Well, maybe they are looking in the wrong place. Or they just have unobtainable standards.

The article treats it like a onesided issue, which when you are dealing with people, it’s not. There isn’t an easy way of dealing with this issue and the ‘men bad’ vibe this article gives off isn’t adding to the solution. It doesn’t offer solutions, suggestions or even a second viewpoint.

HikingVet, to star_wars in Is there a good list of which materials are considered canon beyond the films and how definitive is that list?

Disney would have the list. They decanonised all but the movies and other properties they got with lucasfilms. They have expanded the list, but I haven’t looked at it.

HikingVet, to memes in that look tho

Don’t forget your camshafts.

No, the world is plenty complicated. You just appear to be only able to parse soundbite level media.

And there are women who still choose those men.

Well, the tactic seems to work to some extent.

if men aren’t meeting women’s standards, then women should either be content to be single, hook up with other women, or reexamine how important romantic relationships are for them.

I take issue with the part that is bold and italisied. Not sure what you are saying, but it seems like a gross misunderstanding how people work.

Maybe we stop with top down one size fits all solutions to human interaction? The article is a good example of part of the problem, as it seems to exonerate one group while putting all the onus for change on the other. Mainly by it having essentially a single position from all them people that the author uses as sources and references and the narrow scope that they actually show.

Beacuse it is a trope used by the right to try and discredit opinions that oppose them by relying on a biased meme.

Did you offer a third opinion or did you just call them both bad?

HikingVet, to memes in Class War > Culture War

Yeah, that raised an eyebrow for me too.

If you acknowledge one side as worse than another it isn’t centrist. That would be taking a position.

The fence sitting of centrists say both sides are bad and not dealing with issues is why centrists are hated. They don’t offer anything other than the ‘Both Sides’ argument.

At least that in what I have gathered my observations.

Biggest issue with the article. NO male voices, and it’s repeating the same lines I have heard since the mid 00’s.

Now I acknowledge that there hasn’t been much movement on the dating front, but men are only half the problem, as they are only half the population.

They would change in a hurry as a group if they needed to, but men aren’t a monolith and neither are women.

You want men to be better, be better yourself. The article is garbage by saying men need to step up while not talking to them about the issues they face in the dating world. ESPECIALLY if they aren’t Hetronormative.

HikingVet, to memes in I just might get away with it....

It’s not toxic to call out bad behaviour.

That’s a framing difference for the photo.
