    That it should be legal is the null hypothesis, which must be overturned by arguments that demonstrate that criminalizing it makes society better before we can determine that its illegality is just.

    Fortunately, there are extensive bodies of work on the morality and legality of dueling, since it was a pretty common activity in the US between the Revolution and the Civil War. Don’t take my word for it. Do a little research, my woman.

      So on matters of consent, the authorities you choose to cite are slave owners, misogynists, and homophobes?

      Is there even one author among the sources you pictured who would have supported my right to exist as an atheist bisexual emancipated trans woman?
