The Hegemonic Masculinity Magnet

My mistake then.

 

Conservatives are more likely to be NASCAR fans, but most other sports have actually been trending liberal -- mostly because so many sports engage in woke propaganda now. A lot of conservatives are walking away from professional sports due to it. College sports haven't gotten there yet, but they're probably next.

Well, you can also look at demographics. White people are, compared to blacks and Latinos, less obese on average. Latinos and blacks are more prevalent in the South than in many other areas, so that tends to drive up the statistics. Vermont is one of the least obese states, but it's also lily-white. By the same token, Asians tend to be the least obese group, and they are most prevalent on the West Coast.

It is true that the Southern lifestyle is less healthy in terms of food and activity, but some of that has to do with climate as well. I can attest that exercising outside in NC is only bearable in certain areas during the summer. That being said, people should exercise more indoors around here.

 

I see you got all that from the first lines in the abstract. Wow. Amazing superpower ya got there.

As for your empty criticism, your free wheeling accusations without any consideration of the content you attack is rather revealing. But then again, MAGA defenders are rarely self aware so I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

 

All good!

 

What do you mean and why does that matter?

 

Historically, about 5%. What has caused the rise in single parent families is the great American Welfare state.

 

Well, it sure beats what amounts to domestic slavery for the sake her kids, doncha think? the rise in single parent families also has much to do with walking dicks thinking that's all that being a man and father is about and today's women are not having it at all. I say this only because my three very "active" adult daughters have been constantly challenging me to substantiate my dunning kruger induced opinions. Over time they have given me many such gifts.

 

The better to understand your comments.

So, are you male to female? Or female to male?

 

I'm a woman.

 

No. A good parent would be willing to sacrifice EVERYTHING for their children up to and including their own life. The rise of selfishness where parents love themselves more than their offspring is the primary reason that we have so many messed up people.

 

As I understand the term transgender in LGBTQ self defining taxonomy represents something akin to Family in biological taxonomy. It covers a number of genus and species. Just an observation to aid communication.

 

Scratchin' my friggin' head over it. WTF?

 

That's very insightful of you! That is absolutely true!

 

Born female, then? And now identifying as a male?

 

LOL

 

The "study" actually reminds me of when pranksters got so-called peer-viewed journals to publish their absurdities, such as the "'thematic analysis of table dialogue' to uncover the mystery of why heterosexual men like to eat at Hooters," the only difference being the "researchers" of this "study" apparently are serious.

Define what a woman is.

 

Poverty is domestic slavery. Whether your daughters like it or not somewhere between 85 to 95% of families living in poverty are headed up by single women. When you reduce a families earning potential by half poverty is all but guaranteed.

 

How wonderfully "dismissive" you are with the usual ad hom strawman mix. Its like you all have the same algorithm.

 

Especially at an 8 buck minimum wage.

 

The study is an exercise in circular logic: its argument is essentially because Trump is a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe, he's a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe. Thusly, he's a racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe.

 

Unbelievable. righto. Its all about poor Donnie Peachs biggest victim in the history of victimhood.

If it wasn't for fallacy you'd have absolutely nothing to say. Its quite a remarkable and rare talent actually.

 

Minimum wage doesn't matter whatever you make minimum wage it still won't be enough to live on and there will be a hell of a lot more people making it. When I first started working I loved minimum wage hikes well before I retired I came to hate them. Any raise that is not directly tied to an increse in productive capacity is inherently inflationary.

 

oh? so if that is the case then it stands to reason that wages should have been going up in some reasonable proportion to productivity increases.

Sorry to disappoint. should I assume you understand that the gap increasing is a really really bad thing for workers?

 

I am going to chance giving new meaning to crank's abbreviations-- FTM or MTF-- for myself, as Foot to Mouth or Mouth to Foot by putting in my 2¢ in what seems somewhat of a private conversation, but which is taking place in an open, public forum; my apologies, in advance, if you feel I am overstepping any bounds.

In an overall, general sense, it shouldn't, "matter," at all, whether one is a male, female, transexual, bisexual, straight, or homosexual. But these terms have utility, nonetheless, for other than that general sense; they supply information that may be considered have some worth, in the context in which they are being used. Certainly, this information is personal, & you have the right to keep it private.

Seeing as you were open w/ crank about being a transexual (as well as about other elements of your sexual history) it seems to me not fair to give him a hard time about being curious as to get a clearer picture of what that term means, in your particular case. I'm absolutely NOT saying that I think you are under any obligation to share further info.; only that, even if you consider, "transexual," like male or female, to be its own, integral class, incapable of being more precisely distinguished, crank shouldn't be thought of as being prejudiced or anything of that sort for merely asking for more information, for his own understanding, about a topic which it is not unreasonable to believe that he felt you had no qualms about discussing. Under these circumstances, if you are not comfortable getting any more specific than you, thus far, have been, I am simply suggesting that your stating this would seem a sufficient and, to me, more appropriate response than your defensive-sounding reply, "why does that matter?"

This is merely my impression of a small portion of your exchange with crank, offered for whatever value, if any, you find in it. Believe me in saying that I mean no offense, & only have the effrontery to offer an opinion because of the venue in which I am reading this conversation.
Respectfully,
