Well my daughter needs to be able to eat a snack or have juice in class, during phys. ed. etc. when other don't in order to maintain a proper blood glucose level. She needs a safe injection site. She would prefer that all food sold in restaurants would have a nutritional guide so guessing at carb counts does not have to be a mystery. She would also appreciate nurses in ICU being able to administer insulin levels per doctor's instructions in emergency situations, but, achieving such equity levels are not always easy.

If you were reading and following along sensibly you would not make erroneous statements. I was not equating any groups at all but identifying a fundamental principle of equity that different people have unique needs. Please follow along and stop making the whole situation any more hopeless than it appears to outside observers.

It was a joke.

Also, I asked about Diabetes cause I've had it since I was 8 :p (29 now) Never had any special treatment, always injected myself, no problem doing it out on the street if need be (though sitting down is more comfortable, but don't mind standing as I do it at the fridge anyhoot without sitting down), never actually been to ICU cause of... hmmm anything actually. You can wing it pretty well in regards to carb counts, in my experience at least. Though that might be due to the food culture here, as in food doesn't have any high-carb stuff added to it, so an average meal is 8 units give or take 2. Never expected anyone to take my Diabetes into consideration, it was my own burden and no one elses. Guess I was raised to take care of myself instead of feeling entitled to considerations, though it might be a cultural thing as well.

Actually, a lot of this is probably a cultural difference. We Finns generally take care of ourselves and expect others to do the same, yes even women. It's almost an insult to ones independence if you offer help where it isn't asked or obviously needed.

You know what? This thread is getting both way off-topic and incredibly depressing. For instance:

Haha, how amusing. Now it's a passive-aggressive circle jerk. You lack the intellectual capacity to actually formulate a coherent arguemnt, and spew nothing but hyperbole, and then stop responding when you run out of as hominems.

You people are a joke, and should stick to discussing magic, channeling and crystals LOL

Bananas, old chap, you do understand the irony inherent in that statement, don't you? No, I guess you don't...

This forum is the only one I have ever seen populated with a vast majority of intelligent, educated, and well-mannered people.

I'm none of those things, as I've stated multiple times myself.

You can't help your lack of intelligence, and having no education probably isn't your fault either (I'm assuming you really are as unintelligent as you proudly say you are, since you don't seem to know the meaning of irony), but being gratuitously and offensively rude to anybody you disagree with isn't justified by you saying that's just the way you are, therefore you're going to carry on doing it. Know what that makes you? I'll give you a clue. Funny you come from Finland - isn't that where all the trolls live?

The "ignore" button is a very useful tool. On this site I've only used it to get rid of the rubbish spouted by two people. You're the second, little man.
 
Ok... random person I've literally never said anything to. It's not ironic, because I respond to what people say, not the imagined attacks on my core values.

In fact, everything I said was accurate. Multiple people started attacking me without actually addressing me or anything I said directly, then gave eachother "likes" for doing so. That's a passive-aggressive circle jerk.

Burnt State has written paragraph after paragraph of plain hyperbolic statements that have no basis on reality in regards to what I said.

He also attacked me personally, accusing me of condoning this or that against women, and came up with an entire narrative based on absolutely nothing. Again, without even addressing what I actually said.

Even this random person whose name I already forgot just comes in here and starts hurling personal insults at me, and probably gets 5 likes for it.

So classy indeed. The fedoras around here must be spinning with intellectual acumen.

Poor poor bananas. Everyone is picking on him for being sexist. Just so you know, no one here is a "random" person we are something of a family here and anybody can get in on any convo at anytime, so you open your mouth you better be ready to defend from all angles.

No one is picking on me, I simply find the behaviour laughable is all. Also, as I've said numerous times, quote one thing I've said that is explicitly sexist.

You can't.
