It doesn’t matter because the root problem here is generalization
Privilege ingrains biases in people
Lack of it also results in bad outcomes all the time
Poor people steal more but a comic saying “I can’t believe I thought a poor person wouldn’t steal” would be absurd to make
@focusfronting
I think he just doubled down on the lossless thing because he didn’t want to admit he was wrong in that original reply
His approach is arguably better than what the neuralink challenge asks for, but that doesn’t mean you can claim it is what they’re asking for
@hamhambubam
@Cryptotweetgems
Lots of deflection here
I understand perfectly well the asymmetrical power distribution in society
This comic isn’t doing any real damage to men directly
It’s still wrong on principle to make generalizations about the moral capabilities of people via inborn traits
@hamhambubam
Not everyone conceives of the world purely as a set of interacting systems
Some of us still believe in treating individuals well regardless of the power dynamic between their castes
@owenbroadcast
Absolutely
The best form of interaction I know
I love talking with my guy friends about quantum physics or something and then when I text my mom that night she’s like “so how is he doing?” And I’m like damn, I got no clue, but I can tell you about charm quarks now apparently
@hamhambubam
I think because the men here aren’t concerned with her position in the social hierarchy
We’re just bothered on principle by coming out and asserting her supposed best friend is a bad person and then deliberately obscuring what they said to prevent people from taking their side

DNIs are silly to me
The type of people to follow a DNI are never the type of people who DNIs are telling to stay away except when the DNI is full of niche ridiculous nonsense like “DNI if you go swimming on Wednesdays” or something

Realistically I think it’s just off putting to talk about it this way
Talking about deep inner emotions publically (especially with therapy language, regardless of if it’s used properly) and up front without first creating a rapport is like a psychic romance-repelling field

It’s not offensive, it’s accurate
Matron = married woman
Maid = unmarried woman
Maid is an archaic carryover from a time when unmarried meant virgin, as maiden and virgin are synonymous and maid is a shortening of maiden
Maidservant or handmaid isn’t the same thing after all
This thread kind of pisses me off
It’s a really rude and condescending assumption that men not outwardly communicating their emotions means they have an empty internal world, lack the capacity for introspection or emotions, or have low emotional intelligence
I've been feeling very under-nourished in my male friendships recently
I think there is something just kind of wrong with the default mode of male socialization/communication, something men aren't taught about relating to people

AGAB language exists to help address the differing needs of trans and cis healthcare without having to say “cisgender women and trans men and non-binary womb havers” whenever discussing topics related to the vulva, uterus, etc… or excluding people by saying “women give birth”

You’re so pathetic
You really don’t understand?

That nothing is more or less valuable than anything else on an intrinsic level, but rather value is something assigned by people
The ideology exists in contrast to prior ideologies which assert without evidence that objective meaning exists, generally through some divine order

Existentialism is colloquially speaking a palette swap of nihilism
The only major difference between the two is that nihilists reject meaning and simply accept experience as they react naturally, while existentialists still try to “create a meaning” consciously

Druid priest and shaman are all the same historically
Warlock and sorcerer are often the same
And wizard and witch are often the same, for the most part
But saying that a priest and a warlock/sorcerer are equivalent is not as easy to argue imo

Asexual means you don’t experience sexual /attraction/
It doesn’t mean that you have a magic sex-negating field that turns sexual things non-sexual, or that you can’t experience sexual pleasure or arousal
Fetish play is inherently sexual and so is the pleasure derived from it

I think I have a principled disagreement with the author’s preferred way of handling this conflict

Personally I couldn’t care less about whether it’s actually used
But it’s very weird to claim “matron” is disgusting and “maid” is not
“Maid of honor” has an implication which is arguably more anti-feminist if you’re the type to be offended by trifles
Utterly absurd to think that these guys don’t know how they feel about their divorce
They’ve just been trained not to show weakness, especially to women, there’s a pretty common rule among men not to vent to women you have even the slightest interest in
I mostly just pity men at "not sure how I feel about my divorce" levels of emotional intelligence. they're not dumb, they're confused. they lack the tools to introspect. they were never taught. the emotions are just gonna sit in the pressure cooker in their heart, maybe forever

Philosophically speaking nihilism is actually just skepticism taken so far as to reject the certainty of existence entirely, while existentialism refers broadly to the idea of meaning being human-assigned (which includes nihilist beliefs, for those less extreme proponents)

The actual disparity is not as wide as you think
Female inmates pose a much higher threat to each other than male guards, and female rape of men is a surprisingly massive rate but it’s never reported because men don’t believe they’ve been raped if they are intoxicated or drugged

What they’re trying to say is that your logic is inconsistent. The Harkness test doesn’t care if someone “looks” sexually mature just like it doesn’t care if they “look” like an animal
If the characters above are pedophilic to like, op is zoophilic
Using the test, neither are

I’m explaining that you’re wrong about BDSM
It’s sexual
You can’t sanitize BDSM to be non-sexual
That isn’t how it works
You can’t just decide sexual things aren’t sexual
If I’m balls deep in someone I cant be like “it’s platonic though, nothing sexual”
@kcincina
@Floatinginwaves
@rikardhjort
Not to mention even if we just out of hand accept the idea that men are predisposed to rape compared to women
It’s a relative comparison that doesn’t apply to most men
If most men aren’t rapists you can’t dismiss their issues because “some other men are rapists”

Other men
There are bad men out there feared by literally everyone, including other men
Saying “men don’t have anything to fear walking home in the night” is /very/ different from saying men don’t have as much to fear as women doing so, and very wrong

Except there’s situations where it is not useless
Saying something like “many AFAB people struggle from endometriosis” for example is a useful way to communicate the desired idea without attaching a uterus to womanhood

Sure
Hormonal changes and surgical procedures often make healthcare for trans people more adjacent to that of their gender than their sex at birth
However
Key differences remain that affect almost everyone who was born that sex at birth and it’s a useful medical heuristic
This one is correct and the real problem
Men know they have feelings but they’re often ashamed of them and seek to minimize them to play the socially acceptable role of an attractive nonchalant man
society tells men to suppress their feelings
women demand "go to therapy" but female modes of expression are alienating to men
all the other men in your life are just as confused cuz if talking about the NBA isn't helping, they are out of ideas
no wonder guys feel nothing
@CORCORDlVM
@MinModulation
@PantsuVor
@transhorrors
Also no
The fact they fear other men should not be taken to mean they’re somehow less valid to be scared or victims of the violence
Men are not a hivemind, all complicit in or responsible for the actions of other men

It’s complicated because he isn’t really an adult
He’s a kid with access to the memories of an adult who was a pedophilic piece of shit
A sort of being that doesn’t really exist in our world
So it’s hard to determine whether he is or isn’t going to be a pedophile in life 2
