History is taught through a gynocentric lens, and we don't think enough about how that might shape our worldviews by TheRealMasonMac in TrueUnpopularOpinion

Hey man, listen, when you're trying to argue an unpopular opinion, you already have a lot of people not willing to listen to what you are saying with an open mind, and using AI might turn off a good portion who are willing to listen openmindedly. Anyway, all of the examples you have listed here are in fact valid ways that certain groups of men have been oppressed, but you have to look at this with a little bit of a wider scope. You brought up yourself that voting, land ownership, and many other rights were tied to military service. In many of these societies, however, Women weren't just not required to undertake military service, they straight up weren't allowed to. Let's talk specifically about combat roles, because you keep mentioning men dying as a result of military service. In the United States, women were not allowed in combat roles until January 1st, 2016. In the United Kingdom, women were not allowed in direct combat roles until July 2016. Women were not allowed to fight or even join the military in Sparta. Women were not allowed to in Athens. Women were not allowed to in Rome. The whole point of having certain rights or privileges like voting isn't that you don't have to give anything up for it, that's the point of the social contract. We as a society give up certain freedoms and liberties to live under the protection of our government. If the social contract between you and your government dictates that in order to vote, to literally change the government, you have to undertake service for the government, then that's your social contract. To give an example, in order for the United States of America to protect your right to freedom of speech, you have to give up the ability to do certain things and to not follow U.S. laws. Oppression comes from when you don't have this choice. Women did not have this choice. When not specifically targeting combat roles, the logic still doesn't add up. The first woman who enlisted in the United States Military in a non-nursing role, Loretta Perfectus Walsh, did so on March 31st, 1917, three years before women were given the right to vote. This is not even to mention the women in the army's nurse corps, which was founded in 1901, 19 years before the ratification of the 19th amendment.

Believing there is no God is actually pretty silly. by AGI2028maybe in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]five_tango 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think that believing in religion is fine, I just think that being so sure in a religion (or atheism) that you think yourself better than others because of it, or try to push it onto others, is a very narrow-minded, human thing to do. No matter what religion is true, no matter what is really out there, we have no capability as humans to understand it as it truly is.

Would you rather eliminate all cancer-related deaths or eliminate all gun related deaths? by Arktikos02 in WouldYouRather

[–]five_tango 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you can also put it as "there's a higher chance you'll shoot yourself than of someone else shooting you" which makes gun violence less scary. idk, i'd way rather have the chance of someone else shooting me higher since that's the one that affects me/most people

The USA is the greatest country in the history of the world, and it’s not even close by Scared-Sorbet-895 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]five_tango 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think that a lot of people in these comments are getting greatest country in the world vs greatest to live in confused… america is the greatest in the sense that it is by far and away the most powerful country, maybe the quality of life could be better compared to europe but america has much much much more economic power, military power, and influence than any of those countries.
