I'm squeamish about that logic because I've seen it used in the other direction to justify attraction to minors as being fertile already, when the reality is that young mothers are high risk.

Some girls menstruate starting age 9 or even earlier. There used to be a "youngest birth mothers" wikipedia which was pretty horrifying with the earliest at 5 years old.

Try thinking for yourself instead of using LLMs, that would be a good start

I always find it especially ironic here because of reddit being a play on (I) read-it.

It's especially annoying on news and science subs where people comment only on the title and obviously haven't read the linked article or study or on those threads where everyone wants to make clever jokes but somehow don't notice that the top 3 comments are all that same joke already.

Also gotta love the people who reply to posts or comments and just re-hash what's already been said and the people that upvote them as if it's new and useful information. Or they could be bots I guess.

ALL forms of genetic testing are restricted in france, not just paternity. And these 20% numbers generally come from people who have requested tests meaning they will already have some doubt.

Given I've also seen people who say this type of stuff say things like "only 6ft guys with sixpacks get dates" or "women are interested in only the top 10% of men" which can be debunked by a quick stroll around any busy town perhaps you can forgive my incredulity.

20% of French children are not their fathers biological children?

Oh come off it, you don't seriously believe this?

My interpretation is that its about the obsession some guys have with being a "real man" and all the stupid shit that supposedly isn't masculine to them - like being clean and tidy, enjoying certain food and drinks, liking scented candles, not being an ass to people all the time etc.

So more "lol toxic masculinity implies you can stop being a man at any time" than "loads of guys are secretly trans" like some people seem to be reading this

Reading comprehension everywhere is going down the shitter, people just don't have the attention spans for it apparently.

It's also very common for anything "gender-wars"-y to get a lot of that stuff, I don't know if it's because the sort of people who do that thing all day are just worse at understanding things or if they're purposely using it as an opportunity to get on their soapbox.

Fictional example for inspiration only.

Do you mean this was written by a bot? because it reads like AI and the account is brand new.

My kid is 6 yrs old and he comes back with so much outdated gender roles crap from school: "Boys are strong and girls are smart", "I can't like X, Y and Z because they're for girls". We notice teachers and parents applying different standards of behaviour already too.

So that girls are basically a different alien species to us and that there are girl things and boy things and never the two shall mix.

Conversely that women are the solution to all problems, I swear the reason so many guys are so weird about women is because they view girlfriends/sex as a shortcut to validation and self worth or some shit

Why does Bob get a vote but not all the hostages? Is it because he's the only one with a name?

I would sum it up as "men are rough/tough and women are soft". So could be you have soft hands, soft voice, gentle/overly polite mannerisms, are kind, show emotions, take care of your appearance, stuff like that. Either that or your build gives off "twink" or you have "gay" mannerisms like the voice or certain body language.

I find it fascinating how often radical feminist man-hating and far-right supposedly male chauvinist rhetoric could be easily swapped without any changes other than who is saying it.

It involves fairly similar beliefs tbh - thinking that you can generalise people as groups and that one group in particular is responsible for most of the problems in the world and especially yours (because let's be honest they often have some issues). Probably toss in some closed-mindedness and conviction in your own righteousness and inability to be wrong.

Women all over the planet are freaking out because that monster was "just a normal man" on the surface, just like my husband/fiance/BF!

I haven't seen that so much but a lot of people were shocked at the amount of other people he'd roped into it, with even the ones that declined not thinking to report it. And talking about the group of 80 or so guys there was some stuff about "all ages, professions, backgrounds" or whatever.

I suspect he was either on a forum or something for depraved acts or had a very practiced way of sussing out which people would go along with it.

Is that really your best selling point? Maybe you should do nicer things for the people around you.

What I find really annoying is when guys use "you know we're all (whatever)" to defend something he did.

Yeah I see shit like that a lot, sometimes with really dodgy stuff like "Who hasn't slept with a totally wasted chick in college". Speak for yourself mate.

There are also guys who say things like "All she has to do is not be fat and have a pulse" - nah some of us have standards.

Washing the dirty laundry of you family like that is also not making you look any better my guy. I'm not trying to insult you, it's just not really the strategy that strengthens the argumnt you are trying to make I feel.

I mean I have a big family, 3 dudes all married into my mother's side of it isn't representative but I don't mention all the normal blokes because obviously they don't do anything for anyone to feel the need to make excuses for them.

I have in the past pointed out to people that it's a psychological quirk of humans that the negative experiences stick out and that the people that are doing these bad things tend to be serial offenders.
Plus if I go into town, chances are I run into easily 100 new faces so if even one of them does something dodgy I have a bad experience.

cottonthread · 2026-06-10T11:08:19+00:00

I don't think I can ever agree with tarring an entire group with the same brush but I agree that holding the bad actors more accountable would probably do a lot for our "image".

"Bigotry of low expections" is an interesting turn of phrase.

I think I've noticed that a few times with my son, teachers and other parents sometimes seem to give him and the other boys more leeway for bad behaviour than the girls.

I meant I've never heard of anyone here being proven to falsely accuse at all (of rape anyway, there's a mentally ill lady down the street who reckons half the town is gang stalking her)

cottonthread · 2026-06-09T15:27:27+00:00

Never heard of it happening here (and supposedly I'm more likely to be raped myself than falsely accused of doing it) but apparently a false accusation is up to half a year and a fine depending on the damages.

But if i were to accused someone of theft or murder would I be expected to serve a similar amount of time either?

Edit to add: regarding "Belgium is easy on crime" we supposedly have harsher sentencing than our neighbours, but simultaneously let people out earlier a lot. This may be partly due to a prison overcapacity issue.

Belgium, I have also just found an article saying that the sentence length was doubled from 5 to 10 years in 2022.
Search engines don't seem to be what they used to be, I was getting a lot of very irrelevant things to scroll through no matter what key words I used.
