How about egg doe

Social climbing is also possible in fascism.

I like turtles.

damn now I wanna know.

you don’t call it anything until you need to.

pogs

what a jerk off thing to do

I’m sorry you went through that.

Not really, no. I don’t mind.

ugh i guess I can do metalheads too.

I want to ride exclusively with bilingual Mongolian ginger Zoroastrian jazz enthusiasts over 5’10" to feel safe and demand a feature for me to do so.

There’s already an app that does that.

It’s called grindr.

You too and godspeed.

Oh yeah, definitely true.

I wasn’t even talking about uber and i think their initiative is good.

That’s like 4 people, man, come on.

Yeah, it’s 4 people. What’s your point?

what are the racial differences that cannot be explained by culture that result in some ethnicities being more dangerous than others?

Great question. As a latino I have dark skin and brown hair and am therefore better at hiding in the shadows. It’s easier for someone to trip with me in the dark if I’m passed out drunk on the floor, possibly causing innocent people injury. This is a serious risk to society and we should be considered dangerous, especially in situations that involve alcohol.

Tomen have to be protected by men FROM other men

Yes, that’s what men are for. We protect from the other -worse- men and whatever it is their women are telling them they need to do and they’ll fucking blindly do it cause yes we’re that dumb.

But also, can we agree we all have to be protected from assholes and ill meaning people, both women and men. Are bad people usually men? Idk maybe. Physical violence-wise, probably, tbh. Are all assholes men though? No, and I can give you at least 4 examples that prove this, but also, the ways that women with bad intentions get what they want is blatantly obvious to anyone who has met one. They get men to do their dirty work for them. Fell free to ask me for a paper or study on this.

Can’t we just speak of people who do horrible things instead of blanket scapegoating a <demographic>?

And you might say men created the system and men traumatize other men which causes more men to be violent and compete with other men to hurt more women and men… But the weird thing about causality and attribution is that it isn’t a linear path and the story ends wherever you arbitrarily choose it does.

Who were these men raised by? Who are more often than not the partners of these horrible men that allow them to commit their atrocities? If us men are all savages that will never have any sense of morality and are doomed to commit one atrocity after another, surely it’s the responsibility of the humans that aren’t monsters to reduce the harm we inevitably cause by existing. And what do women do in the face of this situation? Keep having sex with and producing more men. Thanks a lot, women… Thanks for not only having sex with the parents of the dudes that bullied me in high school, but also literally bringing them to this world and raising them with evil woman influence that brainwashed them into traumatizing me.

Ok so maybe I went just a little bit overboard but surely you understand my point. Can we not just talk about individuals that do horrible things? Cause if the problem is “men exist”, the solution is easy. Women should just stop having sex with us. No more men. Problem solved in 1 generation. If you wanna be faster you could do like the 4 ladies I linked though.

Wow, you got here? I’m surprised… and flattered tbh. thanks for reading and feel free to somehow imply me having a penis reduces my value as a human being.

For real, though. I’m sorry for all the horrible men. And sure, I might be am an idiot and have opinions you find repulsive, but I know I’m not the only one genuinely doing the best I can to make the world nicer.

I used questions to illustrate my point. My point was an invitation to reevaluate repeating a discourse that’s harmful to society. Not just men.

If you’d like me to be more explicit about the statement I’m suggesting or what I actually believe, I’m more than glad to rephrase and elaborate.

I believe doing blanket attributions of <horrendous acts> to any <members of a demographic> is tribalistic hate speech regardless of how statistically likely the demographic is to commit them.

Humans are more than the demographics they belong to and we all have the ability to choose our own paths no matter where we come from or how we were born. Reducing an entire population to <the ones that commit the atrocities> is not part of the problem, it is the problem.

No different than racism, elitism, classism or sexual discrimination. It’s just plain dehumanization, which doesn’t only lower the bar on the collective moral expectations over the group’s members effectively making the horrendous acts more likely, it breeds generalized distrust and erodes empathy in society as a whole.

When you reduce groups of people, each a human being with their own circumstances and fears and struggles and trauma and feelings to “those ppl that do that horrible thing” you strip the individuals of the group you might actually meet and interact with from the benefit of doubt, the possibility of being different from what you attribute and perpetuate the very dynamic you resent them for.

I feel like the questions were a more elegant (and succinct) approach, but to each their own.

Sure. No problem.

I’m a guy. I was harassed by a female uber driver once (I wrote about it here) and I also…

I usually have positive interactions with women and appreciate the ones in my life, but just cause these things are rare doesn’t mean they don’t happen.

I don’t find this problematic, but umm… I’m just going to leave this here. And while I’m here, why not this… Oh, and this. And umm… this.

Men are statistically way more likely to commit violent and sexual crimes than women (i’m guessing but p sure), sure but um… Would you say “It ain’t white people who are casually killing each other’s gang members”? Gang violence is statistically more likely for people of some races… But would you say that’s a fair statement? And how is it different from your statement?

What is true, specifically?
