Most parents who watch their kids playing sports have a realistic understanding that their children are very unlikely to be competing at a professional level. They usually understand that a healthy competition builds character and gives them a good outlet to exercise and compete.

Having trannies come into female sports takes all that away, as it is well known that males are physically dominant in practically all sports.

My take on the contention with trannies going into female sports is that it has very little to do with concerns about women "professional" athletes being dominated by biological males. Rather, it is mainly parents who just want their daughters to have enjoyable time competing in sports, and they see biological males ruining that enjoyment as they easily overtake any competition and make it a lopsided match, which is boring and no fun, especially for those who are on the losing end.

@shortstories you are correct. But think about the audience for NPR. They will eat this sort of thing up uncritically, and even those who are not overweight will just accept that "losing weight is so hard for some people".

The larger point is that they are admitting inflation is still bad. The "losing weight is hard" comparison is just an effeminate manifestation of their propaganda.

You know things are bad when state media is admitting that inflation is still bad rather than trying to continue the propaganda effort claiming that our government is beating inflation.

They even admit here that it the everyday expenses such as electricity, rent, and gas prices are higher up. Which is probably why they are in damage control mode rather than "everything is fine, quit believing your lying eyes"' mode.

@DW2 So is Lloyd Austin confirmed alive then? Sometime theories do not always pan out, it seems. But the fact that such theories exist shows a strong distrust with our government. Which is well warranted.

@PraxisOfEvil It does let you chase your dreams. Even if your dreams are retarded, you can still chase them. Just maybe think about if your dream makes sense or not to go for, and don't assume that your dreams will pay the bills.

Some people need to understand that sometimes you are not going to get a job that does not feel like work, and that maybe you have to pursue your dreams outside of what you do for a living.

@Humpleupagus With these standards, my wife is the opposite of the ideal woman. The complete opposite, as she has zero of the qualities listed here.

@Aether Women who try to play the "double standards" card do not understand that men who are looking for a traditional woman are generally traditional themselves, which means they also have a low bodycount and are not engaging in degenerate behavior themselves or demanding a woman who is "good in bed" while being a virgin.

These women are just bitter that men do not want to commit to them after slutting it up from 18-30, thinking that "but men do it too" is a universal retort.

@deprecated_ii Harry Potter was a series of books meant entertain children (and later teens as the "audience grew up"). There is not nearly enough depth in those books to warrant a whole class. Or are colleges so watered down that this is considered rigourous enough for today's students?

Not that most reading/writing/English classes are really all that impressive either, but at least there was pretense of having some writing that had greater substance than that which appeals to tweenage girls.
