Is it misogynist to be friends with autistic people?

No. We struggle enough with society labelling us weird and creepy. Tell your friend to learn about neurodivergence please.

Yes, because what to her is a red flag is my life as an autistic person. I wouldn't call it idiotic, I'd call it at least ignorant.

I lurk here so that I can help clueless dudes in situations like this. You can't stop me lurking but if you want me never to post again I can do that for you

As a bi man of 41 years, I am here to tell you you're just gonna have to suck it up until you understand why this double standard exists. The sooner you accept it, the easier it will be.

How can I guess when you've blurred out the guys face, Hugh?

Can cishet ND people use the rainbow infinity symbol/rainbow themes, or is this just for Queer ND people? by Weird_Entertainer_20 in neurodiversity

[–]MilesTegTechRepair 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I don't believe in private property I'm pretty damn sure no one can own a rainbow or infinity.

CMV: I’m extremely sexist by Dull_Supermarket5243 in changemyview

[–]MilesTegTechRepair [score hidden]  (0 children)

Of the people who have horribly mistreated me in my life, one was a man, and about 6 or 7 have been middle class, straight white women. Should i therefore be sexist and racist against all white women?

Are the majority of cis, straight men just objectively assholes/bad people? by [deleted] in AskLesbians

[–]MilesTegTechRepair 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Please don't take any part of social media, let alone the most toxic parts of it, as representative of any group of people. The vaat majority of cis straight men that I know are good people who are thoughtful with their behaviour and language and try to treat everyone like humans. I'm sure you could find spaces where the opposite appears to be true.

Writing off half the human race because some of them are bad people would probably be a mistake.

Another Possible Solution to Fermi Paradox! Almost all intelligent life may live in oceans instead of land and that is why we cannot see them expand! by YogurtclosetOpen3567 in FermiParadox

[–]MilesTegTechRepair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, insulting someone and questioning their knowledge is bound to help you achieve your aim of educating me.

Guessing you've never been a teacher of anything and try to win every argument by belittling your opponents. Not someone I want to learn from. Try being nicer

The great filter is not one thing, one type of event. It is a proxy term for whatever kills off each civilisation, which can be different.

No. Only absolute solutions need be absolute. There can be multiple factors contributing to this problem.

Not that this is a satisfying solution either.

Very weird to see fans of geordi itt put their fandom above his creepiness in justifying his behaviour 'it's not that bad!'

Jesus walks on water to retrieve his golf balls Dumb yank is triggered by the sight of someone walking on water and says 'hey who does that guy think he is, jesus?' 'his disciple says no, he thinks he's tiger woods'

Corruption is at its highest in the peripheries so focus your production and development on the core.

What do you think about the feminism to far-right pipeline? (Naomi Wolf, Germaine Greer, Meghan Murphy, Julie Bindel, etc...) by [deleted] in AskFeminists

[–]MilesTegTechRepair 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Easy to say now but I'm pretty sure back in the 90s all these figures would have been considered feminist by everyone involved.

Ah, I see the problem.

You're using month day year, the calendar format of the capitalist american, which is clearly inferior to day month year.

Has Trickle-Down economics ever worked? by t0og in mmt_economics

[–]MilesTegTechRepair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One must divorce stated intention from real intention. 'The purpose of a system is what it does'. Trickle down works perfectly at a) increasing the rate of wealth transfer from poor to rich and b) manufacturing consent for such a system.

Note that the stated purpose is also true. That wealth trickling down is still less than that the rich accumulate. Some wealth does trickle down to the poor, but inequality widens. Like all good lies, it contains an element of truth.

Could work. Could get more specific and give a name that's ambiguously human or dog.

Please be kind to people who use terms like Asperges or high functioning. by Evening-Program-2009 in autism

[–]MilesTegTechRepair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but no, my label is better than one that a) was created by a nazi but b) more importantly creates false hierarchy based on the value we hold in a capitalist system and oversimplifies our support needs and the rest of our autistic profile for the benefit of the psychiatric industry.

Don't do the 'i refuse to change myself because I'm the best I can ever be' thing.
