Well said. In addition to these stories demonizing trans people (or in this case, masc-looking cis people) they also fragilize women. We normally celebrate women in combat sports as feminist symbols, but suddenly we can't stomach these delicate little angels being beat up.

I don't know a ton about boxing, but in MMA fighters made similar comments about fighting Ronda Rousey, Cyborg, Joanna Jedrzeczyk, and Amanda Nunes. "I've never been hit that hard." "She completely overpowered me."

We already have a way of separating athletes based on their ability. It's called competition. Sometimes you're just outmatched.

And later in the movie Barbie talks about feeling silenced and ignored and Ken says something like, "It doesn't feel good, does it?"

Is this the same as "Class Action Park"?

Totally agree.

Sure, in general people had an easier time buying a house in 1960, but that doesn't account for individual hardship, and this attitude certainly doesn't help people who need a place to live right now.

Wow, this is an unfair take and very judgemental. I can think of a dozen reasons why an adult might have trouble writing a letter aside from being "mentally deficient." Dyslexia, anxiety, poor education, not being a native speaker, ADHD, etc.

Trust me, I thought the ad was lame and a bleak use case for AI, but you don't have to crucify a parent for doing their best to help their kid.

These are good questions. Not all arranged marriages are forced or abusive. It seems alien to me as an American, but some people value having their family vet potential partners.

Nihilist activism? My choices might turn out to be inconsequential, but I'm doing what I can anyway.

I'm glad you're safe.

I want to point out that psychopathy is a colloquial term, not a clinical one. The most popular set of criteria, the Psychopathy Checklist - Revised, is not empirically reliable or valid. Its creator Robert Hare has made a lucrative career out of convincing the world (and the prison system) that psychopaths are Definitely Real. The PCL-R is used to justify harsher punishments and longer prison sentences, and it's completely made up.

Article deleted, and the only other sources I can find are a couple tweets. Is anyone able to find a source before I make an angry post on social media?

You got me. I made up a story so I could get my one upvote.
