It is a podcast.

Why do you need to watch it?

Some kind of schtick to refer to yourself this way or do you do this naturally?
If you don’t know the show Futurama, Scruffy doesn’t want to know you.

I know far more women than men teach... but I'm starting to wonder just how far apart rates of sexual misconduct really are between men and women. Probably not as far apart as we've been led to believe.
I would bet you that the rates skew HEAVILY towards the female teachers.

The punishment for males is substantially worse, which is likely why we don’t see it as often nowadays.

Females will get a slap on the wrist and men will defend them, despite their predatory actions, if they are even remotely pretty (as seen on here).

Start burying them under the prisons, like they do with males, and you’ll likely see the rates decline.

You'll have ro go back 15-20 years to buy a GMC/chevy that isn't junk...hate to tell you that,but it's true.
Scruffy’s 2022 Canyon has been really nice.

No major issues.

Only thing that popped up was needing to replace the temperature sensor, which was under warranty.
Samia Suluhu

She is cracking down on protestors as harshly as any male.

So how could things flip without institutional barriers for men, today?
That is such an interesting question, SFP.

Cubbies could you answer that for the class?

:lol:

It'd be interesting to draw this out in relation to women becoming more prevalent and powerful in politics and authority.
How about Tanzania’s current female president who has killed multiple people protesting her election?
Thank you, SFP.

She’ll probably ignore that, though.

Somehow those women stuck in those post-secondary institutions are the ones who are actually suffering.
quote:

Where men hold most of the power and wealth and have since its inception (while wanting to disenfranchise women for voting for the wrong men to govern the country). Where medical professionals, such as yourself if I recall correctly, frequently dismiss the concerns of their women patients.
:lol:

And men are also the largest number of homeless, commit suicide more frequently.

Through women’s empowerment, your gender has employment opportunities not afforded to men, federal and state contracting not afforded to men, and the list goes on.
quote:

If that were true, the man-boy crisis wouldn't be discussed ad nauseum.
The only place it is even discussed is on forums, like this one, and fringe groups like MGTOW.

No one cares.
quote:

More like, "we're all suffering but people only talk about men because men are whining about now dealing with the same shite women have always had to put up with."
Were you even awake during the entire MeToo movement?

That is simply the most recent period of the world catering to feminist whims.

We truly live in different realities if you believe otherwise.
quote:

You make me think of a typical man.

Good.

We need more “typical men”.
quote:

In what ways would you say women are NOT generally ignored? Research doesn't really support your claim.
Every social, educational, industrial, etc., movement for my entire life, that wasn’t centered on minorities, was centered around female empowerment.

You are batshit crazy. :lol:
quote:

The premise of the article is that men/boys AND women/girls are struggling, but since women/girls are generally ignored, we only hear about men and boys "in crisis."
What fricking universe do you live in?

:lol:

It has been the exact opposite of that since the 60s.

On top of that, even if you consider the increase in discussions regarding male issues, still no one gives a shite.

This OP is the quintessential example of the feminist progressive mind.

“There is a crisis among young men…but women are really the ones suffering.”

You make me think of a clip I saw recently where an uneducated feminist was claiming that it wasn’t the men dying in war who were suffering, it was actually the women.

It is hilariously bad.

I just picked up The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect.

Seemed weirdly interesting, especially in our current AI-focused world.

Mass Effect 2 was great. Too bad they never made a 3rd game.

77 years old, polio survivor, started fainting several times a day , last month. Urgent visit with cardiologist included mri where she fainted in front of doc. Additional testing ordered for a 14 day continuous heart monitor. That concluded 2 weeks ago with no report. Followup office visit not followed through by doc. No communication.
Sounds like the doc is terrible and you should find a new one.

This morning I tried Chatgpt and what a wonderful analysis tool. I described her background, and symptoms . And in a few minutes receive an on topic description of the malady, Vasovagal Syncope, contributing factors, meds to consider adjusting, daily hydration techniques, exercise program and check sheets tailored to a paraplegic. Everything I need to work with a general practitioner.
Your quick description doesn’t sound like vasovagal syncope.

Good luck though.
