Its literally language tricks
That’s what I’m sayinggg
And if you *do* treat it as a competition then that kind of shows you don't actually give a shit about the problem, or at the very least are misguided as hell.
Exactly, soup. It's just so contradictory
It shouldn’t be a competition which gender gets raped more because in the end it’s traumatizing for both genders and should be handled
I hate that shit too, makes absolutely no sense.
also^
@Will-O'-the-Wild There is intense pressure on men to not show emotion in public, to not be vulnerable to others, to essentially "suffer in silence" in regard to any kind of emotional or even physical suffering from popular culture and even basic instinct
It is very difficult for a large majority of men to open up
Especially in a public forum
That is not really what stoic is supposed to mean.
Yes, but it's also difficult for women too
But what I mean by toxic masculinity is like if they cry about something apparently it’s “feminine” or they’re told to “be a man” idk how to explain it 😂 that’s just an example
The topic itself is very sensitive and difficult to open up about
On both sides
I mean the general basic definition from english, not the philosophical definition
Well men do show emotion in public, just not emotion that makes men appear more fragile and vulnerable if that helps
@un chien m'a léché un pbj😳 exactly, and whenever I get upset about something I'm told to stop being such a woman by my boyfriend's friends. It's ridiculous, showing emotion isn't feminine, its human
GG @Braden's Husband, you just advanced to level 4!
Not all men are like this, obviously. But it's sad that some are
and in fact seek men out like that explicitly
Like it's sad how some women are manipulative and can get away with falsely accusing a man of rape and ruining his carrer
Yeah, which I think is sad
Men should be allowed to show emotion without being frowned upon
Oh yeah, society and the legal system in many countries currently overvalues female to male accusations of rape
Although a big portion of it is trial by social media
Which is ridiculous
Absolutely
By social media, do you mean online?
Which if that's the case, that is ridiculous. People can be persuaded and manipulated online very easily
I mean the social media "influencers" that convict people of something well before the trial date or the "Twitterati" that engage in organized disinformation campaigns
Ah yes, I know what you mean
So acquittal means nothing at all
Which is still what I said before, people are manipulated so easily
Your job is till gone, your life is still ruined and most of your friends still hate
Is <#523835225953009667> for debates outside of the channels for specific debates?
@Braden's Husband yea, it’s the same thing with skin care, some men think it’s feminine to wear face masks and take care of your self
It’s a little weird
Very weird
Ok there is skin care, and then there is whatever the fuck wearing a face mask does, because taking care of your skin is super fucking easy
