People are acting like Will vs Chris is new age sensitivity at play but I actually see it as a remnant of the 'chat shit get hit' masculine ethos of a time passed.
Will Smith grew up jaded because his father abused his mother and he couldn't stop him. What happened is not new age sensitivity gone wrong, it is oldschool discipline methods scarring a man that was raised under it pre-GenX.

In my opinion. A Zedku for Deb from down under.
Mr Ethan.
Philly's finest,
Slightly acerbic,
And a tad vitriolic,
No problem.
Only a problem,
If you create one.
And:
In my opinion,
The problem,
Wasn't Mr Ethan,
But those who deliberately chose to turn him into a problem.
Once one chooses,
To respond rather than ignore,
One has taken charge of their own destiny,
By entering into,
A verbal agreement,
Which can easily be,
Opted out of.
Funny how some people,
Would rather,
Choose not to opt out,
Preferring to,
Resort to whinging,
When the going got too tough,
For their over-sensitivity.
Read and weep,
Or ignore and laugh.
Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy.
The Un pop op-ens.
I'll kick off.
I like Cops.
I like the idea of a police force of sorts.
So ummm ' kicks dirt '
yeah.
I like Cops FULL STOP
Actually that might be a popular opinion..
It would be . But not on this site.

why aren't corporations run by democratic principles ?why can't people vote for their managers and executives ?
It lessens and maybe eliminates the incentive to start a business. What's the point of risking a lot of money and time and hard work only to create a business that can be collectivized by your employees?

Trans women are women.
In order to make this claim, you need a definition for the word, "women" that doesn't contain the word, "women" in it. Currently, the definition is, "Someone with XX chromosomes".
Also, I've seen some of your Twitch. You don't look nor sound like a woman.

He didn't ask why corporations aren't required by law to be employee owned he asked why they aren't.
In reality many are partially or fully employee owned. Most are not however. The reason most are not is because most employees are much more interested in improving their quality of life immediately rather than owning the company.
Investment means risk, in an ideal world a worker believes in his company and wants to own his company more than he wants to own others because he can affect his own company by working diligently.
However because of the artificial credit-culture and the artificial promotion of investment brokers people are incentivized to have no stable cash reserves and to invest in the market in general even if they did have some cash.
Much like how education and medical costs spiral out of control when people stop asking the question, profit and stock sharing options are rare and insufficient because no one seems interested.
There are also of course a few companies that were made by sole actors (tycoons) or old feudal nobility and thus were never intended or welcoming of controlling general investment.
It's a cultural problem that has it's roots in government interference, but even if government interference stopped today conscious effort is required to recalibrate.

Free-market capitalism is inherently flawed.
free pursuit of profit always works to the advantage of those who magically create the money

I can't. Despite that, If you don't want to define gender by chromosomes, find a different definition for gender. If your definition of a woman is, "a human without a penis", you would have to define a man as, "somebody with a penis". This means that trans men aren't men because they don't have penises.
-->
@3RU7AL
"why aren't corporations run by democratic principles ?" Because the people who run them have actual knowledge on how to run a business and make a profit. Imagine people being chosen to run a business like they choose Presidents. The mere thought of the idea is beyond absurd.
"why can't people vote for their managers and executives ?" The same reason as above. Businesses don't have the luxury of printing counterfeit money to fund them and keep them going like the govt. You cant talk a load of BS like the govt does. You have to operate within the money your business makes. Again you cant just print fake fucking money and say Oh look at the huge profit we made.
And for the record, Democracies suck ass, they are nothing more than "MOB RULE". I much prefer a Republic.

Notwithstanding rare physiological anomalies, there are just two sexes.
The egg producer and the sperm producer.
Everything else is just a mish mash of ideas based around recreational sex and associated surgical/ medical possibilities.
But whatever it takes to float ones boat, is fine by me.
Population 7.9 billion and counting, so nothing to worry about.

Little Timmy and Little Lucy and Uncle Bob and Aunt Fanny.

Wherein lies the potential.
I suppose that having ones balls removed has been an option for quite a awhile.
Ovary removal is a more recent option though.
Surgical contrivances maketh the person these days then?
Yep....An evolved possibility.....One cannot argue, that evolution is not normal.

Androgen insensitivity syndrome makes a human with XY chromosomes physically indistinguishable from XX
A woman's best reproductive years are in her 20s. Fertility gradually declines in the 30s, particularly after age 35.
Many humans will never reproduce, it doesn't make sense to categorize them based on reproductive roles

'Woman' is a gender identity.
Any conditions for womanhood beyond identifying as a woman are, at best, pointless technicalities.

You seem to place rather more emphasis on it than that. I wouldn’t have an opinion on if “cats are trogoflsod’s” if I couldn’t define that word, it obviously has some meaning to you. Where does gender identity come from ?

@thett3

I apologize, but I don't quite see what you mean when you say this or if it's relevant to what you're saying. I don't mean that sarcastically, just genuinely unsure.
Where does gender identity come from?
No different from every other aspect of one's identity, I can't answer 'where' it comes from more specifically than just the brain. Nobody can. Gender might not mean the same thing or look the same for every person, but it is innate.
'Woman' is both used to refer to a sex and a gender identity. It is my opinion that, in every meaningful way, a trans woman can reach the point their sex is indistinguishable from a cis woman; I believe I could make a convincing argument for that belief. I believe I could make a convincing argument to prove that sex is irrelevant in terms of if any given trans woman is a woman or not because it's irrelevant for any given cis woman. I believe I could make a convincing argument to prove that gender is an aspect of one's identity and is innate.
For all of the reasons in the paragraph above, I believe it's just a label one uses to identify themselves and cannot reasonably be said to be more. Where identity comes from or why the identity is innate? Can't say.
