Harvard dating app under siege

You do know discussing gender is against forum rules? You have a space here, which is explicitly against having the very thing you are bitching about. Why would you bring it here? Just to propagate divisive bullshit?

Actually, I did not know as I don't care to read the rules on an overly moderated forum. It would mean I have to be silent most of the time spent here...

The most appropriate response of the developers should have been to add one (and only one) new gender: attack helicopter.

wroooooom.

How is "attack helicopter" a gender?

No shit, if you need to keep track of a random school's club to further your agenda of some malevolent moral social attack, it would be difficult. Pretending there is some culture war being pushed by those you disagree with and not those who seek out even a school club to create division is easy.

Next time you blame the media for identity politics, I hope you remember this thread and realize who exactly is trying to push identity politics, while even using a school's club as an example of tidal wave coming from the Atlantic. Be sure to generate many hits to that random site, because that's how you'll tell the media to not run with stories like this.

Is this an attack against me? I can't honestly tell. It's too early and I need food and coffee.

Oh noes! In 10-20 years or so when I have to fill out a form and it asks what my gender is there might be a multitude of options rather than 2! Whatever shall we do?

Is that what they do in Slavic land? Always look for the dumbest and most pointless fucking dragons to slay?

Now it has transpired that a cozy relationship between Summers and economics professor and Russian expert Andrei Shleifer was definitely a contributing factor. Head of the Russian Reform project of Harvard Institute of International Development (HIID) in 1992-1997, Shleifer and his associates were accused of using federal money for personal gain. In 2000, the U.S. government sued both the university and Shleifer team for fraud, breach of contracts and making false claims. Defrauded of at least $40 million, the government asked treble damages.

Americans have a nasty habbit of sending Harward "specialists" to Eastern Europe.

Because memes, albeit one of my faves.

I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m fucking retarded but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

Born with a cock and balls? You're a male.

Born with a vagina? You're a female.

Born with both? Your choice.

Seems about as complicated as it needs to be.

Born with both? Call me Kreygasm

Yeah I get it's a meme, I was just wondering if there was any sense of logic behind "attack helicopter" or if it was just popular among people who are sexually attracted to machinery.

This is tragicomic. I actually dare any American call Europe "leftist" when progressivism is eating you up. This is literally so sad and hilarious at the same time.

Folks, before you release an app on the market, make sure you name every single gender there is. You must also spell it correctly because there are obviously striking and important differences between nongender and agender, and Two-Spirit and intersex and all that.

Remember just how great of a deed you are doing by naming every single scientifically proven and indisputably existing gender wherever possible. Not only are you helping to improve the happiness of 0.001% of the people with a gender under siege by primitive social standards, but you are also setting a wonderful example for all the third world nations currently fighting corruption, poverty and disease. If you can fight primitive social standards that prevent every single individual from automatically knowing when to mention a hundred genders, so too can the children in Africa unite and rebel against their corrupt leaders!

Well, no... it would mean that an article you claim is part of tidal wave reaching your country, could have been stopped if you read the rules. I'm completely excluding personal accountability, as a reason to not propagate it, but we both know that's not an option.

I believe it was done as a satire, one of the higher quality Twitch copypastas. Personally I don't see the need to attack the underlying issue, if the concept of gender is changing from binary to a whole slew of definitions then I don't really see the harm but I can see why it might rankle with certain mindsets.

If someone wants to say that their gender is an Attack Helicopter (although I don't think we are there yet) then it's no skin off my back. The only consequence I can see is that in the future a form might have a slew of different options under gender.

I'm not anglo-saxon. I'm Irish, which is Celtic, and Austrian, which is Germanic.

Did these 26 people poll the rest of the student body to see what they thought about this app? No? Then it's just 26 people out of 22k making a complaint.

That's Saxon. Or at least a very high percentage. Talking estimation wise, I wouldn't say he's too far off.

Dolphins (and most other non-human species) don't use internet based apps for mating purposes so it would seem pointless catering to them.

Why would I attack you? i'm attacking the idea of identity politics being something relevant, then asking for some introspection to think about why it seems relevant.

Bunch of spoiled kids...

If i want to create an app with 2 genders, i have this right; if i want to create an app just for men who want to meet other men, i have this right; if i want to make an app just for women to meet other women, i have this right; if i want to make an app only for transex i have this right.

It's good to see I'm not missing much by ignoring Twitch then.

What I don't get is why "attack helicopter" is being seen as a gender. I get that some people might be sexually attracted to such machines, but that doesn't mean it fits the definition of gender as defined by social or biological/reproductive roles.

[Karon]

Oh no worries, it is very easy. I can help out.

So, what about the obvious differences between nongender, agender, non-binary and neither don't you understand? Or gender fluid and pangender?

They're all mental illnesses, Idon't differ between them.

Be kind... I'll respect his wishes and call him a dolphin from now on. Better than 'liar', I used to call him.
