  • Having been a man my whole life, I have never struggled to get into any female-dominated hobby group etc. It’s not an issue whatsoever.

    Maybe female-dominated friend groups, but those usually contain more men than their male-dominated counterparts.

    Some men just reaaaally wanna portray themselves as victims of gender discrimination.


  • Is it problematic? yes. Is it evil? no.

    As long as these gender-exclusive spaces don’t preclude people from participating in wider society, it’s fine. I can live just fine knowing I’m not welcome in womens safe spaces. I think most women are okay with not being invited to the boys weekend.

    Just overall this seems like a non-issue. Where I draw the line is things like, men not letting women into certain jobs, or barring them from voting, etc. Basically if you prevent people from participating in society in some way. That has nothing to do with people wanting their own spaces.

    I know it’s a joke but this misconception can harm plus I’m a pedantic piece of shit and can’t help myself: ADHD medication is not “basically meth”. While ADHD medication is stimulants, methamphetamine is almost never prescribed (for anything). methamphetamine has a much longer duration, much higher addiction potential, causes more euphoria, and, when the effect is finally over, a much worse dip because it depletes serotonin.

    Most ADHD medication is some version of either amphetamine or methylphenidate.

    sure but on this server, socialists, anarchists and other leftists are regularly called libs by some if they say negative things about China or Stalin or whatever. It’s really not used herr to talk about proponents of liberal capitalism anymore. Kinda lost its meaning

    the whole idea that discussing politics is lame is a neoliberal brainworm.

    Don’t discuss politics with your family, just enjoy the time! — okay weird but sure

    Don’t talk politics with your friends — what the hell why not

    No politics at work — that’s a deeply political place wtf are we doing
