Congrats, you fell victim to propaganda!

Is there a tldw somewhere before I watch 3.5 hours?

The question is, what really is different between a woman or a short man in basketball? Both can not compete because of their genetics.

Yep but your VPN wouldn’t be in Germany obviously, but in a country with less strict laws on which information have to be kept.

You’re in Germany. If you do something illegal like downloading a movie and the police gets your IP during it, they can request your ISP to reveal your identity and charge you with a crime.

If you use a VPN, your IP is the IP of the VPN company, and they’ll say “we have no idea which of our users did that request, they all use the same IP”.

Where do you think the people with current above average shooting skills started? You think they were just born that way? :D

It’s easier and nicer. But it’s also shitty because of what you mentioned.

The thing is, that’s how it’s going to stay unless people stop using it. You can get this info you mentioned somewhere else, or simply don’t need it, as I said, yes it’s harder and less nice to live without it, but it’s not like you can’t live without live traffic data or whatever. Start using CoMaps, contribute to open street map, leave reviews on other review aggregators, etc etc

There are a lot of good points in there, the historical part especially highlights good parts why feminism is necessary.

However, studies show that women simply don’t want to be CEOs at the same rate as men. Women personally want to be more in domestic/caretaking roles than men. Women want to take more maternal leave than men. Now of course you might try to explain these in terms of existing structures that push women to think like that, but how do you explain that women in “more equal”/more feminist societies actually more heavily lean into these differences?

Have you ever thought about the remaining gender pay gap being because women want to work less, thus having less experience, thus being paid less for less experience? There are studies that, when adjusting for these differences, find that the gender pay gap is actually 1% or less. It then stands to argue that the gender pay gap has not changed since the 90s because since then, for all variables adjusted, women already get paid the same as men. (Logically, if women were paid “too little”, in our hyper-capitalistic world, you would see that companies made of women would severely outperform those made of mixed/male workforce, since companies made out of women workers would have severely lower costs. The fact that this is not the case tends to point towards pay being roughly equal. Anecdotally, I personally know 2 women who were unhappy in a “feminism-pushed” leading role and switched to a more classically women-associated work, and becoming more happy as a result of that.)

I love feminism and it is overall a good thing, but the sole problem I have with it is that it wants to eliminate “too much” inequality. Some inequality is desired because men and women are different in some ways. The hormonal mixture is very different, with hormones strongly affecting our behavior. Thus, it is expected that behavior between men and women is different, thus differences should exist. I don’t think the work is done for feminism, but I also think it’s doing too much/the wrong thing in some places. Obviously, there’s also a massive difference between regions in the world, Finland needing feminism much less than idk, Afghanistan.

I think it’s a fundamental failure of feminism to make men think that they don’t deserve a voice, even in support of women.

Would be my question as well. It seems quite obvious that if you participate in publicly viewable discussion, that the stuff you do is publicly viewable.

If you don’t want it associated to your physical person, use a VPN and unidentifiable account name.

(And the statement “at least reddit is safe” seems absolutely ridiculous to me.)
