I mean, i think this is a pretty shared feeling in both men and women. No use is fragmentating hatred.
Structural misogyny, so it's mostly the horrible old men doing it.
Im sure the horrible old women would be just as vile if we let them. (But we don't)
Nobodys blaming the not-horrible old men. Nobody's gunning for bernard sanders steve woczniak or mel brooks. Id mix a mocktail with metamucil in it for those guys any time.
Also, maybe pay attention to adjectives!
Also, maybe pay attention to adjectives!
... I'm sorry but could you elaborate? English isn't my first language, so the problem is genuinely flying over my head.
Adjectives, words that function to modify or specify another word.
In the context of verbs-that's action words- i might say 'I walked carefully down the path beneath grandma's window'-the adjective there is 'carefully', so you know this wasn't a leisurely stroll to grandmas house, but a treacherous overgrown path, or i don't want grandma to know im coming for that sweet sweet inheritance, or grandma thinks the geneva conventions are 'cucked-ass yankee shit', or maybe i just want my favorite old war criminal to enjoy her nap without interruption.
So in the context of nouns, thats people places and things, 'terrible old men'
Refers to men (that's a noun!)
But only the ones who are both terrible and old.
So, for example, a nine year old boy who rapes the family dog for shock value would not be in this group-he certainly sounds terrible, but nine years is not very old. We arent talking about him.
And a very old man who isn't terrible, maybe the 90 year old guy who helped liberate dachau, came home, researched vaccines for the rest of his career then retired to his hobby of whittling toys for the neighborhood children. OP isn't talking about him. He's not ruining anything. He sounds great. More of that guy please.
So, 'the quick brown fox' would mean we're talking about the fox who is quick and brown, not the quick red fox, or the other brown fox with the busted leg and the opium habit.
And when we say the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog, you know we're talking about the lazy dog, and not the border collie who compulsively herds everything never seems to sleep and has so much energy it really seems to be a problem! Were talking about a fox (the quick brown one) jumping over a dog (the lazy one).
And now you know what adjectives are!
I think they're asking both men and women if they think old psychotic men ruining the world is annoying.
Because while psychotic billionaire women surely exist, I think we can agree that most autocrats and other crazy blood-hungry politicians are usually male.
I mean, name a female despot from modern times? History has a few. Queen Mary aka "Bloody Mary", Cleopatra, Catherine the Great, etc. But they're clearly a minority, just like with serial killers and other violent criminals.
Idk if Hilary would've done much better first term. Shes like the archetype of chaotic evil pretending to be good.
Well no, obviously it's not just an issue of mostly men being politicians. Reality isn't exactly that black and white. But it does highlight... something.
Thatcher? Thatcher was pretty bad.
But that's beside the point that caustic masculinity, excess wealth, and patriarchy need to meet the guillotine.
I thought about her, yeah, but she wasn't a proper autocrat, was she?
Kinda hard to be with a queen above you, really. But yeah she wasn't nice at all.
Witchcraft and resisting the patriarchy are both gender neutral activities.
"Witchcraft," historically, has been used (by old white dudes) as a means of punishment and control of women.
“Women are too emotional to be leaders”
hahahahhahahahhahahahahahahaahahahhahahahahhahahahhaha
/me takes deep breath
hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhaha
Women are too emotional to be leaders
Seems to only ever be said by people who don't count anger as an emotion.
In my experience it’s said by people who have no respect for women
Well yeah! Have you ever seen the turd doing anything that he (or the world) would regret?
(I am trying to write this with a straight face, it's hard)
This is not a gender issue - more female CEOs and shit aint gonna fix the system. I am fed up of wealthy people ruining the world and you should be too.
If anybody thinks otherwise, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Karoline Leavitt, etc
I was never not sick of it. I even tried to convince people to vote against it.
“Psychotic old people” it’s not just old men voting for these idiots.
Too bad the only language they understand is violence but we're all domesticated to think that's unacceptable
The great thing about domestication is that when enough people are unhoused, it fixes itself!
Who will ruin the world for the rest of us, though? I have serious concerns about a population who does not have complaints about leadership.
Don't worry. I think large language models are up for this one.
Certainly no shortage of training data
health secretary said we gotta put rocks and glue on all pizza
So.... Pebbledash pies only?
looks like.
But we can have other toppings too still, right?
yep! I made sure to check. Pebbles sausage and glue is cleared.
But we still get to have vaccines, right?
yeah. I asked. Also, taking flouride out of the water
...why!?
replacing it with LSD.
Honestly, I'm so fucking over men's rule in general. How about we let women rule instead?
Do you think Margaret Thatcher effectively utilized girl power by funneling money to illegal paramilitary death squads in Northern Ireland?
Like Thatcher?
I'm not trying to defend men here, in fact they are horrible; but it's not like history hasn't seen horrible female leaders. Almost like it's a human instead of a gender-specific trait
We should try no gods no masters for a change.
We tried that. She was as power hungry as the rest of them.
Simply replacing the gender of those in power does not change the systemic conditions of power. In other words, a system designed by and as a patriarchy does not cease to be a patriarchy because it is run by women. It would only cease as such by the very same systemic changes needed to bring non-(wealthy-CISHet-WASPs) into the the majority of leadership.
I truly do not want a government loaded full of MTG's nor Barretts.
I agree - let's have bourgeois women shafting workers instead of bourgeois men shafting workers.
We're progressive like that!
And this is how david hogg got fired after winning the dnc election. We dont need one type of person, what we need are qualified individuals no matter what gender or race.
Do you think the Spice Girls effectively utilized girl power by funneling money to David Beckham's estate?
