The female equivalent to a man’s anus is a woman’s anus. Not a vagina. FFS.
Wow, the ways in which a hetero male having sex with a hetero female can be secretly gay is a list that just gets longer and longer.
I blame all those Lisa Frank rainbow stickers.
Umm, no, not unless your particular contraceptive causes defecation from the vagina (if this is happening, seek medical help).
I can only assume this fellow has never had vaginal or anal sex and/or is doing them very wrong.
And does it go the other way so if a straight dude has anal sex with a condom with another guy the sex is straight?
Wait, so trans* people do exist now? I thought the consensus among bigots was that we were making it up.
I’m morbidly curious what Ben Shapiro’s defense of that sign would be.
@WWTH
And even then, what happens if a man uses a condom while having anal sex with a woman? Does the anus become a double anus?
Apparently God isn’t very powerful if not only can he not stop abortions, but he is so effected by them he can’t properly insert souls into people.
Lol
Is any instance unprotected sex between a cis straight couple that doesn’t end in pregnancy also gay? Pregnancy can’t be confirmed til a few weeks later, so does the couple need to wait with bated breath in order to confirm their heterosexuality? If not pregnant, are they shunned for their degeneracy?
Groundbreaking observation, but more follow-up is required so I know exactly who to call a commie on Twitter.
Just for the record, the “abortion makes you trans” tweet was a joke. The woman who wrote that is a trans reporter for vox.com and a quick glance at her stuff I think makes it clear she’s not a fundie.

I need some context for the 3rd one. what does the sign reference?
The gates at Aushwitz:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/arbeitmachtfrei-56a48dc93df78cf77282f0a4.jpg)
I think what she’s trying to say here is that the coronavirus lockdowns are equally as bad as the holocaust. Not sure though. Whatever she means she is anti-semitic as fuck.
@An Autistic Giraffe
the gates said “work sets you free” didn’t they? Many victims where worked to death but she’s protesting for the right to go back to work so I’m a bit confused as to why she would choose to put the on her sign.
@Fade
I’ve got three guesses
a) She’s trying to say the lockdowns are equally as bad as genocide.
b) She’s some sort of Alex Jones type who believes the virus is fake so “(((THEY)))” can round people up in fema concentration camps and exterminate them. (Sort of like the plot of the game Deus Ex).
c) She’s just some Nazi fuck.
@weirwoodtreehugger: chief manatee
Yes, but have you considered that sodomising your girldfriend could also be gay? You don’t understand anything about science.
/sarcasm
Re the Illinois sign – as has been pointed out in the comments there, the initials JB refer to the governor of Illinois, who’s Jewish, so there’s also a level of threat there.
Re Katelyn Burns, she didn’t write that bit of weirdness, just reported it (note that it’s a screencap included in her tweet). Could still be a joke originally I suppose, but could just as easily not be.
@Penny Poe’s law is alive and well, thriving even! Shall we hold a eulogy for the dividing line between sincerity and satire?
I’d like to point out that Nazi lady even used the distinctive inverted ‘B’ which appears at Auschwitz. That’s some special dedication to anti-semitism.
@Naglfar
Note that this abortion hypothesis explains the “sudden appearance” of trans* people in the modern age. I can’t imagine how it deals with all of the embryos that abort naturally by themselves. Perhaps those had no souls?
Regarding whether it’s a joke or not, people sometimes say ridiculous things without realising it. I once saw someone say that gay people exist because their “one true love” happens to be the same gender they are. I assume this was supposed to be a sweet sentiment, but all I got out of it was that they sure felt gay people needed a reason to exist. And then there’s the bi-erasure, and I guess asexuals are counted as gay or straight according to their romantic orientation, if any?
I hate Illinois Nazis.
@An Autistic Giraffe
I know who Katelyn Burns is, but she seems to be mocking the screenshot of a conversation rather than pushing a message she wrote.
Re: the Nazi sign
It could also be some confused fascists who thought it looked good on a sign because they mixed up their slogans. Fascists aren’t known for being bright or good at planning.
@Masse_mysteria
I think fundamentalists think that then it’s okay because Goddidit so it must be for the greater good. Presumably that means they don’t have souls.
@Citizen Justin
Illinoizis?
OT (with apologies for OT-ness, plus extra apologies if this is something that’s already been mentioned). As I’m sure many of you have already enjoyed (for a certain value of “enjoy”), one of the recent Pharyngula posts has a very WHTM je ne sais quoi about it 🙂

@Weasel-Rah : while the restriction to be a “real man” change all the time to make sure most are at least partially excluded, I believe that one is more a way to radicalize thoses unsatisfied men into proper radical conservatives and religious zealot.
If they were secure in their virility, they would joke about being able to make a women on the pill pregnant.
@Masse_mysteria : asking “at which moment someone get a soul ?” is in my experience a good way to expose and embarass that kind of people. Depending on their answer, even more embarassing questions open, like “if all souls are supposed to live long enough to meaningfully embrace or reject god, why the infantile mortality was so high before the modern times ?”
[Meta] I can’t catch up anymore.
Whatever is broken with the “recent comments” at this site is now really REALLY broken.
I reload the current thread and read what’s new. I check “recent comments” and see that a second thread has some new comments. I right click “open in new tab” that and … the “recent comments” on the two tabs don’t agree. New comments were apparently posted in between my reloading the first thread and loading the second. So I reload the first one again … and they STILL don’t agree. So I reload the first one again. And again. And again. And 100 more times. And they STILL don’t agree.
A couple of years ago, this didn’t happen at all. A couple of weeks ago, this would happen, but after 100 or 200 or so reloads the one that was out of date for some reason would finally load correctly, and the two would agree on what set of comments existed, and I could then read the new comments and be done, secure in the knowledge that I had fully caught up.
Now though it is taking more like 500 or even 1000 reloads before the server sends a correct, up to date copy instead of a stale one, AND it will now have comments the OTHER tab doesn’t have, so I have to go to THAT one and reload it over and over … and eventually when that one finally comes out up to date now IT again has comments the FIRST one doesn’t have.
I CANNOT GET IT INTO A STATE WHERE BOTH TABS AGREE ON WHAT COMMENTS EXIST. ALWAYS THERE IS SOME COMMENT ON ONE, BUT NOT THE OTHER. WHICH MEANS I CANNOT CATCH UP AS I MIGHT BE MISSING A COMMENT.
HOW DO I FIX THIS?
TELL ME how to reload a page here and get a 100% up-to-date CURRENT copy and not a stale one from five minutes, ten minutes, or even an hour ago.
I was willing to put up with occasionally having to hammer reload a few dozen times but I am emphatically NOT willing to put up with having to do it thousands of times for literally 20-30 minutes before I get a correct, up to date set of loaded tabs and can catch the fuck up.
FIX THIS. Or tell me how I can speed up this process and catch up reliably quickly.
@Surplus
I’ve been noticing problems, but it only seems to take me one refresh to fix.
Well now I feel so unrefined for just reloading my tab to see if the thread I have open has new comments.
The number it takes me seems to be increasing with every passing day and it has now passed the bounds of the ludicrous. I won’t accept this any more. How do I do a reload that produces a guaranteed fully up-to-date page in response IN ONE SINGLE ACTION, rather than hundreds or even THOUSANDS of repetitive mouse clicks over 10 or 15 goddamn MINUTES??? And NO, shift+reload does NOT seem to work.
Reddit has a timely question on r/AskReddit in which ex-incels explain themselves. No big revelations here but I found some of the insights interesting to read.
