I was living in conservative Singapore for a long time, and didn’t réalisé how blind I was to the gender revolution taking place around the world in progressive countries. I now live in Toronto, Canada and my work as an architect has coincidentally intersected with the 2sLGBTQ+ community here. I am working with them on a couple of projects, and it has raised my consciousness to the systemic discrimination of non-binary people. The premise of the this site now strikes me as being non-inclusive and perhaps obsolete. What do you think?

I am very against modern (western/european) feminism which is in many ways just a bunch of loud-mouthed attention-seeking idiots falling into the acts (free the nipple, acting/dressing cheaply, etc.) that original feminism was against (sexual objects/male entertainment). I rarely hear them protesting actual discrimination (oh there's some but they're not the norm, not when you've sluts like the Kardashians claiming to be "feminists") & their ideas of a protest for many is bearing their breasts & writing some stupid slogan (turning them more into a joke than anything worth respect).

But then modern feminism is due more to the 2nd wave feminism which copied a lot of the hippie-era ideology (so much for their originality).

And thus not many are real feminists. Many, after all, wouldn't know hardship or discrimination due to their sex if such fell out of the sky & landed on their lap. Back in their mothers, grandmothers & great-grandmothers era after all running their mouths & running about like the local prostitute would have caused a lot of problems for them not have them clapped on the back & told "good twit".

Below, in comparison, is a real feminist. This is a woman worthy of respect. Not many others (particularly in modern western society) can say the same.
And I say that as a 4th generation feminist whose grandmother fought her way (on her own hook, having never remarried her equally poor school boyfriend) from dirt poor uneducated to educated quite well-off property/landlord owner.

Saw a post ( Guys, what is your favourite hair length for a women?) and the votes are overwhelmingly straight. So curious as to why.

Is it a racist thing? Curly hair = African

Is it some cultural thing? I know there are Jews who straighten their hair because of discrimination so it is a related cultural thing?

Is it some jealousy/insecurity thing? Straight hair is uniform (even, in ways, bland) compared to waves or curls so do you perceive straight hair = less interest/competition?

Is it a byproduct of mama straightening her hair? If you grew up with a mother/siblings/aunt who straightened her hair maybe you grew up perceiving straight = good.

Is it a social media thing? I know people, particularly younger and/or insecure ones, depend heavily on social media for their perception of what's attractive so is it that?

What is it?

So my college told me I cannot record notes anymore because it goes against the wiretapping law.. However I have a physical disability and it is easier for me to take notes this way. The law clearly did not consider individuals with disabilities when making this law and thats a problem. The law is also outdated meaning this technology did not exist when the law was passed.
