And you and others who share your thought processes wonder why people don't just suck it up and follow your directives...  |
I just side with the people rightfully offended.
And at the end of the day, we know in which direction the world goes. So, I'm not worried to not have you onboard.

It's your choice. You make it a bigger deal than what it really is.

Well, people are rightfully challenging these societal norms. And I'm ready for it.

I don't think we need to go further into this, unless Issy approves the wandering of this thread.

Except nobody insulted you. Maybe your feelings are hurt but it's gonna be okay. You're a big boy.
And I agree to move back on the COVID related discussion.
