  • I mean… No? I dont see where it would imply that its men fault. The word mean that men rule.

    But they don’t. Which is my point–people like you assert this is the case, so that when stuff is shitty, you can say things like ‘well, the men are in charge, so if it’s bad, it’s men’s fault’, and in turn imply that women have zero agency in society and exist as nothing more than victims. You seem not to realize how deeply misogynistic it is to infantilize women this way, not to mention misandrist as well.

    99.9% of men have no ‘ruling’ power whatsoever–they’re in the weeds right alongside the 99.9% of women who also don’t. To categorize either sex as ‘the ruler’ in American or any Western society is absolutely ridiculous.

    But you can t deny that men did vote in favour of the rapist in the last US election

    The majority of US voters are women. If all of the women voted for the same candidate, that candidate would be guaranteed to win, every time.

    But all of the women didn’t do that, did they? Well, guess what? Neither did all of the men.

    Well over thirty million women voted for Trump. Stop stereotyping the sexes and acting like they’re hiveminds, it’s plainly sexist bullshit.

    Face it: the blame for any societal ill does not belong to one sex.




  • A large amount of racists and bigots are into norse stuff? Maybe. Almost all people in the norse stuff are racists and bigots? High doubt

    In my experience, people are, on average, extremely susceptible to this very basic logical fallacy, and truly believe the two sentiments above are equivalent. In other words, believing that “most X are Y” implies “most Y are X”.

    It’s fucking everywhere, pervasive all over the political spectrum too, it’s universal. Radical feminists use the fact that most physical assailants are male to malign half of the human population. Racists use statistics about what percentage of violent crime is committed by a race, to draw conclusions about what percentage of that race commits violent crime. Hell, Reefer Madness, a propaganda piece with a well-deserved reputation of being completely full of shit, rests its premise on the exact same fallacy: “practically everyone dying from hard drug use is/was also a weed smoker, so we’ve concluded weed use leads to hard drug use”.

    I see it over, and over, and over again, online and in real life. It makes you want to grab someone by the shoulders and shake them while yelling “all oranges are fruits, does that mean all fruits are oranges?!”, lol.

    That’s enough venting for tonight, though, haha.
