You have the love the male commenters going “nuh-uh, that’s not what women experience!1” as they get offended and make it all about them and “not all men.” And then can’t figure out why this entire thread just lends this comment credibility. It was one of those every single thread things on reddit and it’s no different here. Except maybe worse.

Any policy that comes from this would also benefit men that have had to live with fake abusive images being generated of them. But some people would rather cut off their nose to spite their face. As long as women don’t get stuff, then it’s worth it for men have to suffer a little extra, amirite? /s

fuck straight white men.

But of course, this is what it always comes back to for men who try to make some transparent argument against protecting women from fake nude photos, revenge porn, domestic violence, sexual assault, sexual harassment, etc. It’s never a real argument. It’s some insecure guy getting his feelings hurt by just the mention of equality. They don’t feel special anymore, so they inevitably claim that women being protected from abuse is somehow a privilege. It’s just tired and predictable.

People care about women, you goon. Realize that there are many more important issues affecting the global landscape, we shouldn’t care about some fake naked pictures of a popstar.

This is the dumbest paragraph.

“People do care about women! That’s why ‘we shouldn’t care’ about the slew of abusive fake nude photos of them all over the internet! Literally every other problem on earth is more important than protecting women. See? I totally care!”

Don’t be obtuse and pretend you think this is just about “a popstar.” This problem and any legislation affects countless women and girls.

One thing about Lemmy is that it’s so much more misogynistic than reddit ever was, which I would have never thought possible.

What a gross comment

I am just saying that this burden shouldn’t fall on other people in material need.

Well, good thing it doesn’t in this case.

The whole point is that everything in this field is already, by default, directed at men. That’s what it’s like in the US. It’s the same with race. And saying we have have equality when we don’t is just ignoring the way these divisions affect historically oppressed groups. Acknowledging systemic hierarchy and division between races and genders in order to fix it doesn’t automatically mean you have to ignore class divisions. They’re far from mutually exclusive. Why would it be impossible to acknowledge both at the same time?

It’s to the point where no one else can have anything without men going “what about me and my problems?” “Well here’s what I think about all these social issues that have never and will never negatively affect me.” As usual, the “not all men” of every comment section of every article about a women-only-something-or-other are just making a great case for women-only-something-or-others.

this seems the completed detached thought of someone who never faced material difficulties.

Yes, all of your comments do.

I just noticed the other day that when I clicked on a seat I wanted, it took me to another page where it had a toggle to turn on “show ticket prices with fees included.” I bet that’s how they get around that. I even thought when I saw it how shady that is because it only shows up after you’ve already found a seat you’re interested in, but you’re not quite at the checkout yet. It somehow makes it worse because it’s so fucking blatant.

Bing has honestly been a lot better for me than google. I refused to use it for so long because it was just a joke when it first came out. But I started not being able to find any decent search results on google and the entire first page is now ads versus just the first few results. Bing also has an AI thing that will just give you a straight answer to a question and links to where it found it. I’d say to give it a try.

Didn’t he steal the idea from two other guys though

athletic advantages/disadvantages diminish after ~2 years of HRT

This is what I keep thinking whenever I hear about this “debate.” But I guess if the bigots admitted they know how hormones work, then they wouldn’t have an outlet for their transphobia.

most local news sites came online as garbage and will never rise above that status

The amount of pop-ups, sleazy Taboola ads, and autoplay videos (with 2 ads at the beginning and end of a 30 second clip) is too damn high. Just clicking a link is a fucking assault on your eyes. And yes some form of this still happens to me with adblockers or firefox.

I guess I thought the goal was to get people to use their websites, not fucking punish them for it.

Comments like this are just sad.

We learned nothing from Reconstruction.

Even after reading the post I still wasn’t sure how Adobe was taking on Adobe.

It’s more the hypocrisy of some people. The ones who cheer for a huge defense/foreign aid budget year after year no matter who it’s for, and then leave bitchy comments on FB about student loan forgiveness being “unfair” because it uses their tax dollars.

It’s weird how I’ve seen several of these kinds of comments on lemmy recently. They’re responding to a post that’s pointing out an obvious social/political/economic problem by reducing it to the poster having some kind of personal mental health issue or accusng them of being stupid because they don’t know enough about the issue to have a degree in it.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen them anywhere else. Maybe they just always got buried on reddit, idk. But it’s an interesting redirection that’s a) super unproductive, and b) trying really hard to take focus off a very real social issue. “Your late stage capitalist country quickly descending into fascism? Have you considered Wellbutrin?”

In a hotel? Of course. There’s all those “extended stay” hotels and in some places they have weeklies, which you can rent for a night or a week or a month. But the point is, all the rooms are the same so you know exactly what you’re getting.

And yet when I looked at places in Vegas, they were all shittier and more expensive than actual hotels. I really wanted to save money, so I really tried to give it a chance, but nothing that came up was worth it when I could just get an actual hotel. And the more I thought about it, I’m also just not comfortable using AirBnB as a single woman. Maybe other people have felt totally safe and had nothing happen and that’s great. But I know I would never feel one hundred percent certain there’s no cameras, and that whoever’s renting it wouldn’t just walk right in.

I’ve also seen those AirBnB management companies renting out rooms in the larger LV casinos for the same price, with the same amenities, and with the same resort fees. That one’s a total mystery to me.

And now they’re advertising AirBnB “rooms” or whatever it’s called where you sleep in a bedroom in the same house as the owner? While the owner is just…there?! That would just be so uncomfortable and awkward to begin with, but it also just kind of seems like a matchmaking app for serial killers.

We’ve all seen this episode of Silicon Valley.
