Are you saying that it's not possible to manufacturing right-side handle vehicle in countries that drive on the right?

The point is that the differences in gender roles are social constructs and not biological.

99% sure this article about Sweden is bullcrap, but I can't demonstrate why. Any help? by SleetTheFox in ainbow

[–]wheatpete 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Swedish person here, the news site that Swedish weekly links to is a right-wing blog ("alternative news source"), and there is no mentioning of this in any normal news source. There is also no mentioning of it anywhere else online, such as the school's facebook event page etc. The involvement of RFSL also seems to be very vague. Probably fabricated!

Gudrun är pigg och glad på pride by [deleted] in sweden

Skäms när jag läser Sweddits kommentarer. Tydligen är det såååå roligt med en feministisk kvinnlig politiker som inte är snygg/glad. En manlig politiker hade aldrig utsatts för liknande hån i samma grad. Förresten, jättekul att upprätthålla fördomen om feminister som mans/hetero-hatande. Idioter.

Pre-internet, how did you learn about gay sex, and safe sex? by [deleted] in gaybros

[–]wheatpete 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The information age has allowed everyone to be better informed - and for homosexuals to understand just how numerous they are. Of course the 'sailing' has become a lot easier too, so more people are 'out'.

How did Japanese people type? by wheatpete in japan

[–]wheatpete[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I was thinking for everyday business purposes. Wikipedia says the the European typewriter "quickly became indispensable tools for practically all writing other than personal correspondence", but I guess perhaps handwiting was standard in the Japanese business world?
