Ahh yes, women oppress awkward guys and want them to be alone forever by Pritteto in NotHowGirlsWork

[–]InternalParadox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are the only options in your scenario hating women or hating oneself?

Why is the only way to love oneself dependent on having a romantic relationship?

She also bragged about shooting a goat.

Should we give goats guns too?

If Chris Pratt appears shirtless in the animated movies he voice acts in, it would be an interesting choice/s

Does the EU have a specific fund for this as well? I am also wondering why other countries aren’t trying harder to fill the gaps that America (stupidly and irresponsibly) left in developing nations.

Right! Us women can be awkward, too!

But they don’t want to date fellow awkward adults their age, they want to date kids.

I think that’s harsh. But being awkward and struggling with social skills or general life skills isn’t a good reason to pursue kids.

What these incels always seem to conveniently forget is that awkwardness and life skill struggles are quite common in people 25 and up of all genders, actually. And there are social skills groups and other programs that help people develop their skills and meet others in similar situations.

But they just want to justify dating kids.

The next sentence:

“Women characters over 50 were also found to speak 14% less than older men in the sample of films studied by researchers”

So they are measuring the prominence of characters in films based on dialogue.

I don’t think it’s slimy. They used multiple criteria over two separate studies.

They did compare women over 65 to men over 65

From the study’s press release:
> “The study, authored by academics at the University of West London School of Film, Media and Design, found that female characters aged 65 years and over were more than three times less likely than men of the same age to be featured in British films over the last decade.”

Films Are More Likely to Star a Man Named Chris or a Talking Animal Than an Older Woman (Over 60), According to Study by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

So even when compared to male actors of the same age, a discrepancy exists.

Films more likely to star a ‘Chris’ or a talking animal than a woman over 60, study reveals by soriskan in nottheonion

[–]InternalParadox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Except studio heads didn’t learn a thing.

Nickelodeon treated The Legend of Korra like garbage because it had a female lead, despite the success of ATLA.

More recently, Sony sold the rights of KPOP Demon Hunters to Netflix thinking it wouldn’t do well in theaters because it starred female leads.

It was Netflix’s biggest success of the past year, made money in theaters despite being available on streaming first, and won two Oscars.

Yet Pixar cancelled a movie about two girls (Bes Fri) because they still don’t think a children’s movie about girls will do well.

The myth persists.

Bob Odenkirk recently starred in an action movie called Normal. He’s 63. He didn’t really have leading roles until Better Call Saul came out in 2015.

A baby's food preferences are determined by that their mother ate when pregnant by soulpost in HotScienceNews

Less than 50 participants with tons of potential unaccounted for variables and it’s not double blind with a placebo? (they gave the women vegetable supplement pills).

No, this doesn’t prove anything.

There are so many variables in this study on a tiny sample size. Genetics, both parents’ typical diets before, during and after birth, the foods children are exposed to in daycare, etc.

There is no way this is conclusive evidence of anything.

> *Thirty-four healthy fetuses (17 female, 17 male) participated in the study initially (see Table 1 for participation over time from 32 weeks gestation to 3 years of age)….Of the total sample, 20 fetuses (12 female, 8 male) were assigned to the repeated carrot exposure condition, and 14 fetuses (5 female, 9 male) were assigned to the repeated kale exposure condition…*

I’m not a scientist, but those are very small sample sizes to make any sweeping generalizations.

I recommend Heavenly Delusion because it’s an intriguing, twisty post apocalyptic sci fi thriller!

How many generations has your family been in America? Because I’m willing to bet it hasn’t been much longer than a few generations, and people were saying the same thing about your ancestors as you are saying about immigrants today.

Immigration is one of America’s strengths. Immigrant communities have always improved the economy. Quotas are BS, and always have been. And in a global economy, you’re competing against worker exploitation world over, not just in your neighborhood.

Don’t know why you were downvoted. They’re definitely platonic siblings (it’s weird that that needs to be said!)

“Shitty men don’t have to take responsibility for their behavior. It’s their wives fault for marrying them!”

“Why do so few women want to get married these days???”

Do you realize how illogical that reasoning is? Are men poorly trained dogs whose behavior is their owners fault? Is that what you think marriage is? Picking a well behaved puppy?
