If the moon doesn't oppress women, then why is the menstrual cycle the same length as the lunar cycle?

Checkmate, ~~atheists~~ astrologists!

Thats only cis women though.

And also some trans men.

And some genderqueers.

So...

in other news, you're not racist if you only oppress 98% of black people but allow a small number through.

Depends how fine a mesh youre using, moisture content, all sorts of stuff im.not an expert in.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

okay, yes, I agree, but your mesh is poor in the point you were making. It's not transphobic to say that society is misogynistic if it makes life hard for people with afab anatomy. And uh... that the moon is oppressing women too I guess? What were we even talking about...

Rebellion against heaven, mocking the laws of man and god as we shatter the spheres of oppression that mock us nightly and, you know... Do stuff.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

sounds like we're in agreement

But not because they're bigot-rocks, just because its cool. Whether they're bigot rocks or not.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

might be bigot-rocks, but it could just be cheese. We should send some witchy astronauts up to double-check :)

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The astronauts aren't witchy. Youre thinking of the rocket scientists.

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

No i mean astronauts tend to be 'right stuff' test pilot types, even today.

But rocket scientists have historically all been into the weirdest esoteric shit. Maybe correlation with handling all thatvrecursive math, idk. The nazi set were like allin the thule society, the american JPL guys were all doijg weird wizard shit out in the mojave-jack parsons, in one of the many sex cults he partook of, actually got cucked by (and managed to be weirder than) L ron hubbard. The soviet rocket scientists were all cosmists, and if you dont know what that is, look it up, it's genuinely cool.

This has at least historically been a real thing. Though today as far as i know it's just a milder version of sysadmins; more trans women and furries than you'd expect.
