Genuinely making myself nauseous from laughing because of this fucking video. OP let twitch chat write in commands in the game in real time (source)
obviously bigotry isnt rational but "women are naturally worse at spatial reasoning and math" is a wild opinion to have when women have historically been the primary textile producers in a lot of societies. have you ever seen a tablet weaving pattern
women also used to do the family taxes
and women are currently more academicaly successful then men (at least in my country)
and now that women are more academically successful, society has entered into a new era of anti-intellectualism. it's not coincidental
it cannot be stressed enough nor pointed out too often that the way this works and always has worked is that whatever women are doing is bad. when what women are doing changes, then what is bad changes so that what women are doing is always what's bad. what jobs are for women and therefore are bad have changed in the past and will change in the future. the only constant is that women are bad and what women do is bad and they will make up brand new explanations for it every time but it is always simply that women are bad.
when people think that having sex is a distraction from godliness, then women love sex because they're bad. when people think that sex is a natural and healthy part of human life, then women hate sex because they're bad. when women are known for doing math, then math is bad and the true intellectual pursuit is reading. when women are known for reading, then reading is bad and the true test of intellectual rigor is doing math. when being a chef is a good thing it's a job for men. when cooking is women's work it's bad.
nothing iv'e said is hypothetical or A Theory, im literally describing actual historical perceptions and actual changes therein

still relistening to The Adventure Zone and something i can't stop thinking about is like. okay so the McElroys basically had a cult-like stranglehold on a pretty specific type of nerdy millennial in the mid-2010s (I was one of them) and listeners could support the show by paying for "jumbotron" messages that would get read out loud on the podcast during ad breaks. and a lot of these messages are from quirk chungus to jakey or whatever, couples, basically going "hi honey! i love you so much that i had our good good mcelboys say it! love you, goof! can't wait to listen to this episode together!", right. but these jumbotron submissions had a pretty considerable time-to-air due to production timelines and the size of a backlog. and so after the fifth or sixth one of these all i can think about is, like, surely and statistically at least one of these couples went through an absolutely grueling and nightmarish break-up in the time between submitting a paid ad read about how lovey-dovey they are and griffin actually reading it out loud. and like could you imagine going through that and then hearing one of these men read your old self's words back to you to an audience of thousands and then chuckle to himself and say "aw, so happy for you" while grief surges through your entire central nervous system. and then they go right back to bits and goofs. meanwhile, you are alone. the sun is setting. it's dark and it's getting cold. and you can use the promo code ZONECAST to save 15% on your first order of underwear from MeUndies
read a post talking about how it's "presumptuous" and "rude" to tell someone that you think they are a trans woman and I want to gouge out my eyes. you're so terrified of conflict that you're worried about being rude in a scenario where the stakes are "the rest of the other person's life and their happiness forever". the bad ending in this conversation is that a cis man is briefly uncomfortable.
you are not being "polite" you are prioritizing your comfort. this shit drives me insane. I hope your house burns down.
