You want better vibrancy? Get zoning reform and put cafés on every street.

Agnostics. Not necessarily atheists. And they sure as hell aren’t sam harris type dickheads about it like this lemmy thread has.

Or just live and let live…

Agreed

Lol

If king was alive today he’d tell people to vote for Kamala.

Lesser of two evils is fascism!?

Sure bud let’s risk women being turned into 50s tradwives by a fascist regime because boohoo moderate church said mean things about gay marriage

Fuck Tim Houston. Little prick.

Ironic because Dummielle Smith supports gay marriage. Isn’t that woke?

Exactly.

Agreed

I’m willing to do what it takes

Yep

We should invest more in our youth.

Warren Farrell and Scott Galloway went into this

Fair enough, but I’d make a few objections,

I don’t think an imbalance necessarily means that we should automatically assume discrimination, for example there is a small correlation between sex and interest (men to objects, women to living things) which may account for some discrepancy in certain fields.

Hiring committees would depend but very often we see HR is majority female, and some studies show that female named job applications in certain cases may be more favoured even when the exact same application is given with a male name.

In terms of school, I can attest that boys need to stop fucking around during class time and actually pay attention, but I’ve seen another study show that for the exact same work, public school teachers sometimes mark higher for a girls work.

The last point I would make is that there are quite a few female only grants and bursaries and aid programs, but there’s very few that outright exist for males.

That’s my two cents, but I understand your perspective as well.

I think Warren Farrell especially, and a bit of Leonard Sax as well have gone into this in more detail.

Unfortunately the mainstream feminist objection is that “men should just make their own support organizations” but the problem is sometimes the government won’t give them a nickel, which I find absurd.

This guy in Calgary Canada made a men’s domestic violence shelter, (shockingly women are first statistically to initiate domestic violence, which I didn’t know). This was around 2011 or so? But the local feminists at the time online were saying that he should not feel entitled to government funding and only women’s shelters should get government funding. I think he killed himself afterwards.

So it seems like when men do band together to make a support group, it doesn’t get the same amount of government support as a women’s group will.

That’s good but there needs to be more, way more. We need to start mass rezoning.
