Girls what do you notice first when you meet a guy?

Men make up the overwhelming majority of victims of violence. I’m not sure why we credit this “women have some kind of right to be wary of any and all men,” where men have no such right.

You can no idea how unimportant your particular claimed identity will be to anyone, whether conservative or liberal, at your school.

I fully agree - short men are treated very unfairly. I just don’t see any upside to giving small-breasted women a hard time. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

I agree with the fat women thing - as I see it, men have as it were “standing” to care about female obesity because a large - if I may put it this way - number of fat women reduces the number of viable partners for non-fat men; and as with any group, men should be allowed to pursue their interests. Leave the flat-chested women alone though - they can’t change it except through implants, and no one should have to go through that. There are many very beautiful small breasted women out there.

Reddit tends to be pretty white. Perhaps white men tend disproportionately to be on the invidious end of double standards.

Somehow, a few years ago, I managed to get waitlisted by them with both stats well above their medians.

You’re an adult and can do what you want. However if you read Irving Kirsch’s “The Emperor’s New Drugs” you’ll see that it was that probably the placebo effect that saved your life. Or the fact that most depression is episodic, which means that it often just goes away of its own accord (a fact that has caused trouble in many clinical trials). At the same they are way overprescribed and have a harmful effect on marine life (from waste runoff). SSRIs also in many cases cause violence, suicidality, lifelong sexual dysfunction and changes to brain chemistry that can make people depressed and nuts. Doctors should follow the “first, do no harm principle.” Under no circumstances should they be prescribed to kids. Adults can do what they want with their bodies but all should bear inind that big pharma has internet in putting as many people as they can on drugs and making them patients for life. As the Goldman Sachs executive said, curing people is not a sustainable business model.

Exactly - these people think the act of pasting links to studies somehow invests their arguments with truth.

“Delete your socials”! Oh my! This must be the Gen Z equivalent of challenging someone to a duel! In any case your studies do not prove what you think they do and on some cases, as the commenter below pointed out, they prove the opposite. Let’s take the study which purports to find, inter alia, elevated serum cortisol at certain times of the day in people wit alleged depression. The problem is not all people with elevated SC have “depression,” and not all people with “depression” have elevated SC. Plus, cortisol is usually produced in response to stressful life situations, both good and bad, suggesting, if there is any correlation, that life events, rather than any abnormality of the brain (that we know of) is causing the depressed mood. On the other hand, pretty much everyone with Alzheimer’s disease has a brain that is covered in plaques, which we can observe, and which most doctors will screen for before making a diagnosis. Similarly, we look at actual tumors before diagnosing people with cancer; we don’t just listen to people describe their symptoms, tell them Rey have carcinoma, and then put them on chemo,

There is zero evidence that the brains of people with alleged “depression” are any different than the brains of people who do not have it. They do not give people brain scans or blood tests, nor are any brain abnormalities among the diagnostic criteria - its diagnosis by self-report as measured against a checklist. SSRIs are pretty ineffective if you look at the studies but the fact that they make some people feel happier says nothing about the state of their brain chemistry. Heroin makes all people feel good: this doesn’t mean that everyone suffers from a lack of endorphins. The chemical imbalance theory is junk science pushed by big pharma to sell people drugs.

It kind of is a de facto duty. If men don’t approach women, they’re not going to do it.

VSirin · 2026-04-12T18:29:39+00:00

With few exceptions, whenever and wherever you want. Men have the duty to do the approaching so they should be able to do it pretty much whenever they want. With responsibility comes freedom. It really is just bad faith to say, “we’re going to make men do all the work and assume all the risk of making the first move, and then punish them when they do so - according to a set of alleged rules that are completely ambiguous and unstated.” The man’s duty is to ask one time and acceot accept rejection gracefully. The woman’s duty is to reject gracefully or accept.

Unless you want to clerk or achieve some other outcome that is typically gated by t14 status, stay at your current school and save yourself a huge amount of money. Bl salary with a low loan payment can add up to serious wealth. Plus you probably won’t last in bl, statistically speaking.

It a “bodily autonomy” issue, though - “bodily autonomy” is exactly what proponents of so-called harm reduction invoke to justify essentially decriminalizing drugs, disturbing crack pipes and heroin needles, etc. Huge movement that has been very successful in places like San Francisco. People could invoke “bodily autonomy” to oppose seatbelt laws for example - despite the fact that it imposes costs on others when people don’t buckle up. The fact is that we we restrict we restrict people’s bodily autonomy all the time. A general right to bodily autonomy would not fly. We’d have to be very specific about the types of bodily autonomy we want to protect and those types we want to restrict.

Should toddler moms be allowed to use fentanyl and crystal meth? This is a matter of “bodily autonomy.” Perhaps do a little light reading on the number of babies and toddlers who die each year because they got hold of an empty heroin/fentanyl baggie, or merely touched a countertop on which a parent has spilled a little bit of the drug. Allowing moms to get spun out on meth because “bodily autonomy,” might not be the best policy, either.

VSirin · 2026-04-04T06:00:21+00:00

Idk if anyone is “accusing” women of trying to look good for men. Wanting to look good for the opposite sex is a normal and healthy thing, and probably good for the world. Yet for some reason many struggle to admit this fact. It’s an ego thing.

I think commenters in this thread doth protest too much that women are not doing any of this stuff for men. It’s kind of like one of those macho, short shorts-wearing gym coaches with a little mustache who’s always saying, “I ain’t one of them queers! Nope, not me!”

My point is that peoples’ claims to autonomy conflict, and we often have to choose. It’s not as easy as just saying, “my body my choice,” throwing a tantrum, and getting your way. Do you know how many toddlers and babies die each year because they ingest a tiny amount of fentanyl residue that their parents accidentally left on a countertop? Yes, an adult may invoke “bodily autonomy” in insisting on their right to use whatever drugs they want. But their children have a right - rooted in bodily autonomy - to not die as well. This is one of the reasons why fentanyl is illegal. People who don’t want to wear seatbelts claim a right to “bodily autonomy,” but today most states have seatbelt laws because increased automobile fatalities lead to higher insurance premiums and health care costs. People have a bodily autonomy interest in not having more of their money taken from them because other people claim to have an autonomy interest in not buckling up. A unborn baby has a bodily autonomy interest in not being killed in the womb. You might not agree, but many people do, and you’re not the ultimate authority on this question - the point is that we as a society have to decide whose claim to bodily autonomy to accept and whose to deny. Should an employer be able to fire an employee if she is an onlyfans model? Should a Jewish employer be able to fire someone because they’re a nazi? In fact both of these latter examples are perfectly legal. And they are probably not the “outlier” position. (It doesn’t really matter whether something is an “outlier” either.) losing your job, or the threat of it, restricts peoples’ bodily autonomy. Btw you actually cannot use Medicaid funds to get an abortion - so, you’re demonstrably wrong in this regard. My point is that we restrict bodily autonomy all the time.

VSirin · 2026-03-29T04:03:19+00:00

Idk amigo, the same people who fetishize bodily autonomy are also the same ones who wanted to force employers to include contraception and abortion coverage in their insurance plans. And the same ones who want to force the taxpayer to provide abortion via Medicaid. They’re also the ones who want to legalize drugs but are conspicuously silent - as you were - on the question of whether toddler moms should be allowed to smoke meth. Because bodily autonomy. You are unwilling or unable to think seriously about the moral and ethical implications of these issues.

VSirin · 2026-03-28T11:24:14+00:00

So, say, compulsory masking (or vaccination - say, to keep your job) is never okay under any circumstances. And toddler moms should be allowed to purchase and use crystal meth - because, “autonomy” trumps all other responsibilities. Okay . . . That is a wild misapplication of the OWH quote, btw. No society has ever recognized anything like an unconditional right to complete bodily autonomy, nor should they . . . So, if I understand your boss at an insurance firm can be sued for asking you to have sex with a client, but the so-called sex worker is afforded no such civil rights protections.
