  • You have a lot of down votes but I think there is philosophical merit to your statement.

    Biologically “male” and “female” abilities and attributes have a massive overlap and are at worst bimodal distributions. There is no singular meaningful action that only one gender does. So you would naturally think that humans would be equal.

    Except… Women give birth to new humans. In modern times we have enough scientific explanations to take some of the magic out of the fact that human life is created inside of women. This act is so philosophically terrifying and traumatic that it creates the “female” category unavoidably in the mind of anyone who even hears of it.

    The “male” is something created out of lack. It’s an attempt to create a category by focusing on the differences between two entirely overlapping sets because the “female” is a category. Everything else, like patriarchy as a whole, flows from there.

    At the end of the day everyone is just “people” and a bit less than half of us can create new life as a bonus feature. Everything else is a social construct.





  • What I said has nothing to do with chads and Stacey’s. It’s an outcome of an almost 4:1 gender ratios on dating apps. The outcomes are the same in anything that’s badly matched. 4:1 jobs to employees means employees will jump ship at the slightest hiccup seeking greener pastures with very little getting done. The opposite ratio is of course worse with employees being abused in every way like in every recession.

    Any time the ideal ratio is 1:1 and you throw it off that hard you’re going to have dysfunctional human behaviour because we’re not designed to have so many options. We evolved in deep scarcity and a key aspect of our survival was optimizing our choices. When we have no choices, or too many choices we are dysfunctional. Fuck even too many brands of shampoo is stressful to choose from.

    I’m not judging anyone or stereotyping anyone here. The same would happen with reversed genders. It’s just dysfunctional human behaviour because of shitty algorithms.

    No, the problem with dating apps for women is that there are tons of “regular” guys looking for a relationship, but because of the gender ratios there are also quite a few “top 5%” guys relative to the number of women. Guys that are very attractive and have great charisma, the kind you’d see on the bachelorette or similar shows.

    What ends up happening is that most women will match with these guys (the same way men will swipe right on every supermodel looking woman just in case). So you have relatively few guys dating pretty much all the women they can, because our society says that sleeping with a lot of women if you can is a great way to show you have value. And for these men there are plenty of fish in the sea and no reason to settle down so they get labeled “fuckboys”. Fundamentally these men would normally be completely inaccessible to most women, but the gender ratios on dating apps create this situation where average men don’t get any matches and average women are only dating fuckboys who don’t want a relationship. Then they leave the app and quit dating for a bit out of frustration.

    In a normal setting average men and women pair up over shared interests and goals, and fuckboys date supermodels (over their shared focus on aesthetic beauty and charisma I suppose).

    Obviously this is an overgeneralisation. But it’s not exactly a gendered issue since if you flip the genders you’d other still get the same dynamic. The problem on these apps is the gender ratios. You can’t have health matchmaking when there are 10 men for every woman (or vice versa).

    This is bad solidarity. Each of us takes up the issues that matter to us, and we support eachother’s causes as we’re able.

    I’m glad people were more supportive than you when female genital mutilation was initially banned, and I hope the effort of people like this succeeds in banning male genital mutilation the same way.

    Whatever issue you think should be fought, I hope it’s progressive and good and you get the support you need to see it through.

    Good job responding to my arguments. I guess you were too busy gargling muskrat ballsack to put together a thought more complex than “I’m not a musky fanboy, you’re the Rober and fake news media fanboy”

    Edit: Good job trying to remove the “like you” after I called you out on it then attacking me for insulting you by pretending you took the high ground in the first place… You musk fanboys are all the same… All bluff and bluster…

    Just because someone doesn’t suck random idiots on youtube’s cocks like you, doesn’t mean they blow Musk.

    And you Musk fanboys are the only ones to have cracked the case that got by everyone else and every reporting journalist. Mark Rober and the Fake News Media trying to attack your best boy genius and self made trillionaire musky boy. Wow! A real Inspecteur Clouseau the lot of you!

    Edit: I’ll bite even though you’re arguing in bad faith. After the so called missing blue light hoax Rober posted the whole unedited crash video “Rober responded by posting the raw footage from the crash to dispel rumors, writing in a post on X that he’s unsure “why it disengages 17 frames before hitting the wall but my feet weren’t touching the brake or gas.”” Then you Musk fanboys decided that there must have been another more fake video for other made up reasons.

    In the end, if this video is fake, it should have been a slam dunk lawsuit from famously litigious Musk and Tesla. They would have been able to subpoena the “real” footage and sue Rober for defamation with actual harms in lost sales. Should be easy to show lost sales for Tesla, they’ve been losing sales since musky boy went full Heil Hitler. What’s that? None of this happened? Tesla’s genius autopilot by genius inventor Elon Musk is only as smart as Wyle E Coyote? Why don’t you go ahead QQ more about it!


  • There is no such thing as a selfless good deed. We’re social animals. We feel GOOD when people around us feel GOOD. We’re intelligent animals. We notice this pattern and conclude that if we make another person feel good, WE’LL feel good too. This is virtuous.

    Sharing good deeds make them feel NORMAL and people like to follow the standards for normal behaviour to fit in. This creates a virtuous circle.

    Sure some people only do a good deed to advertise it because they’ll get more capital out of it than the cost of the deed. But that’s not what’s happening here. I don’t know the store or the owner, they get nothing from me.
