Wait what incels?
Did I miss a step or two in the discussion? I thought we got here by murmuring over racism?

I think my post on the last page might make that post more clear. Apparently a bunch of people (including me) had the same mental association with another discussion about clarifying the rules that happened a year or two ago in this thread (and probably at a lot of other places on the internet)
Namely, the discussions about sex and consent.

when i refer to rules i am not referring to an algorithm. its fairly easy i think to convince someone that other humans are not simply algorithmic. so by “rules” i do not mean something directed; they are not governed by a narrow telos like “getting laid”
but as to everyone automatically assuming that anyone who interrogates the idea of consent is only after unsanctionable (because within “the rules”) non-consensual sex: its all very provincial of you. the subsumption of all questions under only one possible motivation seems to belie the very instability in “consent” that is being questioned. the jusification must lie elsewhere

Sorry igne, but are you actually asking what are socially acceptable ways to court a woman as a male, ( I am presuming in USA on account of you being from USA and this being the US pol thread) or are you railing against the fact that you don't know them, or that these unspoken cultural rules exist, because you appear to be being deliberately obtuse here.

Or it was I who misread inge's post. But the sistematic approach is nonetheless rather identical. Demanding the exact rules so you can circumvent judgement by finding a golden path (loophole) through the rules that are very well defined. Adhering to the law while defying the underlying thought of the law, the reason for its existence. Sometimes these things have to be vague to stop such abuse, as you'd need common sense to interpret the law and have it applied to more than a predetermined set of circumstances.
Because if you find that one situation, that isn't covered, it's the loophole that let's you abuse the law /rule /human decency as much as you want, because, as we can clearly see, you play by the rules.

Sigh. Another bold faced lie for Republicans in Congress to ignore. And this one is having real world, dangerous consequences (see the recent attempt to sneak nuclear reactors to Saudi).
Apparently both Kelly and McGahn wrote internal memos at the time saying Trump ordered them to give Kushner TS clearance despite security experts, including the CIA, saying not to. Trump, ofc, on the record said he had no role in Kushner receiving his clearance.
Sad how far the party of security and rule of law has fallen. Someone as compromised, not to mention unqualified, as Kushner leading foreign policy discussions should scare everyone.

I think it is important to have a convincing explanation of how they have changed and why they had to change. For, you know, social cohesion and harmony.

People assume that folks questioning consent are after non consensual sex because it has been a common discussion on this website and other places. If that was not the course of your interrogation, perhaps you should put more effort into make that fact clear from the onset.

It isn’t that the rules changed, as much as people were uninterested in learning them. And now they are complaining because they have to follow them.

It makes your posts almost impossible to understand, which is why people are talking around you about seperate political matters, rather than the total garbage you are writing. i don't care about your opinions of race; what it constitutes, what it embodies, what it portraits, what it expresses, what/if any value it has, etcetcetc. that article in Nature used the word race; go ask them what they fucking meant with it.
i couldn't care less if you separate people based on ear shape, body hair or their ability to crack their knuckles then call them races and no one should care, but what they should care about is: once(if) you have them, what do you do with them?.
there are no words/terms left to use in discussions with the lefties, words that can be agreed upon at the start of an argument so trying to skew loaded meanings by ways of synonyms, i figured, might work. well that's a big fat no, because even when one manages to make an argument (barely)tangentially related(which is an heroic feat btw), in this case to race, lefties would just move the goal post then act as if it justifies everything.
Ex: someone mentioned race realism as if it has a more precise meaning or something but looking even at superficial definitions, some see it as literally racism while others as something opposed to race denialism, which is obviously one and the same thing to you ... ?.
anyway, after you figure out what the rules are then maybe you'll be presented with arguments that are understandable.

When it comes to racism and consent, the historical reality is that no one wants to hear it. The debate about what they mean is born out of historical oppression of women and minorities. The resistance of men and dominate white culture(in the US) to accept these concepts and ton navigate their complexities. You are correct that the rulers have changed. But they have always been changing. The resistance to learning these rules is born out of a desire to not wanting to follow them at all. It is far easier to not worry if they are racist and not give a shit if a woman wanted to fuck them or not.

It basically comes down to this. All my life I've been hearing/reading/seeing dudes talk about these amorphous "rules of dating", which never made any sort of sense to me, and ultimate amounted to little more than wanting to find any way to "crack the code" of just being a decent person and finding someone you like. It's one of the more harmless examples. If this is something that has been "changing", it's because it never had a real form to begin with.

(mainly, you replaced an/the ancestral word and its meaning) basically, people run to concepts that exemplify differences but reject the guilt. so, ethno-nationalism. now, before going <epithets>, realize that for some/many people, difference is good, is positive. maybe i should've wrote "there's no loaded word left to describe differences", but come on ... Edit: and those terms are similar in this context; they pertain to ethnicity(in research you use ethnicity when trying to not offend people by using the word race), ethnic variance. "The theory that distinctive human characteristics and abilities are determined by race" has very little to do with Urinary bladder cancer or histology, unless you are seriously trying to tell me that ethno-nationalism is based upon incidence of Urinary bladder cancer and microvascular vasodilatory function. They are also neither distinctive nor are abilities for that matter, so you fail even by your own defintions; what you wrote is garbage anyways. Also, why the hell are you posting like fluidrone? It makes your posts almost impossible to understand, which is why people are talking around you about seperate political matters, rather than the total garbage you are writing. i don't care about your opinions of race; what it constitutes, what it embodies, what it portraits, what it expresses, what/if any value it has, etcetcetc. that article in Nature used the word race; go ask them what they fucking meant with it. i couldn't care less if you separate people based on ear shape, body hair or their ability to crack their knuckles then call them races and no one should care, but what they should care about is: once(if) you have them, what do you do with them?. there are no words/terms left to use in discussions with the lefties, words that can be agreed upon at the start of an argument so trying to skew loaded meanings by ways of synonyms, i figured, might work. well that's a big fat no, because even when one manages to make an argument (barely)tangentially related(which is an heroic feat btw), in this case to race, lefties would just move the goal post then act as if it justifies everything. Ex: someone mentioned race realism as if it has a more precise meaning or something but looking even at superficial definitions, some see it as literally racism while others as something opposed to race denialism, which is obviously one and the same thing to you ... ?. anyway, after you figure out what the rules are then maybe you'll be presented with arguments that are understandable.
There's tons of words in the English language, friend. If you ever want to not be seen as racist because you happened to say a racist-sounding thing, there's a nifty way to deal with that.
Funny enough, caring, being thoughtful and self-aware, and deferring to people who are closer to the issue than you are are great ways to not be offensive in a large number of ways.

well do you think there are rules and do you think they have changed? youve agreed with plansix here, who, as usual, has cooked up a contradictory gallimaufry of empty psychologizing, so im not sure where to start
maybe you could tell me whether you think #metoo changed anything

Of course it has. It's reinforced the notion that you can't just treat women like shit without consequence, that it's not a good idea to try and plot out how you want to sexually harass them, and that treating them like humans on a person-by-person basis and erring on the side of respect is a generally good rule of thumb. The point is that there aren't hard rules that are changing. Just don't be a dick, mostly. That one's been around for donkey's years.

Pretty much this.

Personally I would start by using basic punctuation and capitalization.

Uh, on another topic, a few days ago, a federal judge ruled that an all-male military draft was unconstitutional. It was not an injunction, so no immediate changes are required, but it implies that women would have to also register for selective service. I don't think it's getting a tremendous amount of attention because no immediate changes are required, but I really don't see any way around making both men and women register if the process as a whole isn't going anywhere.
