@NeilShenvi So is it a case of you agreeing with them but not liking them?

@RightReason_NZ No. It’s an argument against joining the movement or associating with it. Admittedly, I could have been more clear, but I’ve been saying for years that my main concerns about the CN movement aren’t centered on differences in political theology.

One of the strongest arguments against Christian Nationalism is the behavior of many (but not all) Christian Nationalists.

@NeilShenvi So this isn't offered as an argument against the rightness of Christian nationalism? The wording is quite confusing then. What proposition is it an "argument" against?

@RightReason_NZ I’m speaking about Christian Nationalism as a movement, not the various ideas that get labelled as “Christian Nationalism.”

I hate this. 'Be glad women don't want revenge!' It is surely one of the worst, most low-effort sloganeering forms of activism that exists in this space; not only because it is unproductive and divisive, but it is also objectively stupid. Assuming this young woman is below the age of 35, and American, she ought to know, she has been advantaged at every stage of education, throughout her entire life. She'll get better marks, for the same work. She'll be treated better, for the same behaviour. She'll have access to ~90% of gendered scholarships. As a result – She will be overrepresented in college, across every racial group, every year, and to a greater extent than the 'men' from the 1970s, who she now whines about. She'll have better health outcomes than men, across all racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups; she will have lower mortality rates at every age; and will enjoy far more funding spent on her health, than what is given to her male peers. In fact - Even for suicide research, which is the greatest risk to young men's lives, she will get 33x more (!!) gendered funding spent there too. There will be ten federal tax-funded offices dedicated to researching her health, with zero for men, and in every country on the planet, she can expect to live longer than men. She lives during a time where she's paid, on average, more than men of the same age, even at the median. If she ends up in an abusive relationship, she'll have access to billions of dollars of services, and support, and thousands of shelters; with virtually nothing for men. If she goes missing, her case will receive three times more media coverage than missing men, and three times more again, if she's white. If she commits a crime and goes into a criminal court, she'll be treated more leniently, and more likely to avoid a custodial sentence, even when committing the same crime as a man – doubly so for black men. And that's not even getting to family courts, where the systemic advantages really stack up for her. She will never be legally required to go to war, to be obliterated as many millions of young men have been before her; and she will not be imprisoned, if she refuses to go. From the day she's born, her body will rightly be protected from genital cutting by law; while millions of boy babies are strapped down and mutilated, with no consent, no anesthesia, and no medical need. She'll be – Less likely to be homeless. Less likely to die from drug overdose. Less likely to die by suicide. Less likely to be killed by police. Less likely to be murdered. Less likely to die at work. Less likely to be criminally exploited. Less likely to be assaulted on the street. So... for what is she owed 'revenge' exactly? And why is it appropriate for a woman like this, who has enjoyed all of the above privileges, and more, to piggyback-on and steal sympathy from women who lived hundreds of years ago, who she never met, and knows nothing about? I imagine none of this has occurred to her. I imagine she wouldn't believe it either. This chronic victimhood complex pulls at the fabric of society in ways we cannot even comprehend, driving a wedge between us, and only serves to keep swinging the pendulum of equality, for eternity. You are not owed 'revenge'. You are already the beneficiary of far more than 'equality', in many ways that you don't even know.

Some Christians (all Catholic as far as I can see) are commenting on this and claiming it violates the obligation to be fruitful and multiply. This assumes, of course, that the people using these methods have not been fruitful. What if they have produced four or five children?

@greencatherine @aniobrien @RossMcD178 You realise that's because there are far more "cis" men than trans "women," right? It's because there are more of them. The *rate* is what Ani is talking about.

@aniobrien @RossMcD178 I have been harassed by straight men my entire life, put down and labelled and belittled, date rape etc and everyone of my friends is similar if not worse, not one of us ever attacked by a trans person - most of our abuse not reported. We all know why - so not buying this

This Bill comes at an excellent time. I have 6 months to keep reminding you all of which politicians know what a woman is, which are actual morons, & which are so desperate to be cool with people who will never vote for them that they’ll shit on the women who might vote for them.

“Teachers are more lenient in their marking of girls' schoolwork, according to an international study. An OECD report on gender in education, across more than 60 countries, found that girls receive higher marks compared with boys of the same ability.” archive.is/2015.10.01-084…

Among people who were raised Protestant: 73% are still Protestant. 20% became nones. 3% became Catholics. Among people raised Catholic: 63% are still Catholic. 21% became nones. 12% became Protestant. Among those raised without religion: 71% still have no religion.

Darles testosterona a las mujeres hace que se comporten de manera más justa y menos conflictiva. Sin embargo, las mujeres que creen que han tomado testosterona —pero que en realidad han tomado placebo— se comportan de manera más agresiva y más injusta.

@chrislynchmedia To be fair, he was not mainstream, and had a reputation for extreme views.

In 2016. Of course the first page that comes up on Google is this.

The more news people watch, the less well they understand their political opponents. Not exactly a ringing endorsement of political news… stevestewartwilliams.com/p/medical-tatt…

@ryanburge And apparently it started to jump up rapidly after that, according to your graph. The next couple of years of data would confirm whether or not this was a turnaround.

For a long stretch of time about 40% of high school seniors agreed with this statement: "If we just leave things to God, they will turn out for the best." Then it started dropping noticebaly in 2016 and bottomed out during the start of the pandemic.

Anyone who says the evidence shows that either men or women are more intelligent on average is cherry picking and misrepresenting the evidence.

@JonesVincentt What do you mean when you say that these signs show "how worried" they are? How does it display worry on the part of National?

Someone sent me this. Shows the type of campaign National are running. If they’re already putting these signs up, it shows how worried they are.

@JustinBerkobien I'm sure they are devastated at you distancing yourself from them.

As a Christian man I hereby distance myself—publicly and for all time—from the Christian men who suggest their wives are OBLIGATED to sleep with them. How utterly pathetic, abusive, and un-Christlike.

"at virtually the same rates as women reported rape." This was a surprise.

@LeaningRight36 @KaeleyT Didn't you know? Men are expected to be their wives' therapists.

So infidelity is acceptable? Or shall he remain in a sexless marriage because his wife said so? If you haven't processed all your trauma and bullshit prior to getting married, you're just a shitty person expecting someone else to suffer on your behalf. A woman's propensity for ruminating on shitty experiences in her past is a hell of an excuse to justify being okay with someone else having to pay her trauma toll.

No, you are not being abused if your wife doesn’t want to have sex with you. Be serious. Maybe there’s an intimacy breakdown that’s partially your fault. Maybe she’s processing sexual trauma. Maybe it’s physically painful for her. Man up. Stop playing the victim like a petulant child. Tend to her heart and cultivate emotionally intimacy, and see what happens.

@KaeleyT It's interesting that you assume that if there is no physical intimacy, it is the result of his failure to "tend to her heart." I make no comment on why you might have come to think that way about blame and men, but it is interesting.

Transgender murders both his parents for not supporting his decision to pretend to be a girl. "They had their chance." And the LGBTQ is in the comments defending him. And who enables this? The doctors.

Catholics are 11 points more likely to believe in reincarnation than Protestants. And 9 points more likely to believe in ghosts. However, they are 6 points less likely to believe in miracles and 8 points less likely to believe in Hell.
