One thing's for sure - reducing women to nothing but shallow height obsessed monsters (projecting your own insecurities on to a whole gender, the individuals of which you know nothing about, and worse - aren't interested in finding out) isn't it.
What will make you attractive to women? Stop acting like a victim - there are plenty of short and ugly guys in healthy loving relationships, your external body isn't why you're not in a relationship, also, you are not owed or entitled to a relationship. Quit the toxic manosphere and any other space that confirms this bullshit bias for you cold turkey and never look back. If you can afford to, get therapy. Work on becoming a person other people would actually want to be around, rather than a stereotypical incel (you might not think of yourself as one, but you absolutely come across as one).
You're clearly not interested in hearing any of this, but that is the truth, not this red/black pill bullshit you're regurgitating.
I'm all for avoiding people in general, but I think her actual quote is even better:
"My secret to a long life has been staying away from men. They're just more trouble than they're worth," she says. "I also made sure that I got plenty of exercise, eat a nice warm bowl of porridge every morning and have never gotten married."
I recently watched Beyond Utopia which featured a different pastor who helps people make it out of NK. He briefly goes in to the human trafficking aspect of the underground railroad, but even just seeing how it all happens, it shouldn't come as a surprise that some of the "good guys" are also abusing those poor people, and not only those who are openly there to exploit them.
The only solution is to be rid of the dictators and states that create the conditions that not only enable but encourage this to happen, for their own gain.
I don't disagree that both main parties are just puppets performing for the same master, but voting 3rd party is still participating in the system they have designed with the same illusion of choice, which is missing the point entirely. Still do it if you can, it's literally the bare minimum, but don't expect it to achieve anything in its own right, because it won't.
The point of pointing out the illusion of choice is for people to realise that the whole thing is a sham - elections are theatre to keep the population from turning on those actually in control - the rich. Pinning all your hopes on elections and elected representatives in a system designed to work for the benefit of a group you don't belong to, is never going to help you out of it. This kind of thinking is still falling in to their trap.
Swift can go fuck herself as far as I'm concerned, but the idea that her, her music, and her fans are treated the same as men in the industry, their work, and their fans, is demonstrably false and born out of nothing but wilful ignorance and privilege.
Yeah at this point I’m surprised how news organizations can still be on X
Why? The people left on there are the ideal target audience for propaganda, plus if it gets them clicks (=money) which is what they're in the business for, why would they walk away? Expecting ethics in journalism under capitalism is futile (sure, individual ethical journalists exist, but they aren't the ones we're talking about nor do they represent the industry).
Hey OP, if all else fails, there seem to be a whole mess of people in these comments who would be more than happy to give a rapist a job, so he could always go and babysit their kids, or drive their sister home late at night in a taxi, or be the orderly watching their sedated aunt who is recovering in hospital, and so on, I'm sure none of them would mind any of that..
The "justice" system completely failing to address sexual and gendered violence doesn't mean that violence didn't happen (what is well documented is that both police and "justice" system regularly either dismiss accusations outright, or worse - put the victim through such abuse, known as a "second rape", that many don't even bother complaining in the first place because the additional trauma is enough to push them over the edge).
Also the fact that women are 50% of the population doesn't change a person choosing to make themsleves a threat to that 50%, nor does it excuse them from facing the consequences of their choices. Why is it that children deserve to be protected but women don't?
There are, especially nowadays, plenty of jobs where you hardly even interact with other people face to face, so their gender doesn't matter. There are hundreds if not thousands of ways this person can still be employed and make a living (hell, being an open and proud sexual abuser won't even keep a man from becoming president)
I also have to wonder if you're as concerned with rape victims being isolated from work places where they don't feel safe (something I assure you happens significantly more than a rapist having their job threatened in any real sense, again, because most rapists aren't even convicted, and are free to continue to live their lives), as you are about rapists being somehow deserving of all of this consideration.
So again - if you're going to commit a heinous crime, you should be willing to deal with the consequences, even if the patriarchy has convinced you you shouldn't have to, because in our society in around 98% of cases rapists walk away with their life unchanged. Having your choice of workplaces limited for the safety of the other employees is not a punishment. It is a perfectly reasonable consequence, a loss of a privilege that was never guaranteed, unlike the bodily autonomy of another person, which was violated. Restorative justice isn't about just keeping people out of prison, it is about keeping a community safe.
While I agree that restorative justice is always better than punitive justice, nowhere in the post does OP mention that any justice was served at all, and statistically, it is almost certain that the rapist never saw a day of prison, and potentially isn't even on the sex offenders list.
They also never said they wanted them punished, but rather, that the safety of women be ensured, and in the same way known paedophiles shouldn't be put in positions where they have access to children, it isn't unreasonable to at least wish that a known rapist wouldn't be put in a position where they have access to potential victims. This is not punishment, it is consequences for actions.
No, the failure is capitalism and those corporations not wanting to be regulated owning the governments making the regulations.
Which is precisely why any regulation under capitalism is toothless bunk, since it is designed by and for the corporations, to make sure they can keep making money despite it.
Once in a while having a regulation actually come in in time for it to have any impact is like a broken clock being right twice a day, not proof that regulation under capitalism do anything (you claim that teflon now being regulated means regulations work, but can you seriously not see that it taking that long to get bare minimum regulation after decades of pollution and poisoning of consumers is proof that regulations are merely a lip service paid by government to the public to pretend like they're acting in our favour?).
The point isn't - don't regulate industry, it's - at the point where industry has control of government, regulation is meaningless and always in their service, otherwise they wouldn't concede (a little like greenwashing - the oil companies commit to producing x amount of green energy, but what they don't tell you is that that x amount is a tiny fraction of their entire production capability, which they'll continue to use oil for. We're never going to get them to stop using oil, because they just don't have to, no legislation will ever be allowed to pass that will stop them. Which is why eating the rich and blowing up their pipelines is the answer, but I digress).
Lol, and here I was thinking this was about a hot water bottle, a thing that makes sense to bring to bed (and which I, a chronic pain sufferer must have at all times), not a drinking water bottle, which I think only the young with their still-strong bladders can consider a reasonable thing to bring to bed 😂
