    I had never heard that before. Can you source that the Federalist Society's official position is that on the first ten amendments should be in the Constitution?

    Religious conservatives make up a significant group within the GOP, like 34% within the GOP according to the Gallop Poll. Whether you want to acknowledge that or not does matter to me, but it is an incontrovertible fact. It is why states like Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi, and a dozen or other states where the GOP either controls the state legislature, the governorship, or both have proposed, passed, etc, bills on the state level banning abortions with little to no exceptions and try to link abortion to the belief that it is the "Christian" thing to do. Religious conservatives, white evangelical Christians are 90% likely to believe in GOP doctrine about whatever social issue that is out there. Religious conservatives have argued, even in this board, that homosexuality is pornography, why else pass HB 1557 in which you made that very same argument, or that "pornography" needs to be banned from school, public libraries, etc yet they define "pornography" very loosely, want to take away civil rights to groups that they think the Bible says is wrong, on a selected basis, etc.


    Well, for starters, here is what I said, "why is it that only women are sluts. From a male point of view, it is considered an honor to have as many "conquered women" panties to hang from the college room, the locker talk about grabbing female parts such as what Trump locker room talk." You do realize I was pointing out the hypocrisy here. Men like you are quick to call women sluts, aka women who will sleep with mulitiple men before marriage. Yet, at the same time, a different set of rules for men. Men can sleep with as many women as possible as long as the women do not get pregnant. It is considered a right of passage for people like you who use different rules for different folks. So, why the difference here? Want to really put "women" in their place as second-class citizens? Just like the good ole days before women had the right to vote or own land or even run for political office?

    Again, read what I wrote, not what you think I wrote DentalFloss.

    In the circles I traveled in, which are much, much larger than you would imagine, being called a slut, depending on the circumstances of course, it a compliment, and is generally taken as such. Women who travel in the same circles own that term, and they're proud of it, and very, very unapologetic about it. We do not have different standards for men or women, we're all sluts. And happy to admit it, though some have to be a bit more discreet due to their stations in the "real world".

    Even at work, while it's not something I would have brought up during an interview, I also wouldn't have lied about it if asked, and once I was employed, and managed to get a friendly relationship in my office, my weekend activities eventually became an "open secret", if for no other reason than when someone said "What did you do this weekend", I told them. I never once had a problem because of it, though it's not like I was spending my company's time attempting to recruit people. We're not a cult, just a whole bunch of people who believe that monogamy is boring, and live according to that belief. And if you look at the divorces that happen because one of the participants, frequently both, couldn't live a monogamous lifestyle despite having every intention of doing so when they said "I do", you may see that we're not wrong about humans in general not desiring monogamy. You think I call women sluts as some sort of power thing, but the reality is, in our lifestyle it's the women who are very much in charge.

    I view men who use that term in to deprecate or insult someone as poorly as you do.

    Personally, I don't think you traveled very much. Here in the States, across Europe, and even in Central and South America, women are called sluts, and much more worse, if they sleep with multiple men, no matter the circumstances. You could have had 5 boyfriends, five instances where you "moved in together" and five cases in which sex is involved outside of marriage. And yes, a guy will call you that. But guys do that behind your back, discreetly in most cases, and some guys at the office would figure out ways to sleep with you without trying to hard if "your activities on the weekend became an open secret." Second, if I was interviewing you, I would not ask such questions, even if you told me yourself. I am more interested in your ability to work with other people, your technical skills, etc and not your bra size, which position you prefer, etc.

    Furthermore, the men who do this sort of thing usually revolve around a group of mgtow movement and think that women's "liberalism" or generally feminism is corrupt idealogy. But that's a different topic and argument altogether.

    This sounds like you are trying to open the door for your highly unthical political system and party to infect SCOTUS with the same disease that ails it. No thanks.

    Naah. Women call each other sluts far more than men call them that.
