Gotta pair of legs on him I tell ya what.

What witchcraft is this?

This is how missinformation spreads though. If something lines up with your existing worldview then you just assume it’s true.

No source?

It’s not just me! I thought it was some weird quirk of my install or something.

Sounds like it might be a little too salty for me.

But for real, can’t be easy raising kids with any sense of principals or morals these days.

Hey - I don’t like the tone I used to read that comment young man. Fuck them landlords.

I’m curious if this has been studied at all. Like what is a social battery and how does your brain know when it’s low?

Overwhelmingly, research has found interesting gender differences among the general public as well as among college students: men are more likely to be victimized by crime than are women, whereas women are more fearful of crime than men

I’m also not even very likely to be the target of an attack unlike a woman and I feel this way

You are technically 3 times more likely to be murdered as a male than as a female though (this number varies by source to be fair, but males are always higher). Now if you remove partner violence (since the post is about random men), that number is even more disproportionate.

The parent point remains though, you’re ascribing an ill on a huge group (half of the entire population!). At best, it’s lazy, low resolution thinking. At worst it’s the source of prejudice, and ill will.

Again, I don’t care. It’s a silly joke, but I’m not going to sit here and pretend to not get why others might be offended by it.

I get that you’re really passionate about this topic. But the point seemed to have been missed. The parent post is blaming “men” and not “men who x”.

The most like-to-like comparison I can think of is “Family life is such a vibe… it’s a shame that women like to murder babies tho”. Does that help make it more obvious?

The irony of your comment…

You don’t get it? I’m not upset by it, but it makes sense that others might.

What if instead of men it said Jewish people? Black men? Short Asian females? Brown folks? Makes it a little more obvious why it would be problematic no?

It’s casting blame/shame on an incredibly large group for no particular reason (humor?). It’s just a dumb joke, but again, I get why some might be offended a bit.

Ain’t this guy pro Trump? I’m starting to think Elon might be some sort of idiot…
