sometimes i forget that other critics of capital can also have regressive troglodyte opinions on gender roles and sexuality. thanks for the reminder!

What if furthering the human species through the use of stable two-parent households happens to be my kink? You wouldn't kink shame, would you?

It will always be funny to me how little it takes for the mask of limitless tolerance to slip and reveal what you people think of those of us who dare even dream of deviating from the prevailing social norms.

This would do rounds on TruthSocial or X, The Everything App. Might I suggest moving this conversation over there?

You still haven’t explained what you think I have on my hard drives.

Obviously just really cool stuff that would make everybody jealous. It’s pretty clear, what do you think they were talking about?

you are responding to arguments i have not made. would you care to engage with my criticism of your views or do you want to continue making things up?

What criticism, calling them "regressive troglodyte opinions" without any substantiation? You're not trying to have an argument, you're just trying to start a flame war.

ok, let me "hn-speak" what's already a clear position that you understand that i hold:

i think your views on women's roles are ridiculous, to the point of deserving hyperbolic comparison. your position is misogynistic, bigoted and repulsive to the ideas of self-determination, social equity, liberty, and nonaggression... summarized perhaps irreverently but not inaccurately by the phrasing "regressive troglodyte."

but you knew what i was saying.

It’s now misogynistic and repulsive to self-determination to and social equity to let women have maternity leave and spend time with their children?

You American tech bros are absolute ghouls.

Ohhh, you thought our objection to your regressive nonsense was an objection to parental leave? That's... no.

What was I supposed to think you were objecting to besides what I wrote?

So you admit that you are just making things up to be angry about.

Why would you assume that someone who specifically mentioned "self-determination, social equity, liberty, and nonaggression" was advocating for "keeping women chained to their desks and away from children" through a lack of parental leave?

If you don't want to keep women chained to their desks and away from children, then what's the problem?

Because of the clear regressive biases evident in your comments: not once in your little diatribe nor the tedious back and forths since then have you mentioned general paid time off, bereavement leave, or even paternity leave. I don't want fathers to be chained to their desk and away from their children either, hence my use of "parental leave", but you seem only concerned about mothers being around their children. Isn't that interesting? That coupled with your "the glorification of every other sexual special interest except the productive one", spreading the bigoted lie that non-straight people are unproductive to society and there's little ambiguity on what you think women's role in society is.
