[QUOTE=Pascall;51934043][url]https://www.womensmarch.com/march-8th-faq[/url][/QUOTE] So it's not a strike in any way, it's basically a protest to raise awareness for whatever they want to raise awareness for.
[QUOTE]Two-Spirit and gender nonconforming people.[/QUOTE] The fuck does that even mean. So the last womens march was led by a Sharia bitch and now this ones being led by Tumblr. And yall wonder why people don't take you seriously.
[QUOTE=geel9;51934109]So it's not a strike in any way, it's basically a protest to raise awareness for whatever they want to raise awareness for.[/QUOTE] Can you please explain why you have such a massive chip on your shoulder about this? First it was your deep concern for the many hypothetical ethical businesses that will somehow be put out by this. Then it was the fact it didn't fit your definition of an ethical strike. Then it was what are their demands. Now it's 'oh its not a strike actually'. Seriously dude, it's glaringly obvious you have some bizarre grudge against either a) women, b) strikes and demonstrations by workers or c) a mix of both.

What is so "Tumblr" about Two-Spirit and gender nonconforming people, nesto? What is wrong with exploring your identity, or embracing a part of your culture that really speaks to you?

To note: If you're going to criticize something, at least know what it is.

And thats not willful ignorance, I've worked with natives in Wisconsin and have a friend that's Menominee.

[QUOTE=-nesto-;51934397]fluid genderqueer pansexual attack helicopter tumblr shit[/QUOTE] guessing you haven't looked up any of those words either huh? :thinking:
[QUOTE=-nesto-;51934397]Ey, I assumed it was a part of that fluid genderqueer pansexual attack helicopter tumblr shit. Of course I'm not gonna look it up.[/QUOTE] Gonna save you the effort. Gender and sexuality are both capable of being [B]fluid.[/B] [B]Genderqueer[/B] is similar to gender nonconformity (as it says in the actual quote I gave you earlier!) [B]Pansexual[/B] is an attraction to people without regard to their gender identity. There you go. Easy peasy. Please do research before posting thanks!

what is the point of a one day strike. it takes longer than that for a strike to start being really effective. a strike is all about a battle of the wills between the workers holding out without pay and the business holding out without workers until one of them either breaks and gives into demands or they break and return to work because they need the money. setting up one day for a strike then going back to work is a gesture of discontent at most, a gesture many businesses that are actually causing the issues the strikers are concerned about can afford to ignore. if you're going to strike, you don't put an end date on that shit, you have to hold out until your demands are met or you and management can come to an agreement.
[QUOTE=justinl132;51934543]How does this pertain to our argument? Gender Fluidity is non existent, It's either your born a guy or girl. Nothing more.[/QUOTE] Gender and biological sex are not the same thing.

Even if it were, you still have intersex individuals to account for.

I'm on mobile right now and in bed because it's like 3:30 AM but feel free to get at me on Steam later on if you have actual questions. Would rather explain stuff to you or give you links to information rather than have you making doofy posts without researching first.
Isn't one of the organizers of the event a convicted Palestinian terrorist?
[QUOTE=justinl132;51934543]How does this pertain to our argument? Gender Fluidity is non existent, It's either your born a guy or girl. Nothing more.[/QUOTE] why do you deny these peoples existence
[QUOTE=justinl132;51934687]Why don't you give me a crash course on This stuff?[/QUOTE] Intersexuals are people who are born with both ovaries and testes and include various different forms, such as a person with functioning ovaries and non functioning testes, functioning testes but none functioning ovaries, both function, etc. Intersexuals have been hidden for the past few decades because doctors will, without permission "fix" the individual to make them either a guy or a girl, so it's hard to tell who is Intersexual and who isnt (though you may not be able to tell unless they dropped their pants) This is just the tip of the iceberg explanation but hopefully it gives you a better idea just how complex gender really actually is.

[QUOTE=justinl132;51934687]Why don't you give me a crash course on This stuff?[/QUOTE] because you're almost guaranteed not to listen. people like you love to act all ignorant about these issues and ask for explanations then just totally ignore them and continue to bash on it because it gives you a cover of ignorance instead of just being spiteful.
