I really don't get this cultural appropriation thing.

Tefal · 16 Sep 2016 at 23:50

So cab we say that sanitation, medicine and pretty much every modern foundation is white culture and black people cant use it?

there isn't much to get, it isn't particularly logical it just requires someone who is a self identified 'victim' to claim some cultural thing is 'theirs'

no because 'white culture' is the dominant culture

everyone else can take from 'white culture' because 'privilege', 'racism'

but whites have to be careful and apologies lots

never mind that there isn't really such thing as 'white culture' or 'black culture' as though all white or all black people are a homogeneous group

Clearly not enough manual work happening anymore, seems to be turning peoples brains to mush.

Are Trans men not real to you?

Besides the fact that it's Collectivism at its finest (something that can be genuinely dangerous and the polar opposite of free thought), it boggles my mind how these people don't understand that while they walk around shouting about White Supremacy, they're promoting exactly that by saying that whites ARE the supreme race.

That means white supremacist groups aren't fighting FOR white dominance, they're fighting to PRESERVE white dominance. And when they cotton on to that mindset, they'll fight ever harder -- because as humans we'll fight tooth and nail to prevent things we have being taken away from us. If it's something we merely want, we're not so inclined to try that hard.

Do you actually believe that not all people who menstruate are women?
How does a Trans man menstruate?

Or perhaps you didn't actually read what he was quoting.

From his vagina which he would have unless he has had the surgery to form a penis yet.

Or perhaps you didnt read.

Trans man = frmale to male.

And would be using the male toilets, if on hormones with a nice big beard would likley feel very uncomfortable popping in to the ladies to grab the free sanitary products.

Not to mention how the ladies might feel about a bloke being in there

a trans man is a (biological) woman with a mental disorder, they're perfectly capable of mestruating

I stand corrected, I thought a Trans man was a man wanting to become a woman.

However, that Trans man was born a woman so it is true that only women bleed.
I will also defeend that person to be whoever they want to be but the fact is they were originally a woman.

Same here. I have nothing against it and I am a firm believer that everyone should be able to whatever they like with their bodies, be it surgery, drugs or euthanasia. That doesn't stop me thinking there's something quite not right though.

I saw earlier in the news that the British Army now has their very first female in a combat role. I then read further and it turns out when the person joined the army, they were male and have now decided to take hormones. To me that just says we are still waiting for our first female in a combat role. I'm sorry, but they really are not the same.

The slogan is silly but i suppose it makes sense as a trans man will use the male bathrooms.

Peobbaly easier to just put all the free feminine products in a locker aomewhere discrete and let people get them themselevs though as most put in the male bogs are just going to be used for drunkren prabks

We have had women in combat roles for a long time.

As pilots.

I disagree. Cultural appropriation is just entitlement for the ********** to be 'offended'.

Everything is offensive if you try hard enough.

If I dressed up as a cowboy or an Indian at a Western-themed night, then just bloody get on with the night and enjoy yourselves. Make love, not war(craft). PC just creates walls.
