  • That’s a ridiculous distinction

    I'm not sure what distinction you're referring to. I don't care either.

    Edit: for that matter, I'm mystified as to why you are continuing to engage with me if you genuinely believe that I am victim blaming. Unless you don't genuinely believe I am victim blaming, in which case why would you accuse me of that. Despicable.

  • I never got a nude pic, but I 100% know/knew some guys that were probably like this

    So.. you never encountered this yourself then?

  • get together and make a raid/foray into one of these manosphere forums, supporting each other's arguments and shooting down sexist crap

    Such behaviour is called "brigading" and it's very much frowned upon.

  • Misandry is when someone says men who believe women shouldn't be allowed to vote are abusive.

    That's not what I said. I said there's a difference between being an asshole and being abusive and if OP can't see and acknowledge that difference then they're engaging in misandry. I didn't say anything about voting rights and misandry. Please don't put words in my mouth or misrepresent what I say.

  • Women in relationships with assholes who believe they should have no rights

    Firstly, the original commenter who described the kind of relationship we're discussing didn't say "no rights" they said "shouldn't be allowed to vote" which is a very much more limited view than what you're raging against.

    are always being abused by the aforementioned asshole.

    That's not the situation that was described by the original commenter. Just because someone is an asshole and has reprehensible views, doesn't necessarily mean that they are abusive. There's a difference and if you can't see and acknowledge that difference then you're just engaging in misandry. In which case, best of luck, take care, bye now.

  • Have you forgotten the entire context of this thread?

    Nope.

    Did you even glance at the article?

    I read every word.

    They also talked about ... a man who doesn’t want his partner to vote

    That is not what they talked about. They said "men who genuinely claim that women shouldn't be allowed to vote". That is not the same thing as a man who displays controlling behaviour over their partner.

    Can you really not infer anything from that?

    There's no need for anyone to infer anything in this discussion, it's quite clear and explicit what people are talking about.

  • I don't understand your argument and you haven't addressed the issue at hand.

    Please spell out for me why a woman in a relationship with a man who believes that women shouldn't have the right to vote, can't exit that relationship?

    Victims of abuse are victims

    Note that the person you responded to didn't mention abuse, you introduced the term "abuse". We're talking about women in relationships with assholes, not abused women.

  • still don't understand how you think meat eaters are being harmed by the poor psychological state of the animals while they were alive

    Psychological state has a great impact on the physical body. Hormones, neurotransmitters, etc., can be released or suppressed depending on psychological state. When you consume part of an animal, you consume part of that system. Think of the rush of chemicals (cortisol, adrenalin, etc.) in an animal as they're being slaughtered.

    I could say more about subtle energy and karma but you probably get the idea.

  • the beef which enters a person's body won't be harmful to them (the person) at all

    I differ completely.

    If you're talking about the psychological state the animals are in while they are alive

    Well there's no psychological state when they're dead :-)

    more space and such,) which results as far as I know, in a better psychological state

    Cows having more absolute space than chickens doesn't imply that cows will have a better psychological state. What matters is how much space the animals have relative to how much space the animals need. I would expect farms to give animals precisely as little space as the farm can get away with, meaning the degree of suffering will be exactly at the point of maximum suffering while still surviving, for cows and chickens.

    Regardless, I think there's likely more harm to meat eaters due to the psychological impact of being slaughtered.

    Generally, there's no data on these issues so it's all just opinion either way. Suffice it to say that to me, your position seems naive.

  • industrial cows are treated mildly better because it is literally impossible for a cow to survive in the conditions chickens are kept in

    You seem to be talking about material conditions. What concerns me more are the psychological conditions and I don't believe there to be any difference in that respect.

    Do you believe that the beef which enters a person's body will be in some way less harmful, all else being equal, than chicken? Solely because of the absolute difference in the material conditions?

  • You'll eat beef but not chickens? You consider cows to be treated differently to how chickens are treated?

    Why?! They are totally different shows that share no similarities, do not share themes, do not share numerous details, share no actors, writers or directors and are just completely different, distinct SF shows!
