parents are allowed to straight-up torture their kids with zero consequences. they can withhold food and water, lock you out of shelter, confiscate your belongings, bar you from human contact, attack and harm you and exert complete control over your physical appearance. and this is just the norm. if you speak out against it you're seen as a delinquent or a predator. even otherwise progressive people get uncomfortable with the idea of dismantling the nuclear family unit because they still see it as the best way to keep kids safe when that simply couldn't be further from the truth. it's evil.
You know, I'm stuck wondering if this is someone doing a legitimate claim, without understanding that all these things can, do, and have resulted in people arrested for child neglect and physical harm?
Or if this is a hyperbolic overstating of minor punishments like grounding you from using your phone, or keeping you from dying your hair orange.
Like it's ridiculous for two different reasons depending on which.
This is an awesome use of what is probably a master's degree if not a doctorate and I am 100% thrilled that she shared it even though it was embarrassing and she squeaked.
Oh my god, I did something very similar as a kid to aerate the steam out of the bathroom after I showered, or my glasses would fog up so much I couldn't see.
Is this not just intuitive? I knew "hot air leave, cooler air replaces" just like that when i was a kid. This ain't collage level shit and if you're bragging it is...you need a refund on that degree.
Traditionally anti-submarine rockets were basically depth charges, along similar lines to anti-submarine mortars.
If they're talking about the type that the US and Japan uses (more so Japan), VL-Asroc, they're basically a delivery system for a mk46 torpedo (the type used by ASW aircraft).
I asked Grok to gender swap the pic to illustrate how different it hits when it's attacking the other half of the human race:
It's crazy how the second version feels deeply uncomfortable and unacceptable in polite society, whereas the original version feels so common to be unremarkable - the water we swim in, something we see every day, on TV and films and all corporate media.
The French author explains why a ‘general, negative feeling’ towards men can be healthy and even helpful.
>That query and the succeeding answer was initially intended for a small audience. Harmange got an unexpected publicity boost, however, when an adviser to the French minister of gender equality tried to have the book banned for inciting sex-based hatred. As a result, its initial 400-copy press has now ballooned into the tens of thousands and the slim volume has been sold internationally, including here in Canada in a recently released English translation.
...Ah.
What’s the problem with thinking of misandry as the flip side of misogyny?
It’s a show of bad faith, because everyone knows there’s no system that empowers women when they hate men.
...Said the woman who has a best-selling book about hating men, in her media interview about hating men.
Also, notice the classic bigot (classic) tactic of assuming everyone secretly agrees with them, and anyone who apparently disagrees is lying.
>. I would say that misogyny is the tool of the oppressor and misandry is the response of the oppressed, so there’s no parallel that can be made.
Which would work a lot better if "misandry" was considered only something women can do, and people who talked about it didn't complain about sexist men as well.
Very often government officials.
>, but men are [an] oppressive [force] and the world is built to please the men;
This is a French WW2 graveyard.
France conscripted men. In fact, it was apparently the first modern nation to have universal conscription, and only stopped less than three decades ago.
Which was also when they finally included women in national service registration.
>Men seem incapable of imagining a world where there would be no patriarchy but where there would also be no matriarchy.
Another common feminist bit of projection.
For reasons previously discussed.
I did find a bunch of news articles defending the book, including one which implied it's okay to hate men as long as it's not personal.
The exact same sort of "as a class" fig leaf I saw on /r/Askfeminists, and in loads of feminist defenses of misandry.
Imagine someone said they only hated women or any minority group "as a class".
From the NY times;
> For Harmange, who volunteers with an association supporting rape victims, misandry had come to feel like the best concept to express her frustration with structural gender violence. “It was an insult you would get as a feminist,” she said. “Whatever you say, as soon as you criticize men, you’re accused of being a misandrist. That’s when I realized: Actually, that’s exactly it.”
Except people who are not feminist and even opposed to feminism criticize men all the time.
And few people call them sexist or misandric. Even feminist prefer to blame "toxic masculinity".
"For this woman, bigotry felt like the best concept to express her frustration. She was praised for this, because she employed the same broken logic used by all bigots against a group it's socially acceptable to direct it towards."
So a right-wing conservative extremist was convinced to blow up a government building to destroy documents?
I'm pretty sure murdering hundreds of people would do even more damage to Hilary if that ever got out, and it would leave a much wider paper and witness trail than a real estate scandal.
And also like 9/11 theories, the attack could've always just gone wrong in a way that didn't achieve the goals. Explosves are not known for being surgical and precise.
Right. But they the evil masterminds at least needed to destroy the records for sure, and a lot of things might've gone south and not destroyed them.
Unless they had total control over not-so-little Timmy, he could've gone off-script.
Cui bono is not proof positive, OP, especially when there's an even worse downside.
Also, why would a scandal in Arkansas have all the critical documents stored in Oklahoma? I checked, and apparently there wasn't even a DOJ office in the place.
There's no evidence in the case files that vital documents were destroyed, nor statements by any officials. In fact, they explicitly said they didn't have documents there.

I looked up the OpEd that supposedly popularized the term, and it also mentioned Hispanics and Black people were also more likely to avoid getting the shot.
Of course, it didn't discuss them for the rest of the article.
And it certainly didn't mention the BLM protests that btoke Da Rulez.
Progs hate small businesses because they're an example of capitalism working as intended while communism continues never worked as intended to begin with
Yeah they hate to see people succeeding in life. Which explains why they are fans of communism.
If there's nothing extremists hate more than moderates, there's nothing reds hate more than evidence against "tthe idea that "capitalists are just evil gigantic corporations!"
they also ignore how businesses can be worker-owned co-ops. Like;
Instead of stripping every adult on the internet of their privacy to keep the comparatively smaller population of children out of spaces that are inappropriate for them, I propose we assign children a couple of responsible adults each who can help them use the internet in an age appropriate and safe way. They could set individualized restrictions and guardrails to keep kids from being exposed to things that might hurt them and help teach them how to safely exist among strangers and perhaps even how to manage minor discomfort so that it does not become debilitating to them later in life. Think about it! Kids could get the chance to grow and learn and participate in society and have someone there to help them with that and make sure things don't get out of hand. Kind of like how we teach kids to participate in real world spaces a little bit at a time with the help of responsible adults who look out for their safety. Wouldn't that be cool? I wonder what we could call those responsible adults... oh! I know!
I'm not Jewish but watching people on the left not only unironically but casually repeat the kind of shit that the OG Nazis were saying in the 30s and then disregard me when I tell them that (with receipts) is scary AF. Somewhere down the line, the ideas and language of social justice got swerved in a very bad way so that antisemitism would still be "ok."
This was actually completely obvious when you realize modern social justice isn't about lifting up the needy, bit tearing down "The Oppressor" and encouraging cruelty manipulation and ostracization against those deemed as part of "the oppressor", along with the absolute insane and blatantly untrue rhetoric that Free Speech and Gun Ownership were things used only by "The Oppressor" as tools to "Oppress."
All of which i cannot possibly overstate should've been massive red flags for anyone who paid attention to how the Nazis came to power.
Or, to put it another way "Everything in the world could be fixed if we just do Good Thing. The only reason we can't do Good Thing is because Bad People are stopping us. If we can just get rid of all the Bad People, we could do Good Thing and fix everything."
> “But the atrocities that person/group committed weren’t done in the name of communism/atheism/feminism!”
> “They did nothing wrong. The oppressed have every right to lash out against their oppressors.”
> Appeal to slavery/the Crusades/the Inquisition
> “That event never happened. You only think it did because conservatives/fundamentalists corrupted the historical facts and you believe their propaganda.”
A lot of people here in FL have done some cool houses out of them. They put them up 3 foot tall concrete pillars and a metal frame. Bolt them to the metal frame. One local guy did 7 containers together and advertises it as "storm proof" which they are.
There’s a lot of added fabrication involved with using them. They were designed to take a lot of weight straight down to specific points. As soon as you start cutting holes in them their integrity is out the window, literally. As a builder I am not a fan of these things at all.
That's exactly what it is. You're better off disassembling them and using the corrugated steel if you're hellbent on using them, or just buy the metal stock if you like the look.
