I simply restate, neither women nor men require a descriptive when one is stating his or her sex/gender.



Show me a license that says "trans" anything.



It is to garner attention.



Just like ol Senator Green, he could have just said he was censured because he was a man. 



He added the "black" adjective to gain attention.



My alias could have been feller, but I added the adjective regular to distinguish me from any other fellers.



One could argue that this is to garner attention for myself.



Go ahead, argue that.

Those are not being used to identify gender. A is A, so no prefix is needed to identify an A an A.

If you need to add a prefix to properly define something, that means it modifies the definition.

Why is there a difference between gender, race, and age when it comes to prefixes?



So by your logic (a prefix modifies the definition), a short person is not a true (modified) person?

calronmoonflower
1 up, 5h, 1 reply
A transracial person would be the same as identifying an ethnicity that doesn't match their biology.

Transagist people would identify as younger and older than their physical age.

A transexual person identifies in a way that doesn't match their biological sex.

Trans is a prefix that modifies the definition, such as Transavia mean the land beyond the forest. And Pennsylvania mean Penn's forest. If you missed is sylvania means "forest land" or "place in the woods".



If you truly believe that transwomen are women, just call them women. Adding tans points out that that they are different from women, and in very few circumstances would it matter.

Some people really don't age physically or mentally at the normal rate. It's been widely excepted for longer than transgenderism. This isn't even referring to the new idea that age is just a social construct.

An adult with a learning disability is not a 10-year-old. Some random article saying age is a social construct doesn't make it true. I mean, one of the first rules we all learned when first using the internet is, "Not everything anyone says is true".
calronmoonflower

I didn't say learning disability, some people don't age mentally at the average normal rate. This is often related to poor impulse control and lack moral development. Biologically and adult but needing some more time to become mentally and adult. lack of socialization can cause this too.



Some people don't physically age properly either, some not at all and others too fast.

In fact child birth can affect a women's biological aging, at first it is speed up when caring and then rebounds to be less than before pregnancy.



A rather unusual case is that astronauts have time pass slower when in space due to relativity, but that's barely noticeable as of yet. Maybe some day we'll have people that are technically hundreds of years old and in really only live a few decades.

How is it sexist to not be angry about a woman choosing a bear over a man in a theoretical (fake) dilemma?
calronmoonflower
1 up, 5h, 1 reply
It fits squarely in the definition.



sexism, "Sexism is discrimination or prejudice based on a person's sex or gender. It can include negative attitudes, beliefs, or treatment of people based on their sex. Sexism can affect people of all genders, but it's most often directed at women and girls. "



As a rather large man with a big frame, I get discrimination and fear from both men and women because of that alone, rather than my actions. It's not all negative, but it is sometimes noticeable.
MrMcMemer

The dilemma wasn't specifying "a rather large man", it was just "a man". 



People who choose bear are not basing their answers on the physical appearance of a man, they only know that it's a man.

Yes, it could be a tiny weakling man and a female body builder, but men in generally are naturally larger and stronger than women. But nice pinpricking to dodge the point. It would be even worse if they man was on the lower end of the power dynamic because that drastically lowers the chances of assault from the man.

To quote you, "It would be even worse if they man was on the lower end of the power dynamic because that drastically lowers the chances of assault from the man."

It would mean that the decision is based not on any reasonably based fear, but more on them being male alone. It makes is more a clear cut example of sexism that someone would risk death over a situation that made them uncomfortable with little danger.

Yes, I agree with that. The bear is more likely the threat however. Leaping to the worse conclusion about people would be more likely from someone that has experienced trauma. I've actually ran across an old term "man fear" describing an unreasonable fear of men as a result of abuse. I'd put that in the category of mental illness.

Either way, it's literally not an issue for you if a stranger on the internet would rather be with a bear in the woods.

Fear can come about from trauma, but isn't the only source. To dismiss this would lessen the impact that trauma has on people.



And as someone that is treated differently due to being rather large and male, sexism of this sort has affected me. You're assuming my experiences rather than asking.

Lessing the trauma would be good, denying the impact of the trauma is bad. You should have got the meaning from the context, fear from trauma can make it hard to live normally impacting everyday life. Don't deny the impact.

I can understand unease being alone with a strange person, but most people will not do that. You're more likely to get help than to be harmed. Bears might leave you alone, but it's more likely to attack than a person. It might not kill you either and just leave you to slowly die in horrendous pain.

I'd rather not be alone with a stranger is a secluded spot. But it's still better than the bear.

Sexual violence is a rather lose term that includes a pat on the butt used to inflate numbers.

The behavior is still unacceptable, but don't confuse the two.

8 out of those 10 rapes are from someone the person knows and nearly half are as minors.

Bears don't get as many people due to lack of contact, rather than unwillingness.

Men are at risk of rape too, so you being doubly sexist here. Playing the victim card doesn't excuse your own sexism and prejudice. It's the same basic argument racists make against minorities.

You're supporting people being judge based on gender rathe rather actions. That is the definition of sexism.



sexism

noun

sex·​ism ˈsek-ˌsi-zəm 

1

: prejudice or discrimination based on sex

especially : discrimination against women

2

: behavior, conditions, or attitudes that foster stereotypes of social roles based on sex



And "sexual assault" is a vague term. It include both minor and severe actions. As such I've need "sexually assaulted" with no trauma, while other forms can carry as much trauma as rape. The vagueness of the term is used to inflate numbers. A proper breakdown should be by degree of the actions in multiple categories rather than a lumping term.

It's a theoretical dilemma. A woman choosing a bear over a man because many women have bad experiences with men is not sexist.



It's disturbing when people cannot empathize with a woman being fearful of a random man.



So you were SA and had no trauma? Okay, that's great for you, but not everyone is like that.



I'm pretty sure the women who expressed their opinions on this dilemma didn't look up SA statistics before making their answers.
