At the risk of losing brain cells, I’m extremely curious what her reasoning is here.
Is it just cause it’s childish? Is shaming men for liking childish things not enforcing toxic masculinity?
If Cindy is commenting on him liking something she considers childish, then Cindy is indeed a bitch.
But if she’s commenting on his apparent expectation that it be free for men in their twenties as if he’s owed something, that I can kinda see her point.
Would be nice if she made her point in a way in which her meaning could be clearly understood.
Maybe because he advocates for something to be free for men instead of everybody?
Is saying tampons should be free for women toxic femininity?
As a guy, I biologically need to go-kart once a month.
The red flag I see is the word “Caucasian” in his username.
I suspect it’s a joke based on The Office. Oe of the main characters is a Triscuit-American called Jim. There is a different character called Asian Jim. Caucasian James = white Jim.
But “Caucasian” is now recognized as a racist term (in that using it produces racism), kind of because it’s a science-y word for “white”, an unscientific concept.
Who recognizes “Caucasian” as a racist term? I’m asking this in all seriousness as I have never heard this before
Caucasian should mean “from the Caucus mountain region”
Which leads in perfectly to another joke from the US version of The Office where Dwight claims that Kelly, of Indian heritage, doesn’t qualify for their parent company Sabre’s “Print in All Colours” initiative because Indian people are technically Caucasian
Reminds me of that old chestnut of the white guy from South Africa who, after emigrating to the US, got into trouble for stating he was “African-American.”
I had a friend who moved to the US from South Africa as a kid. When “African-American” started being used she was very confused. She would ask “How is X ‘African’ when he was born in New Jersey and only speaks English while I was born in South Africa and speak Swahili and Xhosa is not African just because Im white?” It was then I started realizing how racist some of the attempts to counter racism ended up being.
No.
I suppose this doesn’t exactly suggest it’s deprecated in Twitter handles. But if the scientists have given up on it, why should normal people keep it?
No.
A couple researchers suggesting a literary review of the specific usage of a word and how it is used in specific contexts within scientific literature is a far cry from the idea that scientists in general are claiming that the word caucasian is a generally racist word.
I don’t know that scientists in general (from chemists to seismologists) know it, but the people who study what scientists ought to call groups of people seem to have reached consensus.
No, read the fucking link you provided, that is not at all what it’s saying.
If you do things that bring you joy, frequently, you’re less likely to become all festery and bitter, angry goblin.
I struggle to see what Cindy’s getting at, it’s ridiculous, of course, but I’m still curious and can’t imagine in my wildest dreams, why, because someone wants socialism and she’s brainwashed to believe capitalism is the only way? I don’t get it.
I think motor “sports”, competition, noise, speed and fossil fuel is what triggers red flag. Or Ami wrong ?
Competitive mindset = being an ass?
Yes
