older coders can hold it with the same scorn.

How's the air up there?

Nations are made of people, that make local gov, that make state govs. We need to change the smallest part that makes up the rest of the machine before you can "fix" the 2 party system.

Everyone keeps taking about the DNC like it is some colossus. We can either change it to our liking or make our own, but either way it starts by changing the smallest parts first.

It's pretty easy to find, but JK Rowling is a TERF. She actively contributes money to anti-Trans efforts and is unapologetic about any of it.

Here's an article from a ways back.

This is misleading. Colorado doesn't have a law restricting government contracts with companies boycotting Israel. It DOES have a law preventing the state pension from investing in companies that boycott Israel though.

This is probably more accurately a map of states with Anti-BDS laws supporting Israel.

Do you understand how far orbits are in general? We have satellites in orbit around earth at varying distances based on what service those satellites provide. Some of those orbits are 22,000 mi above earth, which is a super popular orbit distance.

I would still consider these things as part of earth because it's a physical feature of earth. Same with the moon. In astronomical terms, getting within several thousand miles of a thing, is entering the physical space of that thing.

I'd compare it more to going to the 820 loop around Fort Worth. You're not in Fort Worth, but if you lived in New Mexico and we're going to a small town outside Fort Worth, you might still tell people that you're headed to Fort Worth.

Gotta stop with the 40% nonsense. It's misleading. Americans are BAD AT VOTING. 40% of voters in 2024 support Trump. Not 40% of Americans. If I take wikipedias lower end estimate of 342mil people, and divide Trumps number of votes by that, I get 22.6%.

Still super shitty, but not 40.

You may not know this yet, but this guy is the attorney representing Jonathan Ross... And has made a statement that he still supports Trump...

That assumes that it's the bubble tube that's not installed evenly but doesn't remove the problem the other person suggested, which is a non-flat or non-squared other side?

They aren't. Not sure what news you're getting. National guard is putzing around. ICEstappo and the other LEO feds are. You have shown you'd rather be a keyboard revolutionary than actually understand. I hope you're not from the USA, because your lack of interest in understanding the actual problem is no better than a MAGAt.

I don't know if you're still checking this, but you WANT the people who question these things to stay in. The other guy already tried his best to explain it to you so I won't dog pile.
