I mean even amongst millennials (where 3rd wave feminism is most prominent), you can't deny that women still seem to want the same thing every prior generation of women want. Men to be 1 to like 6 years older, make a similar amount if not more, similar education level or higher, and tall. Thats been the path to a positive life for a man since....a long ass time.


I think everyone probably wants similar education level. Do men want less educated women?

The rest of your claims, for however much they still apply, are waning, and patriarchal society established the trends in the first place.

Why historically have women wanted well to do men? Possibly because women weren't generally allowed to have successful careers until just a few generations ago maybe?

The only way we can get rid of a patriarchy is if women approach men 50% of the time, date men younger than them 50% of the time, less educated, lesser earning, pay for them, etc.


Welcome to third wave feminism

I hate to say it like this, but there is added incentive for men to be more powerful than women in our society. This drives a lot of men's actions. A lot of society is fueled by sex


But why put the honus more on women to change that? Society as a whole can change that.

At this point that involves women changing way more than men. Telling a woman to change is like misogyny 101 in the eyes of feminists.



Asking men to place less importance on their career status means asking women to change? What?

But people just need to realize that a career is more important to a man's mental health than it is to a woman's, as we get fewer options.


You could be a stay at home dad?

The idea that your career status defines your self-worth is kinda sick IMO


We had this discussion with one of our clients recently, a guy who was thinking about being a stay at home dad. People said that it's harder for a man to re-enter the professional workforce than a woman. They said it's harder for men to justify a large gap in their employment history.

I don't like the idea of judging your self-worth by your career either. But a lot of people do it.


Right, I'm not denying that it's reality for many men.

But we can work to change that.

I actually agree with Foolmo that, as a whole, things were much better in the 80s. His argument, however, was specifically about women, whose rights and power have only expanded since then. (In the West.)


So either that's a bad thing, or men's rights have regressed significantly more than women's have expanded

Speaking of which

Trump is a fucking third generation American from Germany

Well when we run Nazi flags out of town we are attacking his heritage I guess

Hey now.


Sorry, if Trump is 3rd gen then his last ancestor born there would be like 1820 or so? My bad.


3 generations would be 200 years ago?


If Trump was born in 1957, then there would be two whole generations before him born here, let's say they both had kids at 25, that gets us to 1907, so you're right, the last German born would be about 1880ish

Now if they all had kids in their 50s like Donald maybe I'm closer to correct.

Okay, as someone who doesn't know the intricacies of crafting the budget, how much leverage does the President actually have with regard to "shutting the government down?"

I had thought that was a legislative thing


It takes 2/3 of both houses to override his veto. Essentially, if Republicans and Democrats cooperate, it's easy. Otherwise, it's impossible.


Dems better do it if it comes to that. There are times for making a statement and letting GOP own their mistakes but that isn't one of those times.

Nothing besides calling up your Congresspeople

I think it could be argued to be an impeachable offense since pardons were clearly not designed for that purpose and it fundamentally undermines the rule of law (not that there's any way there would be the political will to impeach him over that, and I don't think Republican voters would buy that reasoning either)


But even if, hypothetically, he got impeached and removed, the pardon still stands, right?

Mitch and Trump are on a break!

Sources with knowledge of the August 9 call said the exchange quickly devolved into a shouting match as an irate Trump expressed his frustrations about the congressional investigation into Russian interference with the US election last year and fumed about a Russia sanctions bill Congress passed that would tie Trump's hands on the matter.


I demand loyalty, Mitch! You made me anger Putin!
