Seriously, what’s the point in keeping it around? There’s really very little if any upside.

There’s perfect, and then there’s “Sure I’m supporting a genocidal, Nazi lunatic destroying global democracy, but like… how else will I hear about what public personalities had for lunch?”.

Not sure the bar could be any lower.

If NY and California just split off or joined with Canada…

Sync without a doubt.

I’m not saying I’m on team asteroid…

I’m of the opinion that billionaire is a pathology personally.

Guy owns how many yachts? I think Gabe sucks personally.

Lemmings?

Maybe there should be a fediverse dating app?

Yeah I’m not seeing any way around that sadly. At least for places where you want/need to know the content is from an actual person.

I mean I had to look it up. But this is the first I’ve heard the term.

TIL what a pick me girl is…

I’m curious if this has been studied at all. Like what is a social battery and how does your brain know when it’s low?

How else will he stay motivated?!

Overwhelmingly, research has found interesting gender differences among the general public as well as among college students: men are more likely to be victimized by crime than are women, whereas women are more fearful of crime than men

I’m also not even very likely to be the target of an attack unlike a woman and I feel this way

You are technically 3 times more likely to be murdered as a male than as a female though (this number varies by source to be fair, but males are always higher). Now if you remove partner violence (since the post is about random men), that number is even more disproportionate.

The parent point remains though, you’re ascribing an ill on a huge group (half of the entire population!). At best, it’s lazy, low resolution thinking. At worst it’s the source of prejudice, and ill will.

Again, I don’t care. It’s a silly joke, but I’m not going to sit here and pretend to not get why others might be offended by it.

I get that you’re really passionate about this topic. But the point seemed to have been missed. The parent post is blaming “men” and not “men who x”.

The most like-to-like comparison I can think of is “Family life is such a vibe… it’s a shame that women like to murder babies tho”. Does that help make it more obvious?

The irony of your comment…

I mean honestly, what’s the alternative?

This is basic game theory as far as I can see.

You don’t get it? I’m not upset by it, but it makes sense that others might.

What if instead of men it said Jewish people? Black men? Short Asian females? Brown folks? Makes it a little more obvious why it would be problematic no?

It’s casting blame/shame on an incredibly large group for no particular reason (humor?). It’s just a dumb joke, but again, I get why some might be offended a bit.
