Disambiguation:. My use of "Black Culture" within this context refers specifically to the expressions and creation of culture within America that is associated with blackness.

My understanding of culture (the arts, beliefs, customs of a people) is that cultures are themselves generally specific to a region, not a skin color. We wouldn't say that Nigerian culture is a part of "black culture", even though many Nigerians are black.

So what are we describing when we say "Black Culture"? If culture is regional, how useful is the term "Black Culture"?

Another problem I have with the term is it centers the culture around the skin color. However, referring to my example above, this is a misnom

What are the reasons you would like to have a partner for?

Reasons might include sex, companionship, friendship, raising a family, romance...

Any other reasons feel free to offer. If you would like to, please explain why those reasons are important to you.

I'm curious about protocols related to sexing neonates, as well as historical precedents and how sexing has evolved over time, or hasn't.

Assuming it is still based on the presence of external genitalia, how do conditions like grade 1, 6, or 7 AIS mediate the assignment of sex? What are your protocols for someone with grade 3 or 4 (or other ambiguous presentations)?

Considering the complex nature of sexual dimorphism, is our current system useful, or outdated? If outdated, is there a more reasonable solution?

Looking for a kind of Genealogy/history of sexing. Specifically how physical sex is established in modern Western countries, and how it was historically, the medicolegal framework and how it has changed over time. Obviously this (Sexing) can have important ramifications for intersex and transgender people. I'm also interested in the actual process of sexual differentation.

Mainly I'm curious how sexing itself is both an empirical process, as well as a moralizing process, that holds certain genital configurations as being 'good', or of greater value than other 'bad' configurations.

My main intent is to better understand sex as a category of differentation, as well as to better lay bare t

As title states, ask me anything. I am an open book, and I enjoy long explanations.

First things first, I'm not a scholar, but rather an autodidact on Continental philosophy.

What I find puzzling is Peterson's rejection of Post-Modernism, yet his acceptance, and veneration of Neitzsche.

Much of post-modernism itself draws from aspects of Neitzsches philosophy, and if PM is, to an extent, the rejection of Meta Narratives, then Nietzsche could be considered a kind of "proto Post-Modernist."

Beyond simply his rejection of Christian morality, in Beyond Good and Evil, Neitzsche takes all of Continental Philosophers to task for attempting to conceptualize their "will-to-power" as a kind of natural order through the use of a kind of rationality. In a certain light, Derrid

An interesting portion of Zizeks work concerning Lacan, and unwritten rules of social discourse.. I thought it might be relevant to some here, I find it interesting, still reading it.

Occasionally I get this sensation of fear that this world is just a dream, and I am going to wake up in bed, in my childhood home, as a child.

The worst experience I had of this was related to a flashback, where for a moment I was almost sure I was. I woke up and thought I was in my old bedroom, rushed to the window to see if sperm donor and car was there. Had to blink a few times to convince myself I wasn't.

I don't know if this is something that can be discussed here or not, let me know if I'm out-of-bounds.

Does anyone else ever have flashbacks like that? Or worries about that?

Wesley Yang calls for moderation in The Shocking Truth about Jordan Peterson, I'm not sure I agree entirely with his argument, though my thinking around how best to counteract alt right adjacent thinkers has begun shifting after reading Nagle's Kill All Normies. I think there needs to be room for a more compassionate response to those who are under his magnetism.

Dear enoughpetersonspam,

I don’t know, EPS, but I think I have discovered something that no one else has any idea about, and I’m not sure I can do it justice. Its scope is so broad that I can see only parts of it clearly at one time, and it is exceedingly difficult to set down comprehensibly in writing…. Anyways, I’m glad you and r/JordanPeterson are doing well.

Semineurotics- In the praxis of deconstructi(on)(st), Ex. Derrida, semineurotics is the "Post-Modern" locution denotating a disordered, disoriented, deranged paranoia of langue, signs, multifariois, categorically, the particulars such as contravene communal sanctioned semiotics. For communal, the essence of contending sociopolitica

Really interesting light reading from the cracked sage David Wong.

It's incredible though! I mean, Nietzsche was absolutely correct to say God was dead, and Derrida was correct to claim Nietzsche didn't go far enough! It's not just that God is dead, it's that all the old ways themselves are dead!

Nihilism under late stage capitalism, combined with the idea of a post modern truth, or that there are an infinite number of perceptions of Truth and none of them are objectively correct, because all of them are subjective...

Even the old gatekeepers of information are now dead. All of the old structures lie in disarray,

Really, it shouldn't be "Cultural Marxist" or "post modern neo Marxist", but rather "Ethnical Maoist". The Chinese have known about the power of language since Chuang-Tzu and Lao Tzu, and the modern crop of these "social justice warriors" aren't being taken in by post modernism, but rather post modernism has been taken in by Ethnical Maoism. Foucault's post structuralism was directly inspired by the Tao Te Ching, which itself was weaponized by the Jewish-Chinese scholars of the 法兰克福学院, a Maoist school hell bent on converting us all to Maoism and making us speak Cantonese (not even Mandarin, because it's too "imperialist"). These disgusting Ethnical Maoists, through Canadian bill C-16, are

An underlying theme of radfem philosophy is that women are oppressed because of their biology, thus trans (natal males) cannot be oppressed as women are because they are biologically male.

A secondary theme is that gender does not, or should not exist.

Following from this is the assertion that because Trans (natal male) are male, they are easy to spot "in the wild", as it were.

However, for one to spot a trans (natal male) requires one to study all female appearing bodies, and sort them according to how "female" they look, the same with voices, as well as presentation.

This would require that one "police" other's bodies and presentation, looking for the "tell-tale traits" that would give
