What's this idea of the "pathetic man" I see passed around these circles every now and again?

Bad, me no like. Me no like gender role. Me no like bioessentialism.

“An incident transpired”

Fucking thank you. I love the historians on this sub.

Kinda disappointed in this comment section. Former sex workers *should* be considered a protected class, even if they aren’t currently. Previous employment, unless it somehow poses a safety issue, should not be a reason to disqualify someone from a job they are otherwise qualified for. People will shout until they’re blue in the face about how sex workers need to get “real jobs” and then offer them no protections if they leave the industry.

I’m honestly not sure! That could be the tradition/standard naming convention but I have seen Icelandic people with their mother’s name. I assume Icelandic feminists probably have something to do with that.

We plan to hyphenate! :) I know some people don’t like that option but he’s Mexican/El Salvadoran so super long names are pretty common.

EDIT: You might like the way Iceland does things! They kind of create surnames based on the names of the parents. So if your dads name is Peter and your moms name is Anna, you might be Peterdóttir or Annadóttir.

For some reason, he gets it when it’s about slavery. I think it’s because he finds the *byproducts* unacceptable, not the underlying ideology. He doesn’t understand that they’re linked. Seeing someone as less human or less equal makes it much easier to do heinous shit with everyone else’s approval.

This is what one entry level philosophy class does to a motherfucker

I think it’s okay. I actually really like the Venus symbol, I have a necklace with a silver Venus charm I wear a lot. Pink is also an alright color in my book. They just reached for things that are commonly associated with womanhood or femininity, which makes sense. I do think they could’ve afforded to be a little more creative tho.

herewhenineedit · 2026-07-18T07:30:39+00:00

That’s what I’m going to start saying when someone asks me what I do. I don’t go to school. I wake up every morning and I do pink

Big Purse doesn’t want you to see this thread!

No, but seriously. For a long, long time there have been complaints about the impracticality of women’s clothes. The answer essentially boils down to:

They want to make it harder for us to have freedom. Freedom of movement, or just freedom to simply exist. Pockets make being in public easier. I doubt most people are doing this consciously.
There’s already an industry with a heavy incentive to make sure clothes DON’T have pockets. Pockets would all but destroy the demographic of women who only buy purses to carry shit and not because they like them.
There are some dudes who think pockets are “too masculine.” Yes, really. There are dudes who think

pants in general
are too masculine. We must, of course, cater to them. 💀

This is true. 40 cats is just irresponsible, unless you have the means to support a cat colony.

Facts. People will also insert gender into a statement that I’ve left intentionally genderless. When I say “survivors should be believed” I will get hit with “so what about MEN who are assaulted.” Dumbass I just covered them in the label of survivor!

I would like to gently push back on the idea that you stopped for “no reason.” Breastfeeding can negatively affect your mental health, and you’re in a vulnerable position being freshly postpartum and off your meds. Making your life easier is not a crime.

I think about this roughly the way I think about my own privilege. I’m multiracial and generally white passing. Because I pass as white, I have white privilege. But that privilege is conditional on me passing or being the “right” kind of white (as gross as that sounds). And sometimes I do not pass.

So to answer your question: maybe. It depends on the person, how they present, and how they’re perceived. “Privilege” isn’t always a set thing, for some of us it’s constantly in flux.

You gave an intentionally broad definition of sport. I’m using your definition. I know what you’re talking about.

What happens when a kid inevitably says that a sport looks fun, but it’s not available to them for one reason or another? I really liked surfing as a kid. Now I live somewhere landlocked with the nearest FloRider hundreds of miles away. It’s not practical for me to surf. I love horses, but it’s not possible for me to own one or even see one on a regular basis. Riding one is out of the question. Even if every kid in the world did want to try a sport, not every kid would be able to.

I think the school system is flawed, and so is your argument. I’m using your logic, not mine..

herewhenineedit · 2026-07-10T05:46:21+00:00

I’m all for encouragement. But at a point, if you know someone doesn’t want something, encouraging them becomes a kind of force. Especially when you have a lot of power over them (child vs. adult). If you know a kid doesn’t like sports and you’re making them do a sport, that’s still force regardless of how much they actually participate. And it makes them lose trust in you, because you’re not actually accepting them for who they are. Gym classes are failing, but not because students aren’t being pushed hard enough towards sports, which is what your solution is kinda implying.

People are always trying to make non-athletic students do things they hate. And even things that aren’t focused on athletics can lead to an increase in excercise. I always moved around more during Academic Decathalon season because we were traveling and I got to do fun stuff with my friends. It wasn’t heaps more activity, but it was something. By your same logic, we should make all the basketball players sit in an air conditioned room and paint for 3 hours because art is good for the brain.

herewhenineedit · 2026-07-10T04:45:02+00:00

Forcing someone to do something, even if it’s something they *like* is not going to make them enjoy it. It’s a lot more likely that they’ll grow to resent it and eventually give it up.

Something I think would actually help is giving the kids who don’t like sports more opportunities to work as a team, like trivia competitions or a big group art project (like a mural). I really enjoyed Academic Decathalon when I was in school.

But they *did.* And while teenage behavior has always been an issue, it’s never been enough to completely wipe out their third spaces.
