(Lewis’s Law states that the comments on any article about feminism will justify the need for feminism.)
So today someone posts a thing about how it’s hard to talk to men about issues that affect primarily women.
And this dude responds saying he doesn’t think this is a real problem that women experience:
Apparently without irony. So of course he gets the response:
Not getting it:
STILL NOT GETTING IT:
Does he get it yet? Nope:
He goes through this ENTIRE EXCHANGE without realizing that he is demonstrating the exact issue being discussed. I’m still not sure he understands what’s going on, despite multiple people trying to explain it to him. It’s just… this is a work of art. It’s mansplaining all the way down.

re millennial killing stuff post: so at my second job I edited a dissertation on how young consumers are changing luxury brands, like they won't just buy the same identical handbag bc "oh it's $designer!" like they'd rather spend that money on an experience etc, so brands have had to COMPLETELY change how they approach the new generation - I mentioned this to an older friend cause I thought it was neat & she went "yeah it's weird how young people expect companies to bend over backwards for them"
My (much older) co worker was talking recently about how she wants the new $300 whatever designer bag, and I was talking about how me and the husband might set $300 aside to go up to House on the Rock for a weekend.
That seems to be pretty standard for the older people I know vs. the younger people I know. For $300, we could get a hotel room overnight, a couple good meals, into House on the Rock, and some money to spend on whatever while we’re there.
And she was just like “But it’s a kate spade bag.”
And I was like “And???? My purse has a unicorn on it I paid $5 for it at Goodwill and I can hold things in it to take up to House on the Rock.”
And you goddamn right that if a company wants my money, they’d goddamned better bend over backwards for me.
I’m doing them a favor by choosing their product. I don’t owe them shit. If they want my continued business, they’d better goddamn well earn it.
And if I’m not happy, not only will I tell them so but I’ll tell literally everyone I know, and then go on to never patronize them again.
Isn’t this also like…. more true to an original understanding of capitalism as well?
Yes, it absolutely is.
^^^ This is the difference between theoretical capitalism and the reality of what we’re living through, which is called “late stage capitalism”.
These businesses and older people are just pissed because we won’t spend money on that kind of stuff even though they bombarded us with it when we were little. They thought we were probably going to be the biggest consumers and spenders because they were bombarding us since we were little but it just ended up being white noise to people who can;t afford it and instead of recognizing this and changing tactics they’re throwing little baby tantrums and calling us selfish and spoiled.
The most emotional moment in Ready Player One is when Gandalf the gray, and Gandalf the white, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail’s black knight, and Benito Mussolini, and the Blue Meanie and Cowboy Curtis, and Jambi the genie, Robocop, The Terminator, Captain Kirk, and Darth Vader, Lo-pan, Superman, every single Power Ranger, Bill S. Preston, and Theodore Logan, Spock, The Rock, Doc Oct, and Hulk Hogan all came out of nowhere lightning fast and kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass.
I hope they keep that in the movie.
I’ve had tavros holding a whole ass burger in his hands looking high as fuck saying “borger” stuck in my head for like, 2 days now. it’s seared into my eyelids. i don’t even know why i thought of it but every time i see tavros all i hear is borger. it’s not even that funny but I’m cursed
Seriously though who objectively believes Skyrim is one of THE BEST games ever. Honestly.
not true! this article was written by my good friend, gaming journalist Snodd Flowerd!
Oh! I am so sorry! So sorry to have doubted your credentials Mr.. Flowerd sir!
That’s Todd Howard in disguise! Flowerd is a fraud!
officer Bodd Boward here, I can confirm that we’ve verified Mr. Flowerd’s credentials and he is legitimate. there’s no legal way he could be Bethesda game developer and creative mastermind Todd Howard! thank you
