I don’t understand this. I’m married. My wife is the coolest person I know. I wouldn’t dare try to control her. She is too much fun.
I try to control my wife the same amount that she tries to control me, which is to say not much at all but we communicate expectations which we think are reasonable. Like yeah, have friends and hang out with them without me, but I’m gonna be pissed off if you stay out until 3am without checking in. Extreme example, but you get my point. We check in before planning/doing shit that affects each other, and once in a while there is a good reason for the answer to be no.
Communication is the #1 thing that’s kept my wife and I happy and together. I don’t think it’s “controlling” to let my wife know where I’m going, or for her to tell me where she is going, that’s just normal married couple stuff.
Shocking. A generation that was told since childhood that gender roles are so important that they actually change your gender gives importance to gender roles. Absolutely no one could see it coming.
Are you confusing gender roles with gender expression again?
for lay people who aren’t educated in gender studies, there is no such difference.
the average person doesn’t even know what a gender role is dude. if i asked my 16 year old nephew about how he feels about ‘gender roles’ he’d look at me and go ‘what the fuck are you talking about?’
So which is it: has this topic been taught as super important since childhood, or does no-one know about it?
Also pretty sure a 4 year old would have little problem understanding “gender expression is how you act and dress and talk, gender roles are what people think you should act and dress and talk like”. So, IDK, maybe have your nephew checked or something?
it is super important to rich liberal people, but not the rest of the world/usa. where i live i can’t walk down the street without gender war nonsense being all over the lamp posts, but that isn’t the case in most other places.
it’s also super important at universities who are full of ‘activists’.
It’s important to me, a trans person, that I’m allowed to take my medicine, use the bathroom that aligns with my gender, and be addressed with my chosen pronouns. But I don’t matter to you, I’m just a freak and the source of your problems.
You don’t matter to me because I don’t know you. You are not the source of any of my problems. You aren’t that important.
I don’t know where you live. Come to Boston. People will bend over backwards to give you a job because every company is desperate to prove how diverse their workforce is. Our governor is a lesbian and pro-queer. Of course, the big catch is, if you want to live here, you better be rich. We don’t want poor queer/trans people here, only wealthy ones! I have had quite a few trans/queer friends in my decade living here. But I have also known shitty trans people who I hate because they are whiny entitled people who treated me and other people horrible, including violence and rape. I have no clue if you are a good person or a shitty person, you could be either. Being trans doesn’t automatically make you special or good in my book though, it is meaningless to me. You probably also care a lot more about what’s between my legs than I do.
Sucks that other states hate trans people, but I don’t live there and I have no say in their government policies.
It doesn’t sound like people would bend over backwards to give me a job. I work in a factory and live in a trailer. They bend over backwards to give rich people jobs, and it has literally nothing to do with being queer. You’re getting mad about gender, but you should be mad about inequality.
Just as planned.
People of both genders in Indonesia (66%) and Malaysia (60%) were most likely to agree with the statement, compared with 23% in the US and 13% in Great Britain.
As a Malaysian, i’ll let you guess the reason.
Allah and his only prophet Mohammed?
You know Jesus is a prophet to Muslims right?
The confusion is language.
In the Quran, he’s called Isa and is mentioned over 30 times.
Same way Allah refers to the same God Judaism calls Yahweh and Christians aren’t supposed to say aloud because they treat God like Voldemort.
I think it’s Jews who can’t say Yahweh. Christians certainly can.
…
Judaism = Yahweh
Islam = Allah
Christianity = “Do not say my name, just say God”
That’s literally the whole “do not say God’s name on vain” thing.
Idiots that couldn’t read the Bible centuries later just thought “God” was what you shouldn’t say, be cause they scrubbed God’s name in the original language from the Bible and Christianity to make it more believable he was the only God and not one of many
What’s the evidence of the name being scrubbed? Is it just that the Jews still use Yahweh and Christians don’t usually? I’m curious and would like to have backing if I repeat that at some point.
Yahweh is used to describe God like 7,000 times in the Old testament (written before Christianity by Jews) and used 0 times in the New Testament written by Christians.
Depending bible, all the Yahweh’s may be replaced by the all caps “LORD” because they literally went back and scrubbed the name out to obey “don’t use my name in vain”.
Not sure how good of a source this is but I mean you can literally compare the Old Testament to the Torah and see that it changed:
In actuality, God’s personal name is in your Bible . . . sort of. The editors have chosen not to transliterate God’s name, like they do every other proper name in the Bible, and have instead chosen to replace God’s name, Yahweh, with the upper-case LORD or GOD. That’s right, all 6,828 times God’s personal name Yahweh is written in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament have been replaced with the English LORD or GOD in your English Bible. Let’s look at Psalm 117 as an example.
“Praise the LORD, all nations! Extol him, all peoples! For great is his steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD!”
PSALM 117
The word “LORD” in all upper-case letters is God’s personal name, Yahweh. God’s personal name is used three times in Psalm 117. So, in a way, God’s personal name is in all modern English Bibles; the translators and editors have simply chosen not to transliterate it, but to use the word LORD or GOD instead. Most Bibles explicitly state what they are doing in the preface, but let’s be honest, most people do not read the preface to their Bible.

To be clear I don’t believe any of this stuff, it’s just always bugged me that the biggest modern religious conflict is three groups all praying to the same God they all swear is peaceful, and just constantly killing Innocents over minor details without even realizing it.
So I’ve looked into how they different they really are. And most of the conflict is semantics that no one fighting over actually understands.
