on the lighter side, have some vegans who don't understand how the food chain works  Imagine all the tigers, just chilling with the zebras and uh ... singing happy songs? That's what animals must do when people aren't around.

NO gently caress YOU DAD posted:I used to think it was MRAs, but there's a guy at work who just turned 22 and he uses it all the time, so maybe it's now just an internet thing. It still started with MRAs, though, as a way to dehumanize women and make them sound like lesser creatures or beasts of burden or some poo poo. A woman might have frightening things like a job or an opinion. A female sounds more like something that'll sit doe-eyed listening to you rebuilding your Magic deck. My man, the only curves I let myself be beholden to is the mana curve. Am I right?

I hear male and female at my job too (orderly at a mental health facility, where gender has to match the patient's). I'm not sure why.

Otisburg posted:bees are fine anyway That article is hilarious. It describes bees as "the perfect capitalist" which just makes no sense. A society where pretty much all bees of the same age are equal? Where their work, above all, contributes to the collective good of their sisters instead of their own profit? Where the fruits of their labor are shared throughout the winter? That doesn't sound capitalist. It also says that the amount of colonies increased (which is good), but doesn't say the high annual die-off has stopped. If the bee colonies still have a high mortality rate it's too early to declare success.

Obviously, MRAs and anti-feminists aren't a hive mind but this makes me laugh pretty hard thinking about the douche bags who were boycotting Mad Max.

A woman might have frightening things like a job or an opinion. A female sounds more like something that'll sit doe-eyed listening to you rebuilding your Magic deck. I think it's part of the attempt to use  to remove everyone's agency. It's interesting to note that people who do the "females" thing don't just dehumanize women with it. They also use "males" in a similar, but more self-serving way: women can't help but be emotionally unstable and manipulative because it's in their DNA, while men can't help but be aggressively sexual for the same reason. The exact same thing is being done to eliminate the agency of both sexes, but in opposite ways: it blames women while justifying men.

It's never in a weird MRA M'lady sort of way but rather in a more clinical almost military jargon way if that makes sense. I dunno, maybe they got chewed out if they said anything other than male/female.

In the Army at least they use exclusively male/female, presumably because someone somewhere decided that it sounds more professional.

Yikes. Liberals are (rightfully) mocking the right wing for having nearly no depth to their insults, but are constantly sharing this stuff that is literally Bernie = thing I like. Hilary = thing i don't like, and is bad. Like this hilarious meme:    It's not particularly meaningful or clever, it has nothing to do with any of their policies. It's just "I like genre of thing, and Bernie would be so totally cool at it, while Hillary is bad!!!"
