    Why the hostility?

    It seems pretty clear to me that they meant there’s no “what is a woman” definition that’s shared between all laws of a government.

    Each law defines the terms they contain, which can contradict definitions found in other laws.

    When one law changes its definition of a term, it doesn’t mean other definitions of the term are also changed.

    That’s your opinion, not a fact.
    And the issue with that is you’re only seeing it as two sides and a fence-sitter.
    Centrists form their own views and positions, independent of the parties on either side.

    There’s no forcing them to take a position, they already have one.
    And when they have to vote for/against legislation changes, they’ll side with whichever option aligns most closely with their views.

    US pseudo-centrism is right wing though, which might be what you’re confusing real centrism with.

    Getting everyone’s basic needs met is more of a centre-left ideology.
    Many centre-right parties believe in things like public healthcare, because it has a net-benefit to the economy.

    Centrists don’t sit in the middle of every issue or make an exact 50/50 compromise on everything. That’s a really poor strawman argument from someone who clearly doesn’t understand global politics.

    I guess you’re confused with people in the U.S who think having views somewhere in-between those of democrats and republicans makes you a centrist.
    That U.S-specific ‘centrism’ is really just right wing politics.



  • Because most reviewers will still have subjective biases, and what some people perceive as a 10 might be a 5 to others, and vice versa.

    I personally try to avoid looking at ‘raw’ ratings when I’m trying to find new media.
    Full reviews are better, because they’re able to express more nuance, and I’m able to decide if the parts they liked/disliked are things I care about.
