  • Gender is the norms society associates with sex. A lot of modern things associated with gender are just the product of marketing campaigns: pink as a “girl color” was a marketing push in the early 20th century. Pants are a more recent popular product than people like to admit with kilts, tunics, togas, robes, etc having been male attire until like 1500 AD.

    Sexualizing clothing, colors, and now boutique cosmetic surgery (specifically mar a lago face, for instance) etc is some freak shit that ‘conservatives’ do to virtue signal about what good little boys they are because they follow the inane gender codes created by marketing and fads.


  • The problem with debt is you need some material thing to offset it. If you take out a loan for a car your debt is offset by the car. There’s no good measure of the value of the economy to the avg person.

    The GDP is just a measure of “work done” its not a measure of the actual “car” etc we’re paying for. The problem is the government and corporate america are slowly firing all the people that create real, valuable products and replacing it with slop, police state bullshit and outright fraud.

    So instead of getting houses, groceries and gas etc for this debt we’re getting “financial products”, “ai”, price fixing, corporate collusion, private prisons and other things that kind of inflate corporate value while average people see no real world returns on the spending










  • Like if you follow your example I don’t think the response is generally “I’m upset because you think I’m bad” but rather a declining respect for person generalizing a complaing.

    The other thing is in dating women usually want to identify violent men (which a portion of men are) so you do want to trip their anger while you’re still in public and see how they respond. So I think that in a dating scenario specifically the role reversal becomes nonsensical (there’s just statistically less violent women to suss out so the the dynamics on what’s being evaluated is different).

    I’m not saying this is good way to press people’s buttons, but it is a way to do it and I don’t really understand people taking things personally in this dynamic.
