my point here isnt that all these things are good/bad, but that 'my body my choice' is inconsistently applied. imo id prefer someone be consistent in a direction i disagree with than inconsistent in a direction i agree with

How does "my body, my choice" turn into hypocrisy when donating suicide prevention? Donating to suicide prevention doesn't force anyone to make a choice they don't have agency over. Suicide prevention is for providing resources and help for those who chose to want help.

That circumcision of male baby's/children is still legal is something I can't grasp. It seems like people care more about female children than about male children.

This one's especially eggregious because it's in the same arena where they'll also demand the same ideological purity when their opponents describe themselves as pro-life

This was 4 days ago: mobile.twitter.com/Aella_Girl/sta. One good way to not get people excessively mad at you is to not randomly bring up a 2.5-year-old tweet people got mad at, apropos of nothing I can find. Was this topical for some reason, or just out of the blue?

I wanna get better at not just spurting out my thoughts with fun as the primary objective, and instead figure out how to tweet controversial takes *without* getting ratio'd. Any tips for methods of presenting tough ideas that don't make people mad at you?

Or maybe they're rather consistent, but just not very good at expressing the rule they follow intuitively because it's more complex than four words and a comma. Ethics is not easy.
