What's Baker's Square called in other places? I know it was called something else when I was in Arizona, but I can't remember what. That place is the best for breakfast because breakfast should always be a slice of French Silk pie and like 4 cups of coffee.

I liked Soundgarden. They had a cool sound.

But, like, I was in HS when Nirvana was super popular, and I never got it. Like, maybe instead of having teen angst, you should behave yourself and do what you are told and you won't be a fuckup.

One of my close friends dated Eddie Vedder's ex-wife Beth for a few years. He was really hesitant to bring her around us because, at the time, we were really really big pieces of poo poo and he had managed to hide a lot of what we were doing from her. Well, he eventually told us that he was going to bring her over for a small get together to watch a football or hockey game or something, and told us to absolutely not mention their age difference because she was kind of sensitive about dating a younger guy.

So they come walking in and he introduces us to her and the first words out of my mouth were "Oh! You must be Marty's mom!" He immediately punched me in the face. We all had a good laugh, and she got along with absolutely everyone. They broke up maybe a year later.

That's my "grunge" band story.

Feminism was co-opted by corporate and government interests as a means of forcing women into the workforce as the economy shifted to a 2-breadwinners-per-family model. This greatly expanded the pool of available workers paying taxes, and increased competition for available jobs resulting in stagnant wages.

No truly revolutionary, movement of oppressor vs. oppressed would be taught in universities, promoted in corporate media, or receive federal funding.

You really they have put that much thought into it, or exercise that level of control or in particular that level of coordination?

Feminism (with massive wage gaps) is publically popular and it is personally feel-good for most of the people making the decisions. That's it.

There is no organised conspiracy, just the path of least resistance.

I don't think it was an astroturf campaign engineered from the very beginning or anything like that. I think the powerful saw a sub-culture and decided to corporatize it for profit. Same thing that happened in the rap and geek sub-cultures.

The wage gap is a statistical fallacy. It's been illegal on the Federal level to discriminate in pay on the basis of gender since 1963. The gap in earnings is due to how, broadly-speaking, men work more hours; take less time off; and seek higher paying fields.

Makes me think of an unpopular opinion of my own.

Feminism is flawed. It needs work. It focuses too heavily on the female side of gender issues. I'm not saying that it's wrong just that it can use improvements.

The thing that bothers me the most about that is that you can't criticize feminism at all without being branded an MRA. That's problematic as everything should be questioned all the time. That's how discussion happens and things are improved. More importantly MRAs are disgustingly wrong. Rolling back all of the progress feminism has made is exactly the wrong answer.

Though I think that's kind of indicative of American politics right now; entirely too many people have this attitude of "my opinion is 100% right and if you disagree with any of it you disagree with all of it. That makes you an enemy that must be destroyed." That makes it completely impossible to have any sort of debate and debate is literally part of why democracy works.

Of course another unpopular opinion is that MRAs do have some legitimate grievances and are right about a few things. Doesn't make them any less terrible and they're still jerks but they aren't 100% wrong. Of course given a choice between a hardcore feminist and a hardcore MRA I'll side with the feminist. The feminist is probably not a fascist. The MRA probably is.

I mean really, the entire point of progress is to look at the way things are and say "hmm OK, we're wrong here, here, and here. Let's fix that." Nothing will ever be perfect so you make improvements where you can. It just isn't possible for a set of opinions or policies to be completely flawless so you kind of need to analyze and debate them.

Do you think that there is no wage gap between men and women doing the same job at the same skill and same hours? Or do you think the gap isn't as large as people say? I don't think companies have some grand conspiracy to pay women less, but I do think there are some institutional rot out there that keeps women down, at least a little bit.

That’s not what the 78% figure is. Besides, proving sex discrimination in pay is not that easy given the litany of differences between any two people and the way companies forbid employees to discuss pay (even though that’s questionably legal) and the majority of US workers today are bound by arbitration agreements anyway.

This is a straw man argument. No one is saying that a man and a woman working in the same job for an hourly wage will be paid differently. That's not the issue. The issue is (among other things) the exact things you pointed out yourself. Why is it that men work more hours, take less time off and work in higher paying fields? Unless you think it's just a massive coincidence, there's got to be a reason for it.

People criticise aspects of feminism without being called MRAs all the time. It's a pretty major part of feminist discourse.

ToxicSlurpee posted:

A lot of times they say things that sound like genuine grievances but turn out to just be camouflage for misogyny. Like, they start out talking about male victims of domestic abuse but right where you'd expect someone who actually cared about that issue to start talking about what they want to do about it they veer off into attacks on feminists or women. That's what makes them MRAs. Their claims of being all about focusing on problems afflicting men don't stand up to any kind of scrutiny because what they're actually focused on, to the exclusion of all else, is women.

I read that MRAs started as a legit method of addressing some issues way back in the day, but then in the 80s those who had their heads on straight were all "oh wait, everything we need to address also falls under feminism" so they reintegrated.

Those who didn't remain so because of their misogyny, not because of their commitment to men's issues.

Any form of raisin cookie, while I don't HATE them, are bad because they always trick me into thinking they will be the superior version from a distance (oatmeal+chocolate chip) and it's always a letdown when you first bite in to one.

It's really easy when you don't remember who anyone is. Like, there's maybe half a dozen people on these forums who've made enough of an impression on me to actually see their name and bring to mind any single fact about them.

The world's full of terrible people and you can't avoid interacting with all of them, all you can do is try to influence the overall culture in such a way as to marginalise their terrible beliefs. So holding grudges against individuals with whom you have minimal contact is kind of pointless anyway.
