I agree that we need to treat men (and indeed everyone, we're all victims) with compassion and care. However, I think these conversations often turn into tone policing our own community more than those who attack it

In progressive spaces, we need to make room for anger and negative emotion because they are how we express the injustices of the world. The problem is, how do we allow people to express that anger safely, without causing harm. To that, I don't know the answer, but I have personally found art quite helpful

Idk, I'm trying to also be sympathetic to that anger because it often comes from a place of hurt

Also practices like that reinforce the gendered division of labour. As men get jobs, women are usually left to pick up the slack of care responsibilities. This leaves them financially dependent on those men. So both men and women suffer, but the system leaves women with less agency than men.

(Also nonbinary, queer, and third gender people are treated even worse)

Except carcinnisation only happens in some crustaceans, so it's less a universal thing and more a selective pressure

Using Tubular, which is a fork of newpipe with sponsorblock integration. It's a bit buggy but I like not having to skip every sponsor

"Orcas were given the name ‘killer whale’ by ancient sailors’ observations of groups of orcas hunting and preying on larger whale species. They called orcas ballena asesina, or ‘killer whale.’ Their Latin name, Orcinus orca, also reflects this observation of orcas feeding on large whales. Orcinus translates to ‘of the kingdom of the dead,’ and orca refers to a kind of whale."

So seems like this etymology makes more sense.

To use a trolley problem metaphor, what they are saying is not pulling the lever is the same as allowing five people to die. If fascism is progressing and you do not stop it, you are allowing it to progress. Whether you consider that propagation comes down to your ethical framework, but from a consequentialist view it is accurate
