    Yes. Sex with women is gay because women are feminine and femininity is gay.

    To be truly straight, only have sex with other men. Men are masculine, that's straight.

    We can solve most of the political problems in western countries with one simple change: an upper age limit on voting.

    If under 18's can't vote, why can those over 70? Having worked in residential Aged Care (Australia), I know the oldies are all still voting and they're voting conservative.

    Nah this is just ageism. Now, I do think there might be a conversation to be had about once medical power of attorney goes into effect if the individual should no longer be permitted to vote, but there's no set age where everybody lacks the mental faculties to vote.

    I've had relatives knocking on deaths door by age 60, and I have a 100 year old relative who drives the Amish around as his retirement gig

    If it’s ageism then there shouldn’t be any minimum age for voting either, no? By your logic, since there’s no set age for lacking the mental cognition to vote, under-18s should be allowed to as well.

    Should it not go for the reverse as well? Some 14 year olds are smarter than a lot of 30 year olds, but I don't ever see anyone advocating for them to get voting rights.

    I see both sides. There is no good way to cognitively test either, as that could be abused as well. Age limits would help, for both voting, as well as term limits for the politicians.

    That said, I believe there is far far far more wrong with the country which if fixed wouldn't even need any of the above to be significantly better.

    an upper age limit on voting

    What would this accomplish other than guaranting the abolition of Social Security and Medicare?

    It'd would prevent the elderly from locking in far reaching, irreversible destruction to the environment because they either don't understand the damage they're doing to future generations. Either that or they don't care, which is highly likely.

    There are plenty of Republicans that pretend to be folksy morons. Tuberville is the genuine article.

    I will concede every girlfriend I've had has been a woman, scandalous I know, and an adult one even.

    It's because of guys like Tuberville that I do not regard myself as a man anymore.

    I mean seriously, masculinity currently is defined in media by folks like Matt Walsh, Ben Shapiro and Joe Rogan (and before them, Donald Trump and Bill O'Reilly).

    When I was a kid, masculinity was defined by the capacity to be responsible for a nuclear bomb and not launch it. Id est, to be able to take care of business without being petty. Then that just became common adulting, and everyone is supposed to do that.

    And now we've got a man in office in the White House who is eager to launch nukes and end civilizations (and has had to be told no more than once regarding nuclear authorization).

    That's the thing. I can't think of a single trait that is preferable for men to have but women not, or for that matter, vice versa.

    I used to be a gender abolitionist, and the only reason I'm not is because I can see how much it means for trans folk to represent at the gender they identify with. (I also hypothesize that it's similarly important for self-identified alpha-males, who just don't feel masculine enough no matter how much they try.)

    Aren't young men turning away from the right in droves? Could be another accusation that in reality is just a confession.

    ICE isn't being staffed by the elderly.

    There continues to be an enormous base of young republicans and religiously indoctrinated conservatives.

    True, its not like theres zero support from that group, but I could've sworn I saw young men were getting fed up with trump & conservatives cuz they aren't following through on anything and everything is more expensive.

    How damaged in the head must you be, to regard "women" as some sort of irrelevant fringe minority group.

    I used to roll my eyes when people talked about how Republicans want to take away women's right to vote. Day by day it's becoming more and more believable.

    Well I'm glad you managed to finally open them after all that rolling.

    I can't think of a time in my life where it hasn't been the case...

    The only people Republicans want voting are old rich land and business owning white men.
