research project

I sometimes wonder if Simone de Beauvoir viewed her relationship with Sartre as a research project. She lived/slept with a man like that so she could develop the level of disgust necessary to compose The Second Sex. @FischerKing64

women becoming increasingly woke

Why are women becoming increasingly woke, and men increasingly conservative? I have some theories, but I'd like to hear what you think. @Ian Miles Cheong (график - из FT)

дискуссия там познавательная. среди прочего цитируют Оруэлла:

"It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy."

~ George Orwell, 1984

I’m a masochist

Horns Below Her Halo [youtube] - хорошее название. и текст соответствует:

She is a devil in a dress
A wolf in sheep clothes, she got horns below her halo

She parades like a saint on Sunday morning
But even the devil dwelled in heaven once
She masquerades to keep the people from knowing
She's as evil, as evil does

есть еще Devil in a Dress:

I would give my life for one more kiss
I’m a man in pain, I’m a masochist

homely face

A homely face and no figure have aided many women heavenward.

We already knew

A new study shows that good looking women are more likely to be right wingers. Angry and bitter women are more likely to be left wing.

We already knew this. @charliekirk11

conformist tendencies

...women are less supportive of free speech primarily because they’re more averse to harm/conflict, with their conformist tendencies playing a minor role at best. @NoahCarl90

Nathan Cofnas: Tiny quibble: "How many of the creators of fascism...were women? Practically none." Margherita Sarfatti came up with the idea of combining nationalism and socialism, and fascism probably wouldn't have existed if not for her. But obviously she was an exception.
Sarfatti got written out of history by the fascists because she was a woman and a Jew, and by Jews/feminists because she was a fascist.

Genuinely curious

Why do women inject their thighs and ass like this? I’m old enough to remember when girls tried to avoid that look. What changed? Are there guys who even like this? Genuinely curious! @Emmyjewel

мизогиния на марше

I would add that women are worse at science too, typically 0.3+ SD below men on scientific knowledge tests.

And then there's their higher levels of irrationality, as can be seen in belief in astrology, religion, spirits, pseudoscience and so on.

Theistic philosophy is über cringe. Trying to justify some 2000 year old desert people religion using logic sleight of hands is not exactly rational behavior.

sexual coercion fantasies

Any good evopsych theories why? @Aella_Girl

множество ответов, но одного достаточно от @primalpoly:

These results are consistent with most research on sexual coercion fantasies.

Lots of ideas from ev psych & ev bio are relevant here, such as hypergamy, patrilocality, tribal warfare, resistance-as-screening, mate choice for dominance, adaptive self-deception....

memento Mori

TOKYO — Yoshiro Mori, the head of the Tokyo Olympics organizing committee, apologized Thursday for saying women talk too much during meetings, but said he had not considered resigning despite a public furor.

In a news conference, the 83-year-old spoke of his “remorse” for his remarks and said he took them back. But he showed no obvious signs of regret, and he smiled several times.

Mori, a former Japanese prime minister with a record of offensive remarks, was reported as saying that women have an “annoying” tendency to make meetings run unnecessarily long, offering it as justification for the lack of female representation on the Japanese Olympic Committee (JOC) board.

chastity not virginity

For men, how important is ‘chastity’ in choosing a wife? I’m referring to ‘committed exclusivity in matters sexual’ not virginity or anything too out there. @kaschuta

Medusa With The Head of Perseus

NEW YORK - MWTH project and NYC Parks is pleased to present Medusa With The Head of Perseus by Argentine-Italian artist Luciano Garbati in Collect Pond Park, located on Centre St, Lower Manhattan, as part of NYC Parks’ Art in the Parks program.
...
This narrative of victim-shaming in stories of sexual violence echoes through time, and into the present day “me too” movement. In 2018, Garbati posted a photograph of his original sculpture to social media.

woman as a victim

Whether a woman believes she's ever been the victim of gender discrimination has an awful lot to do with her politics. @a_centrism

отличный комментарий:

Since workplace discrimination is in favor of women & has been for a few decades, this is simply a graph of neuroticism.

“If someone relentlessly treated you well, could you still find a way to hate them for it?”
