They’re physickers not languagers.

What, lol.

My post was about how I’m not attracted to it.

You might want to stop conducting gender studies at bars.

Please, show me your psych degree from the university of 4Chan.

I know and understand where it comes from, but I don’t want to deal with it in a partner.

The chainsaw thing was absolutely because I’m a chick and representative of his overall attitude toward me that evening. Asking if I’d used a chainsaw would have been appropriate, or a quick rundown on starting/stopping would have been fine.

Basically, I ask myself if he would have said the same thing in the same way to a man. I’ve worked on enough jobsites to know that no, that doesn’t happen.

I was like this when I started dating. Popular media and family impacted how I viewed love and relationships, so accustomed to living with controlling narcissists I didn’t understand what healthy affection looked like.

My first relationships were nightmares with similar people who reinforced those ideas. If I was approached by someone with a healthy, balanced mindset, I wouldn’t know what to do with them.

Which is not to provide a solution, but rather some insight. In a sense it’s a good thing you recognize a toxic situation before it begins, in another sense it can be lonely and frustrating, and I can commiserate from the other side

Creative, fun and encouraging. Emotionally mature, respectful, and commited to ongoing self improvement. Everything else is peripheral, but bonus points for writers and artists who are into pc gaming and technology.

My biggest issue has been men socialized with some kind of bias against women, who don’t examine their need to protect and try to make decisions for me. I’m pansexual but lean toward people with dicks.

I learned how to use power tools when I was seven, I’m mechanically inclined, and built my own PC at eighteen. There are an unfortunate number of men who will start a conversation with me from a place of condescension. The last date I went on, he showed me his chainsaw, I asked to try it out and what he said started with “Okay, well it can be a little scary at first because it’s loud…” Another guy told me I was cracking eggs wrong when I made breakfast. I used to be a head chef.

Sometimes Canada goes overboard. In Ontario you need to wear a hard hat to plant trees.

If you see this comment, it could be interesting to get an idea of how many people:

a) Thought OP posted this in like a “Look at how dumb this is” way, or,

b) Thought OP agreed with the idea presented in the image.

I think this might have to do with communication climates (I am so far from an expert in anything) and how a climate of disagreement with peers and prevalent media can affect how a message is received. In other words, if surrounded by stupid people with stupid ideas it’s easy to assume the next stupid idea has come from a stupid person.

Let’s play Pick the Cognitive Biases. Not just in the picture, but in the comments and the reasons people downvoted this.

My favorite part:

Some culture-bound syndromes appear with similar features in several cultures, but with locally specific traits, such as penis panics.

Sir, this is a comic about nazi propaganda.

An interesting thing the nazis did was portray jews, blacks, disabled, etc. as irredeemable criminals in order to justify extra-judicial punishment.

Ahaha… you got me. Now I know an in-joke next time I’m hanging with Germans.

Bielefeld? That’s a real place.

Thank you :)

Is your trolling always this obvious?

Sort of.

Outrage, divisive politics, creating an enemy strawman…

I’m no expert on the subject and I wasn’t able to find a clear account. Keep in mind a lot of effort went into spinning the story so the real facts might be long gone.

I’ve read:

-It was a dispute over unpaid rent

-It was political between nazi’s and communists

-Wessel’s chick used to prostitute for his killer

Who knows, it could have been a bunch of things.

This is about propaganda, not culture.

Why would anyone ban you for that? It’s not an unpopular opinion or mean.

I’m not a liberal. Where did I say that?
