This is making fun of performative wokeness, not white people.

Half of these are still in use simply because some people think they’re cool, or when someone prefers to not have to rely on technology (e.g. paper maps don’t run out of electricity while you’re on a long hike).

Btw for the capsaicin thing. It’s one of the going theories for why warmer places all around earth tend to traditionally eat much spicier foods than colder places. Food spoils faster in the heat, and the spice both masks the spoilt taste and can help, or is thought to help, cleanse you of parasites.

(I know spicy plants don’t grow in colder places, too, but the tendency holds for colder regions that would have had access to hot plants)

Yeah I’m so fascinated by the apparent 3d printing of some sort of construction product that I’m barely noticing the Shrek. I want to learn what that is

Ok but absolutely slaying in terms of your look intimidates people and makes them leave you alone

From experience, I can tell you this is actually short haired vs long haired people. You can’t really grow out your hair without the ends going to shit if you mistreat it.

Hair darkens with age in most people, no?

Personally dislike these performative overly pc terms. Call me an aspie slut or sth

Can confirm, have takeny concerta, skipped most of it to look for the joke and only read the second from last one properly. Efficient humor consumption.

Yeah, this is how you know it’s fake. She’s the type for a pre-PP Walther. She’d also carry it in a case, because that’s what gun owners in Europe generally do. Also, there’s no reason for her to carry the coke, it’s served on a silver platter on demand.

I said society. The word ‘men’ isn’t even in the thing I said that you quoted. Much less ‘all men’. Both men and women saw reproduction as a woman’s responsibility. Can you explain why that’s a sexist thing to say? Or, if it’s not true, why nobody tried to research male hormonal birth control at the same time they were researching female hormonal birth control?

Also, I didn’t have to look that up. It’s common knowledge. But, as I said, there’s no reason to believe your claim that barrier methods were ever solely men’s responsibility. You didn’t even really offer evidence or a justification for that claim.

I also never said men are pricks. I said that the responsibility to use barrier methods isn’t always on men and that women who have casual sex with men could easily confirm that. There’s people who are being responsible and people who are being irresponsible of any gender. Once again, I’m just taking issue with your claim that barrier methods are and always were men’s responsibility.

100% agree. The fact that they’re only researching it now has been hurting everyone involved.

Can you please point out the thing I said that you consider sexist, and why? I’m striving not to be, and like to learn where I can.

Ok I’ll ignore the name calling one last time.

I’ll put it super simply, in the hope that you misunderstanding me wasn’t as intentional as it comes across

1. barrier methods have always been, and continue to be, a shared responsibility

2. all other non-permanent methods have been purely on women until very recently.

This sounds like it would make sense on the surface, but is just not true. You can look up pretty easily that there wasn’t really any research on the viability of male hormonal birth control until half a century after female hormonal birth control became a thing, so it’s not like they made a rational decision based on scientific findings. When they found out how to do it for men, it was roughly comparably complicated, with similar side effects. This too is easy to look up.

It makes sense that the side effects were too much to legalize hormonal male birth control because today’s standards are much higher. Which is a good thing ofc- im glad they don’t allow new medication as easily as they did in the past. Female birth control wouldn’t be legalized if it was invented today, and neither would, for example, aspirin. They get to stay around because they don’t take that stuff back out usually, even if it wouldn’t pass modern standards. That’s a bit of a tangent though.

Why is everyone in this thread acting like men are always the ones providing and insisting on using barrier methods? Have yall talked to a woman who’s had casual sex before about what it’s like out there?

It’s less of a conspiracy and more that it didn’t even occur to society until pretty recently (in historical terms) that reproduction isn’t solely a woman’s responsibility

Thanks for this reminder that I can ardently disagree with someone’s opinion and still think absolutely nothing less of them.

If you think you’re helping the vegan cause, you’re not. Veganism is a moral stance, not a diet, and can be any combination of healthy, unhealthy, high or low in calories.

I was going to comment exactly this, except I’m not American
