The fact that anon is also misinterpreting the reactions from people on the left post. They’re saying “that’s stupid but if you have the ick, leave” they aren’t babying her or anything. They also are literally telling her that it doesn’t matter in the bottom comment too. I will concede that the reactions on the right post are lackluster and dumb but I wouldn’t say this is a double standard.

The person you're replying to is making fun of the above quote by Hillary Clinton, by turning it into something equally ridiculous. The primary victims of war are those killed by it, after all, just like the primary victims of SA are those who were assaulted. Yes, women don't kill significantly more men in wars than men other men, but the effect (dead person) is still there. And statistically, it's more likely to be a man, since most armies are primarily made up of men. Changing the quote to be more in line with reality, instead of as aloof and out of touch as it is, means you're missing the point of the parody.

Clinton is being tone deaf but women really are the "silent" victims of war, largely because of wartime rape. It's insanely common, a devastating psychological weapon, and criminally underreported because of the shame and stigma involved. To give an idea, 700,000 people were murdered in Rwandan genocide while an estimated 500,000 Tutsi women were raped during the mass killings. You can argue its not the same as being murdered but it is a serious issue.

It’s sexist for the same reason “all Asians are good at maths” is racist. Doubly so considering “excellence” for a woman means very different things than for a man and can actively be harmful depending on career choices

Kardinale@reddit

It is definitely not even close to the same as that, we're talking about generally assigning positive traits due to in-group biases. That is not the case for positive traits being assigned to other races.

Sulfuras26@reddit

To the extent that the study had women overwhelmingly rating women higher in overall “wonderfulness,” yes, that has a definite higher chance of happening than all Asian people overwhelming rating all Asians as being good at math. But the societal framework remains the same. It’s one leg of the same systemic complex. Whether or not an in-group rating itself higher doesn’t make the comparison moot — if anything, all you’re speaking to is the mechanics of the study itself. At the end of the day, the perception of women as dainty, harmless, and beautiful flowers in need of saving and protection is but one side of a coin where the other side is a far more toxic inversion of that “positive sexism” — that women ought not to even think about being able to protect themselves on their own, and that they need some sort of caretaker figure (usually a man) to do that job for them. For some women, that might work out well for them. But for others? It’s incredibly dehumanizing. It places a blanket expectation on an incredibly diverse group of people. The core issue of that is that they cannot consent to that treatment. In the same way that yeah, being Asian in a western country might mean growing up in a social climate that expects you to be good at math, so you are predisposed and pressured toward being good at math. But what if an Asian person in that environment hates math? What if what they want to do in life doesn’t concern math or science or any of that stuff at all? Sure, they can work toward that kind of career, but should they have to deal with being second-guessed by others all the while? Who cares if it’s a positive connotation, the whole point of being against racism is being against the formation and maintenance of stereotypes being placed on others simply on the basis of their skin color.

Yes, some tall dude saw me looking at a yogurt on the top shelf at a supermarket and asked if I needed help. I was very appreciative of his timely assistance. I don't think it's in any way emasculating to admit you are physically less gifted than someone else and accept their help.

You asked if someone had *"ever"* assumed we needed help, not "all the time". Stop moving the goal posts, you gave conditions and I gave you an answer. If it's not to your liking - it is entirely on you.

Sulfuras26@reddit

“Moving the goal posts” when the topic of conversation has always been about the systemic problem of sexism, positive and negative. Considering these forces constantly intertwine in our daily lives as well as the entire movement of a society, that includes the individual experience. I never discounted that, in fact, I even explicitly mentioned that some people may enjoy such treatment while others, across the board, feel patronized and dehumanized by that same treatment. Once again, my choice of verbiage when asking if someone has never felt patronized or belittled or merely singled out on the basis of how they look is to prove the point I have always stood on since the start of this thread — positive and negative stereotypes remain the same side of the same coin. A man is the unyielding, unfazed leader of his people -> a man is an emotional black hole who cannot express anything so that he does not show weakness. A woman is a benevolent, dainty thing in need of care and protection -> a woman is a drone incapable of serious thought and must be coddled. Wanting to be free of both those expectations is not a denial of your positive experiences with treatment in this sphere, it’s wanting the removal of how none of us consent to them — we are born into them, and expected to play the part. Is it really worth scoring the own at the cost of not growing out of those molds lol?

I can just smell the manosphere dripping from this comment lol. Would it help you to know that the very positive sexism you’re ridiculing here is the exact same mechanism that enforces the belief that men ought to be stoic, unfeeling, and against receiving help? So much of MGTOW bullshit implies the loss of men’s mental health as a result of feminism, when in reality, the patriarchy is precisely what confines and constricts both female AND male emotions and individuality into a societally appetizing mold. So what’s your choice? Genuinely believing that positive sexism is actually a good thing that women shouldn’t complain about while also saying how hard men have it, or laying down the gamergate-era pitchfork and doing the simple thinking process to realize that the same expectations that “give help” to women are the same ones that expect men to do all the work and carry the weight of society on their backs alone?

"Good" stereotypes can still be rooted in bigotry. The myth about black men having bigger dicks is rooted in racism. Basically, black men are more animalistic (so less human) so they have bigger dicks. The funny thing is humans have enormous dicks relative to our body size compared to other animals so a more animalistic man would have a smaller dick

It's more a reflection that men are often told to toughen up and deal with emotional issues as though having strong feelings is a failing. Women are rewarded for expressing their feelings. It's just a cultural trend where men suck at being kind towards each other and are pushed towards a stoic ideal which doesn't fit everyone. and reddit is full of simps

It's not that men suck at being kind towards other men. It's that women suck at being kind towards men and men are normally overly kind towards women. That disparity creates all of these issues.

To be fair, gender is going to matter how it's perceived, because judging women for having slept around is tied to misogyny, but there isn't really a similar tie between judging men for having slept around and misandry. Same effect as how if you call a black person a racial slur it's a serious insult, while if you call a white person that same racial slur they'll probably just be confused.

YoungDiscord@reddit

I think the problem stems from the fact that a lot of 18-25 year old adults are often preyed on by 30+ people who are just looking for a young and gullible person to trap in an abusive relationship That aside, I generally don't count 18-26 as adults, rather I see them as children trying to grow and figure out how to be adults. Go to any drama subreddit and the overwhelming majority of the really stupid posts about stuff that could be avoided with a modicum of common sense, foresight & communication is posted by people within that age group. I just don't think someone who hasn't matured enough to fit adult life should be sharing their life with someone who already has and is working towards their life goals. But all *that* aside, this is just an opinion and I'm not anyone's mother so I'm not going to be enforcing that on anyone. I will however judge though.

I do think the problem is that people essentialize the age gap into being the problem itself, rather than actually looking at the consequences of it. A 30-year-old dating an 18-year-old isn't a problem inherently because of the age difference, it's a problem because the 30-year-old's motives are suspect. It's a red flag, i.e. a warning sign that there might be other problems afoot rather than the problem by itself. The issue is less that the 18-year-old is immature and inexperienced (although that is certainly likely to be true), but rather on *why* the 30-year-old wants someone who is probably like that. Usually it will at best mean that the 30-year-old is shallow and mainly cares about looks, and at worst mean that they are actively looking someone who they can control. Again, not absolute certainties, but the problems that one should be on the lookout for if one goes into a relationship like that.

I do think a lot of it is just the rhetoric mainly being young people. It's usually people 18-22ish who are being extreme about age gaps, and that's the age where 5 years older can be a lot, and 5 years younger is just straight-up a no-go. It's pretty natural to hear "he's dating someone 10 years younger", imagine a person 10 years younger than *yourself* and then reacting based on that, even if it is obviously incorrect if you're 25 hearing about a 40-year-old dating a 30-year-old.

Once upon a time the general rule for age gap in a relationship was as long as it’s at or above half your age + 7, it’s not creepy.

Didn’t you know? Age gaps are only a problem when it’s older men with younger women. When I dated a woman 10 years older than me every one thought it was great. Older woman with a younger man = cougar, older man with a younger woman = creep/predator

To be fair, I do think there is some merit to the double standard, not actually because of gender, but because of how it is tied to who is more likely to initiate. IMO an age gap relationship or hookup is basically always going to be less suspect if the younger party is the one initiating.

Not just that, it’s a thing with kids these days to think that normal age differences are inappropriate/predatory. A 21 year old dating a 19 year old is basically considered a pedophile by half their peers, it’s gotten ridiculous. I think it’s related to giving toddlers iPads, overuse of the word “grooming,” and Covid stunting the emotional and intellectual development of an entire generation.

American zoomer puritanism and its consequences

Reply

[-]

kinga_forrester@reddit

The young zoomer age group is so cooked, zoom school was a big mistake in retrospect. One thing people don’t realize is that Covid kids never actually re-acclimated to full time in person school, so attendance is *abysmal.* Last week I had a high schooler go home after lunch on Tuesday, and just called the rest of the week off. That’s *considered normal now.* Admin can’t punish *everyone,* and teachers can’t possibly keep track of the sheer amount of make up work. Last year the high school informed my neighbor that his daughter had already missed over 30 days of school, and that there was no way she could graduate if she kept having unexcused absences. Did my neighbor force her to go to school, maybe take away her phone? No, of course not, he sued the school instead. Not that it’s their fault, they’re bad people, or they won’t catch up eventually, but holy shit. We haven’t even really begun to feel the social and economic consequences of an entire generation that stays home for a week when the vibes are off.

You’re right, the oldest alphas are 16 now so there’s barely any zoomers left in high school. You were out of school when Covid hit, so obviously I wasn’t talking about you. It’s not that scientific, but the world changes so quickly these days that different age groups have very different experiences that shape their behavior and world view. The generation labels are just a handy way to discuss that.

Suing the school is kinda crazy, but otherwise isn't this not too big a deal about attendance? It was pretty common for me to miss school when I was in high school. I think I'd miss like 45-60 days of school in a school year, if not more. After we graduated, my year had a sort of dinner prom, where they gave out whimsical awards. I'm still proud that I got an award for being a paradox: the most absent student while also somehow being one of the students with the most late days (transport was out of my hands so that was not my fault). I didn't see any point. I studied much better out of school than in school so going to school actively harmed productivity. And I know I'm much better off for the time I spent studying on my own than if I'd spent time in high school. So I generally feel like attendance for high school isn't too big of a deal.

Reply

[-]

kinga_forrester@reddit

You must be misremembering, 45-60 days absent is crazy, there’s only 180 days in the school year. More than 18 days is considered A Big Deal in my area because it gets schools in trouble with the state. 45 days is “call CPS” territory. It would be very unusual for an American public school to allow a student that missed more than a month of school to move up a grade / graduate unless they had cancer or something. Attendance is very important. It sounds like you came out fine, but it’s strongly and directly correlated to educational and life outcomes. Students today being absent at extremely high rates surely contributes to them having the worst test scores in 30 years.

You're either misremembering, came from such a rural area the local population could fit on a single family tree, or are old enough for your experience to be invalidated due to the modern world being vastly different, because having 60 days missing from school in one school year would absolutely raise issues with any location that has an active legal system or any oversight on the education system in the area.

Giving parents even a modicum of power over their kids’ education was a huge mistake. Before if your kid was punished or learned something the parent didn’t like, well, suck it up and fuck off. Now every kid has the special snowflake treatment and can opt out of basically anything including attendance. We need to give our schools power again.

Psychast@reddit

We just need to start restricting who give we degrees to again. It's gotten to the point that High Schools just hand out degrees for having a fucking pulse and SOMETIMES showing up (optional). All because the schools are so over-burdened and become society's fucking whipping boy, mule, breadline, AND babysitter for all but the richest of society (who go to private schools and are not beholden to us poors). Schools used to be respected, degrees used to mean something, now it's like "here's your bullshit slop homework I found the template for online, let's do online quizzes for half your grade in-which you just need to literally be here and answer to pass, don't worry, it doesn't really matter if you're even here, I'll pass you regardless so you're not my problem anymore." If I was hiring, I seriously wouldn't even BLINK if I saw a person with just a HS degree vs someone with none or no education history listed on their resume, there's literally no difference now. If you don't at least have an associate's, I'm assuming you might not even know how to read, that's how worthless your High School degree is now. If the workforce doesn't respect your piece of paper, then your paper is worthless, and you have no leverage. Make highschool grads actually valuable again by failing out losers that don't show up/don't do the work, and now your paper is worth something to people who hire workers, now you can actually leverage that to whip the student body into showing up and doing at least *some* work. Degrees are a currency that schools have been devaluing for decades, it needs to stop before anything gets better.

I think parents can have SOME say, but we also need new laws that broadly protect public schools from lawsuits / force binding arbitration. Basically take qualified immunity away from cops and give it to teachers. Soooo much school district money gets wasted on lawyers. It’s also the source of universally hated “zero tolerance” policies, schools could actually punish bullies and not their victims if they weren’t so worried about lawsuits.

Happy cake day btw. But I'm curious, do you think this is a consequence of parents having to work so much to provide even a decent living? Like, maybe the consequences don't happen right away; but a generation of people having to work constantly to provide even an ok living-standard eventually creates a society where parents just aren't as focused on their children? Or do you think it's a social media problem, maybe? Or do you think it's simply due to Covid and how our society changed from that?

Maybe for some, but most chronically absent kids in my area have financially secure families, often with a stay at home parent. Chronic absenteeism in schools was 15% in 2019, 29% in 2022, and 25% now, so it was definitely the pandemic.

This subreddit is hit and miss, depends on the topics. For example anything related to culture, privacy, politics, etc. You're going to get good opinions and a high level of discussion. Now if you want to discuss dating for example.. You'll get some wild answers. But at least there is a plurality of opinions. For example I could say "As a male with a high body count, I see nothing wrong with girls having a high body count and I know my comment won't end up on -50. What bothers me about modern reddit is the fact that the userbase has been diluted to hell with normies and stupid people. Mobile users. People from Facebook. In 2012 the average reddit user was a white male college student in STEM, atheist, probably a libertarian but the "Obama bailing out the banks after 2008 was a disgrace" libertarian, not "Let's sell kids and privatize roads" libertarian. All that blah blah about "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." -Voltaire" was cringe as fuck, but at least it lead to a good website with a plurality of opinions. Same thing with arr slash atheism being cringe, yes that subreddit was cringe as fuck but if you think about it, it was probably a bunch of 15 years olds who grew up in the bible belt. I give them a pass for being annoying as fuck. Then the normies came in and started using the downvote button as "I disagree". Votes are supposed to reward comments that add to the discussion and punish comments that don't add anything to the discussion. It's basic internet forum etiquette. I think all the main subreddits are trash now, this is one of the few subreddits where at least you can have a civil discussion without getting sent to the shadow realm by a thousand downvotes for doing a wrongthink. Not to mention all the moderators who are obsessed with making a "safe space" by issuing blanket bans. But that's never going to change because reddit has like 60 employees and 10.000 moderators who do it for free, their business system is based around giving mods free reign.

Studies have sown women care as much as men about bodycount, with basically 7 in a lifetime being the upper ceiling of what is considered ok for both men and women. Women on the other hand are much harsher toward low body counts than men are, with most men no giving a fuck if a woman had no prior experience. Other studies have shown women are much less tolerant of bisexuality than men are. So, basically, women are much stricter on bodycount yet act like men are disgusting for even caring...

Honestly, if you care about it, it very much matters and you should talk to your partner or a Psychiatrist about it or something, but if you don't give a shit about how many People your Partner has slept with, it doesn't matter. Really it just comes down to Personal preference, of course a 23 Yo Person with a Body Count of 66 has (assuming the Person started having Intercourse at exactly 18 Yo and consistently found other People in exact cycles) had a new Person to sleep with every 27 Days, wich I think is a lot, for either Gender. Personally I don't care about Bodycount, I'd say say other things are more important to worry about, but thats just me

its the same post as the left one but gender swapped, same age roughly, and the comments are far more negative. no, its not the same post as the one on the right, but it depicts what anon discusses in the greentext above well., arguably better than the post anon initially compares the left post to

I have a slightly different take on this. The advice a double standard due to intrasex competition. That is. If a male has a high body count, he's considered potentially desirable by a large number of women, as sleeping with a lot of women is a signal about his desirability, and as such the advice given, to break up, frees him up for the advice giver (i know it's anonymous, and through the Internet, but the idea stands). E.g. think of how many women a musician sleeps with, or a movie star etc. Whereas advising the man to keep a woman that's promiscuous keeps her out of the mating pool, and potentially removes her as competition for the advice giver. Thoughts?

I mean there might be something like this on a subconscious level, but still it's just a hypocritical stupid af gender bias and NPC behavior. Those people have free will yet always follow their programming

Those replies don't reflect anon's post at all. The left screenshot has 2 replies, one saying that he got the ick from it to bail out, the second one says it's up to anon. On the screen on the right it has 5 replies: 1 saying she was honest and it means a lot, another saying that body count doesn't matter and 2 unrelated.

To be fair, searching for good takes on fucking Reddit is like trying to get clean water out of a rotten-shit-poisoned well.

Make the same thread on any subreddit and you will have the same results, individual disagreements are not a refutation to a majority consensus on a website.

Some people care, some people don't. The top comment on that post is right though. The relationship is new and if this is a major point of concern for the girl, she should end the relationship instead of dragging it out for years just for the guy to propose and for her to be like "Eww, your body count though..." Good fucking riddance!
