I wish you were to mate. In the interest of self preservation, I’m not sure I want to voice my opinion too loudly.

Wise decision 
I totally understand that.
It shits me, because I honestly couldn’t give two shits who marries whom, who believes what, comes from where, thinks what, wants to be this or that gender, etc because it’s none of my damn business.
Except, it seems now either you have to be definitely against all that - so, a prick - or definitely for making all sorts of changes just to make a few people feel better - which is ridiculous.
Example that comes to mind: allow men to marry men, no shit, that makes sense. If two guys want to get married, cool. None of my business. Doesn’t affect me in any way. Allow some man, who’s just decided he’s a woman, to play women’s AFL? Fuck off. That’s nothing to do with his right to be a woman, it’s simply not fair to the women he’s competing against. Even with hormone treatment, dick removal, etc, she’ll be bigger, stronger and faster.
Same deal if someone’s gender fluid and joins the ADF. Good on them, serving their country. Wanting somewhere to go and whinge because the Sarge tore them a new one? How about a toilet stall to go cry in, which is all the other recruits get.
Sorry, ranting, because I really, deeply want anyone to be able to do what makes them happy as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone - so gender changes, gay marriage, equal rights for women/races, etc. Then you get these fuckwits who behave as if everything needs to be changed just to fit their niche, which is bullshit.
There’s a massive fucking difference between respecting someone’s right to do their thing and not denigrate them for it and making stupid changes to try and keep everyone happy. If doing your thing means you’re not as capable as others of performing a role where fucking up will cost lives, or will give you a massive advantage over others, then you probably shouldn’t be in that role.
That’s the thing with free speech and freedom of expression, too. It isn’t the right to abuse someone, it’s the right to express that you don’t agree with what they say or do; and that other person’s right to do that thing anyway.

I agree people should be able to express themselves freely so long as other people don’t have to have it jammed down their throats too. It fucking bullshit that everyone has a movement and platform for every single issue and as soon as someone opposes it they get attacked. I personally believe it’s garbage how women want equal jobs and pay but yet can’t perform certain task to the same level as a guy!! If you can’t do the job how it needs to be done then no shit you don’t get the same pay 
That’s how I feel with the jobs in the military and why specific jobs should be for specific people… do whatever you want in your personal life but if I’m in war I need to know you can do your fucking job and have my back. Someone wants to change genders fine whatever but as soon as it affects my life or thrown in my face then I’ll give my opinion. People’s sense of entitlement because of what they are and not who they are makes me extremely pissed that they use it as a crutch to get their way instead of earning their spot. This is just my opinion but I’m outside my safe place (my log) so my shield is down lol

Monday 26th March
Simple But Brutal Session 7
BB Bench Press 3x8
20rep squats 60kg
Seal Rows 3x13
Spider Curls 2x12
Band Pull-aparts between Bench sets.
It was an afternoon session due to having a crazy weekend with no sleep. I felt I needed as much of a sleep in on Monday morning as I could afford.
Squats felt good. As good as 20 reppers can get I suppose…
Had a big pub feed after the gym for my pops 82nd bday. Bring on the gainz

Are all southern Americans so lovely? I thought you were all wild and rough folks that travelled up and down the Mississippi shooting alligators and brewing moonshine
