“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
You are ignorant, selfish, and violent. Three characteristics likely to land you in prison for a very long time. And we may all hope you end up there before harming someone, rather than after.
I don’t know how this isn’t common sense, but:
If your movement has managed to put an already oppressed minority group in danger to the point where they don’t even feel safe to leave their home to go to school, your movement is heavily flawed.
i once went to vegas as a child pre smart phones and there was a store in one of the hotels selling gold and diamond phones and i walked right in and pointed at one and said hey can i hold that i might be interested in it and the worker looked at 10 year old me and asked if i could afford it and i told him well ma has been extra generous with the lunch money lately and i've been putting a little away each day and i hadn't checked interest in a bit and he said the phone cost $50k and i stood there and thought for a moment and said well i'll have to do a couple extra chores around the neighborhood but i could handle that if i could do a payment plan and he asked me what kind of chores i did to make so much money and he did not like me answering "burglary"
y’all need to stop mocking women/feminists/etc for not wanting a male partner/husband by telling them “oh but having a boss to report to at work makes you free huh???”
1. A husband is not a woman’s boss; implying so means you view women as abused subordinates to men at worst, and being transactional partners at best.
2. A boss is not a woman’s spouse; saying so enables toxic ideas about outdated work culture habits, including the overused “we’re a family here!” lie.
3. Being a wife and being an employee have DRASTICALLY different roles in ANY person’s life. (Is a male worker’s HR their nagging wife? No! A wife and HR managers are TWO DIFFERENT ROLES!)
4. You can (typically) leave a toxic/abusive job environment more easily than you can leave a toxic or abusive marriage. You are MUCH LESS likely to be killed by a boss than a woman is to be killed by her husband/intimate partner. It doesn’t take an employee up to SEVEN TIMES on average to leave their workplace the way it can for a woman to leave her toxic/abusive relationship.
5. Even outside of abusive and toxic marriages…it’s just not the same, as explained. I don’t report to my husband and my husband does not give me his assets as “payment” for my wifely duties. We submit to one another in ways we never would to anyone else and have had to correct one another in their faults when it harms us or others. That is a very, VERY deep place to be in. I would never go that far for any boss no matter how well we got along.
Just stop comparing the two. It is not and never was the same.

So, back in the 50s and 60s (I think it was then, but within living memory certainly), it was perfectly normal to go on a date with one person one night and another the next. At some point, when you get serious about someone and would agree with them to "go steady," and stop dating anyone else. And we may want to bring that back.
You can't treat every single conversation that happens to include some flirting as if it's an exclusive commitment. You'll go crazy. But you can't jerk someone around forever and expect them to never decide to friendzone you and pursue romance elsewhere. That will drive you crazy too.
