What Is a Woman? Controversial New Movie (1 Viewer)

[dkp993]

For me this is sort of a realization that I've always considered myself overall moderate but skew socially liberal and fiscally conservative.

Exactly what I’ve always considered and called myself too.

I tend to stay away from the socially liberal, fiscally conservative description. Although if I had to pigeon hole myself that would be it. I am very issue by issue though, and some takes of mine would be unexpected within that pigeon hole.

For example, I self describe as pro-life. Yet I disagree with the overturn of Roe v Wade. I just want less abortion, but getting there without making it illegal because it's illegality creates a whole host of new social problems. I wanted to get there through education, responsibility, social support, and contraception. I consider abortion a social ill in most cases, but also understand that trying to create laws about what a woman does with her own body is incredibly thorny and probably not the right way to go about it.

Anyways, I think we should try and reduce tribalism and instead try to consider issues in a vacuum as that will result in better results.

Thanks GB. I wish more people thought this way.

Abortion is just one major spoke in the wheel that runs better with better education.

The goal should be to make smarter kids, everyone claims to want better for their kids, right? 

We are failing miserably.

Making awards all about politics is such a liberal thing.

Well, ever since they ruined the Nobel Peace Prize by giving it to Obama for being black, pretty much all major awards have been about virtue, not actual accomplishment anymore.

They just gave the Presidential Medal of Freedom NOT to Michael Phelps, but to a person who quit on their team (biles) and a whiney liar (rapinoe).

So, yeah, this was probably to be expected.

I dunno.  "Woman of the Year" seems kind of discriminatory to me -- maybe it's time that we opened that award up to guys.
