@TheLowkeyMummy @alfkkifine Marriage has always been a contract for consistent sex. It was never officially written that way to spare the fragile ego of women. The only benefits men gain from marriage are sex and children.

This particular narrative skips a lot. Marriage isn't a contract for guaranterd sex on demand from women; its a partnership where intimacy reflects the health of the relationship. And if that part dissappears, its usually a symptom (resentment, stress, mental load,etc) not some free pass women get.
Lets be honest, men are not universally taking up “100% of traditional duties” either and yet still expect access. And again, courts dont just take everything, it depends on whats fair for the kids, finance and caregiving roles.
Also calling it “forced celibacy” as if someone owes you sex is exactly why the conversation gets shut down. The real problem is not “double standards” it's not addressing why the connection shuts down in the first place.
English
The ultimate double standard in modern marriage is the unilateral cancellation of vows. A man is socially and legally expected to fulfill 100% of his traditional duties, to provide, protect, finance, and remain strictly faithful. But a woman can completely abandon the physical and intimate aspects of the marriage for years with zero societal pushback. If he complains, he is shamed as needy or predatory. If he files for divorce to escape a lifetime of forced celibacy, the courts will take his house, his kids, and his income. He is essentially trapped in a legally binding roommate contract where his utility is violently demanded, but his humanity is completely ignored.

what opinion about men do you have that makes people feel like this???

Of course, your preference is your preference, so no one is crying about that, but ive seen a few who are like EEEEYUCK and I just wanna know what about it makes them gag.

Feminists actually respect men more than pick me tradwives' do. Tradwives reduce you to a paycheck and a bodyguard. They want a tool, not a partner. Feminists demand more from you because they know you're capable of more. They want emotional intelligence, shared responsibilities, and an authentic human being, not a 'provider' robot. Stop confusing 'submissiveness' with respect. Feminism is actually the one wanting to share the weight of the world with you.
Let that sink in.

Hot take:

@ElongatedWinner @planefag Only because citizenship is not asked about on the census. Only citizens are supposed to count towards electors/congressional seats. Why do you think demonrats screeched so loudly when Trump attempted to add 'are you a us citizen?' to the census?
English
@planefag lol, illegal immigrants help the electoral college system, not the popular vote.
English
The electoral college almost always favors the underdog and closes the gap between incumbent and challenger. Multiple other mechanisms in our governmental design accomplish this as well; for instance, voting day is always the first Tuesday in November, by law, rather than whenever the ruling party decides to call for an election within a year's time as in most parliamentary systems (which gives them immense advantage as they can move early or delay to exploit the news cycle, whereas in America the parties are always at the mercy of the last bad thing to happen.)
You're just assmad that you can't automatically gain permanent power forever by packing the country to the gills with illegal immigrants.
James Surowiecki@JamesSurowiecki
There's no good civic argument for the electoral college. It was arguably necessary to ensure the ratification of the Constitution, but it's an anti-democratic device that gives some American citizens far more voting power than others, based purely on where they live.

@winfriedmaus @JoshEdits Maybe because the switch 2 hardware is three generations behind everything else.
English
@JoshEdits Aha. And why is not everybody else simply porting to the Switch 2? Why does everybody look at an expensive PC and thinks of it as the Holy Grail? I have been using computers since 1982 and earn my living as Head of IT - and I fucking hate gaming on PC.
English
Nintendo porting to PC would be more beneficial to players rather than detrimental. Exclusivity only hurts the consumer.
Retro Dave@1GamewithDave1
What gaming opinion will you defend like this?
English
@night5731 @JoshEdits They were mad pc players didn't want to pay full price for games that had been out for a year already and pulled the plug. If they weren't retarded they would release the games on PS and PC at the same time
English
@JoshEdits Nintendo values it's exclusives, it's a business strategy to boost sales of consoles, and since the specs are always a generation behind this helps them maintain relevancy. It isnt always about the consumer, the company has its reasons. Also PS went back to exclusives
English
@Tobias_Arms @JoshEdits Consoles are sold at a loss, they make that money back, and more, from selling games. Nintendo would exist without exclusivity, the switch might not though.
English
@JoshEdits Kind for True though.
If Mario ran on the Sega genesis back in the day, why would anyone buy Nintendo machine.

Minister Melanie Joly says "changing" demographics contributed to the Liberal win in Terrebonne: "Very important community from Haiti, also from northern Africa...things are changing across the country"
English
@dannycantalk All three are correct though. The government wants more stupid third worlders to stay in power, the rich want more foreigners to depress our wages, and the foreigners are taking jobs that Americans could be doing but are passed over in favor of cheaper foreigners.
English
The political divide is really just choice of scapegoat, isn't it?
Left: "It's the rich!"
Right: "It's the foreigners!"
Libertarians: "It's the government!"
Sure, I think the 3rd has more truth to it. But in modern America, if you're poor it's mostly your own fault.

They'll want to tax the rich, but they'll never address the real problem...

@MUKIDEZA2 In the US it sort of is. They don't have any legal way to stop you but when you apply for a job somewhere that company will call all your previous work locations and ask about you.

@4nt1p4tt3rn Weird that they didn't give their votes to Trump last election isn't it.
English
If you think VA's recent move to give their electoral votes to whoever wins the popular vote isn't a big deal, you might want to check what other states are already doing it.
There's 18 others.
The electoral college is about to become irrelevant, and that's a very bad thing. Because the whole point of the electoral college is to prevent states with large populations from dictating who becomes president.

The violence used by NYPD officers in this video is extremely disturbing and unacceptable. Officers should never treat a person this way. The NYPD is conducting a full investigation into this incident.

@lieandred @BrodieOnLinux Every study done on piracy shows the opposite effect. The more a game was pirated the more money it made. Likely because people with limited money could try the game (like a demo) and find out if they wanted to spend money on the product. Also word of mouth from more people helps
English
@avenwing @BrodieOnLinux そう言う感覚なら少し理解が出来るけど、企業＝クリエイターの認識が日本だから多分この周知が進まないとずっと日本のオタクは反発すると思う。クリエイターへの支払いを拒否してる図式に見えるからね。ただ販売中の海賊版被害で日本企業が海外市場に行かない理由になってるのと同じ物と思っちゃうんだ

There's such a different response to this from Japanese fans and everyone else, most people are happy about a dead game being brought back by the community.
But I've seen a bunch of Japanese fans angry about this because it goes against the wishes of Square Enix.

@lieandred @BrodieOnLinux Piracy is making a comeback because of the very heavy handed DRM (affecting the stability of the game) and requirement for multiple game launchers to play whatever game you've bought. Also, taking away people's access to products they have purchased.
English
@lieandred @BrodieOnLinux So that Grok can translate it.
"The easiest way to stop piracy isn't by putting antipiracy technology to work. It's by giving those people a service that's better than what they're receiving from the pirates."
He proved this by almost killing piracy with steam. (1)
