There is and was a lot of hypocrisy about women's sexuality. Think about the rhetoric around single mothers (bad, irresponsible people, even though they aren't the one who abandoned a child) and lesbians (not subject to the same aggressive criticism and disgust as gay men, because nobody cares what two women do together).

The arguments against being trans _are_ the same arguments against being gay or lesbian, just with a couple of the words changed. And those same arguments are themselves recycled from other past attacks on minority groups. Back in the 1990s, when I was in grad school, I once said to my roommate at the time, "If you took everything they were saying about us gay people and replaced, 'ho-mo-sekshal' with 'black', they'd never get away with it." My roommate replied, "Where do you think they got all of it from? It's actually the same racist language they were saying back in the 1960s, but they've done what you said: replaced 'black' with 'gay'." That particular roommate was about 10 years older than me and grew up in/escaped from North Carolina. So he was around to hear that very language. That's the thing with bigots: They're not original, and will reuse the same tired old tropes and slurs and hate-propaganda that they used with their previous target when they go after a new victim.

the little bump is actually a layer of fat that both acts as a protection around your organs but also is just typically caused by hormones or diet. Majority of the time though you can’t always fix it . It appears during puberty and is absolutely natural, if a woman tries hard enough to get rid of it she could literally die. The sheer amount of people who don't know this scares me so much, i had an eating disorder and nearly died trying to get rid of that little bump only to find out years later that it’s normal and even healthy to be there smh.

Fr you cannot get rid of the bump. Even women in my family who had to get their uterus removed still have that protective layer.

[@camdyndarksidecat7038]

No, it's a variable hormonal response. Yes, it's a fat distribution thing, but it's hormonal, people born without a uterus who have higher estrogen/progesterone and lower testosterone frequently develop it, but those who don't do not die. Trans women often gain it when they transition hormonally, trans men often lose it when they transition hormonally even if the trans man still has a uterus (that is not even remotely fatal). And some cis women who aren't intersex just don't have it either, they also don't die, it's just the way the body is built and how it responds to hormones has a lot of variety. It's more equivalent to whether or not you grow large breasts (though that's not reversible from hormonal changes once they've grown), trying to exercise/diet away large breasts isn't going to work and can cause harm if done to excess, but people who naturally have small breasts aren't going to die from that either. Common and universally necessary aren't the same thing.

simple actually, 2 people having consensual fun, and marrying each other of their own free will, harms no one; not themselves, not each other, and no one else. murder hurts someone other than yourself, and drugs theoretically are illegal because they are dangerous to your own health. of course, there's other underlying sociopolitical reasons as to why certain drugs are legal and others aren't, which don't actually correspond to relative health risk, but that's more complicated than the explanation requires.

[@juliamdp]

About the 16yo thing: even if you had the most mature 16 years old to ever exist and a childish adult, there’s still a power imbalance. An adult has access to alcohol, driving (depending on the country a 16yo can’t), total financial independence, has more “respect” socially, and so much more that holds him in a position of power over a teenager. Besides, maturity in behavior isn’t the only development level to count, a 16 years old is still going through puberty, hormones are changing, self esteem is mostly the worst it could be (based on my 16 yo memories and every 16 yo I’ve talked to at the time), the emotions are a train wreck and overall it’s just a very VERY vulnerable stage of life to be. A 16 year old isn’t “mature” for not playing with toys or idk what, she’s still a developing child in what probably the most vulnerable age to be (again, based on what I’ve lived back then)

[@t1ff4nyall3n]

There is also a difference of circumstances, such as abuse. I matured mentally super fast because I strove to perfect my siblings from abusive people in power above us (step-father, some uncles, teachers of select schools, etc.), and had to grow up so fast, I lost my childhood. By the time I was 18, I didn't feel excited to be an adult, because I was already doing many things that were considered adult, just to survive.

[@RiveroftheWither]

I would agree that 14-16 year olds are some of the most vulnerable to sexual abuse by adults. Mostly because of the awkward crossroads stage of development and life that they're at. Yes, they mature a little faster than boys but they are mentally still a child regardless of what they physically look like. However the thirst for independence, the chemical cocktail that is puberty and how they're raised and treated by the adults around them can make them prone to the manipulations and grooming of an older man that treats them like an adult, that makes them feel more mature than they are. Assuming the poster was a woman, judging from the icon pic, she was either a victim herself and in denial or a man pretending to try and normalize p3døs (spelt weird because KZbin sometimes deletes comments with the real word)

[@kissit012]

The only adults who are attracted to teenagers are mentally behind and social rejects of the ones their own age. No sane grown adult wants a kid, even a mature one. If they’re in to you, no one else their own age is in to them, and that’s a huge red flag. They will most likely be abusive in some way. It’s not cute, you’re not “special”. It’s gross and completely inappropriate. They are a predator. Do not ever believe them or their love bombing, run away. Public humiliation also helps keep them away from others

@@RiveroftheWither There's also the problem of a lack of what I would call, "the opposite of grooming": teaching kids how to protect themselves from sexual abuse & manipulation _before the hormones hit._ One thing I always point out: For all of human history prior to the 19th Century, childhood _was OVER_ the moment you hit 13-14, which is when all of the traditional coming-of-age-ceremonies in every last culture and religion are. The moment you hit puberty, you were expected to be pulling your weight _as an adult._ And every person was raised with that in mind. You see, brains don't "mature" with clocks or calendars, but with _experience._ Research with zebrafish from a year ago observed changes in their brain-structure _as they learned._ So I now see those "studies" that claim, "ThE bRaIn IsN't MaTuRe UnTiL 27," as _an indictment of widespread bad-parenting_ that is failing to prepare kids for adulthood.   Also remember: Prior to the 20th Century, _if you made it to 13,_ you were _very unlikely to live past 50-60._ [Unless you were an aristocrat or wealthy.] So spending _half of your lifespan_ with a brain that's not "fully mature" is a major biological drawback, and certainly would never have survived natural selection. Question: What's 13*4? Compare that to the pre-Industrial-Era life expectency of 50-60. Now, what's 21*4, compared to _current_ life expectency? Notice the similarity: We seem to have always devoted 25% of our expected lifespans [if we survived childhood] to education and preparation for life as an independent adult. The noted sex- and relationship-advice columnist, Dan Savage, has said this: "We tell kids that they'll have sex when they grow up. What we _should_ be telling them is, 'When you grow up, sex will _have _*_you.'"_* And we really should. That really should be part of comprehensive sex-education and should be done _before_ the hormones hit at puberty. We're really doing a great disservice to future generations and leaving them vulnerable to sexual predators by leaving them ignorant and in the dark.

[@derekstein6193]

@@John_Weiss The human brain does not fully mature until about an individual's early to mid 20's (there seems to be some disagreement between researchers). Notice I said brain, not person. Think of the brain like a building. If you are constructing a building so that it can provide shelter, you can build it section by section (otherwise it sits empty until complete). With each section complete, more residents can move in. When the building is completely constructed, the maximum amount of room for residents is reached; no more rooms are added from this point on. The number of residents cannot exceed the space available, but it can have less than maximum capacity. That building can even become damaged, reducing the amount of residential space available. This is similar to the brain and its growth. As a human brain doesn't wait till it reaches full maturity to start use, it clearly begins storing information from the beginning. As the brain grows it allows more room for information to be stored. The brain eventually reaches a point where it can no longer be built up any more (skulls are stingy on real estate), and is thus fully physically mature. The level of emotional/psychological maturity is a different matter entirely, as it grows as the individual gains experience (at least it should). But this mental maturity is always limited by the physical limits of the brain, as a brain not in its most mature state is not operating at its full potential. The physical status of the brain is a hard limit to how much one can be psychologically mature. That is why a toddler can never be considered mature enough for society, as their immature brain simply isn't ready for it. A teen is closer to mental maturity, but their brain is still hard limited. Yes, there is some variance between individuals, as some are more mentally mature than others, but adolescents are still not physically capable of being at full mental maturity. This physical issue is why those who haven't reached full brain maturity should refrain from using cannabis. Cannabis has been shown in laboratory tests to inhibit brain growth. Ever met somebody who "smoked themselves stupid"? This was because they slowed down their brain's rate of growth and development due to habitual cannabis use, thusly resulting in their brain becoming overall less physically mature by the time they reached the stop point in their 20's. It isn't a matter of experience that screws them over from that point on; they just locked themselbed out of being able to achieve full psychological maturity. Your assertion that a brain grows because of experience is the reverse of what is observed, as it is the growth of the brain that allows for the individual to understand and incorporate their experiences, and thereby move towards a state of mental maturity. A middle-aged adult can be mentally mature or immature, while a child is always immature. This supports that physiology is the limiter, not personal experience. And for the (metaphorical) record, this does not mean that an adolescent is unintelligent simply because they are not fully mature mentally or physically. Intellectual capacity is not the same as maturity, as there are many intelligent people that act childish, while some act prudently but have less than average intellect. TL:DR- The human brain is complex, and simply having experiences does not automatically make you mentally mature.

The scribophile one made me internally rant a little since that and "philia" are 2 suffixes I had to learn multiple terms for in the "Sexuality and Society" and "Deviant Behavior" courses I took as part of my Sociology major and Criminology minor in college. In case anyone actually doesn't know this, "phile" is just the suffix used to describe someone who loves whatever the prefix is and "philia" is just the suffix for the act of devoting love to whatever the prefix of the word is. Doesn't even necessarily need to be sexual love. It can just mean that you have a strong love for something. It can be short lived or a lifelong obsession.

Same thing goes for humans, humans only need to get pregnant once and then the will consistently produce breast milk until they stop feeding consistently.

But I do think it is a problem that education systems often don't focus enough on what it takes to genuinely learn and remember (as well as what would be actually useful to learn) and its normal to forget or not understand a good amount of it, even for students who try to do well (and I was among them). Its not enough to just throw a bunch of information. It for one needs to be explained in ways that are easily understandable and preferably memorable. And you cant do way too much at once, then some will inevitably be forgotten. And students need to be in a focused state while learning, and its really not always by choice when you cant focus. It takes something we can get there. Eg. focus may be helped by some exercise, enough sleep, proper nutrition so your brain doesn't lack nutrients it needs to work properly, its part of your body like everything else. Getting enough breaks and actual spare time to actually recover in between. As well as taking students mental health problems seriously and try to help.

Sure, using the same tap water to make ice cubes will then cause that ice to develop some new kind of chemical/substance that then does some more magic in the water that changes the molecules to something else.

I used to have dogs, and I'm _very_ confident that one of them was gay. He had no interest in female dogs, he exclusively wanted to spend time with other male dogs younger than himself. He would get all excited and anxious around them, then try to mount them. The, uh, signs were clearly, uh, there.

[@maverick2560]

@@dmgroberts5471 Was he neutered? Older male dogs mounting other males (especially younger) is commonly a dominant gesture, not a sexual one. That being said, homosexuality is still natural and common across many species. But mounting doesn't always mean pleasure/attraction.

[@dmgroberts5471]

@@maverick2560 I am aware of this. Yes, he was fixed. This wasn't dominance mounting though, I think he genuinely had a preference. Like I said, never even a glance at female dogs, even one's in heat. Now, my other dog, he would mount any dog that looked at him funny, and that _was_ dominance mounting, he'd just hop up there, show them who's boss and then move on. He also did other dominance related behavior.

That's not a question that you want the answer too. Trust me.

[@zakosist]

To be fair I think (and know from experience) most of the time diseases don't really require hospital visits or medication to get well. Sometimes they do, if its serious or long lasting, but most of the time you recover on your own in a relatively short time-span and medicine is more to minimize discomfort if anything. And maybe there is benefit in letting your body recover on its own making it stronger over time (that's not saying Im against healthcare, but maybe its something that shouldn't be overused. And I am for vaccines). I also think its best to generally not burden hospitals unnecessary, so other patients (that may need it more) dont have to wait too long and hospital staff dont get too overwhelmed. Im not really sure at what level of fever you really need to treat it with medication versus letting it pass on its own, and maybe the child itself should be the one to choose (if neither option would endanger them)

[@SpaceBearEngineer]

@@zakosist Fever over 101F has the potential to do damage (high enough and brain damage ensues). If fever is accompanied by things like sore throat and/or rash that could also be a sign of an infection that could use treatment. Medical treatment also helps reduce long-term complications, recovery from a lot of illnesses without medical intervention is often partial or results in long-term issues. For example, you can survive a streptococcus infection even if it progresses to untreated scarlet fever...but that can lead to heart damage. I had a relative that passed away in their 50s from long-term complications of an infection they recovered from in their teens. It's useful to remember that humans in the wild had a lifespan of maybe 50-60 years, with the vast majority dying long before that (death in infancy is rather common in humans without medical care, like in many other animals). Medical professionals know better than anyone that their resources are limited, best to at least call and talk to a nurse about symptoms and let them decide if the symptoms warrant devoting some of those resources.

21:30 This is heavily tied into concepts such as the evolution of altruism, especially kin fitness. While two male penguins cannot reproduce, by raising a chick related to one of them, they effectively pass on a portion of their genetics. For instance, if a male penguin adopts the child of his deceased sister, that child carries about 25% of his DNA. Inclusive fitness is a hell of a thing, and it is central to very important things like social groups and pack behaviour. Herd behaviour benefits a herbivore by reducing the threat to themselves from predators, but pack behaviour theoretically reduces the reproductive fitness of an individual by sharing food. It's very complex and I am not a biologist or geneticist and as such cannot explain further

I’m not really a practicing religious person, but I love how this kid was able to accept the facts without it clashing with her religion. Honestly, the idea that science and religion are mutually exclusive of each other is exhausting to me. The way I see it, we all believe in something, that will explain our world and give us comfort.

Funnily enough, that may actually be true.
