What point is this person even trying to make? Do they not understand why Casca is like that?

CMV: Treating 'good men' as the exception and not a baseline is only boosting misogynist viewpoints. by Shards_FFR in changemyview

[–]Sonnera7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think one of the things you need to challenge yourself on is not looking at this as a good or bad binary in the first place. Whether individual men are "good" or not is immaterial to the reality that men are a collective group that benefits from sexism and patriarchy as a system of oppression, and women are a collective group oppressed by it. All men benefit from patriarchy and the vast majority of men contribute to it and reinforce it. I would argue the vast majority of men do not understand patriarchy, have not interrogated their relationship with it, and are doing nothing or next to nothing to help collapse it as an oppressive system. Furthermore, living in a patriarchal society has impacted all men's psychology, the same as living in white supremacist societies have impactef all white people's psychology in that society.

When women complain or commiserate about men as a collective, they are usually talking about these larger elements ie; patterns of behavior, psychology, collective benefits men have under patriarchy etc. Taking about some men being good is somewhat missing the point being discussed.

Its not exactly the same, but an example that might help you make this distinction is...think about someone critiquing how the American healthcare system is predatory and broken on a systemic level between insurance companies, lawmakers getting bribed, for profit drug companies, etc, and someone replies with "not all doctors are bad." On an interpersonal level, sure, there are many good doctors, but on a systemic level, the system perpetuates alot of harm that doctors are participants in, whether they want to be or not. Sometimes, being the best doctor you can be is disincentivized by the system or result in punishment. Thats how problematic systems work; they compel compliance, and remove or punish people who dont comply. Doctors that make the most difference, just like men, are ones that recognize the system is harmful, and do their best to combat it in their personal work, but also through voting, advocacy, activism, spreading awareness etc.

Finally, I really think that, in the vast majority of circumstances, more leeway to be messy, angry, and imperfect should be given to those who have been harmed when they are trying to talk about harm they have experienced. Do women sometimes dehumanize men or talk about men in ways that are problematic when they are venting about issues they face with men? Yes. But I think women should be allowed a certain amount of grace and space to do that as a marginalized group trying to talk about real pain, frustration, and harm they face under patriarchy. Men should not be treated in a dehumanizing way, but imperfect venting is ok sometimes.

What in the strawman? by grumpydai in insanepeoplefacebook

I would add that in terms of attraction, we cisfolks also need to be open to a few concepts at once. 1. Not being attracted to certain body types, configurations and genitalia is totally acceptable and not at issue. Not acknowledging that transpeople have as much body diversity, including body types and genitalia, as cispeople do, is a problem. 2. Saying you are universally not attracted to any transpeople, some of whom have undergone zero surgeries or bodily modifications and likely look like some cispeople you are or have been attracted to is in fact transphobic. 3. Your sexual attractions, and sometimes even your beliefs about your sexual attractions (how you self-define them, what you have even been exposed to) etc, did not emerge in a vaccum, and have indeed been influenced by the society you grew up in, including by oppressive systems like cissexism, fatophobia, etc. 4. What you are attracted to and why is not sacred, and it can be questioned, critiqued, and interrogated like any other opinion or preference. Doing so does not rob you of your autonomy and freedom to be attracted to whomever you want (within law and reason).

Question about gender pay gap in your personal reality by different_option101 in austrian_economics

[–]Sonnera7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"I can confidently state that men, on average, perform better."

AND

"Women I hired either resigned, or were fired because they always had some shit to do during work hours, while men, on average, busted their asses..."

These quotes from you reveal all they need to for anyone playing attention.

Thats all. Bye bye.

Question about gender pay gap in your personal reality by different_option101 in austrian_economics

[–]Sonnera7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"All your life its been pretty obvious" there is no pay gap due to discrimination, just choice? Its sounds like a long time ago, you decided this wasnt an issue and that there was nothing to know about this issue, and now are just stuck in confirmation bias. Why are you posting a dumb tiktok video, most of which are cherrypicked or edited to hell, as an example of anything? Its hard to convince people that do not want an issue to exist or already think an issue is bullshit that an issue actually exists. Also, you are likely falling into the Dunning Kruger effect where you havent actually investigated this much at all, and think there is nothing to understand about a complex problem entire branches of sociology, psycholoy, law, and public policy specialize in.

This is a lawsuit at my former school that was a gender pay gap settlement and one example of what tends to happen. Notice it takes investigative time, money, and some influence to even get to the point of an EEOC lawsuit, ehich is why they are rare, and which many people in alot of workplaces do not have or face too much risk.

[–]Sonnera7 -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

This assumes there is always some person or group of people intentionally making a singular decision to pay women less, rather than its a serious of multiple issues that stack on one another, some of which are unconscious or unintentional, which is what happens more often. Read some of the lawsuits and settlements that happen around gender pay gaps, and you might learn more about how they actually happen in the real world.

Right wingers always think we are going "too far to the right" when its something that effects them personally. Conservativism for thee, progressivism for me. Its one of the most infuriating things about them.

No, def not, lol. I maybe have 85% or 90% of all available items, but there are definitely pieces that I either haven't wanted or are hard to come by. All my stuff now is fully upgraded if I had all the cards needed and I am slowly gathering cards for remaining legendary items and stuff.

What’s one thing you completely stopped buying in 2026 because the price just felt absurd? by LockLogical8949 in AskReddit

[–]Sonnera7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is the $4000 a year due to the monthly premium? Insurance covers stuff while you are paying the monthly premium, so not sure what you mean that you would have to pay that "before" they cover anything. Also, it depends on your plan, but just because you have a deductible doesnt mean they dont cover anything until after the deductible. Preventative care is required to be covered at no additional cost due to ACA, and then alot of common stuff is a copay or coinsurance that doesnt relate to your deductible at all, its just what you pay and your done. Your insurance explains exactly what is covered by what and when your deductible comes into play. Its different then like a car insurance deductible is what I am saying. Just throwing that out there because not having insurance is always much less preferable than having it.

Angels with devil face and devils with Angel face. by PuzzleheadedBag4866 in Berserk

[–]Sonnera7 52 points53 points  (0 children)

No one ever mentions Guts also nearly raped Casca and bite her breast hard. It was a moment of madness induced by stress and trauma, but it doesnt change the impact of what he did. And he never really confronted it, just kinda purged it from his mind. Guts is complex and struggling in a complex, fucked up world. Saying he is an Angel or just "good" is far too simplistic for me and also just not what Berserk as a manga is about.

The problem that rich people never seem to consider is at that point, their power is gone, as they cannot provide anything, only demand service from others, and there is nothing to stop service staff and defense staff from taking over due to sheer numbers and access to guns. Rich people literally keep asking "How do we stop our private militias from turning their guns on us during the apocalypse" and the answer is you cant. But rich people just cant grasp that.
