To conflate the main activities of an occupying army with that of a tactical cell or rebel/insurgent and claiming they're the same in nature, really makes me wonder why we would ha…

As stated, the male gaze is a form of misogyny. Since you keep asking the same, here's some reading for you as well. It's not worth my energy to reply if your just going to ignore …

Why is it considered by others to be a bad thing, to see women as lesser and to keep them down, just because they're women? Let me give you an easy out here, and tell you my assump…

Please become familiar with the guidelines. Your comments show you aren't, or show a complete disregard for it. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

If it exists for males to revel in? Yes, the male gaze is misogynist. I don't think that still requires explaining, it has been written about a lot.

Bit off topic but a pet peeve of mine. "A few bad apples", is only the first part of the expression that ends with: "spoil the batch". I think it is applicable here as well.

What's your point? The reason that guns are dangerous isn't schizophrenia either, but we know that they're more dangerous than marijuana as well. Likewise it is quite evident that …

It isn't lack of understanding that is being expressed, it is a lack of acceptance. I think that is a good thing. And even if you would percieve ignorance instead, it doesn't mean …

"The famous Marshmallow Test. Do the kids have high trust or low trust in the authority figure to give them 2 marshmallows?" Not a good example as those were about the child having…

I agree with the point you're trying to make, but not your sentiment. To quote the guidelines: "Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Please don…

The ability to speak English is a function of wealth? Sorry, what?

Internet is bigger than the mainstream. It's not just YouTube and Facebook. If you really wish to have a side stream, maybe go on 4Chan or visit the dark web. Because let's not pre…

Neither does it his. It is a problem for some areas to the point it will completely erode the empathy of people who have to live with it. Their stake is not an internet argument, b…

Again: "you're holding it wrong". Just because a plant based lifestyle is burdensome, doesn't mean people think it should be. And by that reasoning neither should any other diet. S…

> Firstly, why does every story need to include a mix of genders speaking? Did every Saturday morning cartoon have to end with explaining the moral of the story, and followed by a …

You're missing the point. As these things are regulated, the holes get plugged by the authority regulating them. This is not so much the case in the crypto space. They see regulati…

It is becoming very clear from your comments you have not seen the thing you're criticizing, bur rather argue from a paradigm you're familiar with. So I am going to join the chorus…

Excuse me? Dutchie here, the US have a horrible reputation even among their allies. They are as much criticized as Russia is right now. Maybe even more so considering that we get m…

You sound like you found it more important that the source of the claim be found, than the conclusion of those resources not being as easily available. Barring the idea that anyone…

It hasn't ceased to amaze me to see how many people from the US think of their ideology as the end result of a process. As their ideology is the logical conclusion of it, and some …

Do you have a problem with the words "disorder" or "illness"? Because it comes across to me that it rubs you the wrong way that so many people can be considered flawed in some way.…

> I don't see any reason why it would just go away as a concept, though. It seems like it's pretty well established at this point that there is a collection of characteristics that…

I don't think this comment section is supposed to be a competition. Neither do I think the article was a sneer towards others, but a way to ask for empathy for a certain situation.…

I think this sentiment would be good motivation for her to keep on going. For one, a lot of comedy is based on grievance and grudge and presenting them in a novel light. And she is…

For me the analogy falls flat, as the cuban missile crisis is a response to something the US did, and the invasion of Ukraine is a response to something that Ukraine did (and not N…
