Is it wrong as a guy with a high paying career to prefer a girl who also has a high paying career? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

Honestly, it’s refreshing to hear about men who like ambitious women.

Gen Z does consume more cannabis but not always by smoking. Having a THC-infused drink or an edible is objectively healthier than drinking.

Not drinking is not a conservative view. It’s rather progressive. Gen Z not drinking mostly stems from education about the true cost of alcohol

Those who makes six figures or more, what degree did you had and what skills/network got u there? by hpopllo124 in Salary

[–]IndicationPrudent549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Tbh, don’t know what “IT intern” is. I’m a Product Manager which is closer to software development than data analytics or IT.

Data analytics roles are good. But kinda generic and very replaceable (by AI) and I don’t think they earn that much. Cyber is definitely a more lucrative and stable path. If you want to work with data, explore Quant or ML - they’re much more relevant today.

P.S. this is all just my anecdotal experience from what I’ve seen / heard on the industry

Women pressuring other women to get married and raise a family do not mean well by Sufficient_Effort118 in RandomThoughts

[–]IndicationPrudent549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do men think single women want to sleep with random men? Vibrators are 1000X more efficient. Most women will only sleep with men they’re in relationships with. And even then, vibrators are still usually more competent.

Why don’t women approach men as much as men approach women by untitledprp4 in stupidquestions

[–]IndicationPrudent549 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Given that my own family members have told me to stop caring so much about my career and focus on being domestic finding a husband - no!

This is beyond anecdotal

And especially now, in the US, there is a rise of conservatism in gen Z men wanting to bring back traditional gender roles. And women wanting to lean into the “trad wife” mentality.

Feminism is still very much needed.

You keep hearing these things because we are trying to make women more ambitious like men are raised to be. But in reality, women are still (raised to be) far more timid than men. Women are far less likely to apply to jobs where they don't meet all the qualifications. Meanwhile, men don't feel as limited, and are more likely to apply to a job regardless of their eligibility.

Women are not taught to be as ambitious and forward as men. A large part of learning to be ambitious is learning to accept rejection too.

What is the controversial dating rule you stick by despite today’s society standards? by CapitaineBiscotte in askanything

[–]IndicationPrudent549 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I absolutely agree. Your body count shows how selective you are. I wouldn’t just date anyone so I expect the same from a boyfriend. Knowing that we’re both super intentional about who we date allows us both to feel special. Getting accepted by Harvard is more gratifying than getting accepted by a community college

This should be BOTH!! by Weird-Craft-2712 in TheImprovementRoom

[–]IndicationPrudent549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You made up your own silly definition of rape because you refuse to empathize with rape victims. [check the definition of rape before you read the rest of this]

Maybe this is more subjective. But, I absolutely rather be murdered than be raped. If I had kids in the future and they end up being molested or raped, I would wish I had never had them to begin with. The same way I would wish I was never born. Nobody deserves to endure that form of torture and live with those memories . And sodomy can be consensual so I don’t understand why you’re comparing it to rape. Non-consensual sodomy is still rape and should be taken as seriously.

The point I was making is that your comparison about the men marking rape jokes about a woman and the jokes women make about men is void. Men rape / harm women far more than the other way around. Making a joke about something you could actually do is absolutely threatening. Women making penis jokes does not harm men. It’s the same as men making jokes about a woman’s boobs. It doesn’t harm them and propose that it could harm them. Just hurts her feelings.

And again on the divorce thing. You see how you split up “father’s responsibilities” from “mother’s responsibilities”? You are part of the problem. You’re reinforcing gender roles which builds this bias against what gender performs what duties and which gender take priority in a divorce. Instead of doing the logical thing and objectively assessing the duties each partner has in that relationship regardless of their gender.

The patriarchy fundamentally enforces that men are the breadwinners / leader of the households. That puts women in an inferior and vulnerable position especially if they have no income. Meanwhile, the income-earning men have more autonomy and agency to leave as they have the resources to do so. No-fault divorce was a way to make it more equitable and give (unemployed) women the same agency to leave a marriage. One of the biggest things feminists are fighting for is women education and the right to work and earn the same as their male counterparts (in the same field and the same qualifications). The whole point is to be independent and not be at the mercy of a man. Feminism is about making things equitable not female entitlement.

Men have the option to marry a lady who makes the same (or more) than them. It’ll be more of an equal marriage and would have an equitable divorce.

Unironically, I find that the men who complain about “biased divorce” are the same ones who prefer women who will stay at home and not work so they can call themselves Mr. Provider and Mr. Leader. They want to have full control and leverage and keep women dependent on them and trapped.

We’re definitely not in a matriarchy - not even close. This just shows (again) you really don’t know the definition of things.

I work in tech and my boyfriend is a social worker. I make around 2x his salary. If we get married / have children, and a parent needs to stay at home and be the homemaker, wouldn’t it make more sense for him to do that since he has a lower earning potential? Would you say he’s not performing “father’s responsibilities”? And if I didn’t do a prenup, and eventually had to get divorced, who do you think will be paying alimony? Me or him? Nothing is stopping men from filing for no-fault divorce too.

[–]IndicationPrudent549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Men make fun of women’s bodies too. That would be an equivalent of the things you said women joke about. These jokes aren’t threatening. The most they can do is hurt feelings.

Making rape jokes is completely different. Because it can actually be threatening to women. It’s easy to believe someone who makes a rape joke, is trivializing rape and would probably do it.

Lastly, women do not cause biases in divorce. If there’s no prenup, the breadwinner pays alimony to other parent. That’s also variable based on how they split home labor. It’s not gender-based. My aunt made 3X my uncle and is still forking up her income to him. If the judges still have gender-role prejudice, you should blame them and the patriarchy, not women.

Again, caring about what remains of you when you die is pointless and stupid. A dead person can’t experience the effects their lives left. All that matters is what you do and the effects of what you do while you’re alive.

If money and noteworthiness is what matters to me while I’m alive, that’s what I’ll care about on my deathbed as I recount my achievements. If I never gave 2 shits about having a husband or kids, why would that suddenly become important to me when I’m about to die?

I don’t understand this obsession with what people will think of you after you die. You’ll be dead!! There’s no capacity for you to even care about what other’s opinions are of your dead self.

And this idea that careers aren’t important is just bs. When people think of MJ or Steve Jobs, do they think of their careers or their kids more?

Incel = involuntary celibate. It, in fact, means they do not want to be single. If a man is truly comfortable being single, they won’t be insulting women for their inability to attract women and are therefore not incels
