the only president in over 100 years to lose the popular vote twice. he won it his third time. unbelievable. as a rapist he's probably used to insisting after rejection until he wears them down.

that's not how it works. think how multiplayer games work. it doesn't matter if a multiplayer game is good if no one's playing. but if a game people have been playing starts to deteriorate, they usually stick to it because they have invested time and accrued some in game currency or rank and they don't want to start over on a new game that may or may not be successful.

memorizing the order of the alphabet would take precious real estate that could instead hold a couple more digits of pi

because other people are. idk why anyone has trouble understanding that for most users social media is only as good as its population.

I didn't say I invented it. I said I made it up. it's not that wild of an analogy to be impossible to come up with it independently. i was thinking of grains and then remembered an old reddit post about putting skittles in an m&ms bowl.

wow they probably stole that too, since it's such a crazy original idea that no two people can think of it.

again, "FBI crime stats but for men" is not a good critique because again, it's not comparable to black people. unless you think the police unfairly favor immigrants, especially undocumented immigrants. women do get more lenient sentences but that wasn't my argument.

if you have any evidence that women commit as many and as serious crimes as men please share. or if you think men are historically oppressed and financially disadvantaged as context to their crime stats, I'd like to hear that.

pointing at vague similarities to other arguments when they are nothing like each other won't cut it.

there's a certain kind of privilege in that. like, life must be so good for people to not even bother knowing who's president.

no, I made it up because it's an easy analogy. but my argument is still different on two fronts.

first, the claim is absolute when it should be comparative. documented immigrants commit less crime than citizens. undocumented immigrants even less than them.

men on the other hand commit crime in ridiculously higher rates than women, and even disregarding that, men commit more serious crimes than women. technically more than bears too.

second, my argument isn't about opposing men, so it's not even comparable to the opposing immigration argument. it's about the fact that men pose a real threat and maybe it's appropriate to take action to address that rather than get defensive about it.
