blindbunny , in Extreme Misogyny in Incels Probably Not Caused by Sexual Frustration

My running theory is most of these people are queer to some degree. They end up hating women because they don’t have the communication skills to express what they want out of a relationship. When they become unfulfilled then they blame it on the person they think is supposed to be fulfilling them. Sorry boys if you want your SO to peg and domme you you need to tell them.

mojo ,

That could be a cute romance story. Two incels bond over hating women and SJWs. They get together to play Valorant or browse 4chan in bed together while posting gore. They turn to each other and speak in green text and kiss.

blindbunny ,

It really would(n’t) be but that takes some self awareness and reflection many of them simply don’t have the skills to achieve. I’d assume once you have achieved that amount of self awareness you stop hating women but maybe I’m being hopeful.

While I’ve experienced some pretty horrible misogyny from some gay men, I don’t think this is even close to being accurate (and is one more way to make queer people the enemy). There are plenty of straight men who hate women but still want to fuck them. Those things can coexist, unfortunately.

blindbunny ,

They can, unfortunately. Oof wasn’t my intention to make queer people the enemy in any form.

But I’ve known queer cis men to be misogynistic, granted not to Andrew Tates degree, because they were embarrassed to express their sexual desires.

So this very well could be me with a hammer looking for a nail.

You know, it wasn’t that long ago when it was pretty common for closeted gay men to overcompensate at hiding their gayness to the point of sexism and homophobia. People like that do still exist. I can imagine some incels very well being queer, and acting out either in compensation or confusion and frustration over their own feelings having not come to terms with their sexuality.

frickineh ,

I didn’t say that there are no incels who are closeted. Just that I don’t think that it’s anywhere near “most” of them.

Yeah, I really don’t think Andrew Tate’s issues spring from a latent attraction to men.

rambaroo ,

In fact the study shows that the most misogynistic men were the ones getting laid the most.

DingoBilly ,

What? This sort of sounds like some shit an incel would say.

Ddhuud ,

So… what you’re saying is more or less that misogyny in incels is probably caused by sexual frustration?

SCB ,

You don’t need to be queer to enjoy being dominated by a woman. Kink takes all sexual attractions and genders, as long as everyone is consenting.

Sniper ,

The issue is that these guys don’t have SOs… plus it’s kinda homophobic and disrespectful to imply that just cause someone hasn’t been in a relationship they must be gay.

There was a second Republican primary debate?

Nope.

Miqo , in Threats to Tigard-Tualatin Sch. Dist.

OP is a vaccine conspiracy theorist and the tabloid they sha red is anti-trans shit. Here’s a more reliable source:

I think Redux first break the story and they got threats

SteveDinn , in Epic Games is laying off about 830 employees, divesting Bandcamp
@SteveDinn@lemmy.ca avatar

I could honestly care less about the video games, but the Bandcamp news is devastating. Is there anywhere else where you can buy lossless DRM-free music?

Chickenstalker ,

Gaming is worth FOUR times of movies. If you for some reason think mobile gaming is not gaming, it is still worth TWICE of Hollywood. You should care more about gaming. Hollywood is dying and AI will make it die faster. Gaming is the future of entertaiment.

havokdj ,

Buddy look, I have played video games my entire life, but video games are not going to ever be the only form of entertainment.

Music has always, ALWAYS held the highest rung of entertainment and expression in my life. I could give less a shit about the hole Epic Games is digging for themselves.

Without music, I legitimately have no reason to live. The creation and observation of music has given me motivation and purpose in life in ways that nothing else has ever done.

spectradawn77 , in Sen. Dianne Feinstein, an 'icon for women in politics,' dies at 90, source confirms

Everyone is like, she should’ve retired… But WHY!? People kept voting her in, she has all this power, all this money/control, top of the line health care, etc., etc. Who would ever leave that!? Unless you’re not a psychopath narcissist after knowing how freaking different the “1%” live?

Same thing with RBG.

Only thing that will change are the rules. And good luck with that…

medgremlin ,

I went looking for better information and I found the initial study published in Nature in 2016 and based on Japanese news sources it does look like the “vaccination” delivery is going into clinical trials soon. The study was quite interesting and the proposed mechanism of action makes sense and was tested both in vitro and in vivo. Here’s the link to the 2016 article. (It’s kind of dense on the renal physiology and immunology side of things, but the science is sound and potentially can be extended to treat humans with kidney disease in the future.)

Kolanaki , in Uber, Grubhub and DoorDash must pay NYC delivery workers an $18 minimum wage
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

To those who live there: How does $18/hour in NYC compare to $20/hour in California (for the fast food thing recently passed here)? Is that a living wage there?

Rekhyt ,

Not a resident of either but it’s worth mentioning that this is NYC not NY state and California probably has suburban and rural areas that are much, much cheaper cost of living than NYC.

Artaca ,

Household income for me and my wife was around $150k and we got priced out of the city. A lot of Dashers take late night trains deep deep outside of the city, or they live with half a dozen other Dashers on alternating schedules, sharing beds.

j4k3 , in McCarthy’s last-ditch plan to keep the government open collapses, making a shutdown almost certain
@j4k3@lemmy.world avatar

Failure to do their jobs and negotiate should result in automatic removal from office. Republicans are fascist traitors and whores to 750 parasitic worthless billionaires. The whole lot of them are modern privateer criminals stealing from the rest of us.

jimmux ,

In a lot of parliamentary systems that is what happens. In Australia it can result in a double dissolution election, in which every elected representative can potentially lose their job. The threat of that seems pretty effective at guaranteeing supply. Our conservatives would absolutely cripple the functions of government if they could.

bobman , in Sen. Dianne Feinstein, an 'icon for women in politics,' dies at 90, source confirms

That’s a pretty shitty icon.
