  Remember when Velma pissed everyone off equally and there was a brief moment of bipartisan unity? That was fun.

  Matt Walsh’s movie “what is a woman

  I didn’t know who Matt Walsh was, but Googling him these tweets are the first things that popped up. I can see why people react badly to him.

  This is a good time to remember that feminism has killed far more people than the atomic bomb. It is perhaps the most destructive force in human history. Trans ideology, its off shoot, is competing for the title.

  I was already looking forward to watching Oppenheimer but then I saw a bunch of people on Twitter complaining that it mostly features white men and it isn’t inclusive enough and now I’m even more looking forward to watching it

      “Just because there are two sides doesn’t mean they both have points worth listening to.”

      I’m well aware of what the right’s “side” is. It’s bigoted and out of date. Unless they suddenly start accepting people for who they are I don’t need to give them any more of my time or thoughts. That’s not being “dug in” or “stubborn”, it means I’m saying no to hating people and they need to change their stance if they want to get me to vote for them ever again.

        Ironic considering the people that won’t accept themselves for who they are.

        Adults can be trans all they want, call yourself whatever gender you want - just stop experimenting on children with surgeries and drugs.

    You can think whatever you want about him, that’s not the point. The point was that the actual movie was basically him giving “experts” enough rope to hang themselves with, and hang themselves they did. It was about pointing out the absurdity of the situation, a situation where not even the people spouting the views could give answers.
