The term “attention theft” is some dystopian shit, and just probable enough to make me vomit in my mouth.
Pass that along to their branding coordinators. No one here can do shit about what products are named.
I have dude wipes and a bidet. Fite me.
One of us is missing something. Are you seeing a correlation between spaceman and cowboy? Because I’m seeing two Woody’s up there.
I want you to know that you are deeply hated.
Thanks for the share! This is an interesting experience to hear about.
Doesn’t the story portray Paul Atreidies’ messianic rise as a bad, albeit opportunistic move? I only watched the new films, but it did not feel like we were supposed to think it was a good thing.
“Smart” was never on the list of criteria. “Attractive” and/or “Entertaining” are much more common.
Yeah, the adult version of that child can absolutely get it.
Do you seriously lack this much reading comprehension, or are you just pretending to be daft?
You missed the mark, friend.
I keep seeing this like it’s some sort of gotcha. It isn’t.
Disregarding the fact that the power dynamics are reversed…actually, no, never mind. Black violence is systemically perpetuated by a malicious and powerful group of people who thought it was okay to own people like property and still struggle to see black people as human. We are put in prisons, shot, and killed over these systemically enforced biases that we continually struggle to escape from. This issue is political because my very existence in this country is political, and it has to be tackled from many different directions to overcome due to its influence going back generations and being rooted in actual evil.
Women are scared of men because men have been scaring them all throughout history. Matriarchies are significantly more rare than patriarchies, because men have historically been dicks and lust for power. They also have historically been slaves to lust, and regularly take advantage of women to sate their lust. In both examples, men and women are animals subservient to a dominant power.
That said, what do you think my response is to a misinformed white human who thinks I’m a dangerous criminal based only on the color of my skin?
I prove them wrong.
Feeling insulted is a red flag dude. That’s an aggressive response to something that doesn’t actually affect you negatively if you aren’t a threat. If you are good, your actions will demonstrate this, and women won’t feel so threatened.
Are you insulted when a kitten is wary of you? And hides under the couch because you might hurt her? Do you blame the kitten for running from your imposing stature and booming voice? If a kitten was abused before making it to you, do you hold it against the kitten? Or do you nurture her and show her that you are a friend and that you have no intention of ever hurting her? People need to feel safe the same way a kitten does. This is not a bad thing.
I spent my formative years browsing 4chan and seeing the worst shit festering in the minds of a rejected people. I am also black (If you don’t know why that’s relevant, I envy you). Do not talk to me about what turns a person toxic.
It is not up to women to be nice to us because we’re sensitive and have chips on our shoulders. It’s up to other men to help us navigate these emotions without blaming anyone else for feeling the way we do. Be better than the bear, dude. That’s all you have to do. Don’t threaten women, and don’t get upset with women for feeling threatened. That’s it. That’s all. Nothing else is needed. If you are doing those things, this message is not for you. If you react with hostility, you prove that you are a problem, and you ought to reflect on why you became this way, again, without blaming what women say online on your toxic attitudes. Do not sympathize with men who think women are lesser creatures incapable of having their own experiences. If a woman says something you don’t agree with that is perfectly fine. If they tell you they’re scared, you don’t have the right to tell them they’re stupid or in the wrong for being scared though. All I’m seeing is disrespect, mansplaining, and whataboutism from men, and it is shameful.
The women said they’re scared of men. You took it as an insult and became hostile. You are the bear.
You’re being a pedant and intentionally ignoring the message. And men are calling women stupid while pretending to be stupid (or God forbid, actually being stupid). Learn what a metaphor and hyperbole is, and their literary functions. Then realize this isn’t about literally spending time in the woods with a bear.
Quite the theory you’ve got there.
