You seem to be plastered a lot. XD

Sorry, that seems rude

I'm an alcoholic is what I do xD

but together we polished off a bottle of Rosé and now he's in bed and I'm on the rum

Awww, I kinda worry about that. Lol

so does my dad, it's like I have issues or something, I know it's a thing I need to work on in future, but right now while life is still shit it's a bit difficult to just abandon things that make you feel good.

probably not a discussion for debate though xD

Maybe not

Have you ever heard of the film whale Rider? It's kind of about the slow death of a culture just like that.

yeah, I've seen it, good movie

One of my favorites. Amazingly memorable

sadly culture is something that is naturally lost to time, and I feel like globalization has had a hand in speeding up that process.

Yeah. Me too.

There's been some great traditions and cultures lost to it

I think all non-Western culture is slowly being eaten away

Of course, we're getting changed too

That didn't come out right

But our culture is kinda over-riding everyone else's

Then again, we also did away with some reeeeeally nasty stuff

I think a lot of people who scream out "cultural appropriation" do so in an attempt to preserve such cultures, but not sharing culture will do the opposite and make it more likely to die out.

That's possibly true

I think everywhere needs to revitalize the best parts of their traditional culture or we'll see a day when it's all ancient history and you won't be able to tell any culture from any other

Ever seen a modern Bollywood film?

They basically look like Hollywood films, but cheaper.

They aren't distinct anymore

you could say the same for a lot of Asian film, used to be very distinct but not as much anymore

even in games, a lot of old school JRPGs are being lost to more western gaming trends.

less turn based, linear with a tight narrative and more open world real time with a more "do what you want"attitude.

Yeah, I get that. I'm not so worried about the rpgs. More the stuff that is only really preserved in cultural festivals

Today's topic will be "what do you make of this study that looks suspiciously like a bunch of lies?"

Ever if somebody did a study on the prevalence of rape fantasies in women hmmm

Ummmm where's the actual study? It just links to an abstract

So, the article actually *is* the study... The abstract is just what they want to say about wording (people think different things when you change the wording of something and possibly the meaning, there's a shocker, anyone remember when they changed the wording to 'would you have sex with a woman who had a drink and counted men as rapists who said yes?)

They are just saying what they want things to mean. I doubt they've given the specific wording of the questions, nor is the site thecut.com reputable as a study source

u/professor_chad posted a new link in /r/MensRights It's a false comfort to say the murder and rape of women is caused by sexism - https://redd.it/aix10z

Thoughts?

Did she deserve it?

No
