"The effective production of functional gametes in culture would not only provide a system to investigate the genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors that shape germ cell development but may also lead to clinical approaches addressing infertility resulting from defects in gametogenesis."
"MAY" - it's hypothetical.
" the full recapitulation of spermatogenesis in vitro to produce functional haploid male gametes has not yet been achieved but is highly anticipated."
IFLS said it was fully functional?
IFL Science was lying. It lies, because it has an agenda. It is run by manhaters, and fantasising about genocide is one of their obsessions. This stuff is endlessly recycled by Feminists, and has been since the 1960s, when numerous books about eliminating men were written (e.g. "The Female Man").
They keep coming up with reports on how men are obsolete - although precisely how they will end us seems to be beyond them. Extrapolating from current activities, their big plan seems to be to talk us into killing ourselves.
"Under our culture conditions, the ESC-derived PGCLCs failed to differentiate into SSCs capable of self-renewal in vitro, evident from the absence of SSC-specific genes in PGCLC-derived germ cells.
We presume that the in vitro culture system lacks features of the testicular microenvironment at the basement membrane required for SSC maintenance..."
This is the opposite of how they were reporting it.
And IFLS were claiming that the offspring were perfect - there's no study of whether the offspring would be more likely to carry genetic faults that would appear in future generations.
This would be catastrophic in humans. We already have genetic diseases which result in dying early, sometimes just after birth or sometimes after decades of a healthy life where we can already have passed on the defective genes.
To use these techniques is to be likely creating new versions of Down's Syndrome, Autism, Schizophrenia, and Huntington's disease.
" As the disease advances, uncoordinated, jerky body movements become more apparent, along with a decline in mental abilities and behavioral symptoms.[1] Physical abilities gradually worsen until coordinated movement becomes difficult.
Mental abilities generally decline into dementia.
Complications such as pneumonia, heart disease, and physical injury from falls reduce life expectancy to around twenty years from the point at which symptoms begin. Physical symptoms can begin at any age from infancy to old age, but usually begin between 35 and 44 years of age. "
Youtube monetisation is very interesting and unpleasant. There are companies which canvas the internet for anything they can claim, despite not owning the content themselves. There was a few seconds of music from a computer game in the background of a clip and a company auto-issued ownership of my entire clip.
Now by Youtube rules, if i don't dispute this immediately, the claimant owns my stuff. If it's found in my favour - the company can re-issue the claim, again and again. No penalty exists for false claims. And they make millions - from doing nothing. It's automated. The companies don't create any content - they just steal from the hard work of others.
(Not sure if the Nostalgia Critic gets the revenue properly if a video is embedded - they didn't disable it, which is an option - but if you do like that clip, just click "watch on Youtube" and 'like' from there.)
Listen to my Fallout clip from 14:10 to 14:53.
It's clearly fair use; it's noisy and has voices all over it - there's just no goddamn way someone is going to think "I don't have to buy that tune now because i can listen to this 43 second clip instead!"
(Ironically, I found complete studio quality reproductions all over Youtube, so actual musicians themselves benefit not at all from the attack on my channel - presumably real pirates have no trouble creating new Youtube channels at a whim)
Computer games use music all the time - do we have to silence all the sounds? I can turn off music for future clips for this particular game - but if i wanted to talk about the music for the original game of Civilisation, I couldn't do so on Youtube - 43 seconds would be more than enough for some company that never makes music to say it owns my fifty minute review.
I think we are seeing the beginning of the end for Youtube. There's really no alternative service for home content creators at the moment, so this saddens me.
With the collapse of social media into Feminist-owned 'SafeSpace', it's going to be very difficult to get people to find content hosted elsewhere in any case. Unless it's SocJus approved, naturally.
You assume only your movement knows what it is and everyone elsewhere has it wrong. You never question this assumption - you just *believe*.
"I'm so tired of the "not all men" argument"
Which doesn't make it false. 2+2=4 regardless of how that makes you feel.
"CONGRATULATIONS YOURE NOT A RAPIST"
Congratulations, you haven't murdered any of your babies lately.
" don't discredit the MILLIONS of men (and women for those of you who just can't stand for a post to be exclusively about women only"
You just had to add that bit, didn't you.
Feminist: "We are an equality movement! We care about all women equally!"
Non-Feminist : "But what about the men then..."
Feminist: "SHUT IT, WORM!"
"Stand up for us"
No. If you weren't a hypocrite, you'd realise that equality means you help us and we help you. Instead, you portray us as some evil collective, and demand us all protect you from the few who are evil.
No.
We are free. We shall decide who deserves our protection. Besides, after decades of telling us that "a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle", suddenly you want a spin on our wheels?
HeForShe is just traditionalism without any of the benefits. We ain't taking a bullet for you. You don't deserve it. Go fight your own battles.
"Realize that women get raped all the time"
They don't, so we won't.
2=2=4. The answer won't change just because it's inconvenient, or because it hurts your feelings, or because you are scared of the numbers.
"Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows." 1984 by George Orwell, Part 1, Chapter 7, pg. 84.
"at a lot more of an alarming rate than men."
False in the United States but the thing is, Mary P Koss et al made damn sure to keep it off the books, and feminist media consistently sweeps it under the rug.
Might want to look up an old film called "Rape culture" - made by Feminists - the irony is the term was about a culture that allowed MEN to be raped.
" In society, we blame the victim who is a woman. "
Rubbish. A woman who claims to have been raped has often had the accused murdered on the spot. Courts will treat her far more gently than any other accuser, and less evidence is required for a conviction. So long as it's a woman accusing a man, of course.
"Get off your high horse"
We ain't yer White Knight. Fight your own damned battles.
" if you aren't helping, you ARE apart of the problem."
So any black woman who doesn't stop black women committing crimes is equally responsible? How very interesting! I look forward to your preaching your philosophy to them!
"Make a post about the (far less but still important) victims that are men"
In Feminism, all are equal - but some are more equal than others.
"Why are there so few women today in STEM fields" in the West, when it's normal for them to choose those in non-Feminist countries?
Here's an idea:
STOP DOING GENDER STUDIES.
"how does that affect research"?
You think there's male physics and female physics? That carbon will react differently in the presence of ovaries?
"Here's why it's more important than ever to make science relevant to girls"
Because despite ever increasing scholarships for girls only, ever degrading standards for boys' education and a hostile environment for young men, women just don't choose the jobs you think they should?
"I know as time goes on, she'll feel increasingly lonely as a girl who's interested in math and science"
So she can't relate to anyone of a different sex? Jeez. If only there was some sort of network of networks, so that she could chat with people with the right genital type.
If only. One day!
"Women now make up half the national workforce, earn more college and graduate degrees than men".. and still Feminists conclude that women are being persecuted.
Should no male at all be allowed into education - still Feminists will blame every shortcoming in their lives on men.
"many cultural forces continue to stand in the way"
according to your paranoid imagination - you might as well say those evil Jews are holding the good Aryan folk back, you have as much evidence for that.
" girls being steered toward other professions "
BY WHO? WHO IS WHISPERING THESE THINGS INTO THEIR EARS? How is the Patriarchy exerting this mind control at a time when men have less say in families than any other stage in human history? When male teacher is nearly an oxymoron? How does this even work?
"So what difference does it make when there is a lack of women in science? "
Sentence is deliberately constructed with the conclusion as it's premise. It never allows that there might NOT be a lack - that if women choose not to do something of their own free will, that doesn't make their decision WRONG.
" countless women with heart disease have been misdiagnosed in emergency rooms"
Yet far more men die of it - strange how you don't care about that, it's almost as if you saw men as inferiors.
" Women also have suffered disproportionately more side effects from various medications," 1) Gender is a social construct 2) Gender determines how medications work.
PICK. ONE.
Here's an idea, one you skirt around but never acknowledge.
WOMEN AND MEN ARE DIFFERENT.
It's not surprising they pick different careers given a choice.
MEN DIE AT TEN TIMES THE RATE IN THE WORKFORCE BECAUSE OF THEIR CHOICES - SOMETHING FEMINISTS NEVER HAVE A PROBLEM WITH.
(skips over a bunch of things claimed as fact but unreferenced)
" to harness the creative power of sex and gender analysis to discover new things."
Absolutely nothing has been invented by Gender Studies - it does not use the principles of falsifiability or skeptical peer review. Instead, it promotes "Listen and Believe".
There's nothing - nothing at all - that they have produced, any more than the gurus could produce levitation mats. It is a matter of faith - it is the opposite of science.
"Marie Curie, the Polish-born French physicist, here seated in her laboratory, was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and the first person to win twice."
And she did all of it without Feminism, and by working with her husband.
MAYBE... FEMINISM... ISN'T HELPING?
" as more women get involved in the sciences—or any field historically dominated by men—the general knowledge in that field tends to expand"
Where is your evidence?
" lots of places"
Really? Show me where it was proven. Because creationists say their stuff was proven "lots of places" too.
"The Internet's "Bro-Coding" Culture"? How things are in reality:
How Social Justice Warriors think programmers are like.. what's weirder, they think the person on the right is the one most likely a programmer...
Ok, NatGeo, now you have not just jumped the shark but the rest of the bloody piscine pool.
THERE ARE NOT TEAMS OF JOCKS CODING AWAY AND PINCHING WOMEN'S BOTTOMS AT THE SAME TIME.
This is idiocy. This... is #SocJus.
And I'm done. I've been buying NatGeo since I were a wee lad. Never again.
Have fun preaching to an ever diminishing audience of cultists.
"Finn was standing nearby, apparently asking the waiting media throng: "What do I have to do to get on the news?""
So the violence was premeditated.
"She had been encouraged by waiting media, Brand said, to do something. "
Oh well, how could she say no? It's not like she's an adult or anything.
"A member of the press even held her handbag while she approached the officer and delivered a shove that would be watched more than a million times."
So it wasn't a question of an impulsive act.
"She has been subject to vilification in the press... She has been threatened on social media, mostly by men your honour."
OMG! So what happened when she reported the threats to the police?
Nothing. Because she didn't. I'm betting a lot of it was "if you try to knock me down, I will knock you down". Oh heavens! Someone treating a lady as if she were a gentlemen! How dare they?
She just plays the Damsel in Distress when it suits her. And the judge rewarded that, because for her $800, she now has celebrity status. Yay?
Shortly before going off to the celebratory drinkie-poos, perhaps?
Do the commentators think it is satire, or do they think it's funny that threatening to murder all the Jewish boys in the world offends Jewish men?
Why do they even want to kill all black men?
All gay men? All crippled men, all trans men?
All men?
And every little boy that has every lived?
How do you build a holocaust? You don't build the ovens in a night. You build the walls in the heart of the people first.
You brick, brick, brick up all compassion for the ones you despise, you make them see the Other as Enemy, as vile, as cockroaches to be stomped on, vermin to be eradicated.
"Women, on the other hand, are experiencing toxic masculinity — something that has been actively destroying the world since our first human ancestors, standing upon two legs, started walking around Africa three million years ago."
This is called a Victim Narrative. You paint your kind as the innocent victim of the malevolent Other.
Here we see C. H. Sommers lecturing against this perverted paranoia. She is regarded as a heretic because of this.
In a Victim Narrative, your readers and fellow believers are to be flattered, seduced - tell them they are imbued with superhuman qualities - they love to hear how wonderful they are!
They are strong, empowered, stunning and brave.
- the Others are subhuman parasites. To be feared, to be hated.
They are rapists. They are beasts.
If only someone would save you from them?!!
"The German nation has no feeling of hatred toward England, America or France. All it wants is peace and quiet. But these other nations are continually being stirred up to hatred of Germany and the German people by Jewish and non-Jewish agitators."
“We know that Germany will be free when the Jew has been excluded from the life of the German people."
In another speech in 1924 he stated:
"I beg you and particularly those of you who carry the cross throughout the land to become somewhat more serious when I speak of the enemy of the German people, namely, the Jew. Not out of irresponsibility or for fun do I fight against the Jewish enemy, but because I bear within me the knowledge that the whole misfortune was brought to Germany by the Jews alone.
I ask you once more, what is at stake today? The Jew seeks domination not only among the German people but among all peoples. The communists pave the way for him. Do you not know that the God of the Old Testament orders the Jews to consume and enslave the peoples of the earth?
"The government allows the Jew to do as he pleases. The people expect action to be taken. You may think about Adolf Hitler as you please, but one thing you must admit. He possessed the courage to attempt to free the German people from the Jew by a national revolution. That was action indeed."
In a further speech in April 1925, Streicher declared:
"You must realize that the Jew wants our people to perish. That is why you must join us and leave those who have brought you nothing but war, inflation, and discord. For thousands of years the Jew has been destroying the nations. Let us make a new beginning today so that we can annihilate the Jews."
The context is Victoria Clark had accused someone of being a rapist. I kept pointing out she had no evidence to back her, she certainly wouldn't talk to the police - but she kept up the slander.
Then she decided he was guilty of perpetuating "rape culture", which was somehow the same thing, and I called her out for it and other lies.
And she reported it and FB closed it down - despite nothing here being broken.
The only thing I did was hurt her feelings, or at least so the claim goes, but
Oh yes, she was clearly devastated by my words. So she played the Damsel in Distress to Facebook, cried her crocodile tears, then afterwards boasts of not being affected at all.
It's a typical Feminist attack to claim to be so easily wounded the Princess of the pea story would go "girl, you gotta grow a thicker skin"!
So why was the complaint successful?
Facebook, and social media generally, had pressure on it by Feminist groups to have watchdogs placed on it for harassment.
Who did they appoint as our moral guardians? Feminists.
Talk about putting the fox in charge of the hen-house.
Of course, Feminists are a bunch of book-burning bastards, and they do love censorship and doublethink, and the idea of fairly treating such disputes according to the written rules is anathema.
So I wouldn't be surprised if my account is closed - despite never having broken any rule - by someone who clearly is breaking not just the rules but the laws.
Will Facebook become something where the unwritten rule is to placate Feminists? I can't see it lasting after that.
