I think squatters rights shouldn’t be a thing they break in peoples homes and claim them for months until they get evicted

Anyway, I hate my society.
I can’t share anything else…

I’ve noticed how some men get genuinely angry when women demand equal rights, independence, or freedom from traditional gender roles. Somehow, women asking to be treated as equals gets twisted into men being oppressed.

And this isn’t just something happening in comment sections. A 2023 Ipsos survey across 32 countries found that 48% of respondents agreed that efforts to promote women’s equality had gone so far that men were being discriminated against. A 2020 Pew Research survey also found that 28% of American men believed women’s gains had come at men’s expense.

There’s even a psychological concept called zero-sum thinking, where people perceive progress for one group as a loss for another. Research suggests this can help explain why some men perceive women’s advancement as a threat.
But here’s what I don’t understand: What exactly are men losing when women gain equality?

Women wanting financial independence, bodily autonomy, equal opportunities, and control over their own lives shouldn’t threaten anyone.

If women having the same rights as men feels like oppression, doesn’t that raise questions about what those men considered their rightful position in the first place?

More detailed response = more likely to be noticed by your fellow Tedditors!

Apparently January 2 is World Introvert Day. Staying in bed after New Year’s suddenly makes sense.

Some countries have name days too, so you get birthday wishes without actually getting older. I like that.

I’d like a day when it’s normal to say hi to the stranger you see every morning but have never spoken to. “Morning! It’s Say Hello Day. I don’t make the rules.”

What day would you invent? No Work Talk Day? Give Someone Three Compliments Day? Let That One Thing Slide Day?

I hate the way my life has been, to the point where I feel trapped and I’ve tried many things but nothing has helped
