But as usual when it comes to discussing womenâs issues, it leaves out a very important part, namely, the role women play when it comes to eliciting this sort of behavior in men.
You can change the argument all you want, but let's not forget you actually said this. Literal victim blaming.
As far as the other half goes, I never said I don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot. Men have it rough in life too, I know, I'm one of them. That's why the only thing I mentioned was the hypocrisy of your statement.
Bear attacks are incredibly rare. Even brown/grizzly bears just want to be left alone, the only bear that actively hunts humans are polar bears. If you're attacked by a grizzly, it's because it thinks you're a threat, not food. Now, true, if you do piss off the bear, then you're probably fucked. So I'm not saying bears aren't dangerous, but that their level of danger can be predicted and avoided to at least an extent.
You can't really say that about people. Most men are good people and would help you, so on average they're safer. But unlike bears, you have to ask, "what if they're one of the bad ones?", especially so if you're alone in a forest with them without the punishment of society to deter them. I mean, 1 in 6 women in America have experienced either attempted or successful sexual violence, and again, that's in a society where they can actually get punished for it. So it's not exactly a statistical anomaly that the man you're stuck in a forest with is a bad actor.
The question wasn't would you rather share a cave with a man or a bear. No, you have an entire forest to avoid the bear in. Unless you're for some reason in a forest with a polar bear, the bear is going to leave you alone assuming you don't piss it off or threaten it. Being eaten alive (it would absolutely kill you first) is simply an avoidable threat. Predictability and avoidability is the key here.

Haha yeah, it's the stupid women's fault that they need to be afraid of men drugging or raping them. Holy victim blaming, Batman!
When a man is useful, they'll exploit him. When a man is neutral, they'll ignore him. When he is dangerous, they will court him.
Lol, I'm sorry, but did you just make a sweeping negative statement about women while trying to argue that sweeping negative statements are sexist?
Sure. Because you were able to find success, that means everyone should also be able to do it, no matter how different their circumstances are (like the fact that a game genre may be more niche, or that you actually have to pay for games).
You seem like the type that unironically tells people to just pull themselves up by their bootstraps.
To be completely honest I see this comment sarcastically significantly more often than not. I mean I can't remember the last time I've opened a political post and this wasn't the top comment.
That explains so much. I used to play legacy console but was always confused about why I wasn't traveling as far as I should have been when going to the nether.
I would imagine that if you've never heard of anybody doing that where you live, it's a culture thing. Certain places have different practices on how they handle dogs. I want to stress though, much of the US doesn't just do it because it's simple and easy without any regard to the animal (at least not any good dog owners). To you, it may look like a prison, but to a dog properly crate trained, it's more like a safe and comfy bed they can relax in. The positive effects crating can have on a dog is heavily backed by science, and I'd recommend looking into it, it's actually kinda fascinating.
Of course, that all assumes it's being done properly. Crates are a tool, and like any tool, they can be misused and abused. So it's not always where they feel safest, it all depends on how you train them and certain issues a dog might have (claustrophobia, heavy anxiety, etc.). Generally, from what I understand, you never want to associate the crate with negative emotions or consequences (i.e. don't send your dog to the crate as punishment). It's supposed to be a safe place, not a jail cell.
"Over here [in Heroic] it's free-to-play friendly, by a considerable margin," niru begins, talking over a graphic showing the player distribution between the world types, with Heroic leading in global MapleStory by some margin. "Pay-to-win is accepted here [in Interactive World], but the free-to-play experience is awful and that's what needs to be improved right now."
(Edit: it's not made clear in that quote so I'll just mention it here, they play in an Interactive world)
I get addiction is real and it's not easy to quit for some people. What I don't get is that the game apparently has a different world type that is just better and he's actively choosing not to play it instead. That's like picking to play P2W poker where you can buy better hands and then complaining that it's not fun when you could just go play real poker at the next table instead. At some point I just lose a lot of my sympathy for them.
I've certainly never needed or wanted to crate a dog, my dogs sleep in bed with me every night. Some dogs are destructively anxious when alone and need it unfortunately. I only know one person who does crate their dog (their dog is like I described above), and they hate that they need to. It's not as common as you think in my experience at least.
I'll admit I wasn't aware that was an American-only thing though.
Understandable, but I'll be real, I don't see it ever happening in our lifetime. Much like YouTube, nothing they do seems to cause them any meaningful backlash. The CEO could come over and personally shit in somebody's food, and they would probably continue paying for premium.
That recent incident with the acorn suggests that cops will start blasting because of unexpected sounds of nature. They shot the car not the tree, we're the ones that need to be afraid here!
