Conflation due to context?

I think sexual activity adds implied gender relationships that shift how 'dude' is interpreted. While 'dude' can feel androgynous in casual contexts, in a phrase like 'fucked a bunch of dudes,' the sexual framing amplifies its masculine connotations. This shows how cultural norms around sexuality and gender can override attempts at neutrality.

I think it's safe to say that I can be both progressive and critical of authoritarian policies. We can both be elated at FDRs progressive polices that helped usher unprecedented rights to some citizens while condemning him for imprisoning Americans.

I liked FDRs policies for the most part. It's just easy to forget that he went out of his way to imprison Japanese Americans.

I don't like him for his Anti-Philosophy rhetoric. It weakens his position as an academic and as a science advocate.
