I despair that we cannot be ourselves in our own home.
We are de facto forbidden from making beautiful buildings. Beautiful art and stories. Beautiful clothes. All in our American way.
We are de facto forbidden from behaving like men, and women. No more tussles in the parking lot. No more knitting clubs. No more honor. No more loveliness.
And none of it. None. of. it. is because the 'minorities' aren't allowed to do American things the American way. It's only because they don't want to, and because they don't want to, we're not allowed to. Because their desire to not do American things apparently means to them that they're systematically discriminated against, as opposed to what it actually is: they don't even want to try.
They have pushed so hard to quash us in our own home, that now it's the default fundamental assumption of much of our nation: "minorities must get special treatment, special privileges, to do things in foreign ways, because they don't like being American in America, and of course that's normal and good."
I'm sick of it. We all know anyone with half a brain in close proximity to the foreign behaviors is sick of it. We ought to be able to advocate for ourselves, in our own country, for our own ways. That we even have to advocate for ourselves at all is so beyond belief, I can't even find the words to fully describe how crazy it is.
Because it's insane we're not allowed to be American in our own damn country.
@wylfcen One reason why there is still some charm in slower days and less frequent (and less immediate) communications. The weight of the present was more real, and farewells quite possibly final, and therefore solemn.
@WomanDefiner Probably a mix of that, and also the typical (as we've learned) delusions of 'scientists' who think they know everything and announce conclusions long before they've bothered to determine if they're remotely close to correct. They'd need to go into the field! The horror!
I still think it's a holdover idea from when the internet was both a) white and high trust and high iq, and b) condensed among small <100 person forums.
Invite third worlders and expand to several million, and reports no longer work. No idea how to fix it, though. Other than banning internet from the third world.
They just want obedient little slaves, and singleness allows one to extract maximally from the slave.
There's only 1 (extremely misattributed) quote in the Bible I can recall off the top of my head that supposedly says celibacy is good, but of course the problem is the very next sentence is "but realistically nobody can do this so get married ya silly gooses."
What other reason, except abuse of the single's energies and time, can there be? When the entirety of the Bible makes it clear at every step that fruitfulness is not only desirable, but indeed a divine command from God that stands before even the 10 commandments in time?
I'm in favor of... classic methods? That's probably not entirely correct in terminology, though; I lack the lingo. I think there's something to be said for pre-compulsory-education standards, where not everyone is allowed "education," but most get what they need from parents/community.
An over obsession with classical figures will of course lead one to aligning with said classical figures' views. It is very dangerous to wholesale trust without reflection men like Aristotle. The same concern can be had with some ostensibly Christian men, e.g. Horace Mann.
Hell, while I'm at it, any education itself seems kind of dangerous. Extremely few are those who we would say are, practically speaking, immune to ideological leakage by study. We don't take nearly enough care in monitoring exposure of bad ideals in our education institutions.
Are women incapable of offering something in return to help blow off some steam?
Hey, I have a good idea! What if we let hot women sideline at the races where everything crashes with tremendous carnage? No? Maybe we could let men beat each other silly in good fun (like combat sports)? No, too much brute? Women won't stand for that?
It's never enough for you witches. You just want to see men crushed underfoot. And I'm telling you that at some point, if there's not a release valve, it gets released. Either in violence to the self (drug addiction, suicide), or violence to the other.
Your choice.
@temporaryphs@RealDianeYap Oh, no disagreements from me there. But the misandrists are going to throw a fit the whole way. It's very tiresome. Classic women. All complaining, solutions offered, "I don't want a solution!"
@RealDianeYap You're even dumber than I thought, Diane. How the fuck are you public figure? Did you get a free ticket to some infamy for being a willfully ignorant misandrist?
The point is demonstrating that Diane is creating a fiction where men are default sterile slates no different than women.
The reality is that testosterone in men is an extremely powerful driving force. It powers a lot of things, generally speaking, that we like in society. Success orientation, collaboration, collaborative competition, high physical strength, and the one everyone doesn't like: an extremely high sex drive, comparatively speaking.
If hags like Diane are going to sit around and whine about the sex drive, then we are going to need to do something to give men an outlet.
The problem is, our feminist world has made all other outlets effectively illegal, if not outright illegal, and has driven men out of many pursuits that otherwise would also temper them.
So what are we left with? Angry men with no outlets. What the fuck do you think happens when angry men with no outlets start figuring out that their high strength and collaboration drives could be used to uh... "solve the problem" of feminist slave drivers in power?
Well, there's two options: drug addictions until death/suicide, or violence.
Perhaps you ladies might prefer the sex instead of the violence? Or is this logic train to advanced for you, still?

@_BertReynolds@RealDianeYap You are generally correct. But Diane will never agree to that premise because she's a witch. We can try to make her short circuit by forcing her to confront objective biology. But alas. Witch. Drugs for men to stop sex, not for women to want it. Misandrists, man. Vile people.
@TeamBear_4b You clearly weren't paying attention in biology class, and you clearly can't understand hyperbole use for its shock value to better show the inability of the debate partner to understand the topic.
Congrats, you also demonstrated you don't understand the topic.
