+SGPlays well a woman birthed you, and kept you alive, and fed you and wiped your ass and taught you not to sh!t yourself, and not to eat poison in hopes you would turn into an upstanding, productive member of society....but maybe you are right and it was useless. Studies have shown that men who insult women online are literally losers. Not figuratively, but literally. This woman in this video not only was a productive member of society, but took a great risk to her own life in an attempt to save all of those men, and you are doing what with your life? Watching anime, playing video games, and insulting women on the internet in a completely failed attempt to raise yourself up? You can't build honor, value, or worth by putting others down. You build honor by doing something honorable, you build value by doing something valuable, and you build worth by making yourself worthy. Most men learn those things as boys in the Boy Scouts or from their fathers. I'm sorry you missed out on that but now you know it.

David Leitman I would like to point out some differences between race and gender.
The first is, gender, if defined as the behavioral and cognitive processes most often conveyed by one's culture, and biological sex, has both social and biological components, the latter which is subject to the same variation that all other biological entities are. There is no conclusive or widely accepted evidence that the same holds for race; that there are biological components, conveyed by race, that are responsible for certain behavioral characteristics and cognitive processes, in a generalized way. Dolezal says she identifies as "black" but what she actually identifies as culturally African American. She just thought she had to be black to be a cultural insider. And maybe, on some level, that is the case. But most black people are not African American and black people world wide are not, and don't see themselves as a culturally homogeneous people. African American culture is just as foreign to a black person in Botswana, as Japanese culture.
The second is, sex, and at least some of it's gender components, develops in the womb in a way different from race. The default of the human form is female in phenotype. A person with no genetic sex, as is the case with Turner Syndrome, will develop as female, though will often be infertile. For a human embryo to develop a male phenotype, the fetus has to be exposed to androgens during a certain time frame in fetal development. This process is usually started when the SRY gene causes the ovotestes to develop into testicles and start producing the androgen, but a genetically female fetus will develop a male phenotype all the same if exposed to androgens during the proper time period, and this occasionally happens through external exposure such as medications the mother takes, or internal exposure, such as can arise in certain disorders. An phenotypically male infant must be exposed to further androgens at puberty to develop an adult male phenotype. But racial phenotypes do not rely on such a process to develop in the womb. There is no default racial phenotype and racial phenotype is polygenic. There is no such things as biological race because what we call race is a group of genes or gene variations to which certain physical characteristics can be attributed, but are usually not all present in the individuals of the group in question, and this variation differs from that seen with variation in sex determination.
3. Caitlyn Jenner is not passing herself off as someone who was born with a female phenotype or as someone who was raised female. Rachel Dolezal tried to pass herself off as someone with recent sub-Saharan ancestry, and tried to obscure her actual ancestry, and has possible told more grave lies on top of that. But Bruce/Caitlyn has been very transparent.
