To the lefties: remember that every time you say you “hate all men” or something similar, you’re making the same kind of prejudiced judgments that righties do when they declare all Jews or Muslims to be evil.
To the righties: remember that every time you’re accused of being evil just for being a man, you’re doing the same thing to Jews or Muslims when you say you hate them all.
To the centrists: this isn’t a centrist take. The man-haters on the left are a small minority and the religious and racial bigots on the right are a majority (based on the politicians they elect). Quit being a dipshit and move to the left so we can get single-payer healthcare and stop oppressing minorities.
I don’t know what percentage of women think this way, but I’ve anecdotally seen a fair few of them declare “all men are pigs” or something similar in response to being wronged by someone who happens to be a man. (Not in a mugging/assault type way)
Yes, and one day people will understand that Trump didn’t say all Mexicans are criminals and rapists.
The problem is, when you make sweeping generalizations like this, even if you add a disclaimer or explanation, you’re bound to severely misjudge some people, and you’re always going to have some folks who completely miss your clarification and will just run with “oh, so we should hate ALL of them then”.
Not sure why you’re mentioning that delusional, wanna-be-dictator born with a silver-spoon up-his-ass in this conversation.
I think he said the immigrants are. Statistically they are not. A lot of right-wing radio have of course been making it out as if Mexico is filled with criminals.
This has incited violence against a lot of innocent people trying to find a place to live and support their family just like any sane person in their shoes would.
[Edit] Ya seriously, Trump is one of the bad men making it more difficult for the “all men” mentioned in the post you’replying to. Why the hell are you bringing him up here? He’'s on The Howard Stern show bragging about walking into Beauty pageant dressing rooms, where he knows minors are changing their outfits, because he owns the pageant and the girls are powerless to kick the creeper out. He’s on tape bragging to a TV host about him grabbing strangers “in the pussy”. He is A Bad Man and gives women a reason to fear all men. Especially men who support the narscisist.

This is exactly why I bring it up. If Trump saying immigrants are bad (and he didn’t even say all of them are) is harmful, people saying “all men are terrible” is just as bad, because it probably also leads to some, if not many, of them being judged unfairly because of a few bad apples.
If you think Trump is wrong for saying this about immigrants, but it’s acceptable for women to say “all men are terrible”, then I’m sorry, but you have double standards.
I’m not sure leftists are concerning themselves with bad faith “all men are scum” debates. Attention seekers and rage baiters on the internet may style themselves as socially and ethically conscious (which is funny that that gets its own discrete political ideology…huh) but no true leftist seeks to divide the working class along sex/gender lines. It’s definitely not a top 10 talking point of leftist politics.
In a lot of vampire fiction, it’s the faith of the cross-holder that matters. I’d like to see a movie where a vampire is turned by a person holding up a teapot.
I read about a Call of Cthulhu game where the Vampire Hunter was a banker that used a golden credit card, and screamed “The power of debt compels you! The power of debt compels you!”
We’re here, we’re “chilling”, but our methods of communication, systems of ethics, policies on warfare and the ideals of what constitutes a good life are so completely and wholly incompatible that we’ve given up trying to communicate with humans.
E.g: Talk to us for a few hours and you’ll be unable to contain your despair, or anger. Humans are an extremely violent, opinionated, and anthropocentric species, despite their many redeeming qualities.
Only the staunchest of optimistics are still out here observing homo sapiens and interacting with them.
It can be easier to open up to UltimateTrollWarrior95 than to someone you know irl who has expsctations for how you should act and show your emotions. I once had a deep conversation about life with some rando on Town of Salem.
First you must locate one. Watch an entire season of Ultimate Troll Warrior (an American show imported from Japan). You will likely locate one. You may have to watch more than one season. Afterward, rely on technically-savvy stalkers to dox said Warrior. Contact them using that info, but be very careful not to come off as awkward. I recommend rehearsing in front of a mirror a few times.
Yes it is. Your therapist can absolutely put you in an emergency medical hold if you talk to them about thoughts of suicide. It’s happened to thousands, if not millions of people.
I once played 3 hours of modern warfare 2 with the same group back in the day, just because some guy was pouring out his life story and how much life sucked for him around the time. He sent me a quick “thanks for letting me rant” message and I didn’t hear from him again for years.
Then out of the blue I get a message that’s basically a letter, and it’s all about how life was difficult but some random person taking the time to listen without judgment made all the difference for his plans that night.
So I will never cut someone off to tell them I don’t have time to listen to their problems, or pull out my phone to play a game, get annoyed with someone who won’t stop talking, whatever… Sometimes all a person needs is someone to listen.
Yup I remember going through a phase where it was like “I don’t have time for this person’s jabber” and it would annoy me that they wouldn’t get to the point.
Meanwhile I could find all the time in the day to do meaningless things to take up my time like playing a game. Which is totally self serving.
Then I realized this was a me problem. Not a them problem.
I really hate who I was back then. Now some of my relatives do jabber on but it’s totally ok. I make space for that now cuz jabbering is part of relationships and that’s how some people communicate and listening is a part of healthy interaction.
Yep that’s the tories for you. And why I can’t understand why people who vote for them can argue I want this 1 policy buy hate the 200 policies so I’m going yo pretend the 200 does not exist
