World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I think it's more that anti-feminism is hitting hard, so the women don't want to have kids with the terrible men
They are against things like mandatory military service for men only, women-only universities, women's quotas, and other things that create a noticeable disadvantage in their daily lives, in one of the most ultra-capitalist societies in the world.
You know, against things that are effective gender discrimination and that feminism advocates. But yeah, their reaction and rise can only be explained by them being terrible men, no doubt.
There are extremists to every issue. Some want women to have to do military service, and some think that a woman's place is at home raising the children for her husband.
Some of them are going to be terrible, and those are going to be the ones that women don't want to partner with, let alone raise children with.
Of course, my comment was in the context of the one that has since been deleted where it blamed feminism for making women not want to have kids, lol
I think the biggest factor is actually the work culture, not gender issues.
Tell us you've never been in a relationship with a woman without actually telling us you've never been in a relationship with a woman...
Your poor wife...
I suppose you're also a billionaire too?
I’ll have to let my wife know; she’s consistently made more than me through our relationship. I had her beat for 18 months at one point, I guess she sees my future earning potential 😂
Not everyone looks at relationships as wholly transactional. You get what you look for.
Fucking hell, mate.
I've been a house husband twice in our marriage. First when my daughter was born about 14 years ago until she was 3, and again now that she's in online school and they require a parent to stay home and supervise. And before and after both instances, my wife made more than me.
She's also much more highly educated than me. She has two masters degrees, I'm a college dropout. I'm pretty sure the only 'transactional' thing in our relationship involves things like 'if you do the dishes, I'll take out the trash.'
I would suggest you make no more comments about women in this thread if you wish to remain in this community.
I am a mod, hence the M, and if you violate the community's rules again, I will indeed ban you. If you don't care, that's up to you. If you wish for the rest of your comments to not be deleted, you'll follow the rules as listed in the sidebar.
I'm not sure why you don't know how to see a community's sidebar, but here is the rule in question:
Since I assume you will not bother to check the terms of service, I will show those to you as well.
What you said falls under 'discrimination.'
So unless you don't care whether or not you're on Lemmy at all, I would not talk about women that way again.
I recognize few usernames here. One is that guy's, and it was the second time I ever considered blocking someone for being aggravating either here or on Reddit, lmao
I also recognize yours, and you've usually got great comments/posts. Seems like you're working hard to make Lemmy lively. Thanks!
Thanks, I appreciate it! And yeah, I have a hard time recognizing usernames too.
