Posted October 19, 2022 @Optimized Life To be a bit fairer to you and demonstrate to others how you've conflated the experience of rape trauma to the experience of false accusations and jail time, let's look at this from a different context and situation. The context is fitness, and the issue is which fitness programs or which ways to exercise. What you did, is you took the power lifter/strongman's fitness program, were they prioritize lifting heavy to very heavy weights, with certain types and ranges of exercises, and you took the bodybuilder/marine/navy training program for endurance, and conflated the intensity of the power lifter/strongman fitness program and falsely equate that intensity to that of the marine's and the bodybuilder's, it's no big deal that experiencing high intensity can be highly traumatic and stressful, look at the marine's and bodybuilders! The D.O.M.S (damage onset muscle soreness) and higher metabolic stress is far more concerning. The main issue is you had to downplay the negative effects of the stresses of the strongman/power lifter, and by doing so, you've written off the experiences of the power lifter and strongman and over emphasized the troubles of the bodybuilders and marines. Yes, in context to fitness, every type of fitness program is designed to increase some level of stress, in order for your body to respond and adapt to those stress levels, but that doesn't mean every fitness program is equally stressful and equally bad.

Even if that small price is buried so deep that you’re disconnected from it most of the time. My suggestion would be to find and listen to whatever that is because I can guarantee with absolute certainty that whatever it’s trying to show you is not what you currently believe. Good day to you sir. Wait, so when anyone finds this community, they are automatic saints? Oh, and is it piece, place or price? Peace? Pieces? Peaches?

Sorry, what did you mean when you wrote 'Ah fairs my dude.'? Is it similar to writing 'Ah, that's fine my dude.', or 'Ah, fair enough my dude.', along those lines of words?

If what you claim is correct to @Ulax, that you 'don't have any stakes in this, I don't have an agenda to convince anyone.', followed by 'I'm still trying to make sense of how feminists get away with this level of self-delusion.' why would you use syntax and exclamation to suggest you were surprised and frustrated in the following 'On my end, this still is an open-minded discussion!'?

If so, could you explain to me what type of person joining this online community looks like to you? So, it really was a typo?

Posted October 19, 2022 @Ulax 4 hours ago, Ulax said: @mr_engineer To some yes, to some no. I think it would be pointless me saying it to some feminist demographics. I'm not actually intending to tell you to stop complaining. Its more that it seems to me you are trying to persuade people to your viewpoint and it doesn't seem like your strategy is v effective to me. To my mind, complaining isn't an effective way of persuading people to your point of view. So, what would you say to @mr_engineer to help him improve on his persuasion tactics? What are some examples that would replace what you think is him 'complaining'? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 19, 2022 @Ulax 5 hours ago, Ulax said: @mr_engineer Dude imo if you give people lectures they tend to get more polarised against you. Do you want to complain at people or do you want to see the change you desire? Imo, you can sit around all day complaining and saying the world should be this way or that way. I think i fucking get it. I often wish the world was another way. But, no matter how much anyone complains, the way the world is at the current moment is the way it is at the current moment. If you wanna bring some positive change, then imo you gotta be strategic about how you go about doing it. Imo the way you're communicating you're actually further enabling toxic feminine behaviours. The way I see you speaking seems to me to just play into toxic feminine narratives re those who call out aspects of feminism. So, do lectures equate to complaining, in your view? Do you mean the educated, academic philosophical lectures, or the colloquial meaning of 'lectures'? If I want to bring some positive changes, what are some of those changes do you suggest to me?

It's just the decent thing to do. Most aren't doing it to be a white knight and get some sex. I know guys like that exist but they're not especially common. Not as common as right-wing internet culture would lead you to believe. Same goes for "white-knight soy-boy cucks". Those are all terms adopted from right-wing internet culture. There are some people who you can tell get all their ideas about other people and groups from the internet. Which decent humans are you referring to?
