This seems like an odd thing to say. Like it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not, just which “team” is saying it.

I’m personally at 0% risk of slipping into the manosphere, but can you see how this sort of talk would push somebody more vulnerable into it? All I’ve said is that men are treated differently because they’re suspected of being rapists and according to this thread I’m a) a conservative (nope) and b) part of the problem (i.e. I’m a rapist?). I’d never usually say anything because I know this is the way discussions always go, but I guess I was feeling ambitious today.

I just think it’s fair to be upset about being treated differently because of the way you were born. You can’t immediately start pigeonholing people if they show the slightest annoyance at being treated like a rapist.

“Society assumes you’re a rapist because you’re a man” is the message I think the parent comment is arguing against.

Trans-Exclusionary Radicals

They only react with cis isomeric alkenes?

Prayers for those who died of blood loss 2 hours before God pushed the “allow transfusions” hotfix ☹️ 🙏

I went to Wales recently and they didn’t have them! My car still stinks of Dr Pepper from all the spills

I don’t think there’s a K in bacronym because it’s short for barely a causal relationship of numerous yucky morphemes

Yes but to be fair we also call each other child molesters somewhat casually

What are you actually trying to say though? The sentence ostensibly compares two values. “Number of times you’ve been to Berlin” vs “Amount of people who’ve been to Berlin”. You can’t compare those two. As a maths teacher would say, you’re mixing your units.

Are you joking because that makes no sense

“Not Israel?” “Well… <exasperated sigh>”

They have frogs and snails and force-fed goose liver

We need to remove some of the links from the fediverse logo to show all the defederations

This highlights a major flaw with the idea, because that’s not nearly long enough

They think gay stuff is like crack, once you get exposed to it you’ll be addicted and there’s no going back.

There’s some truth to that, but only for a certain percent of the population. The rest are immune. We have a word for people in that “vulnerable” category, and the word is gay. So unless you’re gay there’s no need to worry about it. Worrying about gay stuff turning you gay is gay af

So according to you if you’re on a low wage, sexism doesn’t matter because it’s only a small difference.

If you’re on a high wage, sexism doesn’t matter because you have enough money anyway.

Ok so the upshot is that asylum seekers don’t take photos of people in public because they mistakenly think it’s illegal. Doesn’t seem like the worst outcome.

He’s probably the stingiest bastard of all

I’ve had beggars try to give me their stuff instead of asking for anything

Yes but when they see me sat with my stained shirt and 10 year old phone, they know there’s no hope for a tip so they hit the 0.

Maybe you just look like a cheapskate
