You're about 11 years late on this one. A white woman named Rachel Dolezal already did this, and she wasn't doing it as satire. She genuinely identified as Black, rose to president of the Spokane NAACP, taught African studies at a university, and listed herself as Black on city applications. Her parents finally went public in 2015 and revealed she was a blond-haired, fair-skinned white woman.
The reaction was immediate and universal: you can't just identify as Black. That's not how this works. Your biology matters. You are what you were born as.
Interesting framework. Wonder why it only applied that one time.
@theamelia___ One or two in the right place? Sure. But at a certain saturation level you stop being a person with tattoos and start looking like a New York City subway car from 1982.
There are over 4 million content creators on OnlyFans. The overwhelming majority are women selling to men. Male creators make up roughly 14% of the platform, and of those, only about 12% are straight men making content for women. The other 88% are producing content for gay men.
So the heterosexual female market for paid male sexual content is so close to zero that it might actually be zero.
Billions of dollars flow through that platform every year and almost none of it is women paying to look at men.
Nobody who has ever used a dating app will find this surprising, and yet somehow it's still controversial to point out.
I think people should be allowed to say "retarded."
Here's why.
We retired the word because the principle is you shouldn't use medical conditions as casual insults.
Great. So when are we coming for "cancer on the team," "lame," "psycho," "schizo," "OCD," "bipolar," "hysterical," "crippled," "paralyzed," "senile," "spastic," "blind to," and "deaf to"?
Never? Okay. Then it was never about the principle. One word got a campaign. The rest got a pass.
You either retire the whole category or admit the line is arbitrary. You can't ban one word, say "crippled by debt" in the next breath, and pretend you're standing on principle.
Cancer kills millions of people a year and we call annoying coworkers "a cancer on the team" without thinking twice.
Schizophrenia ruins lives and "schizo" is casual slang. "Lame" literally means unable to walk.
"Hysterical" was a medical diagnosis used to institutionalize women. Nobody's organized a campaign against any of them.
One word got singled out because one advocacy group ran a better campaign than the others. That's not a principle. That's a lobby. And the fact that every other word in the same category stays in rotation is the proof.
You're right, 8 families were annihilated by men. And every single time, the entire country, men included, agreed that those men were evil. No support groups. No "he was failed by the system" TikToks. No online movement arguing he deserved compassion. Just universal condemnation and a prison sentence.
Now do Lindsay Clancy. A woman strangled three children and a significant portion of the internet decided she was the victim. Nurses are making videos calling her innocent. Women are dumping their boyfriends for not agreeing. That's what people have an issue with. Not that a woman did it. That other women are defending it.
@Susan_E_J_USA Yes, absolutely. But I need the following:
The thermostat stays at 68. Non-negotiable. I don't care if civilization depends on it, I'm not being subjugated and sweating.
Lindsay Clancy's own defense team isn't arguing she's innocent. She admitted she killed her three children.
Her attorney offered to put that admission in writing.
The trial isn't about whether she did it. It's about whether she was mentally responsible when she did.
This is a friggn ER nurse advocating harder for this woman's innocence than her own lawyer is.
These people are insane.
"Asking men not to harm women is apparently unrealistic." Who told you that? We arrest them. We convict them. We imprison them. We register them. We take their kids. We put their names on public databases. We passed VAWA. We fund shelters, hotlines, and task forces specifically for this.
"Predict which man is dangerous." That's not something society invented to oppress women. That's called awareness, and we recommend it to everyone, including men, because crime exists and pretending it shouldn't isn't a safety plan.
"Never become angry." There's literally an entire cultural movement built around validating women's anger. Books, podcasts, TED talks, hashtags. You can be angry. Everyone knows you can be angry. You're being angry right now and nobody's stopping you.
Women are told they're perfect the way they are by literally every corporation, media campaign, and self-help book in existence. Body positivity is a billion-dollar industry built entirely around telling women they're enough.
Men get told to hit the gym, make more money, grow up, and stop complaining. Nobody's running a Dove Real Beauty campaign for a 5'7" guy making $40K.
And the "only valued for appearance" thing is wild when every other movie has a man on a steroid cycle doing a shirtless scene that has absolutely nothing to do with the plot. Hollywood hasn't let a male lead keep his shirt on since 2008.
"Let the opponent decide" means a 16-year-old girl gets to choose between racing a biological male or publicly refusing and becoming the most hated person in her school district by Friday.
That's not a compromise. That's making a teenager absorb the political hit you're too rich to take yourself.
You're a billionaire. Take a position. Don't hand the grenade to a high school sophomore and call it empowerment.
Dip shit.
There's a tipping point with tattoos where you stop looking like someone who has tattoos and start looking like something a dermatologist would want to biopsy.
@AnthonyG0528 There's a threshold where tattoos stop looking like a choice and start looking like something that's spreading.
She past that threshold. A lifeguard would ask her to get out of the pool.
If there's no meaningful biological difference between males and females in sports, then there's no reason for the WNBA to exist.
You can't say "let biological males play in the women's league" without also saying "there's no reason to have a women's league." Those are the same sentence.
Rapinoe is essentially arguing that the WNBA should let in the very thing it was built to separate from, and somehow not notice that she just made the case for folding the league entirely.
The lack of basic logic in their position is nothing short of breathtaking.
@quesadaaa_ Arlington National Cemetery is 639 acres of men who never protected anyone, apparently. Just 400,000 guys who all tripped and fell into the same field for no reason.
Nobody's dumping women because a woman committed murder. They're dumping women because their girlfriend watched a woman strangle three children and picked Team Mom. Those are not the same thing, and you know that.
If your boyfriend spent a week defending a guy who killed three kids, you wouldn't need the internet to tell you what to do. You'd already be packing.
Imagine strapping yourself to a ceiling so it holds your entire body weight, flopping around for 20 minutes, and then telling men they're insecure for not joining.
That's not a workout. That's a Peter Pan audition with a monthly membership.
You'd get more exertion jumping on a hotel bed. At least the mattress isn't helping you back up.
"No one wants men anymore."
I'd love to take this seriously but every 30 seconds a new woman posts a tearful car video because a man she got coffee with once said "let's hang out again" instead of "I need to see you again."
The entire female wing of social media is a 24/7 surveillance feed of women processing every micro-interaction they've ever had with a man they spoke to for 20 minutes.
Nobody wants men but they can't stop producing documentary-length content about them.
