EPTTaking into account specific traits of people to distinguish them is, by definition, discrimination.
I don't get how this is even being debated.

I don't think alot of things we've done with our brains in the last millennia coupled with the fact we had to adapt to it necessarily related to the evolutionary. If I do have to make an argument for it, however, I'd say if you're feeling performance anxiety because you can't really do what you want to do, you should find a better fitting partner. If partner sexual attraction a choice--then isn't attraction then a choice? | ||

This is a gender definition that everyone can rally behind. Find a man who is certain that he is straight, and get people to suck his dick. If it turns him on, that person is female. | ||

We'd need a large enough statistical sample for this to be scientifically sound, so he's gotta be sucked by a large enough population group to produce proper analysis. Who would want to be subjected to hours upon hours of blowjobs for the good of science? | ||

I mentioned that in my post, but there's "good" and "bad" discrimination. Asking someone for a criminal record before you hire them is also discrimination. It's not based on enumerated grounds (more info), and hence fully legal and an important tool to distinguish people. Your argument is like the people who hear something a bit less than 100% PC, and their sirens go off, and start shouting racist/bigot. | ||

This has everything to do with you being unfamiliar with why this is problematic. | ||

There's plenty of websites (facebook for example), where the people you talk to have access to your personal information. Other websites like bodybuilding.com allow you to post an image and that's your avatar, and almost everyone who posts does so, with a picture of their body. There is nothing problematic about me having a website that requires personal information from other people (unless you've been calling out all these sites throughout your life). I don't know why some people here are being so stubborn about it. Also sounds like my childhood arguments, "you just don't understand, bye." | ||

Isn't that exactly what you want to do with people that you don't judge worthy from their personal data? Your young white straight male profile you gave us all kindof makes you not an authority on discrimination, don't you think? We do exactly that, but based on what you say, not who you are.  | ||
