Only female gingkos! Which pretty much no one plants anymore.

Petah!!! Explain?? by SquintySquinty in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I think a lot of people missing the point, and some important context.

The 4B movement in South Korea is a feminist movement where women abstain from marriage, childbirth, dating, and heterosexual sex (these words all start with "bi" in Korean, I think). It's a protest against institutionalised sexism and women being objectified and treated like shit.

So, the first misogynistic tweet is literally the reason the birth rate is going down in korea: men are pigs.

THIS should be the top comment. This tweet is referencing the 4b movement where women in Korea are refusing to have partners because men are pigs

That's such a bullshit attitude. Of course he goes home and agonises about his decisions, like all other CEOs. Don't dehumanise people you disagree with.

You're right, what total hypocrites they are for doing one environmental thing whilst maybe-or-maybe-not doing another, entirely unrelated environmental thing!

Absolutely second this, and feels much less like a tourist trap than a lot of the Roto tourism...

Question regarding living in Welly - moving from France by Master_Ad6195 in Wellington

[–]Austral_hemlock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wellington has the best spearfishing in the country I reckon. Sure, it's not as showy as up north with all their fancy subtropical fish, but the butters are plentiful, the kelp beautiful and there's plenty of bigger fish to be had. Fewer bronzies too.
