It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

What determines whether you "belong to the sex class that produces large gametes" ?

Obviously this horrendous wording is a (poor) attempt at inclusivity of people that have bodies that don't produce large gametes, but are supposed to. But what other factors are determining their inclusion in this sex class if they don't produce large gametes? There must be something that is including these people, what is it?

What if your sperm is just massive

[–] fox@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Macrospermia, yeah. Terrible medical condition, the sperm is basically a .50 cal bullet blowing clear through the egg. Big impact on fertility as you'd imagine.

well it's only logical that it would impact fertility rates, after all women can't get women pregnant berdly-smug

and good thing, too, can you imagine how huge a baby born from two Large Gametes would be? They'd be XBox huge... as a fetus!

or now all intersex people who fit this are women, whether they like it or not

that elderly grandfather in india who had a hysterectomy because he was having stomach pains and didnt even know he was intersex and had many grandchildren with his wife? woman. 100% woman.

Presumably it also means women didn't exist before the invention of the microscope and those kooky ancients were using the word wrong
