I appreciate that you believe in such methods. But the problem is now is the time to hold people to the standards they have created, even if it hurts.
They have been tooting the horn that they are just as good and equal as men in ALL aspects, and time and again they Welch when it is time to prove it.
It might not be a personal double standard, but you are enabling the Female Superiority crowd to hold one.
I'm guessing were just opposite sides of the same coin. You would rather fight them over their double standard, I'd rather let them have it all including reaping what they've sown. Then just rebuilding after the fact. We've fought against the rhetoric for decades.
If the cold calculus is that women won't be able to fight as well, there should not have to risk themselves, then you're implicitly saying that... Men should hold the power as they take all the risk.
You are allowing them and enabling the double standard.
Either they are strong, independent and equally physically capable and thus able to be drafted and justified in the denigration of men all over the world... Or...
They are not equally strong, equally physically capable and therefore allowed to avoid draft and are UNJUSTLY denigrating men all over the world.
You are statistically correct with your assertion that female life is greater due to being the primary mode of reproduction but who are you to devolve women down to a uterus and protect them based on a sexual organ.
You also conveniently forget that not all Len are physically equal, capable, or strong enough to engage in war. Many a weedy, overweight, unskilled, and cowardly people were drafted, only to be cannon fodder. So if those people are draftable and capable then so are all the women who march that description.
Not accepting verbatim a number count is not denial. Are there 5 million deaths or 8? Who gives a fuck more than a few hundred puts it up there as a reprehensible event.
Questioning it does not diminish anything.
Nice to know you're an authoritarian absolutist though.
"Get in line peon so we can browbeat you some more with something you never did! "
Your victim mentality is showing.
They're both wrong. I never tried to have it both ways.
This is why you need to stop obsessing over the number of deaths and accept it as a general atrocity. The only reason to be so fervent about having the "most" deaths as a genocide is some fucked up braggadocio or guilt tripping.
It was a shitty event. There have been hundreds like it. Does it really matter if it was 4 million, 6, or 9?
And there's only one group of people who keep trying to bring up the number as a fact and keep trying to ever increase it.
One of the comments:.
"You can protest peacefully and have the right to disagree with politicians and the government. Russia will manipulate the media and its own people to further the goals of the few in power, it’s sad because of you share opinion or disagree with the state you get arrested.".
And they don't see the hypocrisy if you applied it to ANY event in the last 20 years in the west...
"What we have witnessed over Ukraine is the worst of both worlds: Western leaders like Biden signal their political virtue, puff themselves up as the saviours of the Ukrainian people, while simultaneously letting it be known that they will not devote any serious political or military resources, far less manpower, to the project of protecting Ukraine from Russia".
Strawman. You haven't read the link at all or you cherry picked past this nugget:.
"Evidence is provided on the misleading origin of the 7 million estimate and problems with the different attempts to justify it. The choice is between a figure based on research that ignores universally accepted scholarly principles and can be easily discredited due to its unrealistic implications, and a figure based on research conducted according to Western scientific standards".
The sources for the 7million guess?
A newspaper and a "report" from an ambassador type from Germany, not even the Ukraine itself.
"two sources in support of the 7 million figure: a) estimates by German diplomats in Ukraine in the 1930s and an article by the Ukrainian agronomist-statistician S. Sosnovyj published in the Kharkiv newspaper Nova Ukraina in 1942 and reprinted in the diaspora newspaper Ukrayinski Visti in 1950.".
(Hint that agronomist statician? That's a person who studies farming...they cite a farmer for death tolls)
Questioning the numbers because they're are guestimates is not invalidating or denying . That "tiny" little word changes everything, especially when abusers like you cite a number as fact.. when it's not.
You need to take a long hard look at yourself and stop trying to abuse people with guilt over something they're not responsible for because you can't let it go.
Unless you are admitting that being Jewish now is solely down to "finding a true death toll" and none of the other heritage stuff.
The same behaviour comes from black people who only have the slavery aspect as their identity.
At which point the goal of asserting guesses as fact, is only done to enable a dagger to be hung over the world, "You can't chastise or disagree with us because of this." I pity you sir. Now kindly, feck off.
Well... They are. They're estimates from book keeping records, that are partly destroyed, they're estimates from "best guess attributions" based on mass graves.
Being honest that they're estimates, does not make it null and void. It's not an either or statement, like you're trying to imply so stop being disingenuous.
As for after the fact and never stops going up... Your own damn sources.. again prove this.
Year on year the number goes up according to pew research. And is done so after the fact when they "recount".
Do you actually ever bother to read your own citations or do you just rely on Google and the first four links?
All praise the gospel. No one would ever lie about a figure to make it seem worse than it actually is for political clout or gain... Nope. Not at all.
Oh enjoy a first link Google search. Seeing as that's your modus.

They're guesstimates. Most of which are predicated on picking a number then making "facts meet".. despite no need to do so.
Read your own sources "all other estimates" . Still guesswork.
Also question the death toll is not denial.
The event happened. What is in question is the toll because this is the only genocide in history where we still track it over 100 years after the fact and the number never stops going up. Name one other genocide we still track after 100 years.
There's only so long you can use it as a beating brush, much like in an abusive relationship you can only so long use "that one bad thing" to excuse your own bad behaviour.
Yes it is.. but it's ONE of four larger pictures, which is simply, "try to remove the dollar use, we will declare war".
You are still cherry picking, you're strawmanning me saying that the ToV "draws my ire", no it doesn't and I've never said such, and now you're trying to claim prejudice and finish off with "I'm taking my ball and going home" because you cannot refute the fact that the image in the OP is not rooted in antisemitism, it is displaying that the USA is an aggressor when it comes to dollar dominance.
Care to comment on the dollar dominance which is the issue or you still going to throw false insults and declare "moral victory" over a strawman?
Wrong kind of crime. That kind of crime doesn't create an income source. It just creates costs. (Jailed person, legal fees, and as you said bas optics).
The crime they do want to catch is the lazy easy stuff. Speeding, bad driving, indecent exposure, antisocial behaviour, anything that can be caught on camera. Doesn't need large legal fees (open and shut cases), causes large fines. Doesn't need investigation.
