When you get pregnant come back on that one!

"When you get raped, then you can be against rape"

"When you get robbed, then you can be against robbery"

That's literally how dumb you sound right now.

When you are an infant (and not just acting like one) then you can comment on abortion.

If that is her opinion, perhaps remove her from this specific forum until she becomes an American?

To the best of my knowledge, Hypatia_Alexandria is not a man; therefore, according to her arguments, she has no business criticizing men. Q.E.D.

And she's never been a police officer, so she has no business commenting on police matters.

Neither is she an American so she should not comment on events or politics outside of Germany. Nor is she heterosexual, so she should not comment on anything dealing with that. Nor is she a student so she should shut up about education and homeschooling.

Ooh, can it be a new tWeb rule that any time she opines about something that falls outside of her own direct personal experience, we can report her for moderation?

Well it means she is proving herself a hypocrite with her own "double standard" (she was complaining about double standard in her padded room thread)

I really don't think she understands the basic principles of....

"double standard" - there are many situations to which you cannot apply the same standard
"hypocrisy" - you actually have to be doing or saying something different than what you claim is the right thing to do
"sarcasm" - it appears she thinks that's a tag you use when you're about to say something stupid, not witty

And a lot of churches that are "male dominated" are really run by those men's wives --- the man may be the head of the home, but the woman is the neck that turns the head.

You watched "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"!

[DesertBerean]

So men have no right to decide that killing a living human is unacceptable. Of course, wives and mothers have been inciting their husbands and sons to go to war for centuries, so I guess that shouldn't come as a surprise.

I am not condemning or criticising men for their decisions about their bodies nor am I advocating for legislation, that would prevent men from making those free choices about their bodies.

[Hypatia_Alexandria]

When you are an infant (and not just acting like one) then you can comment on abortion.

When you become pregnant then you can decide on whether or not you wish to terminate your pregnancy.

[Hypatia_Alexandria]

You really have a problem with basic logic. And you seem to think that just because you made a stupid comment, it somehow becomes less stupid when you've said it to somebody else.

You will never be pregnant. Fact. Yes you can offer your opinions on the topic of abortion, and I have always acknowledged that it is a complex ethical issue.

However, you [collective] have no right to try and prevent another person from exercising free choice in that matter.

[Hypatia_Alexandria]

Sometimes I think you compete with firstfloor for saying stupid things.

I'd bet I have FAR more experience working with pregnant women that you do, as part of our Pregnancy Center.
And I don't have to BE pregnant to see what goes on.

So what?

I would also add that your repeated appeal to apparent status regarding certain matters is beginning to wear thin.

[Hypatia_Alexandria]

That's transphobic.

It might be for some but that is a delusion that denies biology.

[Hypatia_Alexandria]

Then you didn't answer the question asked, not in the opening post, or in the thread title. Why do you refuse to answer that question?

If you cannot comprehend my answer re abortion [which incidentally was the topic that prompted you to start this thread], then that is your problem. I am not going down your rabbit hole.
