Me, eating alone because no one will invite me to their holiday celebrations lest I cook another face hugger: “Ha, got 'em”

Well this is a bit of a paradox, as we all know clowns are hung

Love the arc of Wikipedia btw.

Wikipedia in 2001: “Don’t use that site for school, it’s not a good primary source.”

Wikipedia in 2025: “Please, we’re begging you, just $3 can keep the last bastion of truth on the Internet from falling to misinformation.”

“When do I start feeling like an adult?”

That’s the neat part! You don’t!

I guess I was a little to aggressive in my original comment. I meant to explain why minority only groups get less flack than majority only groups, not to suggest that men only groups shouldn’t exist.

Women only groups exist alongside the people who disapprove of them. I don’t see why men only groups can’t. As many have pointed out, however, men only groups DO exist. Someone linked to dull_mens_club as a Lemmy specific example, but more broadly, fraternities exist. Battered mens groups exist. I think some groups like nights of Columbus and the masons are or were men only. Men only schools and colleges exist, as do women only. Most veterans organizations are primarily men just by nature of who makes up the majority of most militaries.

You’re putting words in my mouth and confusing the difference between a demographic and an individual. AS A DEMOGRAPHIC, women are oppressed. AS A DEMOGRAPHIC, men are not. We’re talking about statistics here, not individual experience.

The fact that some men are oppressed does not imply men are equally or more oppressed than women.

The fact that women AS A DEMOGRAPHIC are oppressed and men AS A DEMOGRAPHIC are not does not imply all men are oppressors. It DOES imply that men opress women, but like… fucking duh? If men aren’t pressing women, then who is? It doesn’t mean all men are oppressors, but are you seriously going to sit her and act like the majority of domestic abusers, sexual harassers, and discriminators AREN’T men???

You’re interpreting a defense of women exclusive spaces as an attack on individual men. You should unpack that.

I didn’t place them in the oppressor group, I said they weren’t oppressed.

The mens club you’re talking about DOES exist though. Since men are not a marginalized minority, that club is just called society.

Your logic mirrors asking, ‘Why not create a whites-only club?’ Technically, you could, but people would rightly view it negatively because white people, as a group, are not marginalized. Exclusive spaces for minorities exist to provide relief from the discrimination or bias they routinely encounter. For groups that do not face those barriers, everyday society already functions as their ‘exclusive space,’ which makes it difficult for non-minorities to understand why others might need a separate environment.

You know someone called him that like 5 hours before he used it.

My guess is he was talking to bubba and spoke out of turn.

Men will say anything to avoid admitting they’re bad at sex.

I think the meme is classist because it directs anger toward the people living in the pictured low-income housing. People who have the least control over the forces shaping their lives. Meanwhile, the billionaire class, who paid a hefty and blood-soaked price to keep them uneducated and inundated with right-wing propaganda, escape scrutiny.

Don’t get me wrong, the people in that picture probably suck. They’re more of a symptom tho.

400 years? Will be Hákarl in 5 months.

At least they’re not wasting resources and fossil fuels during a time that is critical for the planets climate. /s

An artifact from the past. Even if it’s a rebranding, it’s pretty obvious to me that leftism needs to move on. Right wing ideology has evolved while left wing ideology, online at least, stays arguing over the same tired shit from 100 years ago.

Cringe is just embarrassment leaving the body.

He never should have spoken on the first place.

Brace as in brace for all the alcohol I will consume in celebration?

You either die a start up or live long enough to become google.

They are literally trying to turn Americans into the Covenant tho. Religious warriors.

It seems the US plans on war to bail it out. Bad bet imo.
