a guy's sense of privilege/"masculinity" taking a hit is never a reason to stop anything
If a woman decided she didn't want to interact with a man in that context, would you say that her concerns are unfounded? Switch the genders.
yes.
come on cass, you're smarter than this. I know you can smell the gaze all over his response.
what does "smell the gaze" even mean?
and many men and women have issues with close physical contact with strangers of the opposite gender that they don't have with members of their gender. it doesn't have shit to do with "privilege" or generally even the "sense of masculinity"
Sure, but afaik string theory is all maths with no evidence backing it up so far.
Until there's some evidence your idea of the nature of the universe being thoughts (of a God-figure of some sort?) is roughly equivalent to some other awful, unsubstantiated idea.
There is no hard evidence, but there are very good hints that it's on the right track.
See: the holographic principle.

I'm willing to bet that if she's a champion high school wrestler she's not all that worried about some dude grabbing her tits in a match. I don't see sexual assault charges being a huge possibility in her case.

The girl is probably okay with it.
But the guy isn't, and his uncomfortableness should be valued just as much as a lady's

Eh, kind of. AFAIK it's still an open question as to whether or not string theory makes any testable predictions at all. If it isn't falsifiable then by definition everything equally does and doesn't support it.

I never said he was at fault, I agree that he did what he thought was right and more power to him for it. His rights are equally important. I think I misread Fluffy's post about it being sexual assault and chimed off of that.

Sorry, I try to create perceptions of the universe based on factual evidence.
I do however know there are multiple problems with gravity as it's currently explained and there are especially problems because quantum gravity hasn't been unified into the overarching explanation of gravity.
Besides, let's be entirely honest. Who's thoughts would the universe be? What would they exist in? Would existence just be a series of infinite Russian dolls?
Cause that's both silly thinking, and entirely unhelpful.

Wouldn't that make it a tautology of sorts?
I'm taking Logic this semester and it's made conversations like this more interesting in a meta-sense.
So I think the package I was supposed to receive in the mail was intercepted and the contents were stolen and/or swapped out.
Is this something that actually happens?
It happened to some webcomic guy at a con recently. He shipped two boxes of books to the con, and got both of the boxes. One of them had half a blender inside instead of his books.
I was talking to Pony about this in the context of the UFC, I said that instead of just having a women's division they should just put the women in with the men.
He said something something biology men have denser muscle mass so you can't draw an equivalency something something
Which bummed me out because I would enjoy seeing ladies in the UFC
I assume you mean 40k because they're Orks and not Orcs? What type? You could probably make a Green Tide Apocalypse army!
I just did a count
52 Shootas
46 Sluggas
4 Burnas
7 Big Shootas
2 Rokkit Launchas
10 Stormboys
10 Lootas
17 Nobs (7 power klaw, 4 big choppa, 1 combi-scorcha, 5 slugga+choppa)
1 Warboss
33 of the shootas are painted, 26 of the sluggas, and 9 of the stormboys, and some various ones have some paint on them. Oh, and 3 deffkoptas and a trukk.
I also have 2 deff dreads, 2 trukks, a battlewagon, and a looted Leman Russ that needs painting.

You do know that assault charges don't have to be a matter pressed by the alleged victim in public like that right? If enough crazies -decided- she was being assaulted they could at the very least make the kid's life hell for a few days.
No. A tautology is a statement whose predicate is derived from the antecedents. In other words "John is a bachelor, therefore John is an unmarried man," is a tautology because 'unmarried man' follows from 'bachelor.'
This is often an uninformative statement, and therefore unhelpful. Whether or not tautologies are always uninformative (or unhelpful) is kind of an open debate in epistemology. (I think the dominant viewpoint is that they're not necessarily uninformative.)
An unverifiable statement may or may not be a tautology. For instance, the following statement is not a tautology but it is unverifiable: "I have a pet unicorn, but he is telepathic and will disappear leaving no trace any time you intend to prove his existence."
This is also unhelpful.

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
So, after last night's/this mornings discussion on nerds and red heads, I find it necessary to report I've discovered a hot red head model with tattoos. Including Trill spots. God love the internet.

See I don't get this.
Yes, the worlds strongest man will more than likely be able to lift more than the worlds strongest woman, the worlds best boxer will hit harder than the worlds best female boxer, but wouldn't she be faster, making it a situation like a heavyweight man fighting a welterweight man with a more solid punch, which has been proven to be disastrous for heavyweights in the past when it's been done?

It takes a certain mindset to fight a woman professionally. I don't think many men would be in support of such a joining.

Ahh true that. Something not being falsifiable is not the same as it being impossible to be false.

Honestly it would make me feel uncomfortable to see a dude knock a chick out in UFC, especially if it kept happening. Like what if men are just better fighters and the women never win? Should we keep letting them try?

Just got back from talking with the assistant of the professor whose program at DU I am hoping to get in. Was a lot of fun, the program sounds awesome though I am going to be super broke doing it. Also she was cute, serious hipster chick. Shame she has a boyfriend.

Not saying that's likely. But hey.
It was insured.
But it was a hoodie and a framed picture of Vancouver Canucks jerseys.
Also, some antibiotics.
