I’m proud of myself. Was out for brunch this morning with some friends when a MAGA at the restaurant had a few too many mimosas and started arguing about politics.
He finally was going around people in the room saying “you’re a Democrat right? You can’t even tell me what a woman is. Does any Democrat here want to tell me what a woman is? You can’t!”
I finally took the bait, and surprised myself with my reply. “Oh of course I can tell you what a woman is. It’s a person who you’ve never been intimate with and never will be intimate with.”
He harrumphed a bit and then left. 😁

(10,103 posts)there is money involved?

(41,821 posts)However, if there was no money involved there would be no sex. Correct? So a prostitute would consider sex without money non consensual.
If any RNC types are monitoring could you have Donald step to a microphone and answer the question. Thank You in advance. Ya know, like a payment.

“I doubt you would know since it’s obvious that the only person you ever fucked was yourself.”
But then I grew up in New Jersey. 🧐

I'd answer that question by saying, "Of course I know. You'll be calling her Madame President in a few months."

(10,103 posts)Like visiting a different world for me. The men were all the same. Long beards. Missing teeth. Dirty nails. Big mouths. Trump stickers on pickup trucks.
I tried not to be judgmental since I work in a creative field in San Francisco, so most of the men I come into contact with fall into the “metrosexual” category. Many dress better than me.
But they were gross. A couple were so skinny I realized later what was going on. Meth.
So while I’m one who likes to make facetious cracks about incels, I’m thinking it’s not facetious after all. It’s fact.

(2,899 posts)Somehow I missed the memo way back when that started. Living where I do, completely surrounded by them, I will likely not be asked. I don't interact with anyone here other than clerks in stores, so I don't see how that would happen. I don't even look at anyone in passing, since it is a given they are MAGA, and this is a gun-crazy area. So what's the deal asking that question?

(20,058 posts)The RW, especially the evangelical contingent, rejects the idea that someone can be born in a body that corresponds to one biological sex and transition to a different gender.
To them, a trans woman is just a man in a dress, and a trans man is a woman cosplaying a man, and they have a very low opinion of anyone who thinks otherwise.
Furthermore, they believe one's sex/gender is ordained by God, and that God has also prescribed specific roles for males and females that are "complementary" to each other. In their eyes, anyone who behaves in a way that does not conform with the sex roles they believe God has ordained is defying the will of God.
This takes in a wide range of behavior, including having sex with (or marrying) a person of one's own sex, dressing in a way that does not conform to "traditional" gender roles, or even a woman's refusal to bow to her husband's "God given" authority.
Those who embrace the above ideology are horrified by homosexuality, same sex marriage, gender transition, cross dressing (drag queens - men dressing like women, oh noes!); pretty much anything on the LBTQIA+ spectrum is viewed as an abomination by these folks.
Even opposing abortion ties into this, because they regard that as a woman refusing to conform to her "natural" function of having babies.
Thy make fun of us lefties, claiming we don't know the difference between a man and a woman, because we recognize the right of consenting adults to love whom they want (or just have sex with whom they want) marry whom they want (or no one, as the case may be); dress how they want; choose whether, when, and how to become parents; and live as the gender thats feels most authentic to them.
They think they're being funny and clever when they make cracks ab6out Democrats not knowing what a woman is, but all they're actually doing is displaying their own willful ignorance.

(72,177 posts)A theme seems to be that people are planning to vote for Kamala because she's a woman. No other reason. The next step in that soliloquy is that "it's not policy, or accomplishments, or experience. She doesn't have any. Just because she's a woman."
Yeah, it's stupid but it's what they seem to be running with.
When I heard it, my response was "She was a lawyer, a prosecutor, an Attorney General & a Senator. That's about 30 years more accomplished & experience than TFG had in '16." I got crickets. Which meant I won, because I don't want to discuss politics on the golf course. Shutting down the conversation is exactly what I wanted.
