What are some double standards in society for men ?

Jump

  • If you're a dude and your older female boss forces you to have sex with her under threat of losing your job, everyone just says "that's awesome what's the problem?".

  • I'm a pretty built dude and my coworkers bring it up constantly. Like my appearance is a regular topic of conversation. It's not unflattering or rude but if it were a woman they were talking about everyone would think it was super weird to have, for example, the CEO commenting on some woman's appearance all the time, even to say something positive.

  • I'm about 30. I have friends my age with young (toddler) daughters. They've had the police called on them walking with their own child. I've had the police called on me watching their daughter for them (these are friends I've had for 12 years, I'm basically her uncle).

    Men are assumed to be predators if they are near children.

    • What was "the incident" at your work place?

  • Dude cops get fired for assault in one town and hired in the next town over.

    • What book that hasn't been adapted into a TV show or movie do you think deserves an adaptation?

    Jump

  • Always felt like that Eragon series could have been good. Too bad they never made a movie for it. Never once. I'm sure it would have been solid if they had. But they didn't.

    Personal game that I actually spent time with? Pokemon Red on the original, very very old Gameboy. Like the grey one, before the gameboy color.

    • Do you have a form of government you invented/conceived, either as an idea or for fiction (or a favorite from someone else)? How does it work?

    Jump

  • That is so cool. Things like this make me realize how much I miss school. Like, actually miss some of the learning and studying aspects. If only grad school in the USA didn't cost a small fortune, I'd love to continue education for purposes like this.

    Thanks for sharing!

  • This is fascinating. I have no doubt you had to debate this a lot and are already aware of some of the shortcomings of the system you created, but in general I really like this idea. Antagonistic Resignation is especially great.

    Basically game-theory everything because it's always safe to assume that there will eventually be a bad actor and that bad actor will extort loopholes found.

    • What is the OLDEST online account that you currently still own and still use somewhat frequently?

    Jump

  • Gotta be my RuneScape account from 2006. Thanks to OSRS being a thing, I still play on it.

    • What's the craziest thing you have ever seen someone do on public transit?

  • People just pissing on the floor in NYC/Boston subways. Not really that unusual.

  • This guy shows up weekly. His accounts keep getting banned. He posts things like this, and then tells everyone trying to offer real advice that it all doesn't work for him. It's attention seeking and he doesn't actually want help. This is basically a troll post.

    It's always more money.

    • Heat Death of the Internet

  • Wait, is rarbg back? It was taken down a while back, did someone actually resurrect it?

    • FOSS Spotify client that isn't Spotube?

    • if you are a nurse or know nurses, do you / they feel sore after each shift?

    Jump

  • My girlfriend is a nurse. 7-7 shifts, days and nights, it alternates.

    She's gotten used to it, isn't sore from the work anymore. Make sure you have good shoes. Do some research, ask your coworkers - having the right shoes makes a big difference when you're on your feet for 13-14 hours straight. Add some electrolytes to your water bottle. Doesn't need to be high in sugar unless you also aren't eating much too. Moving and standing and being active all day takes energy and hydration. Having some simple electrolytes and enough calories will also make a huge difference in how you feel at the end of the day. You're basically on a 12 hour hike every shift.

    • Meta to pay $1.4 billion settlement with Texas over facial recognition and photo tags - The Verge

  • And all that money will be put back into infrastructure and health care and education for the people of Texas, right?

    ....right??

    • Gen Z consumers rely on parents amid inflation squeeze

    Jump

  • Because this article isn't written for Gen Z readers. It's written for Boomers, the largest consumer bracket of random bullshit web articles like this, and they'll read that line and think "yeah, dumb kids, they should just learn to budget, that's what I had to do" and they'll feel slightly superior and slightly satisfied and come back and click on the next article tomorrow, driving ad revenue because they're too dumb to use ad blockers, and that's literally the whole point of all of this.
