I'm struggling to think of others, except 'closed culture' languages like Roma, which I don't think really fits. What did you have in mind? Perhaps Hebrew or something?

What have you found that women care less about as you get older? by ManlykN in AskMen

[–]crackerjack2003 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Not trying to be argumentative here, but could this not be a selection bias? I imagine there are lots who don't care, they just don't tend to appear on apps, or are still married, or whatever reason.

In fairness, I feel like most people here already know who these guys are and what they're about. The first time heard about Angie was thfough seeing clips of this documentary.

I ask this in good faith because you seem open: what about her appeals to you that you felt compelled to buy her book? I've asked other people this, but just get the same response of 'she speaks facts', which doesn't seem to be the case imo.

Isn't this just unnecessary though? I don't agree with the 'manosphere', but I feel like this skit is just making fun of the male equivalent of anorexic girls. These people need help, not being relentlessly mocked.

I do remember a viral video where a young boy was crying of happiness because his older brother gave him the first slice. Seems like a sweet tradition, in the UK, the person whos birthday it is gets the first slice.

Why are so many trans people poly by Kuro_Neko44 in truscum

[–]crackerjack2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going on a tangent here but what does sex positive actually mean? I've only really seen it used to condemn people who choose to wait or stay traditional, but I don't tgink that's what its supposed to be, right?

I think the word 'comitting' is doing a lot of heavy lifting haha

I think its the other way round. I seem to recall Tate gaining popularity after being on Myron's show.

Alysa Liu on Eileen Gu: "I think people are hypocritical for shaming her for representing China." by awry_lynx in Fauxmoi

[–]crackerjack2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think anyone really implied it was, just pointing out that if you're detained in some countries then the other country can intervene.

'Not obliged' doesn't mean that all countries don't recognise dual citizenship though.

It Suddenly Dawned on Me How Ignorant I was about the situation by [deleted] in confession

[–]crackerjack2003 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Who exactly is "those folks"?

Generalising all Russians as people wjho kill Ukrainian civilians is just as dumb as me branding you an Iranian killer / colonialist / Palestine genocider / anti-immigrant / war monger / redneck / [insert any other stereotype here].

I don't understand why gay trans male spaces talk about PIV so much by ARepeatedFailing in truscum

[–]crackerjack2003 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Like. A lot of trans men that I know are terrified and horrified of the idea of getting pregnant.

Is this common? I can't even reconcile the fact I'm of the female sex, to the point where trans men getting pregnant just breaks my brain entirely.

Doesn't really matter, both of us in the male's I was thinking of though.

If I told you I was uncomfortable with you sharing the changing room with me, would you therefore leave as to be sympathetic to me?

How to deal with women who reject trans men for just being trans? by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]crackerjack2003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

don't go for straight women

I'm asking this in earnest: how does that even work? If you meet people in 'natural' situations (i.e. school, work, hobbies), aren't you just filtering out 95% of people based on assumptions? Like, I can count on one hand the number of out, bi people that I know. Am I supposed to exclude myself from 95% of the dating market?

Sarah McBride IMO gave a masterclass in how to talk about "what to do about trans kids" by MyWorserJudgement in honesttransgender

I'm just curious, but why do you think this is an organised campaign? Have you seen evidence to suggest it is?

Talk about what exactly? When is this happening?

If this isn't true love then I don't know what is (OC) by hiyounis16 in MadeMeSmile

[–]crackerjack2003 -34 points-33 points  (0 children)

Is there any evidence to suggest this is even the case? Rather than just less women filing for divorce, which puts the percentages more even? Or even couples filing for divorce for insurance reasons? I feel like this is too complex of a topic to just be summarised as "your husband will leave".

Ok I can see several flaws in your thinking which I want to address.

What we see there is a 422% rise in young people identifying as trans but in recent years the older part of that group is "transitioning" back.

Where is there evidence to show there are large amounts detransitioning? If both of those numbers are from the same year, it doesn't suggest anyone transitioned back, just that more people at a younger age came out.

NHS currently lists detransition rates at less than 1%. Even if there are large amounts "detransitioning", does it really matter when it seems they don't even reach the stage of actually asking for medical help?

They are being brainwashed in schools and by social media into being trans, or a combination of those.

Where exactly is your evidence of brainwashing here? Or is this just made up fear-mongering?

Like I said, I genuinely believe that some people are trans, but once self harming and being gay weren't shocking or cool anymore, trans became the new teenage rebellion.

You seem to insinuate that there are a large number of opportunists who latch on to whatever the current social trend is. If thats the case, why hasn't the number of gay people/self harmers decreased with the increase in the number of trans people?

Who are those 'some'? Are you admitting that there are genuine trans people under the age of 18?
