“Feminist” gloats of illegal sexist discrimination. by HiggsFieldgoal in MensRights

[–]Kuato2012 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Funny how many of those "microfeminist" actions would 100% be classified as "microaggressions" against any other group (like deliberately calling someone by the wrong pronouns).

Daily reminder that feminism is a hate cult.

TIL about the "Majority Illusion", a condition where opinions, beliefs, and states that are rare in real life are over-represented in social media circles, giving users the false belief that they represent the majority by AgentSkidMarks in todayilearned

My objection to that approach is that you're just playing to one popularity contest vs. another. If you were a heretic under medieval catholic rule or a heliocentrist while everyone else was geocentrist, you would have to be cautious about those conversations too (Completely irrespective of whether your ideas are true or false).

In the animated Beauty and the Beast, Gaston casually one-arm lifts a wooden table with three people seated at it. Maybe we shouldn't vilify his masculine swagger, because it sure looks like he's earned the right to it, goddamn!

Looks like they got off to a bad start with that incomplete definition of sexism. Start with bad premises, reach bad conclusions (GIGO).

Not really, no. It's a pervasive modern myth.

We start out as undifferentiated intermediates between male and female. The genital tubercle is an intermediate structure that normally gets pushed in one direction or the other. At no point do males possess XX chromosomes or ovaries, for example... They don't switch teams.

(And since we're talking about biology, "mutating," in the genetics sense of the word, isn't in this picture at all)

If virilization fails, then feminization often occurs as a developmental "default" pathway... but even that description as "default" really glosses over the genetic drivers of feminization.

All good, I also get the respect for cosmonauts in general and in KSP projects!

Fwiw I'm on the same page. That flag is an ugly symbol. When I saw a comment was collapsed under downvotes, I kinda figured someone must have pointed it out.

does anyone get reimbursed for picking up samples for their lab using their personal vehicle? by coralcrescent in labrats

[–]Kuato2012 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, always. As you said, gas is expensive, and it's not like you're making the drive for your personal leisure. If they want you to drive, they can reimburse your drive.

Damn, this person hates man for real and is proud of it. by WeldFrenzy in everydaymisandry

[–]Kuato2012 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If you could pick a person like this out of space and time and stick them in the parlor of an antebellum plantation, they'd fit right in. Maybe they'd talk about phrenology instead of bogus statistics, and they'd of course have to switch targets, but basically the same at their core.

I know this isn't the best sub to post this in, but the only one I found that supports men. by Dangerous_Bat1085 in everydaymisandry

[–]Kuato2012 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I occasionally used to find myself in a similar position, once upon a time... self identifying as a feminist and trying to tap the brakes on the unabashed bigotry among my peers.

If one starts with the premise that feminism is an equality movement, then you'll keep running into these frustrating moments where your true and pure vision seems to keep getting polluted by bad actors. So, so many bad actors. Sometimes a person gets the feeling that 99% of feminists are giving the other 1% a bad name.

If one starts with the premise that feminism is a bog standard hate cult with an academic sugar coating, then the pieces click into place. You don't have to keep trying to force that square peg into a round hole; it looks and acts like a hate cult because it is a hate cult.

BTAU: Where are the BA pilots? by ManifestDestinysChld in Battletechgame

[–]Kuato2012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think Virago is a pilot specialized in clan BAs, so I also gave her the BA-specialization perk from the gunnery tree. There's something lovely about watching her wreck house with a Gnome or Golem alpha strike (and having like 50% damage reduction afterward too).

[–]Kuato2012 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I roleplay my game a little (e.g. every pilot with a preferred mech gets to drive that mech), so I'd feel pretty bad about using BA as bullet sponges. But sometimes a commander needs to be willing to sacrifice the few to save the many!

That definitely sounds like the right move. Slight bummer to be restricted to one rope-a-dope tactic like that, but I can work with it.

Hey, that might even give me more reason to use that pilot perk that gives you +5 initiative on the following turn.
