hey man youve been taking a while putting your change back in your wallet and i just wanted to let you know we are kicking you out of the grocwery sytore forever. goodbye

merry pass the yaoi friday everyone <3

for women, strength is how much pain you can endure

for men, strength is how much pain you can inflict

Stop speaking for men, especially if you are not and have never been a man.

Men throughout history have worked exhausting hours and worked horribly dangerous jobs to provide for their families.

Men work so hard in pursuit to help their families that they often lose the chance to actually be there to watch their kids grow up and bond with their loved ones. So often that it has become a trope.

Men are the overwhelming majority of combat injury and death throughout history, protecting their land and loved ones from invaders.

Men are the overwhelming majority of first responders and law enforcement who put their lives on the line to protect people like you.

And enduring all of this for the sake of others is fully recognized as strength to all accept sexist radfems who want any excuse to spread hatred and generalizations about men. From sexist radfems who will do anything to make women as a group appear to be superior by default instead of equal, like they claim.

Claim #1: men work harder than women. 

Status: FALSE

Men have worked, historically, a fraction of the time women work, with more recognition and more reward than women.

Prehistoric women had stronger arms than modern athletes (1).

In the United States: The Equal Pay Act was an effort to correct a centuries-old problem of gender-based wage discrimination.Women made up a quarter of the American workforce by the early 20th century, but they were traditionally paid far less than men, even in cases where they performed the same job. In some states, female workers were also forced to contend with laws that restricted their working hours or prohibited them from working at night (3).

The Equal Pay Act did not pass until 1963 (4). The wage gap exists to this day, due in part to wage secrecy, differing job titles for men and women, and a consistent undervaluing of skills when presented with a resume with a female name on top compared to a male name (5).

To be fair the above study has been conducted in everything from teaching to business. Male names get better offers and more interviews. Female names and obviously nonwhite names get poorer offers and fewer interviews. 

Claim #2: men don’t get to spend as much time on childcare because they work too hard

Status: FALSE

Fathers have more free time than mothers (6). There is still a gender gap in the amount of house work men do. Full time working mothers spend more time doing childcare work than stay at home fathers (7). There’s even a gender gap observed in young children; daughters do more chores for less pay than sons (8). 

Claims #3 and #4: men are overwhelmingly injured and killed throughout history and this is women’s fault

Status: FALSE

Much of these stats were taken from my other post, which, curiously has not been rebutted in any meaningful way. If you’ve read that before feel free to skip this. 

Men are overwhelmingly first responders because historically men have barred women from being considered for fields like active combat (below), firefighting (8), and the police force (9). 

Secondly, war affects the lifespan of women more than men. Even putting aside that most people killed from wars were not considered active combat:

Effect of Armed Conflict on Life Expectancy - Plümper and Neumayer 2006 In this study, armed conflict was demonstrated to have a statistically significant and adverse effect on women as measured by the decline in the ratio of female to male life expectancy (Plümper and Neumayer 2006). Normally women live longer than men in almost all societies, so a decrease in the gender gap is interpreted as suggesting that the direct and indirect consequences of conflict combined either kill more women or that the killed women are younger on average than the men killed. The authors therefore concluded that wars negatively affected women more than men when taking into account the entire conflict cycle (10).

Women still make up the vast majority of trafficking victims (11), sweatshop workers (12) , and prostitutes (13) in the world. Are you now going to claim that a US soldier, whose risk of dying was approximately 0.33% in Afghanistan alone over the past 15 years, has an equal risk of death as any or all of these professions? Because you’d be wrong.

Total number of troops in Afghanistan from this source (13). Total number of Afghanistan US troop casualties here (14). Table 1 below.

Table 1: tally of US troops deployed to Afghanistan (13) and total US casualties (14) expressed as a percentage using the following formula: # deaths * 100 / Total # of troops deployed. Max is the maximum percentage of troop death to deployed, min is the minimum percentage, and ave is the average percentage. Please note that even the maximum percentage is half a percentage point. 

The maximum percentage of troops who die is 0.496% or 310 deaths out of 67,000. Prostitutes, particularly trafficked women and children, on the other hand, have nearly an 8% chance of being murdered while actively in prostitution (15). Please note that the overall statistics given in the abstract look at the women over 32 years, and that many of those women were not actively prostitutes for that long, in part because of the declining income earnings for older prostitutes (16). 

Claim #5 “And enduring all of this for the sake of others is fully recognized as strength to all accept[sic] sexist radfems who want any excuse to spread hatred and generalizations about men. From sexist radfems who will do anything to make women as a group appear to be superior by default instead of equal, like they claim.”

Status: FALSE

Putting aside that this person misspelled “except,” claimed that male supremacy is “Fully recognized as strength to all,” and that they called “radfems” sexist and hateful approximately four times in only 56 words, where is the evidence of “sexist radfem hatred”? Where are the radical feminists killing male infants because they were born male? I have statistics of men killing female infants shortly after their birth (17). 

Where are the radical feminists raping and murdering men, insisting that men change their names after marriage, insisting that male bodies be legally regulated? 

I have statistics on the other side, too: girls age 15-19 in the world will most likely die in childbirth than any other cause (18), half of all Americans believe a woman should be legally forced to take her husband’s last name (19), marital rape was legal until 1993 (20) and to this day women can be made to pay alimony to their abusive husbands who have attempted to murder them (21), and that marital rape is still “semi-legal” in eight US states (22). 

The claims above can only be accepted as logical with the following unsaid assumptions: (1) women owe men gratitude for our existence (2) by living independently, women are stealing something from men that is owed to them and (3) the only true “equality” between the sexes involves a recognition that men are superior. Those assumptions are all FALSE.

The underlying claims are also false.

Currently around the world women perform 90% of all labor

I think it’s interesting that the people getting mad at the original post assume that it inherently paints men as villains. When I read that statement I think of how those same standards hurt people who deviate from gender roles. Aren’t y'all the ones always talking about how “patriarchy hurts men too?” How they’re not supposed to be gentle or emotional? They also seem to make the assumption that OP agrees that enduring pain is noble and wants women to suffer, which I can’t imagine is true.

like imagine a hobby that is less of a hobby than funko pop collections. you can't. if you told me your hobby was literally watching paint dry and grass grow I would fuck you on the spot because that's so sick and five hundred millions times cooler than funko and also because I am driven into insatiable lust by cartoonishly boring people. I didn't say that.

it's not even that ppl slightly misunderstand radical feminism. they FULLY don't even know the core tenets and then end up saying stupid shit like "radical feminism thinks if you have short hair, you should be shot on sight because you have betrayed the barbie code" and will get 40k positive notes lmaoo

I think ive said it before but you really gotta feel bad for oedipus that wanting to fuck your mother got named after him. He really did not want to do that . It is central to oedipus rex how badly he didnt want to do that. Dick move by freud

i hate the phrase "the personal is political." no it isn't. the personal is MORAL. MORALITY is what's always in play, not decisions of governance. what disturbs me most abt the common usage of this phrase is that is seems to imply that for many ppl, the concept of POLITICS has replaced the concept of MORAL RIGHT FROM WRONG. and you are rlly sick for that

// An AI company wants to pay you cryptocurrency to absorb your biometric data through their steel orbs. What problems could possibly come from that???

Item: Orb of Eyeball Scanning. Don’t worry, when it absorbs your identity into the company’s pool, it will pay you in magic money, so that’s fine.

Taking maiden applications now

tape casette recorders are compatible with literally every. single. thing. im out here living in 2095.

things you can record (audio only), simply by lying to your computer, telling it that the tape recorder is actually a set of headphones:

and with a VCR you could do all of this AND have the visuals as well… but an audio cassette recorder is a good place to start, since they’re small and simple. I would not recommend a boombox, because those are large and nowadays all very, very bad quality.

Now you may be saying “how is any of this helpful, I want a digital file…” here’s the fucking magic. You go into Audacity (free program), and lie to it that the tape recorder is really a microphone. Then you hit record on Audacity, and hit play on the tape, and let it play at regular speed. Trim and export the digital file, and you’re doing gangbusters. You’re cooking with gas. You’re thinking with portals. You’ve won the internet.

Congratulations, you can “pirate”* anything you want, and literally no one can catch you, because you’re not downloading in the traditional sense. You’re streaming to an external device, and that device is recording what it receives. It’s exactly like taping a live tv show to a VHS. This is a very low-key and non-strenuous task for the computer, since your tape recorder does all the work.

*Is this piracy? No. Well- it’s time shifting. Sort of. Tell it to my Steely Dan albums. Tell it to my The Sims: Hot Date VG Soundtrack album.
