i'm wondering why pudding fingers hasn't banned haircuts since they're gender affirming too.

[–] MojoMcJojo@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Give him time, he has like 2 or 3 more years as governor.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 6 months ago

Probably argue it's to prevent hippies instead of being care

I hate Deathantis so im only Playing devils advocate. if you go back for enough it was intended for men. He's just going very traditional as the part of traditional. Ugh that hurt me to type. Gonna wash my hands.

Heeled shoes were originally worn by men, and have been found in the histories of 10th century Persian and 3500 BC Egyptian life. While this style of footwear was originally geared towards the needs of men, the 18th century saw women begin to adopt high heels into their fashion.>

Don't play devil's advocate for evil people. They should stand alone in their defense.

[–] FabledAepitaph@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That might have been the original point. Men wear lifts to feel more "manly", reaffirming their perceived gender. Trans people undergo gender affirming care to feel more like their own perceived gender. The difference is just that other people may not perceive the trans person's gender the same as they do.

Ah that makes sense. Thanks.

I do not disagree with the simple fact that DeSantis is a bigot. I, however, dislike the clear bias demonstrated by this media outlet.

[–] criitz@reddthat.com 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

What part of this article has a bias? Just browsing but I don't immediately get it

[–] exocrinous@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

The article speaks as though DeSantis is a person, which obviously implicitly platforms the idea that the self exists as a distinct entity. This is not a universally recognised truth; Buddhism and some other Asian religions do not recognise it. The article is biased and refuses to address the cultural assumptions put into its writing.

Yes, this fact means that everything you've ever read is biased. This is because it's true, everything is biased. Everything is culturally relative. Reality is a social construct and every piece of journalism which claims the existence of reality is biased.

In a Thursday morning press conference in Florida, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, a failed 2024 presidential candidate, flanked by representatives from the Southern Poverty Law Center-designated anti-government extremist group Moms for Liberty, including co-founder Tina Descovich, attempted to defend the state’s restrictive educational policies.

In a Thursday morning press conference in Florida, the state's Governor Ron DeSantis spoke in favor of the state's educational policies which some groups call "over restrictive".

Which is more biased? The first paragraph is true, but is obviously trying to paint DeSantis more negatively.

[–] Senal@programming.dev 1 points 6 months ago

Leaving out details is also bias. Especially when those details are pertinent to the subject being reported on.

That he was talking about state policies could arguably be said to warrant including politics based details of the situation. Him being a failed presidential candidate and attending said event with a representatives of an anti-government extremist group would probably qualify for that.

The difference between:

Man speaks at length against restrictions to future meat-production quota's

vs

Man known for previously running on a platform of meat-quota deregulation. speaks at length against restrictions to future meat-production quota's, surrounded by meat industry lobbyists.

Yes, the second one sounds more negative, but that's not necessarily bias.

[–] WaxedWookie@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

DeSantis has been trying to outlaw wearing clothes that don't "match" your sex while routinely wearing high heels. It's reasonable to ask about this.

Can you give an example of the bias you're referring to in the article?

[–] Kimjongtooill@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

Not the dude you are asking. I really hate attempting to defend any of the MAGA crowd or even approaching an "enlightened centrist" take.

But, I absolutely can't stand that slimy hateful fuck and imo I thought the article was oversensationalized compared to what I saw in the video. It didn't seem like "the whole room laughed", it didn't seem like it really threw Desantis off. I didn't notice a "nervous head bobble."

It's just a clickbaity "Desantis gets DESTROYED" article

Why does someone talking about journalistic bias get downvoted? This isn't reddit, you dorks shouldn't be this reactionary to everything that doesn't immediately confirm your own bias.

[–] Crackhappy@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't mind people exercising their right to an opinion.

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

In this forum in particular I would except everyone to be united in their absolute contempt for that monster.

[–] AdmiralShat@programming.dev -1 points 6 months ago

That's not the issue, he's talking about the credibility of the source.

[–] Diplomjodler@feddit.de 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

So what would be an example of "unbiased" media, in your opinion?
