I now know Ricky Martin is gay. Now I need to find out who Ricky Martin is.

You may have heard these without knowing who it was.





Somewhat ironic that he is gyrating with a load of females, but I think these were made before he came out.

I listen to that comedian. I mean it’s kind of incredible. here we are in 2024 and this guy is on stage at a political rally. I mean not really I suppose but WTF. I know they’re going hard for the can’t say things anymore crowd. you could hear a few groans in the audience even so. i’m kind of tempted to look up this guy and see what else he’s been doing. as an amateur stand-up comedian. Yeah I know. I’m kind of interested in bad comedy. As a yardstick. but that shit wouldn’t fly it even a free open Mike gig around here. just thinking out loud I guess.

you have to be some sort of asshat to die on your arse telling racist jokes at a Clan.. ahem Maga Rally

It’s like a retreat into oafish pitiful impotent ignorance with pride. I know as a whole thread about Elon Musk, but the fact he has pilled himself. Richest man in the world I believe. Close to it. As if he ain’t gonna make money under Harris Presidency. Revelling in the share remedial level fuckwittery. Yes the prevailing economic late stage capitalist conditions.

this is what i find confusing - i don't get how a party can get so overrun, so quickly, by deranged conspiracy addled lunatics. i know many on here will say they are convienient idiots for "moderate sensible" republicans, but i don't fully by that. it's like if you took the tory party of the past 30 years, a party full of cunts, self interested tossers, etc, and almost entirely replaced them with complete lunatics. so instead of say a john major wanging on about the importance of the family, so boring you want to turn over to neighbours, you would have instead a lunatic wanging on about the deep state. that's how it looks from the outside. it truly is as if a cult has taken over, where truth just gets lost in the noise.

It wasn't quick. It's been coming for decades.

More controlling the narrative nonsense. And it worked again. Has anything from the Harris campaign really crossed over in the same way? They had Bruce Springsteen and Beyonce but all anyone is hearing about is McDonald’s and his big rally in NY. Trump dominating the news agenda.

Forget McDonald's... that's the MAGA reactions to Harris working there - her team should resurrect the Trump avoiding the draft for spurious reasons... It's still got legs.

She's awful. She had her own shit going on with him previously when at Faux, but has since fallen back in line with the maga turds.

Women.

?

Is there something wrong with my terminology? I used female as women sounded like older people to me, and I didn't want to sound like Walliams, with the "laydees" tone. Girls may also have sounded wrong.

It is nothing new, I'm old enough to remember segregation in the sixties, the miscegenation laws and their atrocities in SE Asia.

Always been an appalling place built on slavery and the genocide of the original indigenous people. The Great Satan indeed.

“Female” is often used by misogynists, incels and other such like people.

It others women. Puts them into the category of not-quite human.

It’s (sometimes) considered to be a dog-whistle, a “polite” way to be derogatory.




Female is an adjective. Woman is a noun.

Wow, as a woman I had no idea that referring to women as females had that connotation!

Plenty of discussion on Reddit
For example



And an article on Jezebel here

https://www.jezebel.com/the-problem-with-calling-women-females-1683808274

Also reduces women to their biological sex, which implies that their only /main value is their biological sex, i.e. as vessels of reproduction.
And it excludes people assigned female at birth who later transition.


It’s problematic in a variety of different ways.

“Look at all those males…. Males tend to… Gyrating with a load of males….”


It’s often a bit wtf to be shown something from a different perspective.

Some may not agree, but it’s been part of the discussion for a while, and generally frowned on.
