@MrJohnJnr Ok but codeine is available over the counter in other countries. It should just be treated like alcohol.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump Reclassifies Marijuana To Schedule III – “I PROMISED COMMON SENSE. THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I’M DOING.” [VIDEO]
🔥 In a bold move grounded in medical science and realism, President Trump has reclassified marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, placing it alongside codeine-based medications. The decision marks a major policy shift rooted in logic, not ideology.
🚨 A HISTORIC POLICY SHIFT BASED ON REALITY

@MindTrapMaven @romanhelmetguy "Women want to make the same amount of money as men" and "Women want to marry men who make more money than them" are, in fact, contradictory goals. One of those goals or another is going to have to be sacrificed.
English

It's very simple actually: Women don't want to earn *less* than men, they just want men to earn *more* than them.
William Meijer@williameijer
The overwhelming majority of women looking to marry want a man who makes more money than they do. Gender equality makes it mathematically impossible for a large swath of the female population to find someone they like. And we wonder why coupling and fertility rates are so low
English

@TBGamer9000 @romanhelmetguy It’s not going to make as much of a difference as you think it would
English

@MindTrapMaven @romanhelmetguy We just need to get rid of affirmative action for women. Actually based on a recent study, women’s jobs are most threatened by ai so the problem takes care of itself
English

@Levin0945656 @xanxur @romanhelmetguy I think that’s fair criticism. But we live in an unfair world where women are economically punished for having kids, so there is also logic behind this preference in trying to make up that perceived loss with the husbands wages.
English

@MindTrapMaven @xanxur @romanhelmetguy The point I'm making isn't prescriptive about male wages, it's just that a proper feminist would work to get rid of that preference because of its origins in patriarchal norms and how it can eventually lead to reconstructing other patriarchal norms.
English

This is a non sequitur - conclusion does not follow. Someone reported statistics for women’s preferences on average. An analogy on the dating market might be…Men prefer cute girls on average. Using the logic of men who want to artificially inflate male wages or deflate female wages through legislation or government intervention….does that mean we should structurally or legally enforce artificially enhancing women’s looks en mass while simultaneously uglifying men in the hope marriage rates go up? Free taxpayer plastic surgery clinics for gals and conscripted facial mutilation for males?
No, you wouldn’t advocate for that because it doesn’t benefit you directly, hurts you, and hurts your take home wages. Plus it’s illogical.
English

@MindTrapMaven @xanxur @romanhelmetguy I don't think you understand the consequences of the point you are making.
If what you are saying is true, it makes sense for parents to financially invest in sons more. It makes sense to promote a man over a women all else equal because family formation is good
English

@Ore_Dear Why is he only doing this to cute girls. Love to see him do this to 6 ft tall buff guys

@LanceVader @romanhelmetguy My taxes come out the same as anyone. How are my earnings artificially boosted?
English

@MindTrapMaven @romanhelmetguy In an age where women's earnings are artificially boosted with government programs intended to advance their earnings above that of men, can you see how that's kind of a problem?
English

@xanxur @romanhelmetguy Where did I say that men should be paid less than women for equal work?
English

@MindTrapMaven @romanhelmetguy Talk is grass. You already showed what you support.
English

@xanxur @romanhelmetguy I don’t believe anyone should get a job because of anything but merit.
English

@MindTrapMaven @romanhelmetguy Laws don't focus on Larry being lazy, but on Lauren getting a job no matter how abysmally lazy or incompetent she is. Their logic is ruthless, a cardboard cutout of a woman will get hired and promoted to the top if that is what it takes to satisfy quotas. Nobody ever overpaid men
English

@xanxur @romanhelmetguy Women demanding that Lazy Larry in IT at work not get the promotion based on his gender is different from a woman in a dating context being more attracted to men who are able to make more money.
These are different contexts (work/mTe selection) and we’re conflating them.
English

@MindTrapMaven @romanhelmetguy Elite culture absorbed intersectional feminist dialectic, as stoking female greed helps squeeze the supply of women up. Women of all classes uniformly bandwagon this bribe system and help create the contradictory pressures of attacking mens' earnings and demanding they outearn.
English

@Schleichfreund @romanhelmetguy It’s often explained by caretaking and childbirth
English


@MindTrapMaven @romanhelmetguy Actually we should just pay women less
English

@LMSisTruth @romanhelmetguy I don’t think we are given artificial advantages.
My experience has been the opposite.
English

@MindTrapMaven @romanhelmetguy That would make sense if women were not given artificial advantages from birth over their male counterparts but sadly that is not the case.
You don't get to pick and choose your "equality". Either you are 100% equal with men and given no special advantages, or you're not.

English

@MindTrapMaven @romanhelmetguy How about we meet in the middle and repeal the 19th amendment and criminalize women using the internet?
English

72% of Congress is male so women aren’t really legislating and equal pay for equal work is not the same as wanting men to earn less en mass.
Individual women preferring individual male mates with higher incomes is different from creating a gender based underclass for women en mass. Because assortive mating.
English

@MindTrapMaven @romanhelmetguy Men function in the same economy as women and women legislate against men earning more regardless of effort.
