Since I invariably wind up getting “name suits” types of comments, here’s the explanation behind it:

Around the turn of the millennium, I was trying to come up with a username to use on a particular site that had a shortish character count limit for usernames. My goal was something related to the fact that I would often be making my points in arguments with “holier-than-thou” types by taking what they were saying, and turning it on its head so the offensive stuff was directed back at them.

I also happened to learn shortly beforehand that many years ago “'ape” was somewhat commonly used as a verb to mean “imitate” or “copy.”

I’m sure you can figure the rest out.

    I was a kid in 6th grade the last time I spoke any significant amount of German while attending Internationale Gesamtschule Heidelberg. With nobody to speak in German with since then, I have forgotten too much of it in the roughly 45 years since to hold even a minimal conversation. I wish that weren’t so, as I still miss that beautiful country (kid me loved exploring the castles).

    medicine is always in context of medication. If you have beast cancer, you can not give the same medicine to a men. This is a matter of death or live.

    Thank you, Captain Obvious. That still doesn’t explain what you’re complaining about with regard to women & medicine.

    Military
    -> You have to point the inequality out. Its never a waste of effort

    Feel free. Why do the women need to start if the men themselves are not? Again, forced service is not something anybody should want, so expecting women to complain about something that’s not happening when it’s something that shouldn’t be happening is absurd.

    Speech
    -> always directed AGAINST men.
    is it not sexism? So we use language to attack a whole gender? Is it fair? is it equality?

    Have you never heard “dumb blonde,” or “women can’t (drive|math|whatever)” jokes? Have you never learned about the extremely LONG history of women having to put up with mistreatment simply due to generally being physically weaker or less aggressive on average? How about the fact they have been known to be routinely paid less than men for the same (or more) work?

    Something tells me a woman beat you at something and you’ve never been able to live it down or let it go. It’s skewed your whole perspective, and you’ve lost the “big picture” on reality (assuming you ever had it).

    Incel-quality drivel
    I assume you just speak out of frustration, so I do not take it seriously.
    But can you explain why I am a an incel? Is it wrong to point out the injustice in feminism ?

    I did not accuse YOU of being one, in part simply because I don’t know you & have no way of knowing if that’s the case. What you said in your post sounds very much like something straight out of one’s mouth, however. The fact you didn’t notice that difference in attribution, and jumped straight to that conclusion is possibly indicative of your mental state.

    Not interested, not watching. Nothing you’ve said makes me inclined to believe it’d be worth my time.
