Society, in general, and through the lens of popular media, doesnât think men are, or should be whole people. In general, women in media are often insecure, afraid, and act irrationally and emotionally because of past trauma. These traits are often part of a good person or a main character. Even horny thoughts can be part of âgood guysâ when theyâre women. Girls and women can oogle attractive men on screen and make comments without it being a character flaw.
Men on the other hand are stoic and in control of their emotions and themselves. Losing control of temper, lashing out physically or emotionally as a male character is permitted mostly as a failure in a âfailure and redemptionâ arc, or as a primary characteristic of a bad guy.
Fear, insecurity and trauma are often even unacceptable for villains to exhibit, let alone good guys. Horny thoughts are COMPLETELY unacceptable, and only the sleaziest of bad guys or minions will express any. Men should be attracted to the personâs mind only, not their body.
When good guys share their feelings, itâs often a story about a past trauma (daughter died, father never proud) where the emotional consequences are barely expressed in their day to day actions. At this point theyâre permitted to shed a single tear, to show theyâre deep and emotional. Thatâs generally what people expect when they ask a guy to share their emotions, a simple narrative that doesnât affect most of day to day life, a VERY restrained display of emotions, then back to stoic male.
Anything more is permitted only for children and women.
I donât believe itâs a conspiracy against men. I mostly understand where most of these tropes came from. For example it used to be that men on screen expressed horny thoughts and oogled women. However it was often from a perspective where the women had no agency and were completely objectified. This objectification of women was also present in society. Punishing men who objectify women and praising men who donât was a big part of the change required from society by womenâs liberation, entry into the workforce and feminism as a whole. Female characters expressing horny thoughts or oogling men is part of showing more compete female agency since sexuality is such a huge part of the human mindset. Nothing here is a conspiracy against men.
Weâre at a good point in history to start showing that men can be whole and complete persons on screen and in real life. And I hope we start seeing it.
We had those types of tests but as to what type of secondary school you would fit in. I of course did not take that test, because I already had a plan. And those who did, ignored it anyway. Not sure what is worse. These job tests, or what people use as a reason for their decision, or the lack of one. Studying computer network technics, two in my class were actually interested in computers. The rest: ,Well, I play videogames, so I figured I could do well here."

And what did Nintendo do? DMCA people? Yes, thats what they did. A DMCA is a piece of paper that says âremove x shit right nowâ. It doesnât mean anything else, its a promise of consequence. The Pirate Bay is in no way similar. Are we hosting content links that directly link to torrents? No? Cool.
Itâs IMO an existential threat for lemmy.world. Sure, a big corporation could handle it, but here weâre talking about an instance which will be forced to shut down if copyright lawyers knock at the adminsâ doors. Federation is a double-edged sword, it means technically you also host all the content thatâs being published on instances that are federated with you, so in particular if piracy communities donât do a good enough job cleaning up lemmy.world will be liable for that content since it will be physically on this server too.
Naaa. it really isn't hard to teach the left hand to use a righthanded mouse. I got used to it within a day.
I'll take some minor awkwardness that is easily overcome vs being someone's property and being denied a livelihood any day.
The older I get, the less a problem being left handed has become. Mostly now it just results in bad handwriting and occasionally awkwardly holding something. But yeah, it sucks when youâre in school.
Same, scissors and tools that companies try to make too ergonomic are the only problems now. Well that and on the rare occasions that I have to hand write stuff it still gets all over the side of my hand.
Personally, Iâm just incredibly jaded and have literally no faith in anything anymore. Youâre expecting that the feds and state governments will be willing to enforce the 14th amendment at the risk of personal safety. Iâm expecting that theyâre all gonna raise a big huff and fuss but then pussy out about actually blocking trump from running for president.
