Girls want to be able to choose how to look. Femininity often causes people in the sciences (and other places too) to take you less seriously. So, there's negative consequences to choosing to look pretty, making it less of a free choice.

The shrimp colour vision thingy turned out to not actually be true https://www.nature.com/articles/nature.2014.14578

Huh, this is how I learn mall Santas exist outside north America.

Well then that would be the point where it becomes important to protest it. Being against it right now, with what it's currently like here, seems paranoid to me.

I said society. The word 'men' isn't even in the thing I said that you quoted. Much less 'all men'. Both men and women saw reproduction as a woman's responsibility. Can you explain why that's a sexist thing to say? Or, if it's not true, why nobody tried to research male hormonal birth control at the same time they were researching female hormonal birth control?

Also, I didn't have to look that up. It's common knowledge. But, as I said, there's no reason to believe your claim that barrier methods were ever solely men's responsibility. You didn't even really offer evidence or a justification for that claim.

I also never said men are pricks. I said that the responsibility to use barrier methods isn't always on men and that women who have casual sex with men could easily confirm that. There's people who are being responsible and people who are being irresponsible of any gender. Once again, I'm just taking issue with your claim that barrier methods are and always were men's responsibility.

Yes, the websites for digitally checking my medical files and for doing my taxes. I could do both of those in person with my physical ID.

And yeah, you just press a lil button that says 'im over 18'. No proof required.

They did write into the law that it'd never be required to have digital ID. But the concerns make sense, thanks for your reply!

100% agree. The fact that they're only researching it now has been hurting everyone involved.

Can you please point out the thing I said that you consider sexist, and why? I'm striving not to be, and like to learn where I can.

Ok so. I'm Austrian, I've had a digital ID for a few years now. Use it to access all my medical files, sign stuff without having to own a printer, and do taxes. Loads of people do not have digital ID and it's not being pushed. It's very much and optional opt-in. There's nothing you need it for that you can't in some way do on paper or in person with your physical ID.

They don't have any additional data on file due to this. Except that I have the ID, I guess. Not even my phone number- it uses 2fa through an app that I had to activate with a password I got on a piece of paper. The app doesn't have any permissions. I in fact have it on a phone that doesn't have a sim card. They could probably find out where my wifi is, but they obviously already have my address on file. My digital ID is linked to the exact same file they already had linked to my physical ID.

Can someone explain to me why digital ID seems to be such a hot topic these days and what the risks are? I may just be super out of the loop.

The issue isn't that the premise is false, it's that it's a non sequitur.

Ok I'll ignore the name calling one last time.

I'll put it super simply, in the hope that you misunderstanding me wasn't as intentional as it comes across

1. barrier methods have always been, and continue to be, a shared responsibility

2. all other non-permanent methods have been purely on women until very recently.

This sounds like it would make sense on the surface, but is just not true. You can look up pretty easily that there wasn't really any research on the viability of male hormonal birth control until half a century after female hormonal birth control became a thing, so it's not like they made a rational decision based on scientific findings. When they found out how to do it for men, it was roughly comparably complicated, with similar side effects. This too is easy to look up.

It makes sense that the side effects were too much to legalize hormonal male birth control because today's standards are much higher. Which is a good thing ofc- im glad they don't allow new medication as easily as they did in the past. Female birth control wouldn't be legalized if it was invented today, and neither would, for example, aspirin. They get to stay around because they don't take that stuff back out usually, even if it wouldn't pass modern standards. That's a bit of a tangent though.
