They are losing their fucking minds.
Yeah! Based on this one guy and one issue, it’s all Americans, and only Americans.
Yup, a lot of anti-americans who specifically hate cars and think bikes will solve everything (even for the eldery and disabled).
I wasn’t even saying ageism is not a problem, just making a joke about how a screenshot of some random asshole isn’t representative.
That said, I don’t think it’s ageism to be concerned about whether two guys who are 81 and 77 should be put in the most powerful and stressful job in the world.
plus, you gotta love that this subset of americans thinks the entirety of a woman’s worth boils down to whether she can pop out lots of kids. 🙄
It’s absolutely gay. How is that bad?
Young women are better off with people their age because there are assholes like this who would exploit them, and maybe leave them as the woman ages.
For additional funsies, note that sperm quality declines with age. People in glass houses etc. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9848653/
In general, women are free to do as they wish because they’re self-determining beings and their value is not derived from being able to give birth. Same for men, tbh.
Also lol forget about the fact that many young people who have children are not guaranteed biologically fit children because it’s all about chance more or less.
This topic is a shitshow and the world is a poorer place for us having to discuss it!
Half your age + 7. This was decided awhile ago. I don’t make the rules. Thank you, drive through.
Assuming hetero coupling: I don’t know why a 27yo woman would want to be with a 40yo man if we’re strictly talking about biological fitness of offspring. Makes more sense for a 17yo and 20yo, but there are serious diminishing returns for a young woman the older the man gets based on the decline in sperm quality. The chances are that she ensures better offspring by being with someone in her age range +/- 3 years.
FYI, this is what men like this person sound like when they evaluate women. I am just doing the same thing back to such a man. If he thinks he’s a prime target for young women, he’s not.
Personally, I think evaluating people simply based on their ability to produce offspring is gross because you’re removing any consideration for them as a person. I feel icky having this conversation. There’s something wrong with conservative culture that makes them evaluate people like cattle.
When I was 28-30 I did a lot of dating. I went on a few dates with people 22 and under early on. I quickly set my personal age limit to 25, as everybody I went out with younger than that displayed waaaay too many undesirable traits in maturity and lack of life experiences.
This “wisdom”, while amusing, just doesn’t work. And still puts young people in danger of being groomed by assholes.
However, the western world is also a richer, much more equal place than in the past, as a higher percentage of women can live as they want while most people will live and let live, than say a century ago, when the misogyny was internalized and all-pervasive, even institutionalized, along with other mental viruses like racism and homophobia.
What was universally taken for granted then is the opposite of what is taken for granted now.
Nowadays these imbeciles are publicly called out for what they are: imbeciles. And a majority of people are comfortable to freely, publicly agree.
What boggles my mind is how many people who agree, still manage to mentally dismiss these archaic and deformed attitudes of power and privilege that come from one side and one side only of the political spectrum, and insist that bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRitE, turning their backs on Election Day to the party that has struggled to ensure equality and keeps on struggling, against the constant resistance from all those mouth-breathers from the mentally inferior republican side.
I can’t be the only one who thinks conservatives’ constant whining about women being “too old to marry” is (for lack of a better term) really pedo coded, right? It’s starting to sound like pattern…
Coded? Can this get more blatend what the actual fuck. This is worse then grab em by the pussy
“ The Wyoming Republican Party circulated an email that included an argument from lobbyists that since minors could get pregnant “marriage MUST remain open to them for the sake of those children.”
Who the fuck ars these lobbiest? Epstein?
You should see some of my professional work emails where after proof reading multiples i still end up sending sentences with 20% of the words missing.
You can catch me doing that on lemmy too. And i swear that when i re-read myself i see full sentences with nothing missing.
The thing is, have a cognitive communicate deficit, simply thinking about language feels alien and i have to put alot of effort in translating my actual thoughts into characters yall can understand. My inner monologue is a mix mathematics and images, no words.
I had 2 choice
-
Avoid communicating out of anxiety and stess that people will think less of me because my words (i used to be there)
-
stop caring and assume that most are smart enough to figure it out and respectful enough not to make it into an issue. (Where i am now)
Those that aren’t smart enough are unlikely to understand some of the importance nuances i do put in language. (Because half the things i need a word for don’t have a known word so its all approximate translations) and those that cant stay respectfull are a bigger problem for society than o’l me.
I’m going to guess Owen lives with his mother and has a collection of anime dolls.
