I think that's mean and borderline sexist or misogynist.
It's mean but hardly sexist or misogynist unless you yourself think the description embraces all or most women.
I might make a mean spirited remark about boy racer rev heads, but that's directed at a specific subset of the much broader male spectrum.

#174Not living in north america, there's something i must be missing - who looks at the name on a credit card? who even touches your credit card anymore? in europe and uk you're either contactless or you're given the terminal to enter your card yourself, and I'm 99% certain the "name" that is written on the card never comes up on screen
The first example given is for a liquor store - where a clerk is very likely to ask for one piece of ID, and in some locations, two - one photo ID, one with the customer's name embossed or printed on it.

The vast majority of people who are trans do not have surgery and being trans has nothing to do with your genitals. I feel like this really shouldn't need to be explained in 2024.

I hope you find some compassion about this eventually and become less hateful.

I don't think you're familiar with how debit cards work across the planet if you think that "just losing it" is somehow a problem, or that debit cards don't come with buyer protection? If you lose your card, you report it lost with a quick phonecall to your bank's dedicated security number, and that card is now dead. If someone tries to use it before you report your card, you get to dispute those charges, and if they…
credit card has much longer dispute window and higher odds of refund. merchant can delay shipment knowing that if you use debit that you cannot dispute. it happens a lot.
Again: strongly depends on where you live, and what businesses are legally required to do? If you live in a world where people pay for everything by credit card and banks are hyper-for-profit institutions, like the US, then it might blow your mind to learn that that large parts of the world never allowed credit card companies to replace banks, with banks actually offering services that people want need banks to offer, rather than having to rely on visa or mastercard.

Not parent, but I agree with the general point. Leaving this specific example aside which is a real world interaction, we (America) have gone to far to redefine what "safety" is. Ben Shapiro speaking at your school is not "putting you in danger".
Some people may act on Ben Shapiro's ideas, and that would put other people in danger.
not how free speech works... "someone could act on that idea" isnt a good enough reason to sanction speech imo

Government may make no rule about stupidity, but Ben Shapiro and his fans are certainly not welcome anywhere I am.
