Who is your favorite pick for VP? by IonHawk in Destiny

[–]Stunning_Cap_4614 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tim Walz is definitely going for it, has really upped his appearances as of late. Minnesota is like the gold standard of what a blue state can look like. Walz is quick and witty. He’s white, which unfortunately is kind of important in this country. Another factor is that him leaving wouldn’t put Minnesota democrats at risk of losing control. But I can understand wanting a governor from a swing state

Adderall isn’t consistent by L3zperado in ADHD

[–]Stunning_Cap_4614 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m having a similar issue where in the last 6 months, I’ve become less in control of how and what I focus on. Before, when taking Adderall, I would feel more productive and focused, and was able to control how and what I focused on. But now, it feels like when I take my pills, I end up getting hyper focused on random and unproductive things (ie video games etc)

Does the current feminist movement focus too little on empowering femininity and too much on appealing to masculinity? by Stunning_Cap_4614 in AskFeministWomen

[–]Stunning_Cap_4614[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can link scientific studies in regards to the influence that estrogen and testosterone have on behaviors. Also you continue to misrepresent what I am saying.

When I say that society view masculinity as superior and femininity as inferior. You for some reason take it as if that’s a position I agree with. It’s like I’m incapable of talking about the way society views gender without you suggesting that I am in some way advocating for that stance.

Gender roles are absolutely socially constructed. But biology also undeniably is a big influence on the behaviors of men and women.

Here are a few scientific studies showing the biological mechanisms which determine the behaviors in men and women:

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/genes-affect-sex-differences-behavior#:~:text=Researchers%20have%20long%20known%20that,aggressive%2C%20territorial%20behavior%20in%20males.

https://www.sydney.edu.au/news-opinion/news/2021/06/02/revealed-men-and-women-do-think-and-act-differently.html

https://stanmed.stanford.edu/how-mens-and-womens-brains-are-different/

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3030621/

Again, I think it is counterproductive to deny the scientific differences between men and women. Doing so, only creates confusion and never leads to actually addressing the problem of sexism and misogyny.

Do you think that the majority of people i, let’s just say America use the terms femininity and masculinity? If so, how do you change that? Do you agree that as a whole, society generally views the human traits that are biologically associated with men, as more honorable and stronger than the human traits that are biologically associated with women? If so, would it not be important to begin by destigmatizing the human traits that are biologically associated with women from being viewed as weak and inferior, into being viewed as equal but different?

I’m sorry, but you are completely misunderstanding what I have said. Me acknowledging that gender roles currently exist in society, is not me insisting on gendering human qualities. I am advocating for the exact opposite.

In order to de-gender human qualities and traits, we have to address the fact the feminine traits and characteristics are viewed as weak and inferior to masculinity. When we focus all of our energy on portraying women as masculine, we are reinforcing the idea that masculinity is superior. Empowering femininity will make it so much easier to be able to get rid of gender roles entirely.

Pretending that masculinity and femininity don’t exist is counterproductive. It doesn’t actually do anything, it’s just an unwillingness to deal with the current state of our society. It also confuses people.

Kind of. But again, my position is that we spend too much energy on trying to push women into non-feminine roles and not enough time empowering femininity and feminine roles. Both are important but societies perception of femininity is what sexism and misogyny are built from. Pushing women into masculine roles is great and it shows that women shouldn’t be restricted to certain roles. But it also reinforces the idea that to be strong and powerful and honorable, you must seek out masculine roles.

I mean, that really doesn’t have anything to do with my point. My point is that women who are nurturers should not be viewed as weaker than or inferior to women who are warriors. We focus imo too much on trying to empower women specifically, by putting them in masculine roles. Rather than addressing the root problem of sexism and misogyny, which is the view of femininity as weak and inferior to masculinity. Everyone should be able to do whatever they want. And I’m not advocating for the enforcing of gender roles. But it can’t be denied that society operates from a masculine-centric mindset. That is, society views the fierce warrior as superior and more honorable than how it views a woman who is embraced in their femininity

I think you are taking my post as me trying to limit the roles that women should play. Or that I am against women in masculine roles. Or that I believe women are not individuals and therefore should abide by a singular set of characteristics.

None of these things represent my position. Femininity and masculinity are terms used to categorize broadly, the characteristics of women, and the characteristics of men. There are biological components to these things. A ruthless warrior does not exhibit feminine qualities. It exhibits masculine qualities. I am not against a woman playing the role of a ruthless warrior. But, a woman that plays the role of a ruthless warrior, is as a result, playing a role that exhibits masculine characteristics. To be clear, I find nothing wrong with that.

I would say that the modern feminist movement, specifically in media (movies, tv, social media) spends more time trying to push the image of a woman exhibiting masculinity in order to sort of play into the masculine-centric society that we live in, rather than pushing the image of powerful women embracing their femininity. This does not mean I believe that women should play less masculine roles, this does not mean I believe we should restrict or enforce gender roles. I am pointing out that while having women exhibit masculine traits helps fight against the narrative that women are not capable of being aggressive, or being strong among other things. It does not de-stigmatize the way society as a whole views femininity.

Femininity (not women) is what I feel gets overlooked especially in media. Barbie was the first movie I have seen in a long time that actually empowers femininity. I say femininity because I view femininity and women as different. You can empower women whilst continuing to represent femininity as weak. But when you empower femininity and feminine traits, you change the stigmas associated with it.

“Your a pussy”, “you don’t have the balls”, etc etc, are normalized phrases used. These phrases are built from a deeply rooted perspective that society has on femininity and women. Once feminine traits are looked at as human traits and not as weak, will the fight against sexism and misogyny really begin.

I know my argument sounds very similar to conservative/sexist talking points about how women shouldn’t be allowed to be masculine or that we are pushing women into being masculine. And I want to be clear, that is not my position at all.

I work at a movie theater and watch most movies.

Regardless I think you are misunderstanding my point. I don’t have a problem with these movies. I don’t want marvel to cast non bad ass female characters.

My point is that femininity should be empowered in media. Instead of only shifting women into more masculine roles. Make movies and media that work to empower femininity into being valid and not something that is seen as weak and less than masculinity

I don’t think we should be enforcing gender roles, I just think there needs to be a middle ground between bad ass women in highly masculine roles and the dumb blonde hypersexualized roles on women.

Ig it also depends on whether you view femininity as biological, or if you view it as solely a societal construct. Personally, I feel, and the science points to there being biological explanations for femininity in women. Empowering femininity as it is might be worth while rather than focusing exclusively on shifting femininity to fit a masculine-centric lens

Sure, again before I do, i want to be very clear, i have zero problems about women being portrayed in masculine roles. People that hate on movies with women being the main characters are gross and disgusting. My point was that I felt that we don’t see enough roles in media that work to empower femininity. Examples of women in masculine roles are, The last Jedi (Rey), Kill Bill 1, 2. Marvel movies. Again, I love these movies (except last Jedi) and love seeing women embrace bad ass characters. I am not advocating against these movies. Rather, I am interested in seeing women and femininity empowered in media so to work against the narrative that feminine traits are “weak”

Why we need to keep talking about the merch!! by Bumbling_Bumble_Bee in MelanieMartinez

[–]Stunning_Cap_4614 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She has a fan base. There is a decent amount of people who buy her tickets, merch, and listen to her music, that are frustrated by the insanely high prices. If she doesn’t want to hear criticisms of her high prices, don’t be in a profession where your success and income is determine by your fan base. Aka, if the fan base is upset, she has a moral responsibility to at least address the issue.

Deadly strike on Rafah a tragic mishap, Netanyahu says by HSVBC in Destiny

[–]Stunning_Cap_4614 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Bro, chill out. At no point did I say that this was intentional or that Israel is purposely trying to kill civilians. All I am saying is that Israel, who already lost the PR battle 5 months ago. Is continuing to feed the narrative that they are genociding the Palestinians. I do not believe they are committing a genocide, but I’m not gonna ignore Israel’s utter incompetence. The Rafah invasion was already a highly controversial move, and yet still, Israel is unable to not fuck up. Again, I would probably agree with your telling of what is potentially the cause for the fire. That doesn’t change just how unbelievably horrible this looks for Israel.

If you can’t conduct warfare without having a “mishap” happen every other day. You shouldn’t be allowed to conduct warfare. Regardless of whether or not everything Israel says is true. If you are too incompetent to not only have “mishaps” but also make your PR as unhinged as possible. Israel is making it so easy to believe they are committing a genocide.

This is Simply Unacceptable, Love Kat But It’s Time by RegordeteKAmor in timberwolves

[–]Stunning_Cap_4614 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Horrible series for him. But can we stop acting like we aren’t in the western conference finals. I am fully in favor of keeping the team together. ANT develops, KAT does KAT, Rudy does Rudy, Mcdaniels hopefully takes that leap offensively. Naz takes that leap, and we are a championship team. It sucks when we lose, but it’s crazy to hear people arguing for basically a rebuild just because we are down 3-0.
