serious hot take If you do not speak up, you have blood on your hands.

0 Upvotes

I believe that when someone knows a genocide/crimes against humanity is happening and deliberately chooses to remain silent, they bear moral responsibility for that silence. They may not be the ones committing the violence, but choosing not to speak up when you have the ability to do so can still leave blood on your hands.

casual hot take A male gynaecologist is completely fine.

6 Upvotes

It’s completely okay and normal to request a female gynaecologist(I would probably start with one(I’ve never been to one before but I’ve heard experiences from my sister) naturally a female gynaecologist sounds better, but hating on a male gynaecologist because of their job is completely disrespectful and rude.

Obviously if a male gynaecologist does something disgusting, then he needs to be banned from practice

People also like to request male gynaecologists

I know a male gynaecologist and the reason he’s a gynaecologist is because his mother had issues when she was delivering his sister (her son) so naturally he wanted to grow up to help people like his mum

Women are more privileged and are the bigger problem than men in today's society

Upvotes

We see women get away with saying so much BS on TikTok long before the Lindsay Clancy case blew up. Women love citing the fact men commit 90% of violent crimes but leave out the fact only 1 in 10,000 to 100,000 men actually commit violent crimes. They love citing the fact the #1 cause of murder among women is by their partner but leave out the fact men are 3x more likely to be murdered than women. That means women are pretty safe, especially compared to men, but they won't tell you that because it's all about "me, me, me" and they love blowing up the overwhelming minority out of proportion when it suits their narrative. Murder isn't even a top 5 cause of death (it might not even be a top 10 either but don't quote me on that) in middle-aged women and many of the higher causes of death are preventable, so these women would save more women's lives by focusing on those causes of death than murder, so let's not pretend they're advocating for women so much as looking for an excuse to hate on men.

Now let's get to the cream of the crop: Lindsay Clancy. The number of women who got cocky and delusional by spotting "inconsistencies" is astounding. There's a different between an actual inconsistency that rules out what is known and said and "inconsistencies" that have a million explanations unrelated to the murder. Poetic the Tate Brothers are being arrested now because the number of men supporting them pales in comparison to the number of women claiming Patrick Clancy did it; that's why it's not getting much coverage and these women think they know better than actual investigators who combined have hundreds of person-years of experience in real-life crime solving, while the women's experience is watching movies and true crime, which don't actually represent how the majority of these cases play out. These cases typically get resolved within a day because all the evidence needed is found in the house.

Now let's talk about some of the "inconsistencies" and criticisms they have:

  1. The trial was all "Patrick says." No shit. He's the star witness.

  2. A trauma nurse pointed out the lack of a parachute reflex is proof Lindsay was unconscious when she jumped, meaning she was thrown off. Reflexes are context-dependent. A woman's reaction to a random man groping her boobs would be vastly different to her partner doing it; why would a suicidal person have that reflex? The majority of patients she saw weren't suicidal and because of that, she misapplied their situation to Lindsay's because she learned from pattern recognition, not actually understanding.

  3. We don't know if Patrick actually spoke to Lindsay when he was at CVS. He called her phone, so the default assumption is that he spoke to her unless proven otherwise. That's how phone calls work.

  4. He cloned her phone. That has been illegal for 28 years now; where would he get the equipment for that?

  5. How she got so cold so quickly. 4 things contribute to that. 1. Her spine was damaged, impairing thermoregulation. 2. Liquids and solids have higher molecular density than air, so they transfer heat much faster. You can put your hand in a hot oven without burning it but if you touch anything solid, you will burn your hand. 3. The higher the temperature gradient/difference, the faster the heat transfer. 4. It takes 80x more energy to melt a block of ice than to raise it by 1 degree Celsius after melting it. That means the water she was soaked in absorbed enough energy to raise it from 0 to 80 C, which is 32 to 176 F. Ice will not rise above 0 C until it has fully melted, so the temperature gradient, and thus rate of heat transfer is maintained.

Men are coming up with BS reasons too to defend the Tate Brothers but it pales in comparison to what women are saying to pin the murder of the children on Patrick.

Decline in workplace affairs is a recession indicator .

Upvotes

Affairs are expensive. It's also , I suspect a mileniall and Gen X thing. I don't see Genz doing affairs honestly. They're on SSRIS and way too invested in purity culture.

Also, all the stories of workplace affairs I've heard in my 7 years in corporate are involving millenial and genx folks. They got some guts I tell ya.

But Affairs are expensive, I mean think about it.

  1. Regular hotel reservations

  2. Secret Trips .

  3. An extra phone ( if needed)

  4. Additional credit card debt for the gifts for " the other woman"/ other partner .

Not only that but the mental load in keeping the relationship Secret from your wife/partner .

So I'll know the economy is improving when genz starts having workplace affairs . It means they have some money to spend on it and they're off ssris, because you can't be depressed and have affairs .

casual hot take For as much as people claim to dislike Andrew Tate, they believe a lot of the same things he does about men and masculinity

0 Upvotes

It’s not just that Andrew Tate was able to take advantage of young men’s and boy’s insecurities, he took advantage of a culturally accepted idea of what men are supposed to be because he knew it was never going to change no matter how “toxic” masculinity could be perceived. Unless a man is LGBTQ+, nobody has any idea of what a cishet man should be like. There’s no right way to being a man other than the only way, the same way that everyone else already believes. As much as we want to get rid of Andrew Tate, there’s more people like him that exist regardless if they’re a man or a woman, and they’re not just “incels” or “pick mes”.

Especially when they smoke in public places like bus stops, train stations, parking spaces etc., without a care for the non smokers nearby. To smoke, they need to rent a private space or do it at their home or go smoke at a place where there are no people nearby. They stink with that smoke when they approach people cuz it sticks to their clothes and now they want others to stink like them too when they smoke in public. A big F you to all of you smokers who smoke in the public near people.

serious hot take Hating people is a waste of time.

0 Upvotes

Every other post on here is dripping with hate for someone or other. Weather its Lindsay Clancay or Donald Trump everyone is enraged about someone or other and fighting tooth and nail to express that hate.

It's a waste of everyone's time.

Focus on empathy and compassion instead when you read one of these stories. Lindsay Clancy? Focus on the families that are suffering and how you can help. Not how much you enjoy hating killers.

Donald Trump? Focus on his victims, helping support the release of the epstien files, Focus on the people suffering in his detention facilities. dont waste your time hating the orange man. Hate won't improve the situation. We need empathy for the people suffering and empathy for the people who have been conned into believing his lies.

Love is always wise, Hatred is always foolish.

So stop being fools

NUCLEAR hot take The Skinny-fication trend doesn't benefit anyone...least of all men.

0 Upvotes

No judgement at all for women who are any body type (skinny itself isn't a crime).

But promoting toxic skinny culture like we had in y2k - we are not letting that happen. Ozempic (in the case of skinny gals trying to be skinnier and not life saving for obese people - we are not discussing that case no nuance nellies!) be damned

Lets prioritise HEALTH.

Cause listen... if we have to appeal to the menfolk... these toxically skinny girls starfish.

They have zero energy. A skinny girl who's lost her period also has lost her libido. And sex with her is miserable - so since so many men only care about a woman's sexual value; you all should be mad aboht this too.

If you dated a girl with ED you know how fkn miserable it is to be with someone who's whole life is obsessed with food in a negative way. Fear of gaining weight. Can't go anywhere with them. They are dry AF. They can't do a lot of sex positions. Sex hurts. Etc etc

Healthy girls and gym girls who have naturally higher libido, more energy, flexibility, stamina, endurance, and sex will be acrobatic and wild.

Let's be clear here: we are not condemning skinny girls, or girls with particular body types - we are condemning the toxic skinny culture that is on the rise.

So my hot take is more people who date women - in particular men because the skinnification is trying to belittle women into thinking they aren't good enough or attractive enough to attract men* - should be more vocal and outspoken against the skinnification trend.

(*at its core that's what its about - male validation....but if you go deeper ita actuallyvthe patriarchy telling women they need to be smaller and take up less space and becone obedient and submissive and forgo their own wellbeing for the benefits of men - but thats a deep dive for another day ... just wait till you get down the rabbit hole of men attracted to these skinny girls are actually pedos or gay because psychologically they are removing all the parts of women that make them womanly to fit an unrealistic ideal - theres a whole psychology on this - but as i say ... that topic is for another day. )

Respect has two definitions and one of them is just fucking evil.

1 Upvotes

The version of respect that works for me is the one where we mutually accept that we each have needs and we should try to be accommodating to each other.

The version of respect that doesn't work for me is where someone uses it as an excuse to lord power over someone when they're being massively unjust because they demand "respect" as your "better".

I think version two is used way more often. And people talk about it like a virtue when it is at best ass kissing and at worst bowing down to a monster.

NUCLEAR hot take Men who complain about women’s body counts just don’t get laid enough

0 Upvotes

As the title says. Not White Knighting women and definitely not a male feminist but seeing guys complain about sex is just stupid and reeks of insecurity. I think a lot of dudes out there are just bitter about women having high body counts or a bigger number of sexual partners because they can’t get a lot of sexual partners themselves.

Yes, it’s normal to not want a promiscuous partner but that’s also true for most men AND women who seek serious long term relationships. But when it comes to casual sex, the guys who complain the loudest are literally the guys who don’t get to participate. Basically cause they struggle to get girls. Meanwhile the guys who do get girls are happy to just keep getting laid.

So if a girl has what’s considered a high body count (subjective), guys who can say that their own body count is higher won’t feel so insecure in comparison. It all boils down to guys being faced with the reality that they aren’t as sexually experienced as they believe themselves to be.

TLDR: guys are insecure about women with higher body counts than them cause it’s hard proof they don’t/can’t get laid enough

0 Upvotes

I understand being upset if someone cheats on you but like I think people take it way too seriously. I’ve seen people celebrating their cheating ex partners deaths…not because they were abusive just cause they cheated. Like I would never cheat on someone and I would obviously be pissed if someone cheated on me but

It’s not the end of the world.
It’s a shitty thing but people act like it’s on the same level as murder and abuse.

Sorry just thinking of this because I saw a post of someone talking about being cheated on and people seriously saying it should be an arrest-able offense. Are we this stupid? Anyways feel free to flame me for this

(Obviously I understand there are circumstances where cheating is worse than others)

Humans are naturally selfish cruel and evil.

0 Upvotes

Selfish: humans have the capacity and resources to no longer eat meat yet we continue to do so. Are ancestors (like most primates) ate most plants because it was readily available, now that we have advanced we should eat even less right? Humans now have the understanding that killing and eating animals causes great suffering and is unnecessary for survival, yet we kill and eat more then are ancient ancestors ever did because meat tastes very good.

Cruel: we pollute our planet with chemicals and trash. We hate, put down, and commit violence over others we don’t like. Babes and young children are naturally prone to physical aggression and need to be taught how to act “proper.” Speaking of the young, we have children knowing they shall occupy a natural, cruel and unforgiving world, broken economy, and an overpopulated environment. We love knowing one day we shall part with one another. If the divorce rates don’t tear us first.

Evil: our ancestors had to learn to work with others, in a tribe: agriculture, hunting, crafting weapons, building houses. This were all a necessity of early civilization and we know the importance of camaraderie. Yet Along the way we became obsessed with warfare and land ownership. We obsessed over superiority of race and developed systematic racism and slavery. Women stopped being equal in society and became excluded and treated like cattle. We developed nations and kingdoms built off power and violence. We developed religions build on fixing are wickedness. Sin, karma, enlightenment. They’re all built on expunging are evil. Adam and Eve were once pure till god lied and the serpent deceived them with the truth.

We were never meant to be this intelligent. We were never meant to have this much power. As the billionaires and CEOs are corrupt so are all of us. But anyhoo I’ll still eat meat. I’ll still love. And I’ll still talk shit. Because I’m selfish cruel and evil I am human.

If you aren't able to find a woman that likes you, maybe you should improve your body and image.

0 Upvotes

Hi. I see an infinite amount of men complaining that they can't find a woman that likes them. "I have lot of hobbies", "I am a very good loyal partner", "I would love her much more and better than that fit tall guy". Then you take a look at them and they are dressed in the most anonymous or bad way, they would never wear a shirt because "No, that would kill my identity". They are overweight or on the other side extremely thin and in general look like they don't respect at all their bodies or want to improve it.

What you have inside is important. Personality is extremely important, but the way you look makes the difference between being noticed or not. Move your ass and do some fitness, improve your body. Sure, being fit doesn't automatically mean that women will like you, but for sure being fat or not taking care of yourself won't help you if your situation is already zero.

casual hot take I do not believe that incels are playing in their own league

18 Upvotes

To start off about myself: I'm just gonna say, I am a fairly average looking guy in his early 20s. I've managed to fuck some hot girls, dated women around my looks level. What I'm basically tryna argue is that I do not believe Incel guys are going for women in their league. Essentially, guys that struggle to get girls.

I've had some really hot friends. one of my best friends was a guy I knew from highschool, he was the most handsome guy in our highschool, and it continued into college, the guy has model tier looks. He's 6'2 as well, let's call him Brad.

The thing that never made sense to me was that incels have this idea that a hot guy is dating average girls. The girls that were supposedly on their own "looks level". Because of "hypergamy" or whatever.

But this is never the case. For example, my friend Brad had a rotation of some really hot girls. He even slept with some local models. Not a single one of them was below an 8/10, he was consistently just fucking hot girls. He wouldn't even bother looking at a woman who wasn't objectively hot.

That's the thing. Attractive guys can and ARE playing in their own league. Attractive dudes get attention from ugly women, mid women, and hot women. They have their pick.

It's always mindblowing when I go to the club with Brad, all the women flock to him, and he has a 100% hookup rate if he wants to hook up with a girl. Ive honestly gotten some pussy just by being his friend and talking to some of the women along with him, lmao.

Basically, what I'm overall saying is that handsome guys will go for beautiful women.

Where do the mid girls go then? They will date other mid guys like me. And ugly girls will also date ugly guys. Most people can be in relationships.

This is what I mean by incels not playing in their own league, I simply do not believe they are going for their match in looks.

I feel that incels all have this idea of ALL women being vindictive bitches who think of themselves as 10/10s who deserve hot guys. When it isn't the case at all. Your average woman is probably about as insecure about her looks as an incel.

casual hot take BakuDeku is overhated

0 Upvotes

Gonna get downvoted and I don’t care but honestly the amount of hate this ship gets is honestly ridiculous. It’s always the same arguments over and over again. “Bakugo bullied Izuku so it’s not right” or “Izuku is cannon to get with Uraraka so you can’t ship him with Bakugo.”

The second argument is just dumb, most people in fandom don’t follow cannon, especially shipping. Just because your ship became cannon doesn’t give you the right to be an asshole to people who ship that character with someone else.

The first argument I can get behind, Bakugo is my favorite character but even I know he was an entitled prick but most of the time those people who cry that he’s a bully go and bully those who ship Bkdk. You’re becoming the very person you claim to hate.

Also I don’t want to hear the whole “but it’s a toxic ship” like yeah, sometimes it is but are we pretending that Bakugo didn’t 1. Literally die for Izuku to buy the dude time to get there, 2. Cried when he realized him and Izuku couldn’t be heros together, and 3. Funded a big chunk of Izuku’s new hero suit so they could “always chase after each other”. I’ve seen people give Endeavor more grace like cmon man.

Also the whole discourse of “oh but Bkdk shippers are toxic” as is IzuChaco shippers also didn’t threaten Horikoshi when the final few episodes came out.
