@BrickHead You see what @pfury does here? It’s such a common thing on the internet that even scientists get sick of it.
What do they do - they’ll immediately throw out the internet argument cliche of “yo correlation doesn’t mean causation man” as if the authors don’t know this already lol
It’s such an overused argument tactic that even actual scientists get annoyed with it. This is even prevalent in the fitness community. Recently on a podcast with Bret Contreras he said as much, that he was tired of people saying this as if he didn’t know, yet the problem is understandable if you’re not a moron. Until something is scientifically researched in depth, unfortunately that’s as good as it gets because it’s all they have. Sometimes, empirical evidence is all you have until someone spends time and resources studying assumption, and then other people come and do the same, and it gets peer reviews, etc etc etc etc.
The author of the Misandry Bubble even says this, that this is the first real attempt to put all of this together, and there’s no way of verifying any of it until most of it proven correct in the coming years… which I’d say yeah a lot of it seems to be going right a long.
Funny thing is, brick has shared a couple links from our prior talks about this topic (obviously sans GB) that were considerably better than the one he posted here.
GB loves him some confirmation bias, then just starts slinging shit at people who disagree with very large assumptions.
Bro, we all know this. But this an opinion piece, clearly there’s going to be conclusions drawn. He didn’t submit this for peer review in some journal. Fuck.
Empirical evidence being all people have is totally fine. Drawing a conclusion from it is just lazy.
No what is lazy is discrediting something simply because you don’t agree with it.
“disingenuous” and "intellectual dishonesty " have only been online catch phrases used so often in the last maybe 5+ years… kinda like gaslighting has recently seen a surge in its use.
Usually these terms are ways of stifling conversation about things people get sensitive about.
I’ve had multiple conversations with Brick before about this topic. Like actual back and forth with real numbers and thought. Don’t flatter yourself by thinking you punch in Brick’s weight class.
I’m aware. I stated I thought they were bad conclusions. You were the one white knighting the anonymous guy like I was coming for his pension.
Well he didn’t provide anything other than his opinion, so given the lack of substance, I’m not sure what my choices are.
Also a riot coming from you, considering ya know, duh.
Multiple people tried to have an actual conversation about it. So far @BrickHead has been too busy to reply, and obviously we’re not going to get substance from you.
I still think the 2 of you should have an in depth discussion about the root of all of this. You’ll really enjoy the type of person he thinks is the cause.
Wrong mindset! Chores should be equal. I’d feel like shit if I didn’t pitch in, because why should women have to do all the work? That’s just laziness, and being lazy sucks.
Fixed that for you.
My mom tried to throw that bullshit onto me for years until I just told her, very bluntly, that I didn’t care whether or not she yelled for hours on end about how she wanted to divorce my dad within the next month, because I had no opinion either way.
If you’re outside doing something dangerous like getting on the roof, cleaning the drains, and shit like that and then coming inside to also be told that ya must be cleaning dishes… you’re a fucking idiot but then again I see it a lot now. American men have been scammed. I’ll never date another American chic again unless she’s wealthy.
Before some of these modern feminist dudes come in here crying about what I just said do a quick search on Jeff Bezos lol. Mother fucker is one of the, at times the richest man in the world and yet look at the texts he was sending a 50 year old woman and how she was responding lol. Then take a look at the current President of Brazil’s wife, homie.
I disagree that chores should be equal. Contributions to running the household should be roughly equal. That includes both chores and whatever work is done outside the house to pay for it. It would also include whatever work is done to raise any children. Just my 2c.
