The term tankie came to be after instances of the USSR suppressing protests by driving tanks into the protestors. Like the Prague Spring in Czechoslovakia in 1968. This resulted in people, in the west, who are leftists, defending these actions, as some sort of necessity, in order to maintain communism. The defense of the extreme authoritarianism used here, IE using tanks to kill people, is where the term "Tankie" comes from.

Not delusional, the people who matter to them are generally doing quite well, so the economy is doing well. Just like the gilded age, where the "economic boom" funneled truck loads of money into the coffers of the vanderbilts, carnegies, clarks, melons, etc., while the average person was struggling under terrible life conditions.

i didnt say they could, I said not all biological women can, this is the assumption made by people that causes issues. The other are transmen who find themselves without proper sanitary supplies due to assumptions based on being see as the gender they transitioned to.

That is a whole different issue than what was said by the previous person, who said the idea behind believe women is for authority figures to take their allegations seriously and do their jobs properly, and investigate the claims. It was not mocking as, in the context of what the previous poster said, and not the expanded issues of the system beyond the scope of this, it would take something like psychic knowledge, or some impractical expectation of humanity. They said doing their job impartially, and impartially is the important word here, as everything you brought up is a result of not doing their job impartially, and thus, not correctly.

Yeah, I was interested in giving it a try, and then a friend sent me a couple links discussing her culty stuff, and weird claims like Hitler wasn't evil, and shit.

Yeah it sucks, I wanted to get some incense and oils for the same reason, everywhere was like a laundry list of impossible claims about this stuff, some of the oils even claimed ingesting them had medicinal properties, then, when I looked it up, it said you definitely do not ingest that shit.

What way is better than investigating allegations impartially? Do you know of something better that wouldn't require someone to be psychic, or require everyone coming to some nigh impossible position where no one lies?

I mean those are on a person by person basis as well. I know women who are physically stronger than most of the men I know, and would be more fit for harder labor than most of them. Women who don't have the ability to have children, or periods, etc. It is best we assess things based on individual capacity, or merit, or whatever, rather than write rules that are completely exclusive to an entire group of people based on broad statistics.

I haven't met a single person who's morals are concrete. Everyone's morals have flexibility, and change over time. Morals are fluid concepts that change in response to a myriad of factors. I doubt you know anyone who hasn't changed moral stances on things throughout their lives, or doesn't believe there are contextual exceptions to morals.

I guess my point is, the idea of roles based on gender, in and of its self, is BS

Why is there so much cruelty? So much us vs. them thinking? Why is the MAGA movement a thing? Watch this video for partial answers.
