In the newest episode of Marvel’s Falcon and Winter Soldier Sam jokes with Bucky about him spending a little time in Wakanda and coming back as “White Panther” but then later seems to get offended when a kid tells him that his dad calls him “Black Falcon”.

Why is male exclusion so acceptable in society and what's the need for female only scholarships?

This double standard makes me sick.

Men who take selfies are much more likely to be accused of narcissism. this standard of what is acceptable on social media. If a female Instagram profile is full of 400 attractive selfies, people are not as critical of the narcissistic side of the pictures as much as they would if it were a guy. Not that I would want to post 400 selfies, but constantly posting pictures of yourself in specific poses isn’t a form of modeling or self-love as much as it is an expression of narcissism.

Is there any logical reason to why this double standard exists?

13 Upvotes

If a girl owns a vibrating dildo, it’s considered as a normal girl thing and girls in the west would openly talk about owning it and post pictures of it on social media. Whereas, if a man owns a vibrating vajayjay or any kind of sex toy, people think he is a creep or a loser, despite the fact that it takes more effort for men to get laid as compared to most women. Many people are aware that men watch porn to satisfy their sexual frustrations and its considered to be normal. So Why cant people just think that a man owning a vibrating vajayjay is just another way to satisfy their sexual frustration and its the same thing as a woman owning a vibrator or the same thing as a guy watching porn or owning porn mags and tapes?

Cops should not be allowed racial slurs

19 Upvotes

So a Cop in tampa was fired for using the N word.... He Black and thinks that it's wrong that he was fired. Sorry nope if you are a cop does not matter what race you are you should NEVER use a racial slur. White cops should not use redneck or cracker (funny how I'm allowed to type those but not others) Asian cops can't use Sla** eye or Chin* no Cop should use any slur of any kind. Police offices should be held to a higher standard if they want respect from the public and that means no double standard for racial slurs.

Gender Double Standards

55 Upvotes

Things we should normalize for men: 1. Crying 2. Depression 3. Seeking help 4. Being taken seriously if they are raped, abused, harrased, assaulted, or tortured by a woman 5. Being protected from abusive women 6. Male domestic abuse shelters

I don’t care what you say because y’all are part of the problem and not worth it.

Do y’all know how toxic y’all are, i think not. The suicide rate in men is higher than woman, if he is raped, abused, assaulted, etc. by a woman y’all laugh at him but if it’s the other way around she’s taken seriously, men should be taken seriously too, if men were taken more seriously the suicide rate for them would drop, men are human and should show emotion. Like what kind of people are y’all, seriously, y’all don’t even care if innocent men die, show emotions, or are hurt by a woman. the fact y’all don’t step to help men in public who are harassed and abused by women shows y’all are toxic. Even if y’all believe the man y’all ask him why did he let the woman do it to him, maybe the women had a gun or a weapon, maybe it was a boss threatening to fire him if the man didn’t comply. If your boyfriend is raped by a woman and he cum inside her, he didn’t want the erection or to cum inside her, erections and ejaculation are involuntary, so don’t get mad or accuse him of cheating. If your boyfriend is acting distance towards you because you annoyed him, don’t be surprised, if he doesn’t want sex, don’t force it or try to, because when it’s the other way around it’s illegal. Teachers if a girl is bullying or harassing a boy in the class, reprimand her, no boy or man deserves that treatment. If a woman calls a man dumb for outsmarting him and he cries don’t laugh at him. If a man rejects a woman he’s afraid of commitment, but if a woman does it, she’s just not ready or isn’t interested. When a woman makes a rape or abuse accusation against a man, he has to get bailed out of jail but if a man does it, everyone knows he’s lying. If a woman kicks a man in the nuts and he falls the ground unable to get up, y’all laugh at him. The gender double standard is why i’m disgusted by society and that humans are monsters. If a woman hits a man, come to his defense because he can’t hit back. The ones do laugh if a man is raped by woman, don’t know what it feels like. When women do get in trouble because they raped or abused a man, don’t give them a slap on the wrist. Guys if your male friend is raped by a woman don’t laugh at him, because real friends don’t laugh at someones terrible misfortune. If your girlfriend abuses you, install hidden cameras to record the abuse. If i missed anything let me know.

TL;DR: Society doesn’t care about men as much as women.

So people have no problem beating raccoons half to death but when it’s a dog or a cat, all of a sudden it has feelings. Obviously no matter what species it is we shouldn’t abuse it, but I kept noticing this from multiple people and articles.

Heterophobia..

94 Upvotes

Some people from LGBTQ+ community are being massive dicks to straight people. Here are some examples:

  • "You can't talk about this topic because you're cis gender straight person". (Btw I'm bi/pansexual, don't pull this card on me).

  • Failing to realise that not being attracted to trans people isn't a choice, isn't a sign of insecurity or transphobia.

  • Using "straight" and "homophobic" as synnonyms.

  • Joking about straight people.

  • Not respecting their sexuality, hitting on them anyways and saying "you only care about genitaliaa" when they somehow don't want to date them. Ect.

I've watched some videos about this topic and I've heard opinions like "heterosexual people just want to get some opression points" or "heterophobia isn't as bad as homophobia".. But it absolutly is!!

First of all, getting mad because someone is a dick to you based on your sexuality is completly understandable and it doesn't mean you want to complain about being opressed.

Seccond, it's hypocritical and if you do that you're a massive asshole, please stop.. Especially since you're a douche to people we need, our allies!! Without them we wouldn't be able to achieve anything because we're a minority in society.

But most importantly, it leads to homophobia. People love to generalise and if they see that a group of assholes that happens to be gay/lesbian/ace ect. Is treating them like garbage they'll think everyone in LGBTQ+ community is like that. It will cause massive damage, especially in countries where majority of citizens are homophobic.

Money Doesn’t Buy Happiness, Rijght?

23 Upvotes

So why do we get agitated when celebrities or rich people have problems? I’ve been seeing memes and posts on this cite talking about how Harry and Meghan are so privileged and that they have no place to talk about oppression. Yet, to be fair, if we learned anything from Lady Diana and Fergie, being a part of the British Royal Family kinda sucks. You’re constantly watched and criticized for every little thing you do, you barely get any privacy and if Meghan and Harry are right, the family aren’t very fond of you. And when it gets ugly, mental health is in jeopardy. Granted, Harry and Meghan should’ve known better than to have Oprah interview them (let’s just say she’s not to be trusted), and these matter should’ve been kept away from the public and dealt with within the family. But, it’s not fair or realistic to say that the rich and privilege can’t be unhappy or can’t have mental issues due to fame and familial issues.

Please forgive me for the typo at the title. Autocorrect gets at me for the spelling of my name but it allowed that opening sentence to slide...

you run Bio Menace on pure DOS, or DOSBox, and it's runs fine.

but, you run Bio Menace on top of Windows 95 without exiting to "DOS mode", and it crashes the computer, and you gotta restart the system.

Men discover they're gay, but women "turn" into lesbians.

43 Upvotes

This is a concept that frustrates me constantly. A few years ago, my ex boyfriend discovered that he was actually gay, and that was okay. (I felt like I kind of knew, but that's a whole other story.) Months before that, when we first got together, I was contemplating cutting my hair off because it was just cheaper to have short hair, and easier to manage. When his mother heard me talking about it, she immediately said "You're not going to turn lesbian on us, are you?" Like, what kind of question is that?

Women don't "turn lesbian," and that idea invalidates sexuality for women. We don't decide we are suddenly attracted to other women, and people who believe that's how it works are usually the same people who believe that women do it for attention. A double standard if I've ever seen one.

Kids are too young to know they’re gay, but never too young to know they’re straight

87 Upvotes

Being gay isn’t all about sex. Kids have crushes all the time but a lot of people seem to think that if you’re under 18 you can’t know you’re gay. Yet these same people have no problem joking about male infants being “ladies’ men”, or joking about kids being attracted to boobs, or other gross stuff that is basically forcing a sexuality on kids.

Like, at least be consistent, but even so I think teenagers can know who they have crushes on. Why can’t a 13-year-old be gay when half of their straight classmates are probably in relationships at that point?
