If you fancy bleaching your eyeballs, search the person responsible for that crap - it is exactly what you'd expect. I don't blame the beauticians for not wanting to go anywhere near it.

Then, there's the trans woman who's claiming hate crimes because female beauticians won't wax its pubic hair: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/jul/27/male-genitalia-week-in-patriarchy-women

My suggestion is a woman should offer to wax its scrotal area, but heat the wax to a 212 degrees Celsius, then claim to have mixed up the scales.

Piece of garbage, doing real harm to actual transgender women.

I actually think most Americans feel the same way as well. Remember this is just an obscure forum in a dark corner of the internet - it just seems like most people give a damn about it. Most do not.

So Yaniv is back in the news. He's trying to organize a topless swimming event for 12 year old girls (well, not only girls, and not only 12, but including them). Parents would be excluded. I guess suing immigrants for refusing to wax his hairy balls isn't enough fun for him anymore. Oh, Canada.

I've seen "Happy!" (don't forget the exclamation mark). And yeah, there's definitely some similarities there.
 
The Daily Caller is that white supremacist rag, isn't it? The one that white supremacist Tucker Carlson set up?

So I just heard about a youtube channel that's rapidly gaining popularity, called ContraPoints. It's a trans woman. The videos are surprisingly good for YouTube.

Here's one about gender critical feminism:


Here's where I heard about this channel:

How YouTube's Left Is Changing Minds

ContraPoints of the "If people ask you to define your terms then they're trolls" fame? 10 points on the Crackpot Index right there, and let's not forget that her entire arguments are predicated on refusing to define her terms and calling people who demand her to do so "trolls." If she ever manages to produce something resembling a coherent argument, as opposed to Sokal-like ramblings whose only redeeming feature is having the right soundbites for the progressive crowd, then let me know. Otherwise I've wasted enough of my time with that.

Good video. I don’t quite buy all of it, but she does a fine job making her arguments and she comes across as incredibly relatable. Nice change of pace to see someone making arguments instead of just wokescolding the other side.

I sort of wish there was a name for this particular form of putting one's head in the sand. Perhaps it should be called the "remember how they were wrong about something unrelated" fallacy, but in Latin.

Transcript?

If you click my second link that says "How YouTube's Left Is Changing Minds" immediately below the first image there should a button you can click for the transcript.

As far as the youtube video itself, I don't think there's a transcript and it's very much a visual medium. Her videos contain lots of jokes and memes that are designed to appeal to the young youtube generation, including visual gags. It's supposed to be a a witty kind of antidote to the alt-right youtube channels. It would be like reading the lyrics of a popular song: without the accompanying music, most of the art is missing.

I literally just discovered this channel yesterday so I don't know what you're talking about, but I personally didn't have any trouble understanding any of the terms she uses.

OK. If there's any terms you want defined I'd be happy to look up the definitions. Like I said, I personally did not encounter any weird jargon or arguments that are hard to understand.

I'm glad you agree. I too don't buy all of it, but it's fun to watch and relatable.

Here's the channel:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNvsIonJdJ5E4EXMa65VYpA

I've only seen two of the videos and part of a third so far, but here's the other one I watched, about Jordan Peterson:



Instead of just getting outraged about him, or scolding, she actually takes his arguments seriously and engages with them.

Dude, it's literally in the video. At the start she calls people demanding her to define her terms "trolls" (the so-called "trollish questions") before then going on to present an entire argument predicated on her not defining her terms.

The term to be defined is "woman."

Dude, the entire video is predicated on the idea of answering "trollish questions" one by one because (as she points out) many people sincerely wonder about such things. She even gives credit where due when the question has a legit point. I'm not getting the sense you watch past the first couple minutes.
 
Puppycow said:
I guess that's a pretty fair question. She does define towards the latter part of the video.

She declared the question of defining "woman" as a "trollish question" and then never got back to it in the rest of the video, entirely ignoring it. But as you seem to claim otherwise, what definition of "woman" did she give in the video?
