It's also nothing new. Just a new term.
In the past it would have been 'oh Davids just counting your ceiling tiles, don't mind him' or further back would have been sent to a home for 'special' kids.
I don't get why people are so pressed that we now have tools/terms to help
Everyone’s panicking about “so many autistic kids” these days.
But here’s the thing: I’m autistic, and I wasn’t diagnosed until I was 27. I was one of those kids. You just didn’t call it autism.
You called it weird.
You called it difficult.
You called it shy, dramatic, awkward, or rude.
You bullied us. You punished us. You told us to try harder.
We were always here. You just didn’t know what we were.
sometimes, a judge needs to step in and override a jury’s verdict.
that young boy was chased.
shot in the back.
executed in broad daylight.
you cannot claim self defense AND YOU’RE THE ONE CHASING HIM.
The childfree community really said "instead of making new people, what if we fully invested in the people already here?" and somehow society decided THAT was the weird option.
@DocsFCompanion I can agree with how you presented the male perspective however as a woman I feel the binary system of attention or attraction is so basic. It seems all round that people are failing to be sincere or real, games and numbers reducing people to a body rather than loving the soul
They never get it. There are levels to everything. If you are on level 5 (average) then a 10 would not want you.
If the man was a 10, would he want a 5, prob not.
It's the expectation that "I'm a man and deserve a woman that my friends find attractive even if I'm not!"
You’re not being punished for being average, you’re being punished for believing your completely ordinary traits should attract any woman you desire.
Women aren’t ignoring good men. They’re ignoring men who think they’re entitled to her as a reward for clearing the lowest bar.
These guys are not upset that ‘no girl wants them’. They’re upset that the women they want would have to dramatically lower her standards to date him. All while calling the women who actually are in his league fat and ugly.
Women aren’t the problem.
Every day, we're trapped in the paradox of the "Schrödinger’s immigrant", a mythical outsider who exists simultaneously as a lazy welfare dependent & an unstoppable machine taking all the jobs(both skilled & unskilled).
The immigrant remains a highly convenient shape shifting scapegoat designed to explain away ALL complex, systemic domestic failures.
Keeping this paradox alive ensures politicians never have to answer for a decade of chronic underinvestment, flatlining productivity, & broken infrastructure.
Yeah. Sure. Right. There would be outrage if white tennis players held a white only dinner party. Stop with thr fake outrage. Most white people don't even have Black friends.
Those clowns aren’t really mad about Naomi’s dinner. They’re PARANOID.
Always imagining we’re somewhere plotting against them because that’s what they* do.
Meanwhile we enjoy ourselves just fine without a single thought given to bigots. They cannot say the same.
