and more chance (which is to say any chance) of a hymen.




What's so attractive about a hymen?

I really don't think this is compatible with the state of law. In the sense that I don't think it's true, because otherwise the law would use 16 instead of 18.




Isn't 16 still more common than 18 though, with the historical trend being even lower and the recent rise being due to moral concerns (ie, finger-wagging at men for liking women the wrong age)?

I don't think his main concern is justice.  Consider the following two quotes from separate parts of his article (emphasis mine):




While a bit more theologically florid than any comparable beliefs ascribed to Lindsay Clancy, a similar theme has emerged in her case — Lindsay also did not go around openly announcing plans to kill her children, and the government is alleging this proves the malicious forethought of first-degree murder. But like Andrea, according to Resnick, Lindsay’s reasons for this intent-concealment were explicable per the internal logic of her psychosis. She did not want to trigger a situation whereby police, social services, or some other agency/individual would have cause to intervene and take the children away, because she believed it was her own solemn duty to protect them. And protecting them required that they be strangled to death with exercise bands.




and




Women empathize with Lindsay Clancy not because they want to "excuse" the triple homicide of her small children -- that's ridiculous -- but because she was overwhelmed and literally begging for help, telling her husband/mother/etc. she was having intrusive thoughts of harming the children, received woefully inadequate treatment that only made things worse, her mental state deteriorated even further, the tragedy happened, and now the state wants to prosecute her for first-degree murder -- as though she's Jeffrey Dahmer or something.  Which is also ridiculous




So women are supporting her because she was "literally begging for help" while she was intentionally concealing her condition?  She "received woefully inadequate treatment", but they conveniently leave out what "adequate" treatment would have been outside the implied "magically make her feel better without any negative trade-offs like civil commitment or other forced treatment".


He's just making heat to make heat.

In this case, I think there's an even bigger issue: she made no effort to mitigate the effects of her purported illness on others.  If you are truly seeking treatment for an illness that is widely recognized as threatening to others--particularly vulnerable others you have special responsibilities toward, you have a duty to put their safety over your own.  Why didn't she separate herself from her kids?  Why didn't she tell her husband "I'm not getting the care I need, I'm going to stay somewhere else for a while."?  It's not "anti-psychiatry" and "anti-healthcare" trends that cause this.  It is entitlement.  "Healthcare exists to ensure I don't have to make any sacrifices.  I'm already struggling, why should I have to take on these burdens.  They failed me."

I was referring to the reaction to the case by onlookers the OP was asking about ("I’m more asking about the people online arguing that she is a victim and her being prosecuted/this situation is an example of sexism."), which I think is based far more on this level of "culture warring" than on the technical details of the case.

The strong argument is very strong and is the rule of the land - not guilty by reason of insanity is a thing and should be a thing. If it applies to her case or not is a technical discussion, which is causing problems.


*There are very specific rules for this and this really should be the case.




The problem with this is that women's behaviors have historically been attributed to "mental illness" to a far greater degree than men's, and this disparity has been widely criticized as sexist against women due to the negative impacts it has on women.  To fall back on that defense in this case because it is beneficial smells a lot like women wanting to have their cake and eat it too.

You can tell yourself that it was only 0.01% of the population that was responsible for that, but I think 0.01% is closer to the number of how many city-dwellers didn't start chimping out.




When all the other entertainment venues are closed, what else are you going to do in a city but riot?

Funny how it's never the attractive ones that are into the exhibitionism-style nudity, isn't it.




Well, not so much funny as expected: the goal is ensuring that women can freely exploit their sexual attractiveness to extract benefits from men without having to fear attracting undesired attention from doing so.  The "attractive ones" don't need to resort to exhibition-style nudity to exploit their sexual attractiveness, so they have less incentive to engage it.

Another possibility slightly different than "regular intrasexual competition" is she chose the program she did because she wanted to get away from other women due to cultural differences and is worried attempts to bring in more women will import that culture she wanted to escape.  That was the primary motivation for a number of my female colleagues.

I'm old enough to remember feminist-as-in-liberal, but today feminist-as-gynosupremacist is the rule of the day.


It's all very confusing, like how parties that call themselves "conservative" are far more reform-minded than parties that are not, how self-proclaimed "liberals" have nothing to do with classical liberalism, etc.




Feminist-as-gynosupremacist is just feminist.  It is not possible to be feminist without being gynosupremacist.  Gynosupremacy is fundamental to and inseparable from feminism.  The "feminist-as-in-liberal" you recall had as much to do with classical liberalism as your 'self-proclaimed "liberals"' do.  The only difference between feminists of the past and feminists of today is that feminists today have more power and thus fewer of them feel the need to hide their bigotry behind the trappings of liberalism.


@faceh:




Its schizophrenic to say that nudity (at least, topless nudity) isn't a big deal and shouldn't come with social Disapprobation but then make a law to criminalize posting a person's nudes online.




The reason feminism is fundamentally gynosupremacy is that it asserts the supremacy of the female perspective.  They seek to define women's perceptions of men's actions as the objective truth over men's intentions, and simultaneously women's intentions as the objective truth over men's perceptions of women's actions.  In the case of nudity, the "schizophrenia" you see is a direct result of this: women perceive men as sexualizing them when they are topless and believe the men are in the wrong because they didn't intend for the men to perceive them that way.  They believe they should have complete control over how men perceive them.  If men are perceiving them in an undesired manner, that must be addressed.

I don't know how you can do software development without doing math.  Maybe they aren't doing the kind of math that people usually recognize as math, because we never bother to teach things like algorithms or automata as "math", but they are very much doing math.

But she considers things spicy that I can't taste any spiciness in. Any hint of pepper (as in salt and pepper) is too spicy.




One thing to keep in mind is that kids are typically much more sensitive to food than adults are, due to a combination of more taste buds, thinner and more delicate membranes, and lack of desensitization from exposure.  Spiciness in particular is quite literally a measure of how much of a chemical irritant a food is and while tolerance can be trained, children raised in milder food cultures usually don't get enough exposure to develop a tolerance for quite some time.

I wouldn't even go that far, but then again, I think that indifference is arguably worse than hate, and the current regime is CLEARLY indifferent to male struggles.




The current regime is indifferent to male struggles.  It alternates power with a regime that actively hates them.

I think there's an important difference of kind here: "goonerbait cultural material directed at women" is mocked as being immature and shallow, at worst it is seen as an understandable form of escapism for women too unattractive (not necessarily physically) to find a decent guy.  On the other hand, "goonerbait cultural material directed at men" is treated as dangerous material that teaches men to harm women.  It is regularly banned or censored by large corporations and governments.  The UN has multiple outstanding demands to Japan to legally constrain the media in order to fight "violence against women".

However bad Hollywood is, these things aren't accepted in showings of western movies.




This is just not true.  My wife and I stopped going to theaters years ago due to people's behavior.  Simple shouting at the screen is nothing compared to the shenanigans of some screenings we went to--eg, people were throwing toy snakes around the theater when Snakes on a Plane came out.

It's quite simple.  The Venn diagram of my definition of safety and their definition of safety is not a circle.  So long as that is the case, their regulatory framework will not take harms I consider important seriously and will actively prevent me from doing things I consider harmless.  That isn't taking safety seriously, that is taking control seriously.

No, the argument is that neither the AI companies nor the regulatory regime will take AI safety seriously.  Instead, they will take AI control seriously and that is a safety threat to those who aren't aligned with said AI companies and the regulatory regime they are pushing for.

Empirically the two camps of "AI safety" most likely to achieve anything in the foreseeable future are the frontier-lab aligned teams that want regulatory capture on models in order to secure their own positions, and the NIMBY anti data-centre anti-AI never build anything populists; neither of these camps are particularly aligned with the original mission of AI safety




The first of these camps is literally the original mission of AI safety.  AI "alignment" has always been nothing but regulatory capture to secure the power of AI for those who see themselves as benevolent dictators.

Imagine the city folk who control all the laws trying to make it difficult for move your RV or boat between your house and your cabin. I expect there will be a lot of that.




From the rural perspective, it's all the "city folk" (well, suburbanites anyway) who actually have RVs and boats they transport between the house and the cabin.  If anything, it'll be city folk mandating regulations forcing rural communities to spend even more money accommodating them while pricing the locals out even further.

"The map is not the territory."  OP's point is that they aren't going to dispute your label of "Nazi".  You are attempting to change their behavior by extending the label of "Nazi" to cover them and in doing so tar their behavior by association with "Nazis".  They are saying they would rather accept the label than change their behavior to suit you.  You are now doubling down on the shaming attempt by trying to reinterpret this as a move towards the more agreed upon definition of the label rather than the refusal to bow to your shady tactics it is.

Of course, most people also disagree on the exact definitions of these terms, so there isn't true consensus on their "wrongness".

No idea who this is (other than a Google search telling me she's some kind of reincarnated moe light novel character) but that's some real "She's actually a thousand-year-old dragon" energy.




Do you know what the word "prepubescent" means?  It is not a synonym for "child".  It specifically refers to someone who has not yet started puberty.  Misuzu Kamio is canonically 16-17, ~5'2", with a prominent hour-glass figure indicating fully-developed secondary sexual characteristics.  Is she a child?  Yes, she is a teenager, which is considered a child by most modern people.  She is clearly not prepubescent.

No, the cis women sit back and let their knights do the fighting for them, as women have always done.  You are too focused on the puppets to notice the puppeteers.
