    Fair enough. Polyurethane condoms do exist, especially for people of latex allergies, in fact they’re more popular in the premium priced condoms, because they’re thinner

    My concern with language, is using broadly simplistic language that is very evocative, necessitating exceptions and carve outs, either diminishes the message itself, or the carve outs undermine the objective.

    For example, the people who say “death to America” but then when you push them on it say oh but I don’t mean the people of the country, I just mean the foreign policy etc the message is very evocative, and I think it’s counterproductive.

      I think it would be easier to ignore calls like “let’s ban all bannable single use plastics”, because what would that mean? But yeah I hear you. I always thought “Zero Waste” was a stupid moniker because it’s literally impossible to have no waste. But it probably does succeed in getting people to talk/think about the issue.
