The Topic of Homosexuality, Gender Identity, and So forth

The operative word is A. Doesn't have to be your own. Any other definition of gender (besides perhaps agendered) is going to almost certainly going to be a convoluted description of something entirely different and unrelated to gender.

Except marriage is a Pagan institution appropriated by the Church.
Like most things about Christianity.

Something tells me they appropriated theirs from the Jews. Probably not intentionally either. More like, if you are a Christian who wants to get married the logical thing to do so is to work in the rights of the new religion.

You say that like the two aren't intrinsically tied to one another.

@Darcs

Yes, but approaching it as an issue of sex an race is going about it completely incorrect. It's like if somebody has cancer that is causing them to cough a lot. If you try to cure it by treating the cough, all you are doing is making it look less ugly. You have to treat the cancer.

Yes. The West. As you imply with this statement though, there is an East.

(Also it does still exist in the West)

We can't fix the east from here. We've tried, it doesn't end well.

And there is a difference between antiquated views that have not worked out of society yet and oppression that is systematic. For it to be systematic, you have to find how the entire society is upholding the oppression. And for it to count in the argument, it also cannot be a problem traced back to economics.

Okay but an apathy towards the plight of the downtrodden, who are held in that position by a system that is kept in power by your apathy is literally oppression of the downtrodden.

The point isn't apathy, but approaching this situation like an adult. If you go at it like we are being held down by easy to pin point evil forces (like the imaginary patriarchy) then you are making the situation worse by choosing to treat the conversation as nothing more than about how you are a good person.

When the problem becomes economics, it becomes too broad for the tumblr mistake to cover, because at this point the "oppressed" starts to include many of the people who you would normally include in the patriarchy. And the people who will slip into this oppressed group by the end of their lifetimes? That is a bigger group. It isn't a civil rights issue - the law is giving everybody the legal rights. It is an issue of means, and the ability to access the wealth that we produce.

and we broke away from the UK for " freedom of religion" yet the government says you cant have your religion to or it " is mean to people".

@TheMusketMan

You know, i'm fine for people being simplistically anti-war or strongly anti-patriotic, but this belief is more annoying than any of that. There is a line between being a tad melodramatic and being incorrect.

Touche.

Still, the entire concept that there once a "Republic of West Florida" is fucking awesome. Even if it was only for a few months.

Reality is truly stranger than fiction.

I'm sorry... that wasn't fair, though it is a fair point. I do think something should be done to assist working mothers though. Some sort of state organized child care program. Think of the children man.... think of the children. I say this but I have no faith that it would be implemented correctly... or at all. That being said, who thinks it's nuts that we've gotten to the point where we would rather have strangers raise our kids than raise em ourselves? It's difficult to raise a family on a single paycheck these days after all. It's rather unavoidable that both parents tend to have to work to support them.

Not knocking working parents at all though. Both my parents worked themselves to the bone to provide for us after all. Can't say I really think I've missed out on the whole family bonding thing because it wasn't really a relevant life experience. I could just be absolutely crazy and not know it though.

Sorry about that tangent.

@Loud Angry Dead

I agree completely, and that is part of what I meant when I said the problem of our generation (in the west) is going to be economics, not civil rights. It's not about what racial or gender demographic you are born to anymore, its about the general access to wealth.

The Tale of Billy Tilly

Billy Tilly decided to visit the local inn, the Ploughin' Pony. And then his skeleton burst from his body, killing him. The skeleton, now free, decided that it was about time to leave this swingin' brony sex motel and go become an economist. He went to the nearest hat shop and bought a nice black top hat with the money he got off of his old skin, several now dead hookers, and the wishes of little boys and girls. The black hat soon taught Billy Tilly's skeleton the basics of identity fraud to help his education as an economist. With his new tool, the skeleton went down the street pointing out frauds, until he pointed at a cop and was tazed right in the calcium. The men took him into the prisons but he was, however, soon released- as skeletons are very white. Now an ex-con, the skeleton wrote a book about economy from the perspective of a prison-bound human skeleton.
