i see where he asked how it applied to him, but i don't understand how it's silencing or a defense of patriarchy, could you elaborate?

that's not ageism. ageism is not hiring 40 year olds at your tech startup

maybe the roof will cave in at the debate

don't threaten me with a good time

please don't jacket me.

i don't think i'm doing prescriptivism. when we're trying to communicate with other people it's kindof important to be on the same page, especially for something as socially fraught as hooking up and/or trying to date someone.

i want to signal to other agender and NB people that they don't have to binary themselves to decode whether i'm talking about them.

i don't deal with all of that but i do find myself not being able to describe my sexuality without erasing or misrepresenting myself or someone else. we don't have words for all the categories and combinations, and while i understand that labels aren't taxonomy, it would be useful to concisely communicate and validating to not misgender ourselves in the search for companionship.

3d fallout's shooting came from bethesda's weird ass rpg gameplay hit to have a chance to roll to hit system, and vats was there as a branch to the people they figured might not want to play a realtime shooter. it's a kludge but it's probably the most clever thing they did.

if you're gonna do that just type in the caps cheat.

do you never play dead money? cheating carry weight directly undermines the narrative

yeah, and it's worse if you're not white.

if we do wage equality and socialism at the same time, "men" will all be better off just on the money number too.

i've never even seen anyone call it misandrnoir or any of the other ways you could do that portmanteau. everybody just calls it racism and maybe talks a little about intersections.

misandry isn't a serious concept even if we could choose to use it to describe some of us having to register for the draft and so on, but the disposability of men comes from patriarchy anyway so there's little interest in formalizing it further.

But it also means giving up higher wages

lol who's getting high wages?

any economic damage to "men" would be far outweighed by the gains we all make under socialism outside of a small handful of people everyone on this website would kill if we could.
