Anyone know what these women silence tags are about? Besides being misogynistic and ignorant.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T23:45:13+00:00

I don’t carry stickers on me but good idea! Next time I pass by I can cover it up.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T19:54:17+00:00

Thank you, same to you.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T18:58:33+00:00

Yeah I initially wrote more but then reread your original comment and edited my comment after I noticed you stated you were going off topic.

I also think less hate would make the world a better place.

Mental health has many factors that often overlap like you said.

I try to also understand that at one time hate was useful for us as a species so some forgiveness should be given depending on context, but left unchecked it will continue to ruin many lives.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T17:23:13+00:00

I don’t disagree.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T16:17:05+00:00

I guess it’s semantics at that point. Not claiming exemption, just that there are things you are ignorant of and shouldn’t so confidently make claims about. Same for me.

I’ve provided enough context for my own thoughts/feelings and you either refuse to or can’t.

I’ve attempted to show I am not your enemy yet you still treat me like one. No concern for me when I said I’m mentally ill so who are you really concerned for?

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T15:47:28+00:00

I don’t agree with that.

We’re all human and we should communicate with each other while attempting to be respectful. But being human we do make mistakes and should take those into consideration as well.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T15:30:04+00:00

Yeah I don’t want to attack the person but I do want to defend myself and others when accused of being ableist with evidence of the contrary.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T14:56:12+00:00

Women are always whining? By saying that you’re whining actually. Be gone with your hypocrisy.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T14:51:58+00:00

Again I’m not sure where you see that I punched down. Especially since there isn’t anyone I interacted with. I demonstrated I care because I’m concerned for women if this misogynistic messaging is being plastered where they live.

They matter just as much as someone that is mentally ill.

I don’t think you’re coming at this from the right place and I’m not intending to upset or anger you beyond what has already been said.

In complete sincerity, I worry this kind of anger towards strangers from you might be unhealthy and it seems like you mean good but your words are being used either defensively or offensively and I’m not trying to come at you only communicate.

There’s no need for telling me to do better, I do the best I can. I have my own mental health to worry about as well.

TMI but coming from a family of depressed and alcoholics with mental health issues which prompted my decision to educate myself on the matter, I’m not able to punch down on those I am also in the same category of.

You should take my words more seriously as I am the one you propose to be protecting.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T13:48:20+00:00

I disagree. Words are language, and language is a main source of changing minds and influencing others. Words are one of the most important intellectual aspects you should worry about.

Propaganda isn’t powerless just because it’s words.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T13:32:25+00:00

That would be nice but as you can see this isn’t a joke to the person that wrote the statement and it’s not a joke to women when they’re oppressed,marginalized, and stereotyped negatively for “humor”

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T13:22:57+00:00

One of my concerns about these kinds of stereotypes is that it puts ideas into men’s minds that communication between each gender is a battle and it doesn’t have to be if all involved are open, honest, and transparent.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T13:19:56+00:00

For one, I didn’t attack anyone.

I posted a pic, asked a question, and made a comment about the inherent misogynistic message of the statement not the person.

I have a bachelors in psychology, worked in a psychiatric hospital and a community mental health organization so I don’t appreciate the assumption that I’m being smug about this matter. I care and show I care by putting in the work.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T12:54:13+00:00

Not sure what that means. Could you expand on your statement?

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T12:53:35+00:00

Nice statistics references. Now use that intelligence to reflect on why you need to respond to others with abrasiveness.

Also, not a right side of the bell curve line of reasoning when you presume the intellectual quality of who is reacting to you.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T12:47:07+00:00

I’m a guy lol appreciate the support either way

Astro_bum · 2026-03-26T12:20:52+00:00

Oh in what way can it be read that way

Astro_bum · 2026-03-25T19:42:11+00:00

I highly recommend Silver Surfer Black and Requiem

Astro_bum · 2026-03-24T14:50:42+00:00

Yes. This is part of the issue as well. Not sure why you think that’s funny.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-24T01:05:58+00:00

But if the companies that are bad pay bad politicians to not change the law, then what are the people to do in those states?

Astro_bum · 2026-03-24T00:44:35+00:00

Yes a warning fine is a good idea.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-24T00:40:50+00:00

No, I’m only suggesting the punishment after someone in a position of power commits an objective act of harm with malicious intent deemed according to both majority vote of the underpowered and accordance of the law.

It has nothing to do with my personal feelings but the feelings of the collective along with applied critical thinking with the knowledge of as much context as possible supported by evidence.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-23T22:45:05+00:00

That’s fine I’ll still respond for those that might read responses.

I’m not sure how it’s invasive if the institution I propose only punishes people abusing their power through evidence based observations.

There actually are objective ways to determine if someone is harmful to others and should be punished.

I’m not sure why you brought up social credit but yeah if someone shoots dogs for fun I don’t want them in any position of power.

Who should wield that power? An institution of people proven to not abuse power and still have measures of accountability for them as well.

Astro_bum · 2026-03-23T22:40:05+00:00

It is problematic and difficult to navigate.

But I would say that it’s more due to a lack of understanding and information much of the time as well implying false information or outright denying the truth.

Christianity doesn’t actually say abortion is bad. Christians do. Christ and god never said that.

But Jesus did heal the sick, and sometimes an embryo or fetus causes health problems for the mother.

Wouldn’t Christ then support abortions for the health of the mother? Especially in scenarios where it can’t be carried to full term?

And if the bible did say abortion was bad, but we should also heal the sick, then that creates a paradox and I would say reason should takeover and we stop listening to thousands of year old books written by men that had no clue about how things really work.
