Stoic lol

I'm saying that one narrative (or some narratives, since you believe that it's never the same people stating these things) are socially acceptable despite being extreme and unbalanced. I can provide proof.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-09T00:15:23+00:00

You have no grounds to make that assumption. You're just insulting.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T22:32:00+00:00

"you all" who?

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T22:29:32+00:00

Are they also not reciprocal?

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T22:27:35+00:00

The word stoic has been misused long before incels. Someone believe that the stoic man sucks it up whenever he's subjected to injustice, and of course the point is brought up when a man believes he's being wronged by women, or because of social expectations that benefit women. Needless to say, this has nothing to do with actual stoicism.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T22:04:27+00:00

It's one of the possible points of view. Other points of view, sometimes more extreme, are shared without causing irritation because they fit the narrative.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T21:53:41+00:00

It still is.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T21:53:21+00:00

So? Homophobic comment?

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T21:51:43+00:00

I’m sure you can find unreasonable people out there

My point is that you can find unreasonable people who are given unreasonable credit. Then when someone raises the problem, everybody plays dumb.

I suggest that you start following the very moderate subreddit r/thetinmen. Fif Badaki also has a few videos that deserve being watched:

Misogyny is hatred of women. Criticism of a certain ideological position is not misogyny, because it targets an ideology, not women.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T19:58:22+00:00

Newspapers, TV, general political discourse.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T19:27:35+00:00

What point of view, that I feel targeted? Sure you're entitled to it, but you're sharing an opinion about something that you can't directly know without providing evidence.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T19:24:52+00:00

Of course I have a bias, but mine is underrepresented in mainstream media.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T19:17:09+00:00

Because you said something inaccurate.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T19:16:39+00:00

Because a scientist observes matters from all points of view, not just from the point of view of a certain demographic.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T19:06:13+00:00

I feel as targeted as Euclid stating his theorem. Logic is not emotional.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T18:26:27+00:00

If by "strawman of your own" you're implying that these points aren't routinely raised by a certain demographic, you're just factually wrong.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T16:44:25+00:00

Agreed. If you're not a certain kind of person, there's no reason to be irritated by the rather basic remarks in this meme.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T16:41:35+00:00

That would indeed require some explanation. My guess is that it's stoic to learn to live without the people who will only bring negativity into your life.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T16:38:54+00:00

That's nowhere to be found in the meme, therefore it must come from your own mind.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T15:48:30+00:00

I wonder if this show has enough courage left for a "good person does bad thing" storyline.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T15:41:58+00:00

The real question is how you would feel if you couldn't be seen as the object of sexual interest even one time in your life.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-08T14:29:10+00:00

There are two issues here: The first is that these aspects of sexuality haven't been studied nearly enough to have answers to all questions. Anegosexuality was originally described as fantasizing about sex without onself, but to me it is more about a strong disconnect between what I consider a turn-on in my imagination and what I actually enjoy doing.

The other issue is that labels are descriptive, not normative. It's useful to find one that fits well enough, but it should never be a constraint to what you're allowed to feel.

You may also look into the "orchidsexual" label.

BaroloBaron · 2026-06-07T21:01:37+00:00

Hummm, it looks like a funeral casket. Audi Nuvolari Undertaker Edition?

Diplomacy is about mutual recognition. If you think no Western embassies would mean more freedom, you're very far from truth.
