I’m sure it’s true for some women. But I wouldn’t be surprised if most working women were either married or in a committed relationship. Plus, a lot of households have two incomes out of necessity. Both partners need to work full time just to make ends meet.

Why is it any more okay to create conflict with less secure people?
Kaerkob@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Am I too insecure to acknowledge the truth? Or maybe it just doesn’t have any truth to it.

It’s true. Us humans clearly only harm each-other, so let’s keep a distance, ok?

Not sure I fully understand, that’s like saying “It’s true, but funny, because… reasons.”
AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
I agree it’s hard to know what’s part of divide and conquer political psyops and whether that was the intention or not of the person that created it.
I personally scrolled by this and read it as a debate about feminism in its most basic sense (equality for all) vs traditionalism and patriarchy (heirarchy based control). Not as an attack on men or meaning to exclude anyone who doesn’t fall into the heteronormative categories which exist as a consequence of the heirarchies demanded by traditionalism and patriarchy.
Like the propaganda behind conservative traditionalism has always relied on convincing people of the idea that all of modern society’s problems are simply due to moving further away from the traditional values of the past. It’s somewhat circular logic that offers easy and appealing solutions to those being targeted, while relying on supporters to either remain unaware of or intentionally ignore some of the very obvious problems caused by the conservative heirarchies the traditionalist movement hopes to preserve and strengthen.
For example, addressing the declining standard of living with each successive generation, lack of affordable housing, affordable education, and job opportunities in the United States. Traditional conservativism often targets young men by offering them easy solutions to these issues by claiming they were caused by the feminist and civil rights movements moving American society away from the traditional values (heirarchies) that were already in place. DEI practices that arose from those movements mean that the resources previously available for young men to build the American dream, are now unavailable because they’re being handed to women and minorities while young men have been forgotten. Essentially, these movements have upset the natural order of things, and until that order is restored, there will be no way to fix the problems.
It’s true that opportunity, housing, affordability, and standard of living have all noticably declined in the U.S over the last 50 years. The argument that the lack of available resources in the U.S. in 2026 is due to the most salient social movements of the 60’s and 70’s is an easy conclusion to make, but it requires you to ignore what was simultaneously happening in the background of those movements.
While blaming equality movements and toppling of established heirarchies, it ignores the fact that since the 1970’s wealth has become increasingly concentrated in the hands of the 1%. It ignores the fact that the 70’s also marks the establishment of the first conservative think tanks (Heritage Foundation), which were funded by billionaires, and created in direct response to the civil rights movement, in order to establish influence and promote conservative economic and social policies.
Tldr: To restore and preserve the conservative natural order and heirarchy, the policies promoted are always backed by traditional values that require division by default.
The traditionalist movement argues a woman’s place is in the home, supported by a hardworking man. While equality based movements would argue a woman’s place, (like any autonomous human being, regardless of class or identity male, female, cis, trans, NB), is wherever they want it to be, whether that’s at home, working, single, married, straight, queer etc. The entire point is there are no pre established roles set out for her or anybody else. Opportunities and resources are available to everyone, rather than kept locked away under the control of a small but heavily insulated and protected 1%, who then decide how to divide up whatever resources they’re willing to allow the other 99% to share.

People will always need each other. Money doesn’t change that. People need affection and intimacy. This culture war shit keeps us filtering the world though the “safety” of their apps instead of actually connecting with each other, which is why we’re all so fucking miserable imo.

No, no — now repeat after me:

Unless you’re a man at which point:

WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
Humans are bad. There are too many of us, so now we are trying to cannibalize each other. You can see in real-time that we don’t value the average person at all, or even the exceptional person (unless they are famous, and part of a product we like).

As a gay man I can whole heartedly tell you only women think men make money just to get women. Plus if a woman is attracted to a guy just because of wealth then that’s a doomed relationship, now go sip your tea

Yeah, it’s mostly so we can afford cool things. Or even just live comfortably without worrying about money.

One of my friends is going through a divorce and one of the reasons his wife gave us is that he would sit in his car in the driveway and look at his phone for a bit when he got home. There are other reasons but that one stuck out to me.

To be fair, parenting is a pretty shitty gig. Expectations are high and support is low. People judge everything you do, especially those who have never done it themselves. Even with good kids its a thankless slog most of the time. God help you if you get a hard one.

Variation on the joke.
Parents of a high school age boy and girl have a photo on the living room wall.
It’s a picture of a fat, bald old man in a Speedo standing on a yacht with a pretty girl hugging him.

You just have to get older. I have it on good authority that the law of supply and demand turn things around - men can be old enough to have made money while still being able to date women young enough to not have made money (and no, we’re not Epstein related)

I hate to break it to you but cyberpunk is a critique of today’s world. Tomorrow can always get much worse.
JoMiran@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
For those wondering what typically defines the cyberpunk literary genre, its key elements include:
High-tech, low-life scenarios: Advanced technology, such as cybernetics, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality, is prevalent, but it exists alongside widespread societal breakdown and poverty.
Dystopian future:
The settings are typically bleak and oppressive, often dominated by powerful corporations or decentralized, corrupt power structures.
Impact of technology on humanity:
Cyberpunk explores how technology shapes society, culture, and individual identity .
Antiheroes and rebellion:
Characters are often morally ambiguous rebels fighting against oppressive systems.

The reappropriation of the Buc-ees beaver is similar to the reappropriation of Mickey Mouse by punks in the 70’s.
Nothing says 'Muricah more than Buc-ees (and maybe us flag bathing shorts). It is a mecca for meat, oversized sodas and snacks, petrol consumption, and nice toilets to shit all the garbage you’ve consumed.
An .ml account in the Fediverse sporting the ultimate symbol of American consumerism is exactly what I’m going for.
