N.B. misandry is not real because men are not systemically oppressed (uninternalize your reddit MRA today: men suffer some drawbacks under the patriarchy but ultimately still maintain it due to the large amount of privileges they receive under it!)

I'm so proud of her.

I believe she'll get some sort of hormone therapy soon, but she got anti-depressants, and she's feeling much better.

We had a chat on Weixin/WeChat and it was great.

When I told her about my seizure or whatever it was I experienced, she said that you get to write the next chapter and to basically look forward to the future

Okay, I don't want to over-do it or over-burden people with info and I may show her my post here on Hexbear; she's probably still adjusting to her much-needed meds.

She lives in Mainland China, btw.

I didn't go to the hospital 'cause I didn't want to worry my family

Ugh

This person basically uses a bunch of graphs to argue that status of elite groups persist under even the most extreme cases. For example, the elites targeted in the PRC and the Soviet Union bounced back in elite status after a generation or two, how many elite southern planter families regained their status after the Civil War, how formally interned Japanese Americans reached the same homeownership rate as the non-interned Japanese Americans after a decade, etc.

But then they suggest that

So status persists throughout history even in the most extreme scenarios. What explains this? Genes play a major role. Consider how status persists when the status is accurized purely through chance.

Is this really a reasonable conclusion to draw? I saw one tweet criticizing this, saying

this information is very interesting, but it's nonsense to think this implies genetics/talent/effort causes success. i see this as evidence that social/human capital is persistent and important for economic development, so inequality on this dimension breeds economic inequality https://x.com/leonveliezer/status/1792413175301935124

Which seems like a good objection to me.

What do you all think?

Every time I write the word "the", the word "genocide" gets auto suggested. Its fucking killing me.
