Wait till you hear how different people have to act for a revolution to happen!

Well this is a bit of a paradox, as we all know clowns are hung

Love the arc of Wikipedia btw.

Wikipedia in 2001: "Don't use that site for school, it's not a good primary source."

Wikipedia in 2025: "Please, we're begging you, just $3 can keep the last bastion of truth on the Internet from falling to misinformation."

"When do I start feeling like an adult?"

That's the neat part! You don't!

Isn't it the same problem tho, since they can make the sheets smaller and say there's more without actually offering a longer roll?

I guess I was a little to aggressive in my original comment. I meant to explain why minority only groups get less flack than majority only groups, not to suggest that men only groups shouldn't exist.

Women only groups exist alongside the people who disapprove of them. I don't see why men only groups can't. As many have pointed out, however, men only groups DO exist. Someone linked to dull_mens_club as a Lemmy specific example, but more broadly, fraternities exist. Battered mens groups exist. I think some groups like nights of Columbus and the masons are or were men only. Men only schools and colleges exist, as do women only. Most veterans organizations are primarily men just by nature of who makes up the majority of most militaries.

You're putting words in my mouth and confusing the difference between a demographic and an individual. AS A DEMOGRAPHIC, women are oppressed. AS A DEMOGRAPHIC, men are not. We're talking about statistics here, not individual experience.

The fact that some men are oppressed does not imply men are equally or more oppressed than women.

The fact that women AS A DEMOGRAPHIC are oppressed and men AS A DEMOGRAPHIC are not does not imply all men are oppressors. It DOES imply that men opress women, but like... fucking duh? If men aren't pressing women, then who is? It doesn't mean all men are oppressors, but are you seriously going to sit her and act like the majority of domestic abusers, sexual harassers, and discriminators AREN'T men????

You're interpreting a defense of women exclusive spaces as an attack on individual men. You should unpack that.

I didn't place them in the oppressor group, I said they weren't oppressed.

The mens club you're talking about DOES exist though. Since men are not a marginalized minority, that club is just called society.

Your logic mirrors asking, ‘Why not create a whites-only club?’ Technically, you could, but people would rightly view it negatively because white people, as a group, are not marginalized. Exclusive spaces for minorities exist to provide relief from the discrimination or bias they routinely encounter. For groups that do not face those barriers, everyday society already functions as their ‘exclusive space,’ which makes it difficult for non-minorities to understand why others might need a separate environment.

You know someone called him that like 5 hours before he used it.

My guess is he was talking to bubba and spoke out of turn.

Custer's Last Stand happened while the Brooklyn Bridge was being built.

Construction for the bridge occured between 1869-1883.

Custers last stand happened 1876.

Some other stuff: Mamoths were still alive when the Pyramids were being built.

The sharks thing actually leads to another fun fact:

Sharks are older than some of the north star, as the noth star is actually a binary star system next to a solo star. I forget what part it's actually older than, so here's the source.
