Race is a human construct, so it does exist.

1. Transgender women are women. 2. If people are so worried about testosterone levels in athletes, then sports should probably be categorized by testosterone levels instead of by gender. 3. There are females that naturally have higher levels of testosterone than the average female, and males that naturally have lower testosterone than the average male. Why is there not a discussion on making it more "fair" for them?

I wouldn't say that getting rid of those months is going to help shine more light on black and LGBTQ+ people and history. Taking away celebration in those months isn't going to make school curriculums change.

Identifying as nonbinary is not a "trend." As time progresses, society becomes more accepting of things it didn't accept in the past. And with technology being more widespread, people are finding out about things they never would've found out about if they didn't have the internet. A person's feelings and self-identification of being gender queer have always been within that person, but when people discover an actual word or category to be able to express themselves to the world, they will use it. So seeing a "trend" of more people identifying as nonbinary is just a result of more people finding out that there is a word for who they are.

Women don't have the systemic power to be sexist toward men. Of course, a woman can hate all men and be called "sexist" because of that, but is the woman's hatred for men going to disadvantage men in any way? No. A man's hatred for women carries the systemic power to actually disadvantage women, and it does. Men have the congressional power and representation to make laws that disadvantage women. There is no double standard when both sides don't have equal grounds in the first place.

Comparing which color is better than another is weird because it depends on the context. Purple looks better on Prince, but pink looks better as lip gloss.

Gender and sex are different. Sex is biological, and gender is a social construct. So there are many different genders. They're often used interchangably even though they shouldn't be.

@Lee Scott Why do Republicans only advocate for pro-life when it comes to women making personal choices about their bodies? You preach pro-life for unborn fetuses, yet your president has immigrants dying in cages and separating real l i v e b o r n children from their parents.

@Srija Karki Obviously you can't "unrape" a woman, but that isn't the only issue she'd be facing. She would be carrying an unwanted baby that she most likely was unprepared to care for. You say that abortion will be another trauma to this woman, even after being raped. But the true trauma will be the guilt she feels sending her newly born unwanted baby into the foster care system; who will live a struggling life; being another statistic; not having a chance in life. That's trauma.

Competition doesn't necessarily "root the weak out from the strong," but instead roots the less advantaged out from the more advantaged. Those with more opportunities for success don't have to put in as much effort as those with less opportunities. Thus creating the misconception that the less advantaged are simply lazy.

Women aren't the only ones who make it seem as if men need to be chivalrous. Men do it too. A lot.

By "most women" I assume you mean most women that you know personally. You certainly don't know most women in the world and it's extremely stupid of you to assume that "most women" think they should be treated like queens. By default, it seems like many men believe they need to pay for dates. They probably don't want to seem not chivalrous and they may want to attract a woman. It's not like women tell their dates, "You're paying because you're a man and you should take care of me."

White privilege does exist. It's apparent in the set up of American society. First, obviously slavery, which was legally abolished in 1865. After slavery, newly freed black people were poor as hell. They had no way to support their families except to work for white people. Solution: sharecropping. This practice provided blacks with very low wages and a small place to live on a white family's plot of land, where they still did hard labor, day in and day out. Fast forward to the Civil Rights Movement, which mainly occurred through the 1950s - '60s. Looking back at this time, blacks were still poor as hell and segregated by Jim Crow Laws, the effects of slavery, and racism. Blacks were paid less for the jobs that they worked. That is, if they could get one in the first place. And when drugs were introduced to the poor black communities, it all went even more downhill from there. This is still happening now. Poverty is still ravaging the neighborhoods of blacks and other minorities in the U.S. These neighborhoods suffer from low education, they are comprised of low-income families, and they're overflowing with illegal substances and practices. This generational poverty is the cause of so many fatherless households, so many drug charges. When someone is imprisoned for a drug charge, it's extremely difficult to find a job to support one's family afterwards. And statistically, it's even more difficult if you aren't white. So, they revert back to what they know will bring them immediate income: drugs, a horrible, deadly, illegal lifestyle. A child being raised around that will be so mentally damaged. They will believe that there's no way out. Their actions will reflect what they've seen. They're forced to grow up too fast. You may be thinking, "White people can be poor too." Of course they can. But considering their vast social advantages, it's a lot more difficult for them to reach poverty than minority races. Other races have had huge setbacks in America, especially blacks. That's why most of America is white. That's why Affirmative Action is necessary. That's why blacks have the least median income per household in America. That's why blacks are incarcerated at more than five times the rate of whites. That's why white privilege exists.

@Accur4t3 It isn't only because black people commit more crimes than any other race in the U.S. It's also because of the systematic racism and systematic oppression that black people, and other minorities, have suffered. Black people tend to live in poor ghettos. Poverty is the stem of violence, not race. If black people were not oppressed and stuck in poverty, dug far deep in a generational hole much too difficult to get out of, they wouldn't commit nearly as many crimes in this country. I see it everyday. I live it.

@Don Griffiths America is still run by "a group of mostly white guys."

Wow, your "facts" seem like blatant lies to me. First off, I don't recall anyone saying that there are more blacks in prison in America than whites. Yes, black people account for 34% of the imprisoned population. However, almost 70% of this country is white, so expecting a minority which makes up only about 12% of the population to have the same percentage of incarceration as whites, is just stupid. Not to mention that blacks are incarcerated more than 5 times the rate of whites. Either you read it wrong, you feel the need to protect your whiteness and make it seem as if you have the things you have and the job you have without any advantages, or, you're just lying for the culture. Whatever the reason may be, I did my own research on the same website you claimed you did, naacp.org. From this link https://www.naacp.org/criminal-justice-fact-sheet/ , here are some things I read: * "In 2014, African Americans constituted 2.3 million, or 34%, of the total 6.8 million correctional population." * "African Americans are incarcerated at more than 5 times the rate of whites." * "The imprisonment rate for African American women is twice that of white women." * "Though African Americans and Hispanics make up approximately 32% of the US population, they comprised 56% of all incarcerated people in 2015." * "African Americans and whites use drugs at similar rates, but the imprisonment rate of African Americans for drug charges is almost 6 times that of whites." * "A criminal record can reduce the likelihood of a callback or job offer by nearly 50 percent. The negative impact of a criminal record is twice as large for African American applicants."
