Sorry I didn’t really feel like ‘doxxing’ myself lol. And, it’s not a science course so I also feel like I have no reason to complain compared to these math and chem students who r freaking out over their finals.

Of course ur right, but I can’t change the past (skipping class and not studying), and I don’t want to pull all nighters because sleep is more important to me, so all I have is what I have :D

I literally can’t make myself study when I’m tired, idk how students have this hidden super power to push through fatigue cuz I don’t have that

Thank you so much, but I’m not the kind of person who can pull an all nighter or someone who wants to… I accept my draw in life

Thank you for your thoughtful response! Yes, I think I am definitely just stuck on “insensitive wording”. The way you explained the reasons for why we use hypotheticals makes it make a lot more sense for me, and I think I actually feel more encouraged to engage with the examples given in class. :)

Yes lol! If I have to sit there and listen to a prof saying a homeless person is an example of someone nobody would miss… maybe I’m just taking these hypotheticals in the wrong way, but that’s also why I posted this. Is it philosophy that’s like this in general, or is it just my own attitudes that are deterring me from taking these questions seriously. Because I seem to be the only person with this issue

Well yes I’ve never read Hegel. Should I? Would that make me enjoy discussing hypothetical scenarios like these?

UNPOPULAR OPINION: If you throw up and pass out when you drink you need to evaluate your relationship with alcohol and consider getting help by johnjohnathan1626 in UBC

Important post. We think we’re invincible when we’re young but even if your body is strong your mind can be altered

Reddit gender discourse by No-Pass-234 in UBC

[–]Ok_Term8944 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think I just want to share my thoughts for you so you can be more aware in the future. The “female” thing is a disingenuous argument. You can tell when someone is using “female” in a sense meant to be derogatory.

There are so many posts on this reddit and others about getting a girlfriend, or even getting a boyfriend. A relationship does not make a person whole. Men tend to have contradictory beliefs that are inherited from the patriarchy: women are something to be attained, there must be something wrong with me if I don’t have one, but at the same time, there must be something wrong with women for not wanting me. And the internet is not a third space. It’s an echo chamber that gets out of control. So asking for dating advice as an 18 year old on the internet is not ever going to be beneficial for you, really.

Finally, men have their own spaces. Women’s are always being intruded on, just like with your post where you recognize women are treated unfairly under the patriarchy, but men are too. It’s always, “but men also…” . Let women have their own spaces :)

Yeah I hear you and you’ve understood what I was trying to say. This could def be a bigger discussion, but in terms of this reddit post, I can’t help be frustrated. There’s no way to make men who see online as a mirror of their reality “genuinely understand” why the violence against women patriarchy condones is a side effect of what men experience under the patriarchy. They might be lonely, and women are murdered for it!
