I’ve been saying this for almost a decade now, but if I wrote a book with someone like this guy as the biblical antichrist people would say it was way too on the nose.

Well it worked the first time around…

This is similar to something I assumed right before I had a long argument with a high school physics teacher. We ended up agreeing that he just didn’t really care.

Seems like a good thing to massively protest.

It’s embarrassingly cheap to buy a member of the US Supreme Court.

Why would I unload my emotional baggage on the people who caused it in the first place? That just sounds like more baggage.

Edit: This was supposed to be a joke. You can stop pointing out my complex trauma, thank you.

These people are so fucking stupid…

This is the sort of smartass thing I would try right before getting bludgeoned to death.

“very often” is hyperbole, but if you’ve never had/heard of that discussion I would be surprised. But I don’t think “men are misunderstanding the question” is a crazy take.

“who would win in a fight” and “who would you feel more threatened by” are by no means two “random” subjects, they are very closely related in theme and in most situations the answers would be interchangeable. And the conflation of the two closely related topics of conversation was my entire point.

…

Sure.

The original meme is about women feeling they are less threatened by a bear than a strange man, the bear might leave them alone or not be aggressive where a man would be more likely to. That men can be a threat in different ways.

Separately men very often discuss what animals they could beat in a fight. This results in a misunderstanding/disconnect between “who would you feel less threatened by” and “who would win in a fight”, which I agree is not what the original meme of women “choosing the bear” is about, but it is a very similar dynamic that results in men explaining that you won’t win a fight against a bear. Which, again, is not the point of the original meme indicating a feeling that a bear might be less likely to harm or threaten you, which is why it results in people talking past each other. (Kind of like right now…)

And I believe you missed the words “appearing to imply” and my point completely.

Yeah, but Cheetahs can be way bigger than you expect, up to 160 pounds. I think if it can build up enough speed and has the chance to pounce you’re gonna have the wind knocked out of you before you can do much.

Which is why framing the concept in a context that is parallel to one already very familiar to men (what animal is a bigger threat) has caused such misunderstanding.

is it rhetorically or optically the perfect feminist meme that is beyond criticism? no.

Honestly, I think the biggest problem with the argument is men have been having very serious discussions for probably millenia about what animals they could and could not beat in a fight. And it is implicitly known that the guy who comes in saying he could beat a bear is way up his own ass. Now here comes a meme appearing to imply that men could beat a bear in a fight, and the urge to correct is strong.

I understand and agree with the sentiment, but I also want you to know you can’t beat a bear in a fight, but will gladly discuss what animals you might win against.

What about a Cheetah?

Hitman Hiring Competition sounds like a great WKYK skit.

How long until the lawsuit where they refuse to pay for proof of Republican voter fraud?

$80/day x 365 = $29,200.

$14/hour x 2080 hours (40 hours x 52 weeks) = $29,120

Hopefully you can get a good paying job right out of prison, since you’re only going into more debt if you don’t…

Enjoy it, I wish I could go back and play MGS1 for the first time again. Such a good game.

Oh, fuck off, the only reason it got that far on Jan 6 is that he was already in charge and refused to call in troops to immediately shut it down. I doubt Biden sits on his hands for several hours while rioters attack the Capitol.
