    I understand that the Zara Twitter account is a pisstake account. One of her quotes from last month

    " Part of my peaking and retreat from wokeness has been leaving behind a whole mode of infantile behaviour and thinking. The “zero tolerance of disagreement” mentality. The “labels as identity” mentality.

    The mentality that “identity is valid” but material reality is not."


    Total pisstaker - here is another,

    "What I do know is it is so much safer right now, in domains run by leftists, to be a powerful trans man than it is to be a powerful lesbian, and this feel like a u-turn from the direction of progress in which we had been heading.”


    Just Saying. I found this cool poster on it though.

    How would you still be male, if it is your penis that defines you as such?

    Well Adams apple, hairy arms, legs, beard deep voice, not a woman, balls etc etc....

    It is not your penis that defines you as a male.
    The penis is a male organ.
    These two sentences are two separate truths.
    Why do people want to randomly join them together into a "so what you're saying is.." piece of idiotic deduction?

    And it is not just penises and vaginas that are different organs - in this case reproductive - between the sexes.
    Archaeologists milennia from now will be able to dig up your bones and tell what sex you are. People who are good at it can tell by looking. They don't need scientific instruments.
    Between male and female among the following characteristics there is significant difference
    Jaws
    Waist hip ratio
    Height and weight
    Finger length ratios
    Rib cage sizes
    Lumbar curves
    Pelvises are constructed very differently
    Angle of femurs
    Skull sizes
    Thyroid cartilage
    Teeth sizes. Women have more enamel.
    Conversion of energy into muscle or fat is different.
    Size of trachea and bronchi
    Heart size
    Higher haemoglobin
    Thickness of skin differs
    Amount of body hair
    Higher melanin in males
    Brain size
    Ratio of grey to white matter
    More inter hemispheric connectivity in females
    Amygdala larger in males
    Hippocampus larger in females
    Sensory perception differences. Smell. Pain. Sight.
    Body fat differences
    Hormones
    And so on. And on.
    I think the case could be made for male and female organs more generally, therefore.

    Homosexuality is transphobic because it reinforces the myth of a gender binary.

    So although we must oppose homophobia, we also need to recognise that not being homophobic is a form of transphobia.

    This really isn’t difficult.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    its such a well crafted tweet, the punchline is a killer

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    I'm not a big Twitter user but I do follow Titania. Good for a laugh when you're not expecting it and living proof of Poe's Law.

    Anyone covered this little piece of stoopid yet?

    “We ask it in the name of the monotheistic God… God known by many names and by many different faiths. Amen, and awoman,” said Mr Cleaver, a representative from Missouri and an ordained United Methodist pastor.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,711 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    I think this is a major part of the Titania MaGrath twitter account - I've honestly seen poeple quote her in debates in the same way people occasionally quote The Onion.

    And therein lies the problem with the woke crowd: they aren't offended, they're angry and use the emotions to hide behind the fact that ultimately aren't all that intelligent. Consequently, everything gets blown out of proportion way too much attention in the same way tabloids do.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,732 ✭✭✭✭Tony EH


    The "problem" doesn't just lie with the woke crowd though. The other "side" is just as bad. The ones who love searching out this tripe, getting all worked up about it and then go spreading it around further than it ever would have got in the first place.

    The two camps a choc-a-bloc with cretins.

    Ah the old they're-both-as-bad-as-each-other, last seen on this Island whenever a loyalist paramilitary walked into a catholic area and sprayed a shop full of punters with bullets

    The "other" crowd arent trying to run people off social media and get them fired from their jobs until all opposing viewpoints are silenced, so the false equivalence can go away and ****e.

    Sorry, how is this the same thing?

    For a start, which side represents which in the analogy? Who's just a punter in a shop? Did the punters do something or are they innocent bystanders in the woke or anti-woke crowd just, eh "punting"? Or are the woke crowd armed now?

    If I make the statement that one side is just as bad as the other, regardless of how bad each side in whatever context they are as bad as one another.

    A general thing with the history of the North is to state "look at what the nationalist did", followed by "but look at what the unionist did", and so on and so fore.

    It's very easy to turn around and say "but they are as bad as one another". It has nothing to do with the problems that exist with in the north or describing someone as a terrorist. The poster is just describing the problem with such a statement.

    Kind of like saying "But you started it".

    The poster is just point out that its very easy to say that the woke crowd and the un-woke are as bad as one another.

    The question is where is the middle?

    The middle, in case of the thread topic, is the vast majority of people laughing at the cretins on both sides. Those who claim all sorts of gibberish new paradigms usually on behalf of a group of people who never asked for their disingenuous heroics in the first place, and the other bunch of morons who claim that the sky is falling in because the left, queers, trannies or brown people are coming to take over.

    Each fringe is just as bad as one another in their nonsense.

    And it has fuck all to do with the conflict that occurred in Northern Ireland in any way. That's simply a ludicrous attempt at an analogy.

    Except that that's not what said poster is doing - his terrorist version portrays one side as vicious murdderers and the other as innocent bystanders.

    And even if he did correctly portray it, it's still inaccurate because the woke crowd don't engage the non-woke crowd - they engage what they feel (wrongly or rigthly) are social injustices. So in effect there are three parties instead of two.

    Fruthermore, vengeance is a big part of the Northern Ireland conflict, whist nothing to do with the woke/anti-woke dispute.

    So, if you care to enlighten me as to how "as bad as the other" relates to both conflicts - accurately and simultaneously - I'd love to hear it.

    Danish kids tv-show about a man with a giant penis he can't control and of course the #metoo crowd have gone mad. I'm guessing one of two of the anti-woke crown might be in agreement.

    I was listening to a race debate on UK media recently. They were talking about black visibility, for e.g. in soap operas (yawn) and that sort of thing, mostly TV.
    Proportional representation is not what they are after, it's equal representation, i.e. the same number of black ppl on TV whether it's news, drama, weather forcasting. 50/50 b/w and noting less.

    Sorry to quote myself, but I tuned into RTE today as the lottery numbers were being pulled. Guess what, a Johnny Foreigner presenting the show. Just like I said, the diversity Nazi's want it seen everywhere, like I said even in trivial areas such as weather forecasting, etc.

    Imagine you went to Pakistan and an Irishman was pulling the numbers for their version of the lotto. Or you went to China and a Spaniard was pulling the numbers.

    Any problem in itself? No. But the efforts RTE go to to pander to this diversity nonsense is unreal. The whole point is they went to the effort rather than it was ever a naturally occurring thing in the first place. No way did it come about naturally. No way.
