that andrew tate is an “alpha male” and its a good way to live/behave.
that chinless fuck is ruining a large disenfranchised group of men
That's very true. Just saw him in the news today, I forgot he lead that human trafficking thing in Romania:
That anyone has their life together. Everyone is just winging it for the most part.
So true. I hope more people realize this so that we can be kinder to each other.
Good one
Yeah but there are degrees of having one’s life together.
That it's good, necessary or acceptable to cut bits off your baby's genitals.
The idea that men make more than women for similar jobs with similar experience is a myth that needs to die.
The idea was based on flawed data from the get-go, but it has persisted because it is an easy way to rile up the troops.
Whoo boy.
I used to work in the financial industry, specifically in a program geared toward women (trying to make financial services more approachable and inclusive). Much of their published "educational" material is about the harsh financial realities of being a woman, and the writers keep repeating this falsehood ... as if the phrase "controlled pay gap" is profanity.
Don't get me wrong, we should still be mindful of bias. We should acknowledge the pressure on women to take career breaks as caretakers (and, on the flip side, the pressure on men to be primary wage earners). And it's perfectly valid to question whether pink collar work is undervalued and underpaid because these are traditionally female occupations.
But the women I worked with (most of them VPs in finance) simply preferred to believe that they were underpaid because of their gender. No matter what dollar figure you offered, no matter the industry/company/job role/etc., they would firmly believe that having a penis = 20% pay bump.
Like ... that's not how averages work ??
That you can grow up and be anything you want.
Yeah, there are still people telling the lie, and still people believing it
Chris Rock said it best and it has always stuck with me:
"Stop telling kids they can be anything they want to be. You can be anything you're good at, as long as they're hiring."
Surely it's like that line from Rattatuille, "not everybody can become a great chef, but a great chef can come from anywhere"
So in a sense it's true that you can grow up to become anything, but there's an unspoken caveat that the above is only true if you can overcome your own personal economic/societal/mental/physical/geographical obstacles.
That thing is more about collapsing options as time moves on though. When you're a kid you really can be 'anything' ignoring social and economic stuff. The probability curve is pretty open to anything at that point though. Once you're thirty it feels squarely like that is less true and my options are clearer but more limited.
It's scary but also awesome that you have so many open doors as a kid and adults that say this are mostly envying something they've lost and didn't appreciate or see until later
EDIT: The myth that peeing is a precise art that our organs can successfully aim all of the time.
There's all kinds of "spray patterns" that the organ produces. Its the skill of the adult human who has mastered their organ and has figured out the peeing patterns to successfully hit the toilet in most cases, although there are some patterns that contradict other patterns which means there's always a chance you (hopefully temporarily) miss the toilet until your aim readjusts.
Ugh when the center sticks and you have two streams going in vastly different directions….
That's one of the hardest ones to deal with, but I'd say 2nd hardest.
The absolute hardest is when the tip is deformed like some kind of weird spray-nozzle and it comes out like a fine mist.
This... I've only had it a few times in my life... but this is absolutely the "hardest pee" to deal with.
A few years back I started sitting to pee, and my god it's so much better. No worries about it spraying everywhere, you don't have to pay any attention, just sit and pee. I still pee in urinals when out in public of course, but at home it's all sit all the time.
Interesting
That society was completely built around men’s prerogatives and therefore anything bad about society should be blamed on men.
