tbf, in the US it’s more like murder hungry hungry hippos

I do disagree on that! The internet is a self-selecting group, and I’m gonna blame Meta, Alphabet, et all for creating algorithms that reward asshole behavior and caused an over-representation of assholes online.

Furthermore, I believe that non-assholes have the capacity to temporarily act like assholes when exposed to stress. Everybody can have a bad day, but that a few isolated incidents of assholery doesn’t make you an asshole.

I honestly think that assholes follow the standard deviation pattern in humans, regardless of biology. It’s only when you start looking at categories that can self-select for behavior that you start seeing an over-representation of them.

And there it is. I’m afab and don’t want to conform to your rhetoric, and in your eyes that makes me as good as a cis man.

You’re a TERF.

Edit: And to talk theory?

Patriarchy is the problem, not men. Patriarchy in the western world is a system established by Christians, where inheritance (aka, power) flows through the oldest male child. Today this expression has softened, but it is still men that receive preferential treatment by society. The Patriarchy is regulated by social gatekeeping what it means to be a man, in order to receive maximum benefit from social norms. This is what we mean when we say that The Patriarchy hurts men too.

By continuing to insist that one’s gender is what makes them the problem, you are upholding The Patriarchy, and you need to stop.

Because it’s the same reductive binary bullshit they do. If you’re in this category, you’re bad, lets just ignore the rest of it because it doesn’t fit the black and white thinking.

I also don’t fit the black and white thinking, ergo you won’t like me either.

There is also zero reward for siding with people who think that if you’re not a woman, you’re a man.

Turns out, what you’ve got in your pants has nothing to do with who you are as a human, and I’ve got penis-having friends who don’t judge me for not being femme.

I’m agender, and this person is reminding me of all the mean girls who bullied me for not being femme enough. It’s the same kind of middle school logic that said that me not wearing makeup made me a man, and that I ought to kms.

So the design has never changed since it was made? The engineers have never needed to figure out an upgrade or slightly different way of doing it?

Of course randos don’t make them in their garage, but somebody does make them, and I don’t see a problem with experts incorporating this into their workflow. I don’t know why you do?

Yeah, but to get there, you need a prototype. There’s nothing wrong with testing the fit using 3D printing before you order a copy in real materials, just don’t put it under any load.

You could print it with normal plastic filaments, but those can deform and screw with the measurements if you’ve got a really tight fit, so metal printing is a good use there.

“Oh, Hamburgler!”, he cried

Haha, nah, that would have resulted in actual murder. I became homeless voluntarily because I thought he was going to snap and kill me one day.

Emperor Palpatine

He never did, and he always blamed me for his inability to wait. Either I’d get in trouble for flushing and changing his water temperature, or I’d get in trouble for not flushing and stinking up the bathroom.

Man, I didn’t even get privacy on the toilet. If I was taking a shit, and dad wanted a shower, he’d just open the door and go take a shower.

“Probably” is doing some heavy lifting there. My mother regretted having me, and was never shy about it. She’s the one that decided against the abortion, but somehow I was the one that ruined her life by showing up. My entire life, I’ve felt like I should kill myself and finally make my mother happy.

It’s a good book, I highly recommend reading it.

I swear, if I run into one more hipster that tries to mansplain feminism to me…

Honestly, Seattle really is full of holier-than-thou assholes who want to think they’re farther left than they are.

I’ve run into a wide variety, starting at the “I’m a leftist, but ecofascism is kinda cool” kind, to “I know you’re homeless, but you’re white, so that makes you more privileged than me, a POC landlord”, and running all the way up to “Eugenics is okay, but I have a karl marx shirt and think I’m one of the vanguard” types.

It absolutely turned into crabs in a bucket when I got a job in palliative care for developmentally disabled elders, and it’s part of why I burnt out so bad and tried to kill myself.
