I still don’t understand why not USA / Canada, where cars are very common

Damn. I think they should still give food, but yeah he should gtfo.
We need to get off fossil fuels ASAP, we also should probably wean away from car centricity, it’s making us dependent on these oil cartels. They have an oligopoly and they can just yank the prices up if they want and screw over everybody else.
Fair enough, but I’d make a few objections,
I don’t think an imbalance necessarily means that we should automatically assume discrimination, for example there is a small correlation between sex and interest (men to objects, women to living things) which may account for some discrepancy in certain fields.
Hiring committees would depend but very often we see HR is majority female, and some studies show that female named job applications in certain cases may be more favoured even when the exact same application is given with a male name.
In terms of school, I can attest that boys need to stop fucking around during class time and actually pay attention, but I’ve seen another study show that for the exact same work, public school teachers sometimes mark higher for a girls work.
The last point I would make is that there are quite a few female only grants and bursaries and aid programs, but there’s very few that outright exist for males.
That’s my two cents, but I understand your perspective as well.
I think Warren Farrell especially, and a bit of Leonard Sax as well have gone into this in more detail.
Unfortunately the mainstream feminist objection is that “men should just make their own support organizations” but the problem is sometimes the government won’t give them a nickel, which I find absurd.
This guy in Calgary Canada made a men’s domestic violence shelter, (shockingly women are first statistically to initiate domestic violence, which I didn’t know). This was around 2011 or so? But the local feminists at the time online were saying that he should not feel entitled to government funding and only women’s shelters should get government funding. I think he killed himself afterwards.
So it seems like when men do band together to make a support group, it doesn’t get the same amount of government support as a women’s group will.
Canada’s real Queen is dead, lady! Get out!
We regulate cars pretty heavily, we regulate guns decently.
When it comes to dogs, across the entire world, literally crickets chirping. No government does anything.
Pretty much all female teachers, constantly scolded and lectured boys, said they were aggressive and misbehaved (honestly the boys were really mild in kindergarten)
Fast forward to seventh grade, the boys turned out exactly the way the teacher said but worse.
All female teachers through the years of elementary, except for like 1
I’ve seen a few other articles on this issue and the double standard is astounding.
If a conventional minority group struggles, they need to be helped. If it’s a man, screw them! They’re oppressive and don’t deserve help.
If men are dominant in certain fields, it’s a sign of systematic discrimination against women. If women are dominant in certain fields, then that’s just because men suck at xyz and this is just the natural outcome.
And the funny part is, I read one article about this and the editor (a middle aged woman as usual) said that this imbalanced ratio is an issue because surprise surprise young women won’t have enough men to date!
It’s almost like men’s issues only matter if it affects women, and somehow that’s the only concern.
I meant like, why doesn’t Wikipedia have a filter to detect stuff like that, obv it isn’t allowed
yeah bro i saw the pic and i was like what the fuck lmao
Basement dwelling neckbeards are common.
Strong MORALS?!?!?
So like “let’s fly on private jets to a nice swiss resort to discuss climate change”
i hope so. i think making pedestrian friendly streets are something we are scared to try because its new, but i dont think its a bad thing.
Yeah I agree for sure.
It is possible to have a nuanced view here, to recognize that a) Putin is comitting several war crimes in ukraine and b) that governments are taking advantage of the war to justify a hyper-militaristic , hawkish foreign policy as well as mild xenophobia.
Unfortunately whenever you point out part b) , people assume youre some kind of putin sympathizer
its absurd how black and white peoples brains can turn into during wartime
its just how pendulum politics works. keep alternating back and forth , rarely do we ever get real solutions.
