U.S. Senate Approves Anti-Discrimination Bill Endorsed by Tim Cook

Again, you don't know what the hell they would have done. Did Clinton play 'damsel in distress' as Sec. of State? Did Palin as Gov. of Alaska? Haley? Kay Orr? Not a single woman has played that card that you think they have played; Not even Giffords.

As I already explained, I never said what any of those people would do. I merely explained, how a great many people would react if a woman was chief executive and lied in a certain way.

I also explained why many women are content to have a chivalrous male bootlicker front for the matriarchy, rather than have one of their own do it for them. Manipulating men to front for women has long historical traditions. As far as I know, it could be an ingrained evolutionary characteristic.

You are seriously starting to sound like a person who is bitter and cynical because they were messed over too many times by woman, and then were kicked by other women when they were already down; either that, or acutely chauvinistic.

Very chauvinistic and bitter indeed. And to be honest, an insult to every man who loves the woman they are with.

You mean like what we already have with the Civil Rights Act of 1964?

No, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 does not confer any rights to property and privacy, to anyone. At least, not in any significant fashion. And, it's only a federal law. It's very easy for chivalrous bootlickers to change it whenever they want.

Congratlations!

For bringing yet another child into an already overpopulated world.

Say that to the next woman who comes around with a newborn child and we'll call it even.

I get the feeling "agreeable demeanor" translates roughly as "knows her place".

Yes. Somethings are strictly my business, and some things are strictly hers. Then there are some things that lie in between. She definitely has to differentiate one from the other -- know her place as well as I do mine.

Your 'great many people' is severely miscalculated. Try just you, stomping your feet because you honestly believe that we are kowtowing to women, especially after spending the first century of this country treating them as inferiors.

Perhaps Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan may be a better fit for you than the USA. They have governments you are looking to live under.

Happily married father of two children, who gladly will know that both women and men are equal and will be treated as such, and with out such bitterness that you have shown.

Push an 8 lb. human out of your behind and I might be a little more earnest in my congratulations.

I deposited my sperm in a woman, waited nine months, and a baby popped out. Congratulate me!

Wow. That must have been really hard on you.

Something has to be hard to do for someone to be proud of it? A father can't be proud of his new baby just because nature deemed his role in the making of that child to be pleasurable and the woman's role tough?
citizenzen said:
No more accountable than you.

But again, congratulations for doing something that occurs 4.2 times every second.

It's a real unique accomplishment.

Seriously, would you ever say that to someone in the real world? Something has to be unique to congratulate someone? I got a promotion! So what, happens all the time! I graduated College! Who hasn't? People have kids all the time so you act like this? I'd love to see you have the balls to act this rude at work. Hey my wife and I just had a baby girl!!! You roll your eyes and say so what, happens all the time....

And now all the proud papas rise up.

I apologize for diminishing an accomplishment of procreation.

I shouldn't mess with Mother Nature and how well she programmed all of you.

No, not rising up. Just pointing out how absolutely rude and ridiculous your posts were. You're obviously one of those childless people who think the world is overpopulated and have some crazy bitterness against us breeders. So sad for you.
Again, I'd love to see you act like this at work and not on a forum.

I'd speak out against overpopulation.

I might do it with a little more tact, but I think most of use are more polite dealing with others face-to-face than we are in this forum.

But this subject is off-topic.

So the last word is yours.

Love the "last word is yours" post after you gave the last word by refusing to continue....

I probably shouldn't have said anything at all as it's invading someone else's privacy. And it certainly is invading privacy if I say any more.

There are a whole host of reasons why someone might or might not sleep with you (or even to be or not to be friends with you) which go far beyond salaries.

There isn't a significant overpopulation problem. Birth rates are dropping rapidly worldwide.

Those 32 are holding the line against societal degradation. It's homosexuality today. It will be pedophilia tomorrow. Sexual liberation for 13 year olds and up. Transgender, sexual identification are already being pushed into our schools now. It has no place there, but there it is. Pick the bathroom you want to use in middle school. Encourage kids to "figure out" what their sexual identity is. This is a historical calling card of the collapse of society. History backs this up.

"It's homosexuality today. It will be pedophilia tomorrow."
Except there is a huge difference between gay rights today, and pedophilia tomorrow. One is two grown educated adults whom know their own personal interests, and act on it to love whom they are attracted to. The other is a grown educated adult whom is abusing a young uneducated and unexperienced minor whom does not know what they want in life.

Aside from that, whom is crazy enough to use pedophilia as a justification as to not allow to grown adults love each other? LMAO, you can't compare two completely different subjects

I'd agree that homosexuality doesn't translate to pedophilia in any way but this transgender crap is getting pretty obnoxious now. If you have a penis, you are a boy. If you have a vagina you are a girl. I didn't think was so hard. But, for those that are confused....I'm sorry but don't force the rest of the majority to cater to your problems. Life isn't fair. Deal with it. Tough it out. Make it the best you can. But I can't stand the thought of creepy guys claiming they aren't "sure" of their gender so that's the green light to go spy on teenage girls or whomever else. And all the bleeding hearts just seem to want to avoid this very real and possible outcome of these laws being shoved down everyone's throat. Who's policing this?

I swear, this day and age is all about catering to the fringe and that's not how it's supposed to work. Everybody has some insurmountable "problem" that everyone else has to deal with. Enough. And don't send us the bill for this either. There I said it. :)

Actually, studies have shown that the brain can be incongruent with the body's morphology, illustrating that gender is a complex interrelationship between the mind and body, and cannot be summed on based on genitalia.

While certainly a possibility—people are weird—that a "creepy guy" might abuse a given situation should also outlaw subways, elevators, and staircases since "creepy guys" have used those situations to ill effect as well.

Someday, I want to do a study on the use of the phrase "shoved down everyone's throat" and conservatives. It's a weird confluence.

Anyway, largely speaking "bleeding hearts" want people to be able to use the bathroom without fear of harassment. I'm not sure why that's controversial, because it protects teenage girls from creepy men, just as much as it protects a transgendered man from worrying about using the men's room.

And, by consequence, the conservative bellyaching is going to create a situation, in which apparent men will be charging into the women's room and vice-versa, leading to more complicated situations.

As for "policing." Let's just not. Instead, let's allow people to use the bathroom without weird politics, and if a "creepy guy" gets caught spying on teenage girls, punish him.

Yeah, but you're at the fringe, arguing about the potentiality for a crime that has rarely—if ever—happened and then creating a whole set of unworkable laws to deal with your apparent fear.

There are solutions. Which includes, simply not going into a panic the minute that someone transgender shows up. Or, adding unisex bathrooms.
 
I realize this post is super old, however the issue discussed then is very appropriate with recent events.

This Bill quickly died in (Republican lead) House.

Since then discrimination of LGBTQ has intensified.
Also violent attacks, Pulse Nightclub was an LGBTQ spot and extreme example.
AG Jeff Sessions allowing "religious freedom", which could allow religious groups to discriminate.
And recently even Trump went to an anti-LGBTQ rally.
