Does it fall to the good guys, though? The ones who already don’t rape and stand up to their peers who have toxic ideas?
Yes, precisely. If the majority of men don't change the culture by standing up for women and against low-key misogyny that's everywhere then nothing will change and they aren't really "good guys".
And, really, are you reaching anyone who needs to hear it with rhetoric like this?
Dunno. But there's certainly a LOT of misogynists on Lemmy and I'm going to keep pushing back against them. They probably think they're feminists, too. Quoting bear statistics, saying "not all men", equivocating gender and race relations, telling women to "tone down" their complains so they don't alienate rapists and potential rapists.
Sure, not all men, but quite frankly I’m tired of having to be “one of the good ones”.
Lol, don't fret. With an attitude like that, you aren't.

We aren't talking about race, honey. If they think you can just swap labels you REALLY don't understand what's going on. No surprise.
If your bean juice is burnt, you made it wrong. Turn off the hot plate as soon as it's done brewing in traditional drip style. Primary cause of burnt coffee.
Exactly. Self sufficiency is definitely a myth. Humans cannot survive alone for long. You simply cannot make tools that will keep you alive for long. You'll have to venture back to civilization to get anything worked via metal at the very least. Just the basic crafts for clothing, shelter, tools and food is more than any one person can handle. It took whole tribes and villages even at the earliest points.
Now if you mean: how can I live in a cabin off the grid with minimal contact (1-2x a year) then that's doable.
If we get Trump, I'm fairly certain we won't have another real national election again. It'll be like Russia with massive "voter fraud" bills and EOs passed that completely neuter the ability to vote. The treasonous Project 2025 would gut the government and we'll probably get that Schedule F bullshit that brings back the spoils system.
So while Biden is wonderful (he's done a bunch of good stuff recently at least), Trump is so far down the fascist ladder there really isn't any choice. I'm not excited to vote for Biden, I'm terrified of Trump being elected.
Thanks. I'm not sure what it is but any talk of men-women gender privilege gets a LOT of flak from pro-men posters on Lemmy. Unsure if it's instance-based or just general userbase outside LGBT+ instances. I've blocked a few bad ones but I see the flak from across a wide array of instances.
I try to push back hard against disingenuous arguments to try to clue people in. I've tried what this thread suggests, and still do try to use logic and honest discussion but when I see the same dumb argument 5 times in a thread, I lose patience.
Do tell how I am being transphobic. I did not speak of sex nor cis/trans distinctions. And binary trans people (cannot speak to nonbinary) have experience as both genders.
Also how is this pointless? The entire discussion revolves around the Patriarchy: a social system that gives dominance to men. Gender is at the heart of it. Trying to apply this discussion to other fields falls short because it is discussing the nuances of gender politics and the Patriarchy in particular. Which is why trying to overlay this discussion onto race or nationality doesn't make sense (referring to other common arguments, not this thread in particular).
Although Machiavelli has been widely condemned as a misogynist, his three central political works feature dozens of women who engage in efficacious and often praiseworthy political action. To appreciate fully the character and value of their activity and ultimately Machiavelli's views on women as potential political agents, one must first carefully attend to his conception of animo. Usually translated as “spiritedness,” animo represents the natural assertiveness, energy, and resoluteness that forms the basis of virtù if properly disciplined – usually by a city's modes and orders. By examining the plight of women, however, Machiavelli turns to those persons who stand outside the city's political institutions and thus tend to exercise unbridled animo, for better or for worse. In addition to revealing his deep preoccupation with political outsiders, Machiavelli's appreciation of the political problems associated with womanhood also discloses one of his most radical impieties-the denaturalization of gender norms, an impiety we are only beginning to appreciate today
🤷 I am definitely not a philosopher or political scientist.
My cynical attitude says commercial real estate corporations will probably try to pivot to residential real estate and gouge us all when corporate real estate doesn't pan out.

Carbon dioxide dissolved in water creates some carbonic acid. Don't think they meant they added carbonic acid to water to carbonate drinks.
