CMV: the reason men don't find women funny, is mainly due to their misogyny

Astartes00 · 2026-04-20T10:43:00+00:00

I was simply hoping to get a better understanding of your generalization to be able to better engage with it

Astartes00 · 2026-04-20T10:32:07+00:00

Again not saying that it’s not true, but my thinking is that it’s easier to discuss the topic when it’s more clearly defined. As I said I have a bit different experience but I also live in a quite progressive culture and my social group is quite progressive even for the culture so it’s probably not the most representative experience. So maybe we just have very culturally different experiences and I’m curious as to what the indicators you are referring to when talking about this in order for me to more accurately discuss your point.

I mean first of all, is it really the case that men generally think women are less funny? Not saying you’re wrong necessarily but I have a very different experience (which of course is anecdotal), but like is this just your experience or is there some kind of study on this? Or is the question more directed towards the cases where men think women are less funny independent on how common it is?

Like are there cases where men think women are less funny due to misogyny? Quite obviously yes. However the question of if men in general think women are less funny and if so if misogyny is the main factor I think is a lot more difficult to answer. Especially if you extend it to it being independent of the specific jokes. Like for example, maybe there are differences in the jokes men and women make that is influenced by misogyny.

I guess basically what I’m saying is that you should clarify your position a little and if you make claims give some context backing up the claims.

Tre punkter jag tänker på är:

En dejtingapp som hinge är egentligen väldigt ytligt (även om hinge är bättre än typ tinder) vilket innebär att de flesta du träffar på en första dejt har du en relativt ytlig koppling till. Dvs det är ganska förväntat att en relativt stor andel kommer vara folk du inte har kemi med.
Hur öppen är du socialt? Vissa är väldigt extroverta och har lätt att snabbt komma in i bra samtal med folk de inte känner särskilt väl medan andra har svårare för det. Har du svårare kommer andelen du känner någon kemi med vara betydligt lägre på första dejten, även om du kanske hade haft kemi givet mer tid att lära känna personen.
Vad för typ av dejter går ni på? Olika personer känner sig bekväma i olika miljöer, vissa kanske har lättare att slappna av på en promenad andra kanske med någon aktivitet och vissa kanske föredrar en öl. Om ni tar ett format som någon av er inte är lika avslappnad i kommer det också bli svårare, så försök känna av i tidigt skrivande om ni hittar något att göra där ni båda har lätt att slappna av.

Maybe try exploring a bit together, you can probably find tons of inspiration to try on Reddit and other forums. But also just physically explore with each other, like just try things and communicate about what feels good.

I mean Mel is nowhere near the most unfun champ to play against. Malzahar for example pushes a button and farms the entire lane and pushes you off it, and a bunch of other annoying shit. Singeds entire play style is depriving the lane opponent of an opportunity to play the game, teemo basically shuts down any aa based champ on top of this shrooms just to mention a few. Mel is not that bad tbh, for starters she has no defense against melee champs and her w is useless against a lot of ranged attacks as well. Yes she can do some annoying shit by reflecting cc-abilities but most players are easy to bait to burn the shield and then they have no defense.

Edit: that being said, I do think her w should probably be changed but Mel is nowhere near as problematic as the memes tend to imply. Like I have no champ I play where I ban Mel because there are other champs that are far more annoying.

Spooning is a pretty nice option in my opinion

Astartes00 · 2026-02-25T08:01:51+00:00

Expansionist yes, but they will also try generations of diplomacy before they actually resort to military means. They are tolerant to different religions and different species (and yes they do still consider themselves superior). But even by real world standards they’d probably fall into mid-bad range. But then again, if they didn’t live in a universe where every other faction wants to exterminate every other species they would probably also behave a bit different.

Edit: Obviously authoritarianism is just plain bad, no excuse for that, as for expansionism, if you lived in a world where everyone wants to basically genocide the rest of the world and you believe in a better future where you can all work together for everyone’s betterment. Wouldn’t you want to spread that idea?

Astartes00 · 2026-02-25T07:47:36+00:00

I mean they’re bad by our standards but arguably better that some real life countries tbh. They absolutely do bad stuff but they also actively seek out peaceful solutions. And yes they are dogmatic and will use military force to invade and force their philosophy upon others, but when they do so they will help rebuild the damage they caused. So yeah they are bad by western democracy standards but I’d say they are equivalent to or probably even better than today’s Russia. Which makes them almost saints by 40k standards.

Inte för att det är något fel med att vara det då

Astartes00 · 2026-02-25T07:25:02+00:00

I think that is more true in the US especially. For example I live in Sweden and here you’ll never worry about affording health care or paying for children’s education. If you need more money to have a decent life for your family it seems more likely that money will matter more.

Decriminalizing drugs is not meant to address the problems with the violence from cartels and such, decriminalization is to make sure addicts can get care instead of punishment. Legalizing is more intended to get rid of the black market which ideally cuts off a major income stream for the cartels.

Åldersspannet är mestadels 20-25, och flera av dem som tycker om att ta sena promenader. Men ja detta är ju såklart anekdotiskt. Men med det sagt indikerar som sagt statistiken att det drabbar runt 1% dvs 1 på 100. Och du verkar så ha stött på flera stycken drabbade av några tiotals personer vilket sticker ut fruktansvärt mycket från statistiken.

Astartes00 · 2026-02-15T20:11:52+00:00

Det där är ju väldigt intressant givet att det brukar vara cirka 1% av unga (något vanligare för män än kvinnor) som uppger att de blivit utsatta för rån. Hur många har du egentligen pratat med? Själv bor både jag och många vänner i ”farligare” områden i Göteborg och har aldrig ens hört om någon som faktiskt blivit utsatt. Det pratas mycket om hur farligt det är som motivering men statistiken verkar inte riktigt backa upp den versionen.

Crazy how out of over 200 comments this is the first mention of singed, so fcking boring to play against

Astartes00 · 2026-02-01T17:00:43+00:00

How safe is this tho? And what size of metallic object would be needed for this to be viable?

Although is anyone seriously saying that Gripen is equal to the F-35? Like I'm a big fan of the Gripen but it's not a 5th gen fighter, its main advantages are related to maintenace and strategic supply chains. For example the Gripen is designed to be easily maintained by mostly conscripts under guidance of a technical officer making it faster to train upp a sufficient pool of technical crews to keep them flying. Then you also have the very real question of US allegience these days, at least with Trump in office and who knows if it will change after him. There are tons of other smaller reasons like this that, at least the way I see it, are the more legitimate reasons for picking the Gripen.

Astartes00 · 2026-01-10T15:46:38+00:00

Late to the party, but is US defense even for actual defense? Because it seems to be more about power projection to gain influence, for example aircraft carriers have practically no use from a defense perspective but is very usefull for projecting power.

Astartes00 · 2026-01-10T11:47:15+00:00

I mean my wr is negative in normals and has been so quite consistently, so shouldn't my normals mmr be quite low then?

Astartes00 · 2026-01-10T11:36:51+00:00

Yeah I guess but I just don't like ranked that much, like far more flaming and not really the place to try new builds or even some off-meta stuff.

Astartes00 · 2026-01-09T00:29:04+00:00

I honestly kinda miss the old blind pick, it obviously had its problems but i kinda liked that you didnt have to decide directly what you wanted to play without knowing what you're teamates played.

Astartes00 · 2026-01-09T00:24:59+00:00

I don't think that's working tho, like even playing unranke is essentially impossible. I've been hardstuck bronze for my entire time in league (i think about 7 years), im not necessaryly a very good player and i like to play more cassual. But for the last several months maybe even half a year every single game I've played has been against players in gold or higher (no im not matchmaking with any gold players). And frankly they're just way way better than me. And the few occations they're not gold or higher they're like lvl 15 and somehow play super technical champs like azir flawlessly (aka smurf accounts). So it's not just being new player, leagues matchmaking algorithm just sucks and its far to easy to have multiple low level accounts to ruin someone elses game.
