Hmmm yeah you have a point. If we ignore the religious, historical, sociological, psychological, biological, economic, political and cultural context, and basically everything else apart from the fact that the accusers in one of the hundreds of trials happened to be girls, it really is just about women being bitches to each other! Damn I've never thought of it that way. Must be because of my silly woman brain, always taking into account context and nuance and shit.
Sarcasm aside, witch hunts in Europe were started by the Catholic church, whom the American Puritans got "inspired" by in their trials. Both organizations are headed by men, with women holding very little authority, if any at all. If you have evidence to the contrary, I'd like to see it cited, because everything I found says the exact opposite of what you said. Also no idea what you mean by "the book". Only the Malleus Maleficarum comes to mind. Which was written by a dude.

...Are you really arguing that we should blame the Salem witch trials on little children? And furthermore use them as an example representative of all women?

@jethro_bob That's right, what you didn't mention was that the little girls were coerced by a priest, who was one of the girls' father, to give a false testimony against women who were deemed "undesirables" by the Church – namely a mentally ill pregnant woman, an old woman, and a foreign woman. It literally would've taken you an extra two or three minutes to read a few more paragraphs about it but you decided to stop when you were able to cherrypick something that fit your worldview. (And I don't even have to mention the many cases in Europe...) But men are logic over emotion, right? Lmfaoooooo
@funkmasterrex Ahhhh yes, accusing and executing women for the lolz. Gottem! (Not saying anything against men btw, society is just weird like that. Our monkey brains really do think of the most fucked up shit sometimes.)

Lmao the biggest gossips I've ever met were all men. But that's anecdotal evidence and besides the point.
Whatever your experience is with men or women, the meme is about a real historical period. Y'know, stuff that we have records of. So saying "well in my experience men don't care" – they clearly did care at that time.

Oooh that's right I forgot Watchmen had a series as well. Thanks!

Hey I'm not a native English speaker either but from my understanding, gathering or foraging refers to picking stuff from the wild whereas harvesting is more about getting stuff you've yourself grown/produced, like from a field or a greenhouse. Hunter-gatherer societies existed before the agricultural revolution, hence the difference. That said harvesting is nowadays used as a rather general word so it could probably be used as well.
If you don't mind me asking, how similar are the four languages you mentioned? I know very little of Tagalog and pretty much nothing about the others so I'm curious, because I didn't know there were such linguistic differences in the Philippines.

Yup, this is also why many people self harm by cutting. A lot of people think they're doing it "for attention" or something but they're just trying to release endorphins that their brain lacks. But it's obviously not sustainable. Exercising, being in nature, self-care and mindfulness are the way to go.

Okay, Salty Stacy.

Referred to recent internet trends generally, not either of you.

I reacted to the post, not the poster. It was clearly and demonstrably you who started with the personal attacks.
In any case, good afternoon, good evening and good night!

When did I say or even insinuate I was insulted at all?

Soooo let me get this straight. You believe men and women were created for different purposes but also don't believe in enforcing the following of these different purposes societally? Because that seemed like the obvious logical conclusion of such a belief.
Well hey if you believe that the differences will manifest naturally through equality of opportunity, then we're on the same page.

Ah, I see! I tried that but it didn't work on mobile, it gives the same line even when I try to edit the comment. Maybe I'll try switching to desktop. Thank you!

@lucky11 Well said, I fully agree with your assessment. If there truly are differences, they will persist even when there's equality of opportunity. If there aren't, then there's no reason to keep a certain hierarchy. In either case, judging people as individuals and allowing them the same opportunities is the way to go. Also, funsubstance allows posting links now? Omg

So the meme saying women were "created to do" something isn't implying anything at all?

What did I twist and how?

Alright then, show me a study that says that "historical data and facts" prove that women should be assigned to the domestic life. I'll wait.
@famousone Me neither, I'm not trying to push anyone anywhere. I just said they should have freedom of choice.

As for the "women tend to be better at different things than men" – even if you were able to prove it was nature and not just nurture, it's in no way a green light for society-wide policy or rules whatsoever. Even if 99% of women said they'd want to be housewives, freedom of choice should be preserved, if for that 1% alone.

Ah, the good old "BuT pEoPlE LiKe YoU!!!1!" Lmao. If I had a dollar for every time you've used this "argument" and accused me or @general_failure personally of causing everything that's wrong with the world instead of addressing the topic of the conversation, I'd go out of my way to disagree with you publicly more often because it'd be a hell of a lucrative job.
And just for the record, you're attributing those opinions to me incorrectly. (I'm in shock, it's not like you've done this before... Or every time...) I'm actually against affirmative action, I think the better way is to systemically improve the education system so that people from economically disadvantaged backgrounds have a better chance at success themselves. Pretty sure I've voiced this here a few times actually.

Yea true there's been a surge of tradwife pick-mes lately. Which, y'know, if you wanna be a tradwife I totally support that decision and wish you the best. But don't shove that shit down other people's throats as something women were "created" for or whatever. That's just fundamentally anti-freedom.
