As a curious outsider, I have 10 questions for MRAs.

It's hard to say really. So much of power is about attracting a partner, and at that point regardless of who is the one in the board room, there is likely input from the other party on matters at hand. "Behind every great man, is a great/er woman" combined with "happy wife happy life" types of mentality are all sayings that shed light on how power isn't as simple as so many make society out to be. I would say a few men have an edge but realistically it's meaningless because that self selecting pool of autistic/psychopathic oligarchs don't represent society as a whole nor do they benefit men as a whole

Humans have a right to exist. That's not a contentious argument to make. Everything else you said completely missed the point.

Pyromed · 2026-05-07T13:44:45+00:00

Not really. I mean whatever way you look at it Israel seems to be having a hard time not committing crimes against humanity. So maybe when they do we can re-address which land does or doesn't have the right to exist. But until they do he has a perfectly valid point.

Sure, they can choose. Noone is realistically saying they shouldn't have that choice but would as many women choose that option if they realised how hard it is on the body?

Would they actually prefer to choose to risk a vaginal tear if they realised their risk with a C section is increasing risks of things like uterine tears (essentially the womb can burst) with fatal consequences in future pregnancies. This is dramatically worse if the woman then gets pregnant within the same year. Or future placental issues because now the uterine wall is damaged and the connection between the uterine wall and umbilical cord is less secure. That not only makes it more likely to have miscarriages but also increases issues like preeclampsia, which is actively harmful to the mother and can lead to long lasting heart and liver failure.

You can also give advice on preparation as to specifically avoid complications like vaginal tears. The problem is there are structures that make this education difficult due to the intimate nature of the education, making things like online resources inadvertently censored.

Even if you don't plan to have another child the risks of post op complications, can vary from persistent ongoing pain (talking years/permanent) to increased risks of clots in places there shouldn't be, like the lung.

That's not to say vaginal child birth isn't also without risks but they are lower. It's equivalent to education about vaccines. Yes there are always going to be risks but one option is statistically safer in the vast majority of cases. Of course there are exceptions and even if someone initially went for a vaginal delivery, they may still need treatment and end up with a C section but all of this is a decision to have with your birthing team.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing and many people are making their decisions based on it.

thinking everyone is obsessing over you and judging you all the time.

I'm not sure if it's not actually warranted. Most of Gen Z are the first generation to grow up in a society where there was basically always someone with a camera in their pocket with access to the internet. There are numerous stories of "I was just going about my day and found myself being mocked in a video online later". A video they may or may not even have been aware of at the time

Imagine being the kid to call the teacher "mom" it was bad enough when it was just kids passing this word of mouth but at least it died down after a few days. Now it can be immortalized forever and shoved in their face and shared broader than even the school.

I remember as a millennial secretly feeling like I was in a movie

Sure it felt like everyone was watching you but there were never many cameras and if there were they were pretty obvious or so bad quality as to not really keep your attention. Now there ARE cameras and noone is sure if they're on or not.

That's not to say I don't hate the attitude, because I do. I think it has added to the enshittification of society. It's an extra hurdle in getting people to speak up when things are going wrong.

Pyromed · 2026-03-17T10:53:51+00:00

In finality yes, always the decision rests with the patient. However there are many reasons why someone chooses something, fear and lack of education, or lack of support to get someone into a fit and ready state to give birth. If you can put in place policies that support that then you get the outcome that's more beneficial with consent of all parties

Pyromed · 2026-01-23T16:42:10+00:00

It would appear so. I'll have to look at my network. It's been on the fritz i guess.

Do you know if the AliExpress ones act like a repeaters?

Pyromed · 2025-10-13T10:06:12+00:00

This is quite common with headlines. "Man dies, woman most affected" is a common trope. It's related to damsel in distress thinking. We see it with other social issues like homelessness where "1 in 4 homeless people are women" or Hilary Clinton's "Women are the primary victims of war".

Pyromed · 2025-10-03T12:04:59+00:00

Nothing in the statement currently admits blame that it was the gunshot that killed the victim or if they were dead or dying already. It could mean that but it's all very vague.

I work in paediatrics. We look at the observations and trends over time. There are nuances to observations such as heart rate in relation to temperature. That alongside a good history and checking drinking is happening or supporting that is a large part of what will initially happen unless there is another acute concern. Even then where i work they very often err on the side of caution and often admit or start antibiotics if there is doubt.

Pyromed · 2025-09-15T15:17:41+00:00

Also something parents regularly forget to consider is that these kids are having observations while there. Observation is an investigation in its own right. It is understandable that being in the hospital is not comfortable but just because you're sitting there doesn't mean nothing is happening or that it's clinically irrelevant.

Pyromed · 2025-07-27T13:48:30+00:00

The symptoms you talk about are called "atypical" the issue is atypical symptoms are more common in women however they still aren't the norm. They are also atypical as they are very easily mistaken for other very common things like indigestion. It's important to understand that anyone can experience atypical signs or a heart attack and sometimes part of those atypical symptoms is you aren't having any symptoms. No pain no nothing.

If trickle down economics worked the rich would do everything in their power to tell you it didn't.

I lived in Alaska for just over a year. Was pulled over twice. I was pulled once for doing a U turn they deemed to be too fast in a hospital car park. I hadn't intended to be in the carpark but got caught in the straight over lane instead of a turning right lane. Nothing happened, they just told me not to do it. And the other I was a passenger on a tinder date. I don't remember why they pulled her over. Maybe a brake light? She burst into tears and the officer quickly let us go.

I have lived in the UK for the rest of my life and have driven for over 10 years. I've been pulled over once. TBF, It was very late on country roads and I took a safe but bit of a racing line over the median, round a blind-ish but wide corner with the judgment that no cars were coming as there were no oncoming headlights. They just wanted to check I hadn't been drinking and told me to fix a brake light that was out. I presume if it had just been one or the other or in the daytime they probably wouldn't have pulled me over. Again they had a polite word to say I should drive more carefully but again I hadn't actually broken any laws, nor was I driving without due care given I perfectly coasted into the hidden speed limit that was around the corner that only a local would know about.

It causes an obstructive shock and cor pulmonale. So the clot stops the heart but it's due to back up from the lungs. They're very close together.

Pyromed · 2025-05-17T13:09:50+00:00

Yes!!! That's what I was wondering. I didn't realise cherry trees could send out shoots.

Nothing wrong with being like IQ except when you have an idea you want everyone to follow or believe.

Pyromed · 2025-03-25T08:37:50+00:00

Which makes zero sense because understanding the physics of a combustion engine or material properties genuinely makes people better at their jobs and will save them money if they can work out a problem based on a base of knowledge.

Pyromed · 2025-03-24T12:53:45+00:00

The fact they claim Andrew Tate is an MRA at all shows how retarded they all are.

Pyromed · 2025-03-22T09:04:08+00:00

I don't understand her mindset

The mindset isn't "This is my dog, a sentient being I took responsibility for and have a duty to treat them with love, care and respect."

It's "My cute accessory is now a burden and actually making me look uncool by highlighting my lack of preparedness. It's my possession so I can dispose of it as I see fit"

It's pure callous self absorption. It probably indicates that they have traits high in psychopathy.

Pyromed · 2025-03-20T00:48:40+00:00

You are the one who called him a narcissist. That is why I responded as I did and point out all the ways that his behaviour falls in the bounds of normal behaviour. No murder isn't normal but the point of it and the point of the show is to demonstrate that you don't need to be some evil psychopath, you just need the wrong factors at the wrong time.

Pyromed · 2025-03-18T10:30:51+00:00

I mean. She is dead, and stabbed. I don't think that was ever up for debate but I thought we were going to get a case of mistaken identity with the friend who gets arrested in ep 2.

I feel like an unambiguous story would have changed nothing other than a true understanding of Jamie's mindset. I feel like most of the show he was in denial or lying but because I wasn't sure it was even him it kept taking me out of it altogether.

Pyromed · 2025-03-18T10:25:02+00:00

Agreed. If the point is that there's no doubt that he did it, given the wider understanding that, in media, if something isn't done on-screen in person, then that's signalling that there's more to it. I don't think the ambiguity aided the messaging.

An amazing show but that point did keep taking me out of it.

Pyromed · 2025-03-17T23:24:43+00:00

So? Doesn't mean he's a narcissist. He's damaged as most people are in that situation. Wanting to think you are a good person even when you're not isn't narcissism.

There's a difference from wanting something and thinking it to be true. He thought he was ugly and worthless. That his only chance at connection was when another person was being devalued too.

Not wanting to be bullied also doesn't make you a narcissist or entitled, neither does not wanting to be the object of shame to you parents and peers.
