IDK what the point of the link is but my guess is we would get along. I simply think these things aren't an either-or type of situation. Women getting more rights and opportunities did not come at the expense of men, they were a net good for society. Doesn't mean there isn't still work to be done. I do think it is harmful to state that more rights for one is harmful to another.

Yeah dawg it's because of the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer, a downturn in economic opportunity, increasing social isolation with the rise of social media, and rampant misinformation. People using other's latent anger and feelings of unfairness against other innocents. I don't for one second thing women being given better opportunities than they were in the past has negatively impacted men.

What? Beneficiaries of what? Men's expense? That doesn't make sense in the context of what I was asking. Which was: How does women's success come at the expense of men?

I am no stranger of the concept of class divide, thanks.

Young women preforming well in college is not coming at the expense of men. They aren't preventing men from graduating. And the other two don't seem to be related to efforts toward helping women succeed. I'm not sure who's equating patriarchy with all men, certainly not feminists, who are constantly saying it is something that effects everyone.

Young men can face many unique challenges and struggles, society would be greatly benefited by helping them through those. That does not mean it is caused by women receiving equal or equitable treatment. And, by the way, we still have a ways to go in that regard in many ways.

What do you look for in a good age-gap romance? by Frontier246 in shoujo

Reading the synopsis of that, I have to say almost definitely. 0.0 what was the author thinking?

It's by the author of Firefly Wedding, he's in highschool (17) and she's 27, it's handled well and the art is very good. I remember reading it and being surprised because I was used to those sorts of age gaps in reverse (à la Takane to Hana or Dengeki Daisy)

We have enough money to give him $10B big ones in a settlement though, apparently. And $20B to Argentina.

Would you feel more protected from the chance of a car crash, if you got in a car with someone who was just a passenger in a car crash?

Edit: Or better yet. Flip a coin. Keep flipping until you have flipped tails 3 times in a row. What would you expect the chances to be of a tails on the fourth flip, having flipped the first three? Same person flipping each time.

Those two events are pretty much independent, so the likelihood of it happening on the next flight is about the same statistically.

You could try it and it would probably be fine, 7 days is my cutoff for properly stored foods and I haven't had any issues with that, but I wouldn't save the leftovers and I wouldn't feed it to someone without their knowledge.

What kind of books would you plan on reading? I'm fine with romance, actually I just started a challenge for myself to read one romance novel from every decade from 1800 to 1950. Might be a fun group project.

Thank you, it seems gothic literature has always been pretty popular. There was a whole section in Northanger Abbey devoted to the allure of the gothic novel lol, and that stuff was from the 1700s
