But they can't say "I'm going to rewrite this in that other language" because that's the thing they hate about rust, so if they said that it would be too obvious that they're full of shit.
Any body could just go to down detector. And of course effectively check the status of cloud flare based on if downdetector shows this page themselves.
Ah yes. Half the internet going down for an hour. Planned maintenance so it's ok. No, it's not ok. This is a major infrastructure company. You don't need to bring down your service to perform maintanance. That's only for small businesses for whom it's not worth it to maintain the service up while doing maintainance.
I'm not dying on any hill. I am explaining why young men are turning right. But you're doing a better job than I am, explaining why discriminating against men is somehow totally okay.
If this was swapped and they were chosen just for being boys, some would be absolutely furious. But because it's the other way around, it's no big deal. Ok. Now ask yourself why young men are not as pro-feminism as they once were.
Maybe if American "cars" were actually car sized, they would need a lot less material to be made, and require a less powerful cheaper motor to move all that metal around.
For someone whose "job is not to educate me", you've been pretty engaged in replying to every comment.
I'm educated. I know what the theory of gender you believe is, I just don't think it is true. I can read a wikipedia article, but I cannot argue with it.
Yet again, I am left with no definition of man/woman given by a pro-trans person.
First of all. We probably don't agree on what gender is. You're treating it as a matter of fact and that you're right and I'm wrong. And then you're using that definition to base most of the rest of the arguments.
So if you want to convince me with those arguments, you have to first give a definition of man/woman that satisfies me.
You claim that those demands don't affect me, but they do. Every financial help that the government offers affects everyone, since everyone is paying for it. In general changing any rule/law affects everyone in one way or another.
The gay movement was different, they mostly demanded societal change. The only rule/law I can think of that was changed for them is about marriage. Which we mostly all accepted since we as a society were more accepting because of the previous societal change.
With trans, however, they are demanding changes to rules/laws without previous societal change. They haven't yet come up with a definition of gender that most people agree to, you can't change rules/laws for things that most people don't even agree if it exists or not.
Ah. I see you completely ignored one of the 2 examples. You're also assuming I'm in the US (which I'm not, I'm a Spaniard). You only mentioned the photo thing, but completely ignored the entrepreneurship program.
I only mentioned the photo thing because for years I've been hearing that we live in a sexist society because some films don't pass the bechdel test (idk if it's spelled like that, I hope you know what I mean). Yet when men are completely erased from media then it's because they are neck bearded fat guys. Again, this is not the US, this is Spain, the boys are fit good looking young men. Of course, my girlfriend is way prettier, but the boys are not ugly.
I didn't give examples for the trans thing because I thought it to be self-evident and writing these posts take quite a bit of time. But here you go:
(Below when I say trans I mean "some trans and allies", of course not all of them think 100% the same)
Trans demand the rules of sports be changed so they can participate in their preferred league.
Trans demand they change laws so they are based around their belief of how gender works.
If there are gender-specific subsidies (which again, I don't think they should be), trans demand it is given to them.
Trans demand official documents reflect their view of gender.
Some trans even demand their cosmetic surgeries be paid by the government.
Also, the order of the issues neither in this comment nor in the previous one is in any way related to importance, IDK why you assumed that in the first place. And again, IDK why you assume US, most of the 7th paragraph only applies to the US. If trans were just saying "we exist, let us exist, don't hate us just for existing" like the rest of LGB, I don't think it would be an issue. Instead they say "we exist, and even if we are the 0.001% (made up number), we demand 50% of society's focus, and if you don't treat us exactly the way we want, then you're a nazi".
EDIT: sure, just ignore the concerns and read only the "weak" ones. And young men turning right will be as surprising to you as people not liking AI is surprising to Microsoft execs.
By women privilege I don't mean anything to do with rape or sexual assault. Although laws that say "doing X to a woman is sexual assault" could easily say "doing X to a human is sexual assault" and nobody would complain, but that doesn't score as much political points for leftist politicians.
I mean things like scholarships, entrepreneurship subsidies, gender-bas hiring quotas.
And many other things that used to be "micro-sexism" when it was done against women, now it's done against men.
As an example, here's some anecdotal evidence: my girlfriend studies mechanical manufacturing in a public school, they are about 10 people in class, 2 of them women. Every year they take photos/videos of students working to advertise their school. 2/2 times they "chose" the 2 women to appear in the mechanical manufacturing adds, 0 men.
Later on, each group made a project and submitted it for a government program for entrepreneurs. They only chose 1 group from her class (guess which one, the one with 2 women). When they attended the gathering of the awarded ones, they asked the organizers and they admitted that no group for their class was good enough, they only got in because they were 2 women in a mechanical manufacturing class.
Every time I say cases like this there is one of 2 responses from the left:
Of course! We have to compensate since men have it easier!
That's just anecdotal evidence. The thing you describe never happens
I never hear this reaction:
3. Yeah that's fucked up, the men in that class are 2nd class citizens in the presence of women.
First of all. I don't know why you are even assuming I voted for Donald Trump or the US republican party. I'm not even American, and I have never voted to any non-leftwing party. And I have voted in every national election I was allowed to vote in. So you can stop with that.
Those quotes become leftist talking points when many leftists use them, and other leftists don't call them out on it, and you're a Nazi if you don't agree with those quotes.
What is a leftist position if not something that leftists say and they exclude you from leftism if you don't agree to?
You claim that the left doesn't vilify white men. That it just vilifies their behaviour. Yet I often see phrases like "all men are trash", "whites are the reason the world is fucked up", "I would rather be with a bear than a man".
Congratulations, you found the problem. It's easier to say "all white men should die" than "these rich and powerful individuals that made society worse should die". Guess what happens when you take the easy route all the time.
I will get down voted for this. But if you want an answer, here's what I believe happens:
Initially young men were mostly okay with social left, because: "let gay people be gay", "don't treat women worse than men", "don't be hateful to foreigners" are easy to agree to, they follow the principles of "let people do whatever they want if it doesn't affect you", "every human should be treated equally" and "don't hate entire groups of people for attributes they can't control, some individuals are good and some are bad in every group".
However, social left has moved the goalpost. Now it is: "we have to change the rules for the trans", "we have to give women privilege to compensate for misogyny", "we have to give minorities privilege to compensate for X-ism" which follow different principles than the first paragraph. And with the moving of the goalpost comes "if you are to the right of the goalpost after being moved, you are a fascist and a Nazi and I don't wanna hear what you have to say".
I liked and agreed with the first paragraph a lot. But I don't like the second one at all. And I believe this happens to a lot more young men.
That being said, I'm not retarded, I would never fote for a right wing party, specially since they are doing the same and moving the goalpost to the right so much that most of them are actually fascists.
But they can't say "I'm going to rewrite this in that other language" because that's the thing they hate about rust, so if they said that it would be too obvious that they're full of shit.
