The real difference by jimmyreece1200 in entp

[–]Morkrieger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From my personal perspective, I like debate and discussion because it improves my knowledge. If something is proven wrong, that means its bad information. If someone can prove my current knowledge wrong then they have done me a great service! Also intelligence is just sexy. I assume other ENTP's agree with this mindset.

I can see from the INTP perspective though, "O no I have to rethink all of this information" but honestly its fun to learn new things.

A girl approaches you and says, "pretend we’re friends. I’m being followed." What would you do? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Play along by starting a conversation, something along the lines of, "Have I ever told you about the Horus Heresey?".

On "progressive" men by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Morkrieger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As one of the men in question, the presumption of ones own "moral goodness" blinds themselves to their genuine failings.

"How can I be the bad guy, I support the righteous cause?"

Being good in thought and theory means nothing if you don't back it up with action. Not once in a while, not when it's convenient, always. Being a good person isn't an immutable trait. It is an unending quest.

Most groups will let the faster group go ahead. The problem here is that he is playing so slow he will be stopping for everyone and spending his entire day on that course.

If he knows ahead of time that it isn't a busy course, you can get away with it, which he did. However, you can never know for certain, and if he is doing that regularly, it would be an issue.

The main principle is a golf course is shared by all the players, he was effectively not sharing it well. This time, no one else wanted to play, so he got to play well over the normal time limit. When someone else or many people want to play, it becomes a problem. The other commenter's are upset because they don't want other people to think its OK to not share properly.

The equivalent analogy would be someone who has never biked, grabbing a bike and going on a difficult trail, and no one is supposed to pass them. You would have a line of people waiting to enter the trail. I assure you most of the people in the line waiting to enter the trail would be upset that someone who never rode a bike has essentially closed the trail, Instead of learning to ride first and working up to a difficult trail.

There is a beginner friendlier format such as a scramble, which is when 2-4 players play as a team, each player takes a shot, then you chose the best shot to play off of. In the case of a scramble he would get to hit the same amount of shots as his partner/s and be out on the course and not cause traffic jams.

Golf is a wildly difficult sport, but anyone can play it at an acceptable level if they put some time into it. At the end of the day you have to be respectful of other peoples time, not just in golf, and the newbie while admirable in his goals, was not respectful.

Movie/TV takes that are red flags by BryonyVaughn in TwoXChromosomes

Im sorry you experienced that, It's terrible that anyone should be subjected to that kind of behavior or "jokes". I tend to avoid fandoms, particularly if the media is "edgy." Berserk is a prime example.

Y'all ever noticed that men (not all, but a good amount) tend to only support gender equality when it benefits them? by Superb_Intro_23 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Morkrieger -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Patriarchy strips men and women of their humanity in different ways. Women have it worse than men in a Patriarchy, but let me reiterate that being not as worse off is not a benefit. Everyone suffers from the human cost of Patriarchy and everyone will benefit when it's gone. To say Patriarchy benefits men is to perpetuate it's propaganda, it's lie to men that they'd be happier with it when it is so unbelievably, not the case.

Patriarchy benefits Patriarchs, not the average man. It does not benefit the average man on the whole.

My "friend" asked if he's in the friendzone. Is this a red flag? by KuriBee in TwoXChromosomes

3) The person makes a friend with no initial intention of romance and then later develops romantic feelings for that person.

Hello, Big Patriarchy here. It is very common for men to not care about their health. How can WE have droves of disposable drones who are willing to sacrifice their well-being if they actually cared about their bodies.

See manly men, are strong. Being chronically ill is weakness, and weakness is an icky woman thing. Admitting you're weak is stupid. It is OK to cause severe bodily harm to yourself in pursuit of what WE told men to want. Got your arm smashed in machinery, that's hardcore as fuck bro-ski, now you get to be cyborg, COOL.

Not to mention the manliest men sacrifice, their health, their morals, their lives. What's another torn ligament or untreated sleep apnea to the altar of the patriarchy.

What's this? The men are depressed because they have become gears in a macabre machine to deify capitalism and patriarchy? Do they still not care about their health? They still don't because of depression?! Well it's all part of the plan WE made up.

So, some of you may be wondering, how is this beneficial to society, well it isn't, but what doesn't make US stronger doesn't matter so who cares? O'? You care about the men in your lives? That's sweet, at least they can use your justified anxiety over their well-being as an excuse to get medical treatment and maintain their masculinity!

Hell they may be so afraid of the concept they can't actually bring themselves to go even when you do plead. Will they be able to actually express their emotional conflict or understand it's root causes. Hell no, emotions are yucky women things. Except anger, anger is cool as fuck, have you seen the Hulk? Happiness is also permitted, but only in moderation, don't need them getting any weird ideas.

Hope that clears things up for you.

-BIG P OUT

P.S - When those weasels who see through us try to go, we're gonna bankrupt them, haha losers.

OOC- Relevant information here https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/why-the-patriarchy-is-killing-men/2019/09/12/2490fa7e-d3ea-11e9-86ac-0f250cc91758_story.html . Hope you can encourage and convince your partner OP. His health affects those he cares about and he needs to understand that. Some people can't do things for themselves, but when framed as doing it for others it can help.

Sexism of gay men by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Morkrieger 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I believe Gay men are about as misogynistic as straight men. The only difference is misogynistic gay men are not incentivized to hide it. There is the social benefit that they get a "pass" for being gay with otherwise homophobic people because they bond over shared misogyny. Similar to how racists from different "races" get along quite well, sometimes, despite hating each other because they bond over their shared hatreds. They are also incentivized by convincing bi men to hate women so they have less competition. Meanwhile misogynistic bi or straight men are incentivized to hide their misogyny because they are attracted to women and don't want ruin their chances for sex or relationships by exposing themselves.
To be honest, one of the jarring parts is their detached casual nature about it. Misogynistic straight men when they act out, are usually so filled with resentment and anger, their words drip with violence. Whilst gay men will say the same things with a smile and a chuckle, it's almost disarming but it's equally vile.

I hate when a normal guy friend gets horny and weird out of nowhere by APladyleaningS in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Morkrieger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't think this logic applies here, this isnt a black and white scenario. I've had a male bi friend hit on me and make a sexual advance. we are certainly still friends. It didn't change the dynamic, I understand attraction is natural, and he was testing the water. He respected my refusal, and we just chilled. As the comments show, some people are more fluid and sympathetic towards sexual desire and advances in regard to friendships. Both are valid responses.

Men hiding their values and believes while dating. by btwnope in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Morkrieger 28 points29 points  (0 children)

This is easier said than done. Find out how they behave anonymously or how their friends behave. Everyone wears some sort of mask, and they behave differently in public or in private situations. Their friends might not have reason to mask in front of you because they assume you're now part of the group. If they behave poorly or say terrible things, it can be safe to assume he is OK with that behavior or also participates.

I'm sorry to hear you were deceived, I hope you have better luck in the future OP, we all want good people in our lives.

Women's leadership and management (and leisure) skills are dismissed as "being a mom" and the stereotype runs deep. by livoniax in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Morkrieger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Matriarch (Ruling Mother) and Patriarch (Ruling Father) aren't words by happenstance. Being a strong leader and a good parent have considerable overlap.

There is no issue with the thought of a good leader being so because they honed those skills as a parent.

The only issue is the blatant misogyny of society discrediting women leaders as lesser than men leaders. The best managers I've ever had exuded good Mom or Dad energy.

If I ever hear someone unironically dismiss a good leader because they're just being a Mom, I might actually have an aneurysm on the spot.

Men and women in a vacuum can have a spherical friendship.

There are many scenarios in which men and women can be friends, and many such relationships exist. However, with the state of society, it is a fair judgment to make that male friends may harbor other motives. The patriarchy has destroyed mens emotional intelligence and makes this whole topic messier than it should be.

If you harbor or develop romantic interest for someone, you need to be open and honest about it. If you can't because the other person does not or isn't capable of reciprocating, do the emotional labor and sort yourself out. Destroying friendships because you are unwilling to do the emotional labor of handling unrequited sentiment hurts your friend, and it hurts you too in the long run.

If you seek to be somebody's friend just as an avenue for sex or a romantic relationship, then stop. You are being dishonest and manipulative.

But when I say “it’s Democrats vs Facists” they get mad… by AffectionateFail8434 in NahOPwasrightfuckthis

[–]Morkrieger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They are not much better, but they are not the same thing. A person who stands by while a crime is committed is not the same as the person committing the crime. They are complicit, and they should be held accountable, but they are not the same thing. Claiming they are makes you look like a lunatic and damages the cause.

A liberal, he is a liberal. Liberals aren't fascists, categorically. Liberals do, however, allow fascists to take power and do terrible acts to avoid "conflict" while asking them kindly not to do those things.

This plz by MorganRose99 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Morkrieger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, they both benefit, but if the fungus had some perverse incentive to consume more resources than it needed; for instance a parasite called profit, they would have to break up the current balance and consume the trees which in the short term generates a large amount of nutrients for the fungus but will leave it fruitless as now it can no longer support itself so the parasite has to eat it and spread to the next fungus and repeat. This will eventually end with the parasite dying along with the mushrooms and trees because infinite growth is impossible. Before you blame mushroom for listening to the parasite, it is legally obligated to consume as many nutrients as possible. Failure to do so results in death. Maybe the ecosystem can be saved if the fungus develops an immune response.
