On of my ancestors cut his two fingers off to escape the Russian draft decades and decades ago. I’m not in America and I think I might be disqualified anyway if I were, but I wonder if that’s a modern strategy that could work. It does sound a bit drastic…

I’m very much in favour of gender abolition, but I’m not sure that’s what TERFs who self describe as ‘radical feminists’ mean by the term :p

“Radical” feminism, ie, not true feminism. Hijacking the name to try oppress men ‘in return’ for women being oppressed, or to oppress trans people.

So apparently now “men’s right activists” also doesn’t mean what it is just like “feminist”? I find all this redefinition of words really annoying and confusing :(

Can’t “men’s rights activists” just mean people who advocate for men’s rights? Or better yet, stop with the binary gendered language, and instead advocate for gender equity?

It’s more about experience than age. If you prevent 13 year olds from gaining online experience, they’ll have the same level of inexperience when you expose them to the internet at 16.

The point is that the internet shouldn’t be censored though, we shouldn’t be giving corporations or governments the keys to censor the internet based on any protected characteristics (one of which is age), even if it’s done in a ‘private’ manner. What comes next? Sexuality/gender verification? You can only view porn if you’re the opposite gender? Race verification?

I went from windows to Manjaro to Fedora :p

It’s sexist too

Fascinating article, thanks for sharing!

That’s an interesting fallacy, I haven’t heard it before. I’ll have to note it down, “dismissal from imaginary pamphlet”

This is just more child abuse disguised as “parental rights”. It becomes clear how harmful this is when you realise that not all parents have their childrens best interests at heart (even if they think they do and sincerely mean well) and allowing parents to censor the information children have available to them allows them to censor information that the children learn only too late to prevent harm.

Sex isn’t bad, lack of consent is bad.

Any why do you think sexually explicit content should be censored? Is it perhaps because you live in a puritanical society?

And if you want those kind of dreams it’s Californication…

Could the sidebar include a an explanation of what ADBL stands for?

In what mythology?

Ok can you please explain the joke then? That did indeed go right over my head
