Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

@Exceptionally Average Individual And Lurker  
The irony is that’s exactly what he’s/she’s trying to do.

@Absol95  
umm yes it does like legit where is Zincy when we need him?

@Absol95  
You really don’t know what you’re talking about.

Gender studies is good and people who complain about it probably never attended higher education

@Commune  
you mean studying how a universal characteristic has impacted people over the course of human development and how it affects everyday life is a worthwhile pursuit? who would have thought,

@Thanotos Omega  
You’d be surprised at just how many people reject Gender Studies as a concept because of “muh sjws”.

@Absol95
 
*cough
 
So, my 100s of hours of work, 4 publications, 15 conference presentations, and many hours of teaching are built on dishonesty ea?
 
So, tell me lad, what do you do with your life? How’s your career going? Or, not going as is more the probability.
 
I find it amusing when laymen pretend to know about entire fields of science. You know nothing of our work, and intend, likely nothing about science at all.
 
 
I do not work with “gaslighting” as it were, but I will not tolerate someone dissing my entire field because they’re too ignorant to understand it.

@Zincy  
I did not say that all in the field of psychology are dishonest. But sadly, some are.

@Absol95
 
Then choose your words more carefully next time.

@Moonatik  

 
GENDER/SEX IS BIOLOGICAL FIRST AND FOREMOST! Theatre, World History, and Chemistry are far more rooted in reality.

I feel as if this thread may or may not have already become Vent thread 2.0.

@Absol95  
this argument belongs in the politics thread,

@Absol95
 
Well, technically, gender is a mixture of the biological aspects and social ones.
 
It is less biological than the hard bios think, but also less social than the gender studies people think.
 
Sex is purely biological.

@Exceptionally Average Individual And Lurker
 
Yeah, kind of annoying.

@Exceptionally Average Individual And Lurker  
@Jarkes  
It certainly doesn’t help when people like Absol make really questionable “unpopular opinions”.

One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.

I also cannot stand how people like to parade around thinking that namedropping/quoting people makes them smarter or better than anyone.
 
I have set up a bullseye for this one.

@Exceptionally Average Individual And Lurker  
Was that towards me?

@Exceptionally Average Individual And Lurker  
I’m quoting a well respected author to make a point because she can express it way better than I can  
The same reason why people use metaphors, to better convey ideas
 
It’s pretty fucking simple don’t you think ?

@Commune  
Honestly, your attitude has grated me for the longest time, to the point where I actually miss it when you were just a minor shitposter 2 years ago.
 
What you say can be technically true, but it cannot detract away from how you come across as.

@Commune  
One is born female, and that does impact on how one is treated/developed.

@Exceptionally Average Individual And Lurker  
Still a shitposter dude lmao
 
@Meanlucario  
It doesn’t affect the status that women have in society  
The biological differences don’t matter to society, the “feminine” is much different from the biology

Jesus Christ, you guys’ unpopular opinions get more and more political every day.

@Commune  
I know you like to hide behind this nowadays, but it’s pretty obvious you’re just covering your ass as an excuse to admit that your bullshit did not fly in most people’s faces and that you will continue to fail to impart your intellectualism onto other people for years to come.

@Commune  
Well stop shitposting and make some goddamned normal posts for once in your life.
