User blog comment:Psychopathotical/Josh's Unpopular Opinion Ep 1- Pride Month/@comment-26234016-20190627132418/@comment-26234016-20190628160627

The introduction (specifically "Fuck a cow, if it consents") and the conclusion (specifically "if you want to give into money-hungry corporations and their incessant pandering, go ahead. if [sic] you want to wear period blood on your face and march through the streets naked, go ahead") aren't actually statements with any weight. There's nothing to debate there, just rhetoric. All I was pointing out is that the things he was saying were really shitty, but you can't exactly debate a statement like that. If I say "fuck you, your mother belongs in a whorehouse," you can't have an enriched, lively debate over that. I'm just being an asshole. That's why I'm not touching it! If you want me to do an in-depth analytical essay of the themes present in Josh's babbling, I could, but you understand that that would be pointless.

Anyways, Haw, you're correct that there are more males than females in the world! If you looked at the paragraph directly before the one that you picked out, or even the opening sentence of the paragraph you picked out, you might notice that I was specifying the US and linked to a source about the US, and you might notice why I specified the US, but that's neither here nor there. Women also compromise of the majority of the population in Australia, Russia, the UK, France... all countries of high socio-economic standing. And these are all countries predominantly governed by men.

What's interesting is that China has a fairly low female population (in part because of the One Child Policy that caused parents to kill their daughters in order to have their one child be a son)... and China is also the largest country in the world. If you look at World Population, you lose a lot of interesting data like that! Even if you assume that every country the World Bank Group doesn't have information on has a male majority, you get 140 countries with a female majority (I may have miscounted, I just woke up). Males are in the global majority because a handful of incredibly high-population contries are majority-male, but if you look at in by country, women actually do have the majority.

That last paragraph you write is... kind of meaningless? Josh says " I get annoyed where everything [queer characters in media] pushes a political agenda."

His statement implies that a queer character is inherently political. But since characters are just portrayals of people, and people are not inherently political, a queer character cannot be inherently political. It's a pretty simple formula. If a reader decides to interpret a work or character as political, they are free to do that, but the character does not inherently push a political agenda.

Hopefully that clears some stuff up.
