    Isnt this just virtue signalling? I mean, there are a lot of things that are really really bad and some things are so subjective.

    I hope rape is objectively bad, but this is just like saying “what if we could bring up kids in a way that they think war is bad”.

    Wow wador! What a quote!

      “Virtue signalling”? Kinda telling using such language. I understand misogyny is a tough concept to grasp for many men, who often deny it exists and how pervasive it is - so I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt here.

      But no, this is saying that how we socialise topics is important. And that society at large enables men to get away with such behaviour and by extent promotes it as acceptable.

        I don’t know how else to explain my point. It’s like having a bumper sticker with the text “fuck cancer”.

      What do you mean you “hope” rape is objectively bad? Can you expand on that? I find that phrasing to be… Weird

        I mean that I hope everyone understand that it’s bad. Like an absolute bad thing.

      I mean you can see all the hate people have for being brought up hating queer people. What if we swapped and rapists were hated by the church instead.

    I never understood why human and social interactions isn’t an obligatory course on schools all over the world. Not just how yo treat women, but how to treat anyone, doesn’t matter their gender, skin color, etc…

      That would be part of learning Critical Thinking Skills, which conservatives oppose, because they feel it teaches children to resist authority, which it does.

        Turns out compromising with the ‘make things worse’ ideology makes them worse.

      But that might make you less of an exploiter. Maybe even a communist. You don’t want that, do you?

    I never thought about it that way. There’s nothing physically stopping cannibalism, so it’s horrifying to us due to almost ubiquitous social pressure.

    So clearly we have the capability to make these changes and society just doesn’t see it as important. Maybe that should give me hope but honestly this just makes me more disgusted.

    I think that cannibalism is acceptable in extreme circumstances.

    That other shit though can fuck all the way off.
