Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Quote:What’s Current: Leading medical journal slammed for describing women as ‘bodies with vaginas’ https://www.feministcurrent.com/2021/09/27/whats-current-leading-medical-journal-slammed-for-describing-women-as-bodies-with-vaginas/
Quote:•Actually "human milk" would be precise and not insulting if one were comparing women's milk with that of the females of other mammalian species (I've attended to quite a few pussycats). But that was not the intention of the article, in one of the most prestigious medical journals in the world. Sad. •A body with vagina? Was the article discussing fleshlights, blow-up sex dolls or female sex robots? •Apology not accepted •"What does it mean when a narcissist says "I'm sorry"?"

And apparently the readers of the article were NOT happy with The Lancet at all.

Quote:Quote: People With Vaginas, What's Something You Wish You Learned About Your Body Sooner? https://www.buzzfeed.com/hannahdobro/what-do-you-wish-you-learned-about-your-body I should not have included this one.
Quote:Quote:Lancet top editor apologizes to readers offended by 'humans with vaginas' cover quote https://news.yahoo.com/lancet-top-editor-apologizes-readers-231100512.html Yes, this is an article about the non-apology apology issues by The Lancet's editor-in-chief Horton. Quote: Lancet accused of sexism after calling women ‘bodies with vaginas’ https://www.msn.com/en-gb/lifestyle/style/lancet-receives-complaints-and-scientists-quit-over-sexist-cover-calling-women-bodies-with-vaginas/ar-AAONNN0 This link is, too.

There are a number of laws circulating here and in the EU that will push everyone off a cliff into complete and utter mindfuck-land that will have your head twisted so far you'll feel like you're living in a Kafka novel. If I get time, I'll track down those proposed laws and institutional policies, with links.
Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: Quote:Originally posted by SIGNYM: SIX: I think "public good" is a valid concept and phrase, even tho it's been used and abused throughout its lifetime. After all, you would probably accept the term "public bad" so clearly its opposite also exists, if only in theory. All "public bad" means is Government Bad. No Duh. But that's not the equal and opposite to Public Good. Because Public Good is an intentional misnomer. How many times do I have to explain to you that they're changing the meaning of words by using a 2nd word as a prefix to it? The opposite of a White Nationalist wouldn't be a Black Nationalist, would it? Quote:But let me get to perhaps a more essential question: provide for the common defense promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty for us and our posterity Even governments that I believe work reasonably well ... NOT OURS ... achieve the top two, but not the third. It seems to me that, over time, most governments become more centralized and authoritarian. SO is this inevitable? Can it be reversed without revolution, or external force being applied? What do you think?

Quote:Originally posted by 1KIKI: As I mentioned previously, The Lancet is a British publication, so it got a lot of reaction in the British press, and also in other Commonwealth countries and former colonies, like Australia and NZ, which I didn't include. I understand that if tptb had WANTED to make an issue of it, it would be all over the US news as well, British publication or not. I'd be curious to see if Rachel had anything to say, but not enough to even duck. Oh what the heck ... no, duck doesn't have a first-page result for rachel +maddow +"bodies with vaginas"
