This earth has a weird sense of humour

 

Gallagher had a routine about God smoking pot while creating all the food and critters of the world. How else would you explain the platypus. 

 

So yeah, Mother Nature has a big sense of humor.

 

And I cannot believe that I left Gallagher off my favorite comedians! @Cult Icon

Colorado City Council Decides 11-Year-Old Girls Can Now Walk Topless In Public

Colorado: Allows girls to walk in the city topless

Pedos: it’s free real estate

 

Following a ‘Free the Nipple’ campaign in Fort Collins, Colorado, feminists have won a victory allowing women–and girls as young as eleven–to be bare-breasted in public.

After a three-year lawsuit, activists have won a case where a topless ban from city law has been removed by Fort Collins City Council.

 

The removal of the law will allow girls as young as eleven to legally walk around the city topless, costing the city over $320,000 in fees.

 

Acording to Fox Denver 31:

The Coloradoan reported that Fort Collins City Council agreed Tuesday to remove language in the public nudity code that barred women and girls over age 10 from exposing their breasts in public.

City officials say the ban is expected to be removed Sept. 17.

Officials say a district court judge and a federal appeals court have ruled against the policy in the past two years.

City Council voted in May to stop defending the ordinance in court after spending about $322,000 on a three-year lawsuit.

Officials say the deadline to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court passed, so now the city cannot enforce a topless ban that only applies to women.

KGUN9 reports:

Andy McNulty is their attorney and says the law is an attack on equal rights.

“Any law that says, ‘Women are prohibited from,’ is unconstitutional and really just intolerable in a society that should treat women as equal to men,” said McNulty.

“Everybody should be able to be comfortable on a hot day and if that means taking their shirt of so be it. No matter how you look, you should have the same freedom at the person next to you. And it’s also about equality,” said Hoagland.

“They had been advocating for a while, trying to get the Fort Collins City Council to get rid of a female topless ban in Fort Collins. They’d been unsuccessful, and they wanted to see if we would be willing to represent them in a legal challenge to that ordinance,” said McNulty.

After the courts ruled in favor of nudity, the city appealed to the federal 10th Circuit of Appeals. That court also ruled in favor of topless women.

Fort Collins decided they were not going to try and win at the US Supreme Court.

On the ‘Free the Nipple’ movement, Pluralist adds:

Free the Nipple feminism

Spearheaded by feminists, the sex-positivity movement has gone well beyond combatting “slut shaming” to celebrating overt displays of female sexuality. And in the culture at large, celebrities such as twerk superstars Iggy Azalea and Cardi B exhort women to celebrate their raunchiness as a form of liberation and empowerment.

However, conservative critics have bemoaned the weakening of traditional gender norms, including female modesty. And some feminists have agreed, warning that their lascivious counterparts are playing into the hands of the patriarchy.

All six states in the 10th District – Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, New Mexico, Kansas and Oklahoma – will no longer be able to enforce bans on female toplessness, after the legal battle.

 

 

 

If we don't get control of this shit - In ten or twenty years "pedophobe" will be a thing, mark my words. If you say bad things about pedos you will be branded as a hateful pedophobe.

I dunno, what did he do this time? Did he cry? Did he use newspeak to educate "people-kind"?

 

Things are so crazy since this summer that I'm expecting anything

Not once, not twice, but 3 times.

Usually I don't give a crap about this stuff, but he's one of the many idiots that helped create these culture war standards. So now he has to be judged by the standards he helped create.

 

My guess is that he gets a free pass which means double standards are afoot.

 

Always ends up being rules for thee, but not for me if you're on the right side.

In your article, it seems that he's getting at least "some" backlash.

Is Trudeau the man (or let's say this "individual", I don't want to misgender her/him ) hoist with his/her own petard?

That isn't shit!

 

Imagine if it was the Donald for example; the media, progressives, big tech, etc would going ape shit and would never hear the end of it.

 

There are clear double standards.

I really don't think this will ever happen. I hope it's not wishful thinking but I don't think something as "pedophobe" will ever be a thing.

Then again I've never heard any kind of defense or justification to pedophilia over here. Any kind of justification, or people who would make a "defense" of it is invisible here and these things are unanimously condemned at least in the public eye. 

 

And about the Colorado thing... wtf   The most wtf thing is allowing girls under 18 and even dow to 11.

How can they be so naive? In any case, I don't see that surviving if anything happens. Lets hope nothing happens, but well...

Then again a ban lifting is not forcing anyone to go topless and I doubt parents will allow their 11-12 year old daughters to go around topless in public.

Is the dictionary sexist? Petition calls for Oxford English Dictionary to remove sexist terms for women

 A petition that now has nearly 30,000 signatures and counting on Change.org was started by a simple online search.

Maria Beatrice Giovanardi, a London-based communications and marketing expert, typed the word “woman” into a search engine earlier this summer while looking up information on women’s earnings.

She said she was bombarded with results for synonymous of woman that included words like bitch, piece, bit, mare, baggage, wench, petticoat, frail and biddy.

“I was like, 'What’s going on? Why are these the synonyms?,” Giovanardi, 28, told “Good Morning America.” “I don’t see myself like this as a woman.

“My girlfriends don’t speak like this so it’s a man’s point of view,” she recalled thinking.

Giovanardi learned the information about the word "woman" she saw online came from content produced by Oxford University Press, a department of the University of Oxford in the U.K. that also produces the Oxford English Dictionary (OED).

As Giovanardi looked further into it, she saw more examples of what she described as sexist language, including using sentences like these as examples alongside the definition of women: "‘One of his sophisticated London women"; "Don't be daft, woman!": and "he wondered whether Billy had his woman with him."

"If you look up 'man' you see sentences of what men can be doing as individuals, while with women you see sentences of women as an oppressed group, not as individuals," she said. "Their goal is to portray language but this has a very judgmental bias."

Giovanardi took action by starting the Change.org petition titled, "Change Oxford Dictionary’s Sexist Definition of ‘Woman.'"

 Since June, the petition has drawn 29,926 signatures and counting.

"One of our goals was to have as many signatures as the Oxford student body, which is around 24,000 students, so we achieved that goal," she said. "But the more pressure the better so we hope to get more and more."

The petition has already caught the attention of the Oxford University Press, which dedicated a blog post to responding to the petition.

The post specifies that the content around women called out by the petition comes from the Oxford Thesaurus of English and the Oxford Dictionary of English, which "aim to cover contemporary English usage and are accessible online in a variety of formats."

 "These texts are based on the methodologies of descriptive, corpus-based lexicography, meaning that editors analyse large quantities of evidence from real-life use to determine the meanings of words," the post explains in part. "If there is evidence of an offensive or derogatory word or meaning being widely used in English, it will not be excluded from the dictionary solely on the grounds that it is offensive or derogatory."

Oxford University Press also told "GMA" in a statement Thursday: "Our dictionaries strive to reflect, rather than dictate, how language is used. This is achieved by using an evidence-based approach, drawing on vast collections of written English from books, magazines, journals, and other digital sources."

"Our editors analyse these collections to determine how real people use English in their daily lives," the statement read. "In cases where words or senses are considered offensive, they are clearly labelled as such."

Giovanardi's petition definitely started a conversation, which is what she told "GMA" was one of her goals.

One woman, who identifies herself as a feminist and a linguist, took to Twitter to explain why she didn't sign the petition.

"Lobbying dictionaries to make their definitions fit your political preferences is misguided," she wrote.

 Giovanardi said she plans to keep up the "pressure" with her petition because, for her, Oxford University's reply was not enough.

"Our point is that sexism against someone is not acceptable and it is not okay to have definitions like these about women," she said. "We also want them to remove the sentences that denote women being the property of men, and there’s a lot of them,and make it more inclusive."

And even people who may not sign the petition should walk away from the debate asking themselves questions, according to Giovanardi.

"I hope people ask themselves if are we doing enough to patrol sexism and see how widespread it is and ask if we are we taking it seriously enough," she said. "Because it’s very embedded in every part of society."
