For years on end I avoided games that had me play a male character as it felt weird to identify with that. If a girl character wasn't available I would avoid the game even if the story was great.
And I know for a fact, cis women played male characters but you hardly got a complaint from them about that.
Now here is a female character and men are losing their minds.
>Boomer buys property for cheap
>Dumps sewage into hole rather than get a septic tank or sewer hookup
>Fights a NIMBY battle, loses
>Sells property for 10x what he paid
>Wrecks millions of dollars of damage before his death

@AprilsBooks The Bolsheviks "didn't see race" so much that they created many levels of statehood, and the modern-day countries of Ukraine and Belarus.
Stalin, a member of a minority in the USSR, would remark that Kyiv being more Ukrainian than Russian was a positive thing.
Indianapolis, the largest city in a state with a metro population of 2.2 million, gets just three trains per week, yet that same state is willing to spend $1 billion on a football stadium for 8 events a year.

Saying that because I *kind of* did something like that with my ex girlfriend, and I don't entirely remember what it was over.
i’m convinced car dependency and suburban sprawl promoting anti-social attitudes like “being in a public place with strangers is scary and bad” majorly contributes to why so many people are extremely regressive, tribalist, and paranoid these days
Zohran being so hated by the Right is also because his extreme popularity among leftist women is definitive evidence against their convenient little narrative that we just hate men and masculinity
You have to let yourself viscerally feel things - all of it, including the joy that makes you scared of false hope and the mourning that feels like drowning - and somehow decide that you want to move on, rather than languishing in the hollow comfort of staying the same.
It's fitting that, out of everything, the one thing FIFA regrets at this World Cup is accidentally giving away 60 free tickets, which they've now cancelled and are demanding be paid for in full.
the youth league of the communist party of Britain expels members for describing people with TERF/SWERF ideology because usage of said terms (i.e., "you are a TERF") is described as being "violence against women"
