    I hate Deathantis so im only Playing devils advocate. if you go back for enough it was intended for men. He’s just going very traditional as the part of traditional. Ugh that hurt me to type. Gonna wash my hands.

    Heeled shoes were originally worn by men, and have been found in the histories of 10th century Persian and 3500 BC Egyptian life. While this style of footwear was originally geared towards the needs of men, the 18th century saw women begin to adopt high heels into their fashion.>

      That might have been the original point. Men wear lifts to feel more “manly”, reaffirming their perceived gender. Trans people undergo gender affirming care to feel more like their own perceived gender. The difference is just that other people may not perceive the trans person’s gender the same as they do.

    I do not disagree with the simple fact that DeSantis is a bigot. I, however, dislike the clear bias demonstrated by this media outlet.

      What part of this article has a bias? Just browsing but I don’t immediately get it

        In a Thursday morning press conference in Florida, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis, a failed 2024 presidential candidate, flanked by representatives from the Southern Poverty Law Center-designated anti-government extremist group Moms for Liberty, including co-founder Tina Descovich, attempted to defend the state’s restrictive educational policies.

        In a Thursday morning press conference in Florida, the state’s Governor Ron DeSantis spoke in favor of the state’s educational policies which some groups call “over restrictive”.

        Which is more biased? The first paragraph is true, but is obviously trying to paint DeSantis more negatively.

          Leaving out details is also bias. Especially when those details are pertinent to the subject being reported on.

          That he was talking about state policies could arguably be said to warrant including politics based details of the situation. Him being a failed presidential candidate and attending said event with a representatives of an anti-government extremist group would probably qualify for that.

          The difference between:

          Man speaks at length against restrictions to future meat-production quota’s

          vs

          Man known for previously running on a platform of meat-quota deregulation. speaks at length against restrictions to future meat-production quota’s, surrounded by meat industry lobbyists.

          Yes, the second one sounds more negative, but that’s not necessarily bias.

      I want to clarify. DeSantis is a pig, he should never have held political office, and I spit on his grave (in the future). However, I still stand by the idea that this is a political hit piece. I have no dog in the fight between Republicans or Democrats, they’re both fucking awful. I just dislike the bias in journalism that is rampant right now.

        Dude wants to round up and execute many of our loved ones as subhuman, REALITY is a hit piece against ghouls like Desantis. Painting him in even a somewhat neutral to even disapproving light would be propagandistic journalism in his favor
