Kid A

The generation with baggy, ugly clothes and middle part haircuts to save money thinks looking good is something new and revolutionary. Makes total sense to me.

You're a man. There's a big difference between attacking your own gender and the other. Also worth mentioning that this is a very male-dominated forum and women are a small minority here. Which is something I understand better and better for each day I spend here...

Completely contrary to my experience. This is a very long video and the comment section is a big red flag to me. So much victimhood… Would you mind giving a summary?

This is your perspective. For some of us, it’s obvious that those who claim we live in a matriarchy without having any arguments for it are by far the most emotional ones.

Croatia, because there you can find NoSelfSelf and finally learn game.

I explained why, by definition, we live in a patriarchy: Men hold the majority of political, economic, and institutional power. Your response is an explanation for why it is that way, not an argument for why we live in a matriarchy…

+1 I spend a lot of time on a highly male dominated Norwegian forum where we discuss all kinds of topics, and I don’t see any of this shit there. I guess the average Norwegian is more developed than the average person here.

So that’s why around 65–75% of top leadership positions in Western countries are held by men, 60–70% of members of parliament in Western countries are men, and women earn on average about 10–15% less than men in Western countries. Makes sense.

He did. Example number 8: I would argue that the Epstein case proves that Spiral Dynamics does not work well at an individual level. Especially when it’s used to label individuals you don’t know personally. I still think Leo’s examples of the different colors are good, since some people clearly demonstrate traits typical of certain stages more than others. But to say that a specific person is one particular color is not the way to go.

Yeah, I realize I have a way too simple view of the matter. I have a lot to learn here. Appreciate the feedback.

I meant, very generally speaking, how the average woman has been expected to be the caring mother who takes care of the children and home, while the average man has been expected to be responsible for external provision.

An important point regarding the pre-1960s/70s vs today is that the world at that time was structured in the same way humanity had been organized since the dawn of time, when we’re talking gender roles, and something we therefore had thousands of years to specialize in. When society moves in a completely new direction, as we have done by having women participate in the workforce almost equally as men, there will naturally be “growing pains.” We can see this precisely in how women end up caught in a squeeze where they are expected to live up to both the new expectations and the old ones.

This is really interesting. I haven't seen the movie, but I think this speech explains it pretty good: Modern women seem to be trapped between men's, women's and not least their own expectations. She doesn't even mention the menstruation issue in all of this...

Same here. Having children would probably be the most effective way to ruin my life. Jesus. That was definitely oversharing!

Very good to see someone standing up against the injustice towards Andrew Tate.
