As a way to address the issues of religious headdresses,
cultural appropriation and excessive western sexualizing,
hippie liberal cisgender females in america should start a hair
style trend of wearing their hair in a crew cut with no other
associated meaning than to address these cross cultural
issues,
as a symbol only of intersectional allyship in the broadest
sense. That would basically mean liberal cisgender blonde
haired women in middle america wearing their hair short as a
political statement related only to international issues.

Fall asleep watching woss'ername's infomercials, again ? |
|
| |
Well, at least it's not in other: general... |
|
| |
[let's-all] and [advocacy] - see help file. |
|
| |
So, if I understand correctly, the idea here is that
lesbians should wear short hair as a statement? Or
have I somehow missed the other 90% of this idea? |
|
| |
[Edit. OK, I googled "cisgender" and it basically
means "straight". So the invention is for straight
women to wear their hair short as a statement of
international issues. I still don't get it.] |
|
| |
(Didn't the French do this to collaborators at the end of WWII. ) |
|
| |
Crew cuts have strong political meaning. And crew cut wigs look extremely silly. |
|
| |
Suggest bowl cuts instead.
Bowl cuts just mean your too poor to afford a barber/hair stylist. And wigs are more believable. |
|
| |
Barbers with acetylene torches as a fall back. Let them eat slightly burned and smoking cake. |
|
| |
I don't see how this deals with religious headdresses in
any way. Also, I'm sure there's a culture where crew cuts
or something similar are traditional (well, the military,
but surely a natural culture too), so you could still be
accused of cultural appropriation. |
|
| |
Despite that, though, I'd bun this if not for the let's-
all/advocacy aspect (though I'm open to convincement
that it doesn't qualify as those things). |
|
| |
// I googled "cisgender" and it basically means

|
| |
I see some confusion possibly starting. I'll try to clear it
up and probably cause more confusion. (And this is just
for general clarification purposes. We have cisgender and
straight members here in addition to our LGBT members
and all seem to be well accepted, so I'm not especially
concerned.) |
|
| |
No, gender and sexual orientation are orthogonal.
Cisgender is the opposite of transgender (the prefix cis-
meaning "on the same side of" and the prefix trans-
meaning "on the opposite side of" or "going through (some
threshold)"). |
|
| |
Transgender (minority): your identified gender is not that
typically associated with your sex determined at birth. |
|
| |
Cisgender (majority): your identified gender is that
typically associated with your sex determined at birth. |
|
| |
Homosexual/gay/lesbian (minority): you prefer to have
sex with people the same gender and/or sex as you. |
|
| |
Heterosexual/straight (majority): you prefer to have sex
with people whose gender and/or sex isn't the same as
yours (typically, the opposite within the male/female
binary). |
|
| |
There is some correlation between where someone is in
the first two and where they are in the second two, but
it's not 100%. (And there are other things like bisexual,
asexual, etc., but those are less relevant to this.) |
|
| |
So, basically, all this labelling equates to "Everybody's
different and we could really just move on"?] |
|
| |
I'd like to self-identify as a transbiologist. My soul is
that of a physicist, but I was born with the brain of a
molecular biologist. |
|
| |
We understand from the Intercalary that you also have the body of a 19-year-old. |
|
| |
And we don't believe you have a soul - if you ever did, it was sold long since. |
|
| |
Clearly some confusion. I have do a 19 year-old with
a great body, but it's a single malt. You should never
listen to the intercalary - he's the most nonreliable
member of the family, and that really is saying a
great deal. |
|
| |
So wht's in the big locked chest freezer in the little brick building behind the Old Southern Stables, the one that no-one's ever allowed in to ? |
|
| |
Which Old Southern Stables? The Elizabethan ones or
those new Georgian ones? |
|
| |
Anyway, if it's the freezer I think you mean, that'll be
Findus Crispy Pancakes, and they're Sturton's from
1979. Don't ask why. All I ever got out of him was
"...global shortage..." and "...corner the market...". |
|
| |
But as the crew cut is historically a men's style, couldn't this
be misinterpreted as an obliviously self-denigrating attempt
to gain respect and opportunity by trying to appear more
masculine? Of course the wearer could also have a disclaimer
tattooed on her forehead. |
|
| |
//a nanny state who used to have a monopoly on media// |
|
| |
Wait a minute; when was this historical period when a nanny
state had a monopoly on media, in any of the English- speaking
countries? |
|
| |
It's possible you're confusing "monopoly" with "consensus",
[bigsleep]. There are at least three reasons why a strong
consensus may emerge in favour of a proposition P, viz., |
|
| |
1. P is true.
2. There is a conscious system of coercion to enforce assent
to P, enforced by people who are indifferent to truth.
3. P forms part of an ideology which many people find
comforting, so that they believe it to be true. |
|
| |
The consensus that the world is not flat is probably an
example of case #1. The consensus that Stalin played a
pivotal role in the 1917 revolution (a consensus which could
be found in the Soviet Union in, say, 1930), is probably an
example of case #2. Some aspects of the current
consensus, from which you dissent, are probably examples
of case #3 while others are probably examples of case #1. |
|
| |
If you characterize these as if they were mostly case #2,
and propose a "get angry" agenda appropriate to case #2,
then it gets harder to unpick the tangle of cases #1 and #3
which, I suggest, is where most elements of the consensus
can be found. |
|
| |
#2 #3 also have gain and inertia from the great economic system flywheel. |
