now THIS is a proper repurposing of that stupid incel diagram! xD

thank you! :)

Well, I’m happy that this isn’t incel shit. And I am happy not to be so exposed to it regularly. To me, it looks way too inside their mental codes, still can’t find it funny, but anyway. Thanks for the patience

jokes work on shared assumptions. This joke is political imho, and trying to avoid it saying that “this was a joke” when it doesn’t criticize these hetersexist assumptions, for me, it strengthens them.

what is a Wendy’s? edit: i see that it’s a USA fast food chain with decreasing international success. Did you mean that it’s a local, low quality, fast joke?

This graph is so wrong in so many ways…

• People can feel attracted by more than one person at a time
• Women can feel attracted by other women
• Non binary people exist and, as a matter of fact, can also feel attracted by other people (wow!) This gets ironic, as today is #transDayOfVisibility
• The reverse graph with hetero-normie men focusing on cisgender women with normative beauty, is a worse problem than yours, sorry. Men can be valued by skills, body, intellect, etc. but the norm teaches us that women can only be valued if they are “pretty” and “sexy” enough

Dating is hard because we live miserable lifes, are very individualized by capitalism, deposit lots of expectations and pities of ourselves into others, and don’t treasure (intimate) friendship enough, intergender and intergenerational friendship included.

The “average guy” has poor emotional skills, is depressed, has no real friends and thinks that a girlfriend will be his salvation. The “average guy” needs therapy, friends, needs to learn to listen, to empathise and to show his own vulnerability instead of hiding and pretending to be a rock. That is, learn to take care of himself and to take care of others, and value this as an unavoidable adult skill. The “guy who attracts arrows” probably needs the same, but has a higher sexual capital because of birth lottery.

Focus on making some sense of your own life first and interesting people will start popping out, you will make some friends, and at some point you will mate someone.

Marriage and the nuclear family is a product of the Catholic church teaming up with capitalism. Western history and non-western world is full of extended families and communities. Consider not making it your life goal, it can be disappointing to achieve it.

You’ve done nothing wrong. If the children thing could find any brain space, it was because liberals were “tolerating” trans people. If instead they really felt and understood gender as a social construct and a way to express oneself, and relate to others (or whatever your transfeminist definition of gender is), then there’s no way to go “too far” by teaching that to children, or just showing the diversity that develops out of it. “You’ve gone too far” sounds something that a zookeeper says to a jailed monkey who many smiled to when jailed, but became angry and upset when the monkey wanted to go out through the bars and be treated equally.

My point is: a shallow opinion for support, can become a shallow opinion against, in a short time. Gotta keep fighting.

Just, this. Haven’t anyone risen the point that in boxing there is segregation by weight? And in some sports by age? Also, clearly, black people in general have genetic superiority in (i think) explosive force and inferiority in swimming because of muscle fiber density.

However, wouldn’t segregate athletes by “race” be called racist? Why doing so by “sex” isn’t “sexist”?

Why aren’t athletes segregate by testosterone levels, however way this should be measured? Or height? Or weight? Or foot length? Or age? Like, poor post-35 athletes, they can’t have a fair race against 20-somethings, they have a natural disadvantage. Or, I don’t know, just “marks”, and let compete people with similar marks together, and let’s see what people in different marks or categories have to offer. Anyone know whether if in boxing lighter fights are like faster or more agile than heavier?

All this biologicist criteria of “poor women” is bullshit. Yes, where there is a clear T gap and this gives cis women a fair competition and representation, and it has value, but it is taken to the absurd like with chess, as it’s been already said.

Outside of sports, the definition of a “biological women” is also racist and eurocentrist. Like, european cis-women tend to have more hair than east-asian men. And african/black women tend to muscle up way easier than white men. Also, height difference betwen “sexes” isn’t a thing in the Andes, it’s just not real. And taking andinian people, they may be shorter in height and may not run as fast as a whitie, but take that race to 4000 m above sea level and let’s see who can endure half a marathon and is “naturally superior”.

I am really fed up by racist and patriarchal arguments trying to hide behind a science with overfunded biases.

They actually cut it down quite a bit from what it was a grassroots law with support of politicians. And it was possible amidst the inner confusion of PSOE itself, with its transphobe “feminism” wings taking positions inside the party. There was a gap of possibility between the two discourses:

And some sources: actually PSOE tried to cut it down a lot, but faced too much opposition mostly in the streets, and defended by the equality minister of the more leftist then-coalition party Unidas Podemos. https://www.elsaltodiario.com/ley-trans/psoe-asume-no-puede-recortar-ley-trans-aprobación-dictamen-sin-enmiendas

Also, one of the “successful” cuts was against non-binary people.
