    7-year-old transgender child closes down Girl Scout troops

    She's not a boy or a he, guise, she's a girl. Bravo! Bravo! They even got the pronouns right and everything. :rainbow1:

    Boys will be boys, so get used to it. . . Rape that is.

    Why are people disbelieving this story? This happens everywhere, every day. Rape survivors are disbelieved, belittled, blamed, encouraged not to seek justice, ignored... I'm not going to feign shock and outrage here, this is the same ****, different day.

    Is It Any Wonder Dating Is Tough For A Guy.

    No, actually, they can't always. I think you really need to read this and this. Quite frankly, this thread is pretty terrifying for me at this point. :\ Let's not be causal about consent because people just "maneuvering into position" and waiting for a no that can not always be expressed is...

    Abortion - is it wrong?

    24 weeks stll only gives the fetus a 50-50 chance of survival. IIRC it's at 27-28 when fetus viability has better chances. This is really besides the point, though, and I'm not really interested in getting bogged down with this. Most abortions occur in the first trimester. Limits as to when...

    Abortion - is it wrong?

    There's persons who lack some of those qualifiers you have stated as proof of personhood. Yes, fetuses are alive and are human and are quite a bit more than just a lump of cells or a "parasite" or whatever else. Abortion isn't technically murder (which is a strong word for abortion at any...

    Abortion - is it wrong?

    Depends on location. The vast majority of abortions are performed in the first 12 weeks, so it's sort of a moot point.

    Fetus dolls given out to trick-or-treaters.

    I got a 404 on the link, but are any pics of said dolls? I think that I totally want a fetus doll. My friend has one of those small stress balls... and it's shaped like a fetus. Some prolife group was handing them out at a fair. You have no idea how much I want one of those.

    Abortion - is it wrong?

    It's unfortunate but not wrong; and not anyone's business unless they're the one having the abortion.

    Halal/Kosher Query

    Makruh means hated. It's hard to pin down what level of makruh it is, somewhere between makruh tahreemi (so bad it's almost haraam) and makruh tanzihi (undesirable). The reasoning is out of respect for a horse's honor, so basically, because horses are awesome is why. If you want to get...

    Is It Any Wonder Dating Is Tough For A Guy.

    This. And there's some posts that say women have all of the control during sex. What? Who wants an unequal relationship, especially during sex. I'm not the only women who does consent checks during sex, especially with a new partner, male or female. I also expect my partner to do consent checks.

    Halal/Kosher Query

    For Hanafi Muslims (like me), horse meat is allowed but makruh.

    True Muslims: Sunni vs Shia

    Seriously. I think this thread is just the Wahhabis being Wahhabi and the Shi'a being understandably upset. Wahhabis don't just single Shi'a out for abuse, so don't think this is a Sunni vs Shi'a thing. More like Wahhabi vs Everyone.
