I don’t need to prove you wrong with examples, you are wrong, it’s very well documented and widely understood. If you choose to not believe it and can’t be bothered to research it yourself then you have chosen to stay ignorant, and wrong, which is your right.

Name a counter example

Statistics isn’t defined by examples. Educate yourself, this is a very well known and understood concept. Staying in ignorance is your choice.

Maybe do some research about statistical concepts before spouting what sounds good to you. Causation can absolutely ‘come’ without correlation.

You are a great example of someone not understanding that things are complex so you reach for tabloid explanations because they are comfortable and simple.

Your palm is nearly a meter wide?!

Dehumanising people makes it easy to hate and persecute them, and to blame them for a bunch of stuff which isn’t their fault. It really is a classic move with a rich history.

Overlooked doesn’t mean what you think it means.

Is the three musketeers really on par with the count? I’ve been meaning to read it for months but I always got the sense it would be disappointing.

All of HP Lovecraft’s stories.

I liked it until about half way through, it seemed to lose all the intrigue and then there was the weird bit about rape (if I remember correctly) at which point I gave up. Shame because it started well.

Sound on sound was always well worth a read. That said, I haven’t read it in about 20 years and don’t know if it’s even still going.

Why is that called a dog whistle?

Sounds like textbook NPD, particularly his backstory.

You mention gender role stereotypes but then fall prey to one when you clearly think you should be served first because of your gender. If you don’t believe in equality and would rather stick to ancient and out of date traditions that’s fine but perhaps he is a bit more progressive and you are not well suited to each other.

It’s ok for a woman to pay, it’s ok for a woman to suggest a second venue, it’s ok for a woman to make the first move. It’s not 1950 any more.

Regardless, like others have mentioned, having this much to question after one date isn’t a good sign.

Yeah I was a bit perplexed by the mention of it being the strong stuff but I think you’re right.

When you look at support for things such as physical/emotional/financial abuse against men then it’s painfully lacking which can be devastating. This alone is a lot more widespread than you may think. Whether this warrants a minister is another question but there are areas which desperately need attention and it’s unfair to say just because women get the shitty end of the stick in general that men are not in need to support too.

I just run ‘paru’.

Looks interesting and comprehensive though, a few things I should probably implement.

What’s controversial about who goes to heaven, isn’t that stated in the religious text?

Wouldn’t this benefit everyone? Presumably the implications are far wider and more important than who makes the most profit from it.

It’s crazy that you have to explain this in such a basic way but it’s still ignored/denied/misunderstood.

A valid reason for a start.
