If you think my argument is missing something, by all means, it would be useful to say that rather than passive aggressive.

You do you. Data alone is pretty useless to me.

So there are tribes with both dynamics, maybe more one than the other?. We can also look at things like, say, competitive records between "sexes" (it's a spectrum, so the binary divide is weird to begin with, but I digress). Men run on average like 30 seconds faster on the mile than women in societies with clear disadvantages to women's training.

Is this actually significant enough to exclude women? I fail to see how it could be for a role that requires a multitude of skills.

Society's seem to have stratified based on sex to "protect" women, and maybe a lot of women even prefer it. The issue is when we use some societal preferences to override the individual and prescribe roles before the individual can even develop their own preference (men and enbies included).

What I'm seeing are some societies seem to have figured that out well enough, others are more oppressive.

I mentioned some of the added context I take issue with, so I'm not sure what you mean "let's not forget." But idk, I'd need to see a video or a different angle to know what you mean he's going to French her here. It's awkward but doesn't look like that to me.

Well thank you:) I've been thinking of this video through the exchanges: "if the truth is on your side, why lie?" https://youtu.be/CRtSZXS6wzQ?feature=shared

I would appreciate if sources were provided rather than sending me on a wild goose chase or being told essentially "trust me bro"

Do you not also think there's an issue when we start saying "you can find a couple"? If even one doesn't have a source but it's being pushed as fact, I will start thinking the claim maker unreliable.

I really mean no offense, I've been trying to search and can't find anything. I've asked chatgpt, Google, YouTube. I am trying to give benefit of the doubt.

That's cool. I'll just assume they're satirical jabs. I certainly don't know shit about him lol

Uh. I'd like to throw out there that kissing your adult kids isn't incest. Different cultures have different levels of comfort around this, but a peck on the mouth is a bit much to criticize.

That is not to say him inviting his TEENAGE daughter to meet Epstein is not a massive issue, or commenting on her body, shit like that.

Maybe they don't take hot enough showers? I don't always sweat, but for sure I've noticed more from taking hot baths

Unless you have sources, in case anyone else is curious afaik these aren't real quotes. Bout got me though, I was like holy shit lol

I just want to vent a bit - I started seeing someone a few weeks ago. Old fling that I ran into through some friends that got rekindled, and I was excited that it seemed like more than just casual hookups this time. But there were some yellow flags I ignored that turned out to be red flags, and now I'm feeling frustrated and hurt.

Dude for real dropped the line that men are more "capable" and "logical" on me. That gender studies are "indoctrination." I told him we should probably stop seeing each other if that's really what he thinks. It wouldn't be logical for me to keep seeing someone that thinks lesser of me, now, would it?

I'm grateful to have some guy friends that I turned to after I left, cuz I wanted to go into "fuck all men" mode, but I know it's not true or helpful. Just like there are women out there that have internalized misogyny, there's feminist men, enbies, etc. We're all just people and we're not monoliths beholden to differences in biology. This is just sexist, manosphere bullshit in particular

Anyway. I'm still feeling angry and wanted to put it out there for some support and solidarity. Anyone have a recent win they'd like to share or something?

ETA: Thank you so much for the conversation y'all! I've been trying to keep up but I gotta get some sleep. I'll check in later but hope everyone has a good day. Keep up the empowerment! 💜

 

I know it's not the most engaging or thought provoking question, but I'm having a bad day and would really like to find a space to vent
