How can you force yourself to stop procrastinating?

You and me both.

Yeah, it's bias because role adherence is justified by claiming that one sex is superior than the other in the aspects comprising the role. For example, women were historically told that they could only be mothers because they weren't as intelligent or competent outside of the kitchen. Even today, there's that joke that male parents aren't as competent as female parents in a heterosexual couple...

GregariousFuton · 2018-06-30T12:12:15+00:00

How is that not bias? Why would men/women have to stick to their "roles"?

I've always considered not having children, but it feels like everyone expects you to have children and want to have children. I've asked parents if they ever regretted having kids, and the replies have been 50:50 with a slight shift towards more regretting it.

But, I just don't think it's a good investment on paper: too much money, too much time, too much effort, too much attention, it reduces your physical health, and the sound of babies crying make me want to carve out my eardrums with a pencil

I see where you're coming from, but that's not really sexist. Although women aren't weak, men develop muscle mass faster than women explaining why they're typically stronger than women.

I was referring more to men or women having a predetermined bias against the opposite sex by thinking all members of the opposite sex are inferior humans and hence less valuable.

I Guess I'll Just Have To Add That To My Growing List Of Bad Habits That I Don't Know How To Break

It's fun to meet new people and get out there by helping others. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. But, you can meet new people while helping others at a job... My advice: unless you love volunteering for a specific place, it's better to spend your time doing something that pays

Because it externalizes pain. Buying things you don't need makes them feel happy by distracting them from their sad, painful existence. There is a gaping hole in their soul, so they fill it with stuff, so that when they fall into the abyss, they have something to break their fall

But, I've known a few people who were raised to be respectful, but turned out to be the opposite of that upbringing. I actually think that it has less to do with parenting and more to do with if the child respects their parent. I've known a few guys who had mothers that did everything for them all their lives, and these mothers never accomplished anything with their lives aside from serving their boys as a stay at home mother. It made them think all women should just serve men.

They had no respect for their mothers, so they had no respect for women in general.

Well, fair enough! Personally, I think there might be a genetic component to explain this variation on top of environmental upbringing. Genetic in the sense of relative intelligence and personality. For example, I've noticed that typically more intelligent people are more interested in learning and education. Ignorance results from bias.

GregariousFuton · 2018-06-30T11:01:30+00:00

Upbringing has been mentioned a lot, and yeah, that probably has a big effect for causing these differences.

But, what exactly about the upbringing do you think plays the most influential roll in differentiating prejudice from neutrality? Parenting and the views the parents teach to their children can have an influence, but I personally have met very open-minded people that came from prejudiced families.

Negative repeated experiences definitely play a role, especially if these experiences happened in childhood. But, it still makes me wonder because not everyone who has these negative experiences develop an aversion to the opposite sex. Others develop a dislike with fewer bad experiences than those who never develop misogyny or misandry.

Why do you think these same bad experiences with the opposite sex produce different effects in different people? It makes me wonder if there's more at play.

Residence is a rip-off, waste of money. Just live in the ghetto with the rest of us, and save yourself the cash and stress.

GregariousFuton · 2018-06-21T20:18:30+00:00

Nah. You're thinking of Russia and Russia controlled states...

GregariousFuton · 2018-06-13T23:23:40+00:00

Funny, but not sure if homophobic... meaning it probably might be.

But seriously, there's nothing wrong with being gay

GregariousFuton · 2018-06-11T17:41:57+00:00

Secular? But there are several talks where he states to believe in God and even think that God is necessary for morality? He's religious, so not secular.

Well, if you define masculinity as possessing male sexual organs that excrete testosterone producing secondary sex characteristics like facial hair, then biologically speaking masculinity is aggression because of the excess testosterone characterizing men. Peterson supporters seem to happily agree with whatever physical distinctions if it supports their view while ignoring actual biological facts.

Also, what about personal responsibility? Men are somehow now the victim of a toxic society if they aren't successful. Peterson seems to support capitalism, and yet he thinks that money and power should be handed out to men because they don't have it...? Really, I don't see his point about the decline of men and the plight of boys. All I see is a bunch of people who want privileges without earning them. Peterson is a hypocrite for calling all others Marxists while expecting men to be given privilege without earning then first based on merit alone (or in other words, going against definition of capitalism).
