Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Buy her two, rock his world akimbo mode.

Reminds me of the time my girlfriend's father gave me a springblade "to match hers."

Women have for millennia been taught that their role is to be subservient to men so this will get a downvote from me.

[–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

But isn't this the point? Given the long history, maybe we should teach people how to treat men. It doesn't mean teaching them to treat men as rulers, and it shouldn't mean treating them as enemies either. Maybe both boys and girls need to be taught how to treat everyone as equals, and not to expect certain things from people based on gender.

[–] SpaceShort@feddit.uk 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Sure. The original comment implied that no women are ever thought anything about how to treat men which is not the case even today. Even today, in religious communities, women are brought up with the idea that their role is be the wife of a man, bear his children and look after his household. I don't know what exactly the original OP meant but, at the very least, he seems unaware of this.

[–] pmk@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 6 days ago

Admittedly I don't know much about religious communities, and I live in one of the most gender equal places I guess, so that was my intuitive context. But, I still think we should teach kids to avoid gender expectations, in any direction. There are ways that men are shitty to women, ways men are shitty to other men, ways women are shitty to other women, and ways women are shitty to men.

I don't see how that follows, like the joke is the dad buying his daughter a taser because the other guy is being a creep, but that's your prerogative.

[–] SpaceShort@feddit.uk 6 points 6 days ago

Oops. Didn't properly see the bottom comment. I just saw the top one and reacted to it. I didn't realize it was the bottom comment we were supposed to agree with. (I read it but just woke up and didn't process it.) Changing my downvote to an upvote.

[–] DistrictSIX@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Is this a mra community? I'm new and don't know a whole lot about the different servers and all, so it's a genuine question. Not trying to be snotty.

[–] flamingos@feddit.uk 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

No, this is a meme community and feddit.uk is a UK focused instance. I don't know why a bunch of MRAs are going off in the comments about domestic abuse, it doesn't even seem that related to the image posted.

Lol yeah looks like you brought out some chuds that are itching to get tazed.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Based on the way a lot of people are behaving Im not sure anyone is being taught manners.

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 82 points 1 week ago (5 children)

I just do this real crazy thing where I treat everyone with respect, without consideration for their sex.

That's a taserin'

[–] antbricks@lemmy.today 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I bet you don't see color, either...

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I bet you project all the time. Fun game.

[–] antbricks@lemmy.today 0 points 4 days ago (1 children)

lol did you just "I know you are but what am I"? Why not address the accusation? How is "I don't see color" different than "I don't see gender"?

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Stop looking for reasons to hate loser

[–] dejected_warp_core@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

But... but... mah patriarchy!

Gtfo you weirdo! Making war over perceived differences is the most natural human thing we've got!

[–] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

How weird, Sounds like a systemglitch or something.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 week ago

My dad taught me how to treat a woman by being distant and disconnected with my mom.

So I do the opposite.

[–] Damage@feddit.it 12 points 1 week ago (1 children)

His mother taught him to go down on women?

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Everything is sex obviously
