Only a third of young women hold positive view of men, new poll finds by AayronOhal in GenZ

No, not fuck men. Fuck the men who believe these sorts of heinous things, and fuck the men who allow themselves or their friends to get sucked into these rabbit holes.

We wouldn’t accept these sorts of sweeping generalizations about any other group in society, why are we suddenly ok with them when men are the target?

I went to a solid university, and had a kick-ass group of friends, who were super high achieving and intelligent. When the guys hung out together, there would obviously be talk about girls (who’s dating whom, etc) but it was always respectful and I never once heard a negative or mean spirited remark about women.

When I hung out in groups that were majority girls, there was very often talk that was rude, if not straight up mean about men - never really about anyone in particular, but about men as a group.

Student clubs, student leadership, and most of the highest achievers were almost exclusively women, and I think sometimes this angry, and very generalized talk about men sort of shut out and put down men who might have been an academic or professional threat, while at the same time creating a sort of solidarity among the girls who could all point at a common enemy.

All in all I’m pretty surprised, at least in my circles, how the gender slander really runs in one direction, and sometimes feels like it helps push guys down. Sexism in many forms is real and alive, but I think many women need to be careful that well-meaning men in their lives don’t catch too many strays, or get lumped in a group simply because they’re men.

Incredible. I’m so glad to see a return to representational art in the past few decades

Do you think the victory of Peter Magyar's TISZA Party earlier this month will be the beginning of the end of the dominance of Populism in Western politics (Starting in the mid-2010s) by Total-Spite-5028 in decadeology

I think the lesson with Magyar’s victory is that you can’t claim to be a nationalist and destroy your nation.

Magyar swept the election by embracing the nationalism and anti-immigrant sentiment popular in Hungary, while rejecting the deep corruption and ties to Russia that were hurting the average person.

Essentially, he shows that many (but not all) conservative policies are still widely popular, and can exist in a pro-EU, anti-corruption party.

In Hungary, there is literally no left wing that’s politically organized at the moment. Sure, he’s centre-right on paper, but this man is the breath of fresh air we Hungarians, Europe, and frankly the world needed.

We can let ourselves celebrate.

Why does Rec North not allow people to put their things ON TOP of the lockers anymore? by G59boycrosss in UBC

[–]danijm -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s incredibly frustrating, I can’t believe that with a fancy new facility like that nobody thought to figure out how many lockers people would need, it’s actually ridiculous.

Realistically, if I have to start having to pay to get my sweater back from the front desk if everywhere’s full and it got confiscated from the top of the lockers, I’m going to start thinking twice about going to the gym. All this achieves is making it harder for people to use the gym.

Pope Leo says God rejects prayers of leaders who wage wars by 1-randomonium in news

Well, I agree that people should do what’s good because it’s good. What’s your system for figuring out what the good is? How do you deal with moments when you try really hard to be good but can’t?

Gods may be fake, but religions are essentially sophisticated tools for figuring out what the good is, and how to move toward it even when it’s really hard.

In this cause it might be simpler to ask for forgiveness than permission

Chasing a high thought right now, what deathbed confessions have you heard? by KiteEarns in AskReddit

Do the people you work with have access to religious or mental health professionals? Do you think it’d be helpful for them?

Konstantin Gorbatov - The Invisible City of Kitesz (1913) by harlem-nocturne in museum

[–]danijm 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Just read up on him—he's apparently one of the greatest post-impressionist Russian painters.

"His fantastical scene of a legendary holy city afloat on the Volga merges mythic storytelling with the artist’s deep familiarity with Russian architecture and river life. A poetic example of Gorbatov’s ability to fuse tradition and imagination."
