    I prefer to think of it as having the bravery to end a bloodline that reaches directly back to the first earth organism. The buck stops here.

    Referring to woman as “bitches” might be part of the problem.

    Or, is that the “joke”, I don’t gen Z humor a lot of the time, it seems.

      He doesn’t say he himself is bitchless. To the contrary, he’s wondering what it’s like to know this which implies he doesn’t know which means he did got a girl and is, in fact, bitchfull.

      He doesn’t mean bitches in a disrespectful way. He just means it as a general term for women.

      You can have up to 3 Internet fun points if you know the reference.

      I’ve always hated this take especially considering how the music industry has a whole genre that specifically refers to women as bitches and no one is ever upset by it and women even dance and sing along to them.

      But say it online and ho boy now it’s a problem

        People are in general overly sensitive to words online. One day it was suddenly faux pas to say “retarded”. Sorry but why is anybody policing this? If I call someone retarded, it was meant to be an insult.

        I miss the Internet of decades prior, where it took at least a room temperature IQ to access it.

          When I call you an ableist shithead it is also meant to be an insult. You don’t really need to use slurs to do that, you fuckwad.

            Ok, but you’ve done nothing to refute my statement or provide any additional information that’s remotely useful. Just slinging ineffective insults that fall pretty flat if I’m honest.

            In terms of ableism, I guess that’s true to a degree. I definitely consider people of significantly lower intellect to be below me, but that’s not to say I don’t still treat them kindly and with respect until they’ve proven they don’t deserve it.

            The same people who tell me retarded is a bad word now will still casually drop moron or idiot and they’re synonyms. People decided retarded was a bad word because it’s the one we were using, but now those same people use a synonym and tell me a word is off limits. All they’ve done is give the word even more weight.

            People commonly insult stupidity in creative ways. Many forms of “stupidities” are mental illnesses. While you’re changing words around, you’re essentially still coincidentally insulting what can be considered disabilities, so in the end does it really make a difference? “Retard” isn’t a medical term for quite some time now, it is a pure insult. Medical field now says “intellectual disability”.

            If I say “stop 'tarding around”, is it less insulting? What about saying “intellectually disabled”?

            I never use the word myself (EDIT: … Except now), I just sometimes overthink stuff

        Or coercion, or a bunch of other closely related things. All across history there have been “incentives” for women to lower their standards and to gaslight themselves into believing that their shitty situations were normal.

        When do you suppose that what we consider modern humans were able to be capable of mutual consent? What about our ancestors and what we evolved from?

        Because, that’s just a tiny fraction of our history, and that doesn’t go back close to even a hundred thousand years. Let alone “hundreds”. None of the times before that could be considered consensual. So yes, of course, you don’t?

        Children isn’t even the right word for most of our history as well, It’s offspring.

          Homo sapiens is around 300,000 years old. That includes the level of intelligence and the capability for social behaviour.

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human#Evolution

          And given that many female animals will violently chase off males who want to mate against the females’ will, ‘consent’ is probably much, much older.

            Animals can deny consent, but not give. You’re also proving their point. Nothing is consensual in the animal kingdom, and humans aren’t hundreds of thousands of years old either.

            You are suggesting that not saying no means they give consent, that’s clearly not the metric we use.

              This is a level of nonsense that I’ve come to expect on Lemmy. Nothing you’ve said it back up by science or history but there will be no convincing you otherwise.

              Any chance you’re one of those who are here because you keep got banned from Reddit?

                Is the word consensual so hard for you to understand? It’s not the same as just consent. It’s mutual consent, not one sided. Lmfao such a “Reddit” thing to ignore words and their definitions to make their point. Look in the mirror mate.

                Consent and mutual consent(consensual) are entirely different concepts. The animal kingdom CANNOT provide mutual consent, like your example, that’s denying consent, not mutual consent, and again, try using that metric in today’s age. They specified that in their comment, ignoring it is fallacious.

                Or, you’re part of what’s wrong with the world and take not hearing no as yes. Not saying no isn’t consent and never has been!

      Yeah, 20-somethings do NOT need to despair, although I would also add: make it a priority if love is something you truly want to find.

      I see lots of people talk like this while not taking any active steps, as if the love of their life is going to knock on their door and tell them to stop scrolling and marry them.

        I mean, I’ve been married for ten years to a woman who sent me an absolutely unsolicited and unprompted message on OK Cupid, where my profile was so disused I nearly forgot about it.

        Sometimes the love of one’s life does just knock on their door and tell them to stop scrolling and marries them.

    Have you tried to have just a regular conversation with women? I mean I seduced my wife by saying ‘Hi, how are you’ and listening to her. Yes, men and women are not the same but if we treat each other like humans, you can actually have a nice time together.

      Yeah there’s a bunch of women I associate with that find me attractive and have either expressed interest in me or told me they would be if not for various external factors. I don’t really do anything besides be in pretty good physical shape and go out and be chill towards everyone. It’s not too difficult. Trying too hard is where I always ran into trouble.

      My wife tells me that’s what attracted her to me. She said I could hold a conversation and listen.

      Which is also what attracted me to her. She could talk and had her own mind. “Treat each other like humans” seems like an easy ask but I apparently scooped up the best wife ever because nobody had done that before.

      “Feminism is nothing more than the radical belief that women are people.”

      The differences between men and women are largely just fashion and custom. Women have interests, wants, lusts, and dislikes that are as varied as those of men.
