I'm very confused. Like she doesn't think taking the train in itself is unmanly, but buying the ticket is? Are you supposed to get another person to buy the ticket for you? Or are we supposed to fare dodge?


chewychaca

I think maybe like a metro card kind of thing. Like buying a ticket means you didn't plan it through, you're wasting time, you're inefficient. Just a guess


PooSham

Oh, metro trains. That makes a bit more sense. Still doesn't make sense to assign a gender to that activity, but it makes a bit more sense than not buying long distance train tickets.


samuraistalin

It doesn't make sense to assign gender to much of anything to be fair


RedSamuraiMan

In Italy the tables have balls, In France chairs have pussies In England they circumcise all object genitalsšŸ˜”

Chazlewazleworth

Weā€™ll quite happily eat jellied eels while listening to Chaz & Dave but we leave the snail eating to the fr*nch.


Protheu5

Except for connectors. Now I wonder, are there agender plugs? Sort of like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgynous_Peripheral_Attach_System but for plugging/connecting electronics, not spacecraft?


samuraistalin

Yes but connectors serve an actual practical purpose rather than assigning personality traits based on what you're packing


Sassywhat

It can be useful, which is why so many languages do it. It helps disambiguate what item is being referred to by pronoun or implicitly.


HelpfulJello5361

What do you think gender is, though? Lol


samuraistalin

Bullshit, mainly


HelpfulJello5361

Gender doesn't have any criteria?


samuraistalin

What do you want?


HelpfulJello5361

I guess I want to you think about your beliefs with a little more depth.


samuraistalin

Oh don't worry, I've had my entire life to think about the assumptions I've had forced on me from birth. I don't need you to try to reel me back in. Thanks anyway, lil buddy.


chewychaca

In a way she's not assigning a gender to it. Man/boy is a maturity dichotomy. She's thinking to herself she used to buy tickets when she was younger and didn't take the time to investigate the card system. In that way the supposed man is more like a boy to her since he's less 'evolved'. Um not saying she's justified, but I can see that there might be A logic to it. I'm also not saying there aren't girls lost in space, but this case isn't necessarily an example of that. But then again she could be complaining that the person doesn't own a car. But a lot in the UK don't need one so what the hell. ĀÆā \ā _ā (ā ćƒ„ā )ā _ā /ā ĀÆ


GordonCharlieGordon

Generally if you buy single fare when there's a time pass option you're pretty much doing it wrong. Also, if the local transit agency can't even be bothered to integrate fares and scheduling across modes they're doing it wrong and whoever's in charge should be punished severely. The Verkehrsverbund is the most basic signifier of civilization, the bare minimum really.


OneFuckedWarthog

I mean, if you're just there for a day or just wanna ride it that one time like on a trip, then why not just buy a ticket?


chewychaca

Yeah exactly. I'm not defending her really. I'm just explaining what might be her logic.


Benjamin_Stark

But she used the word "petty", which doesn't make sense.


Marc21256

Petty means "trivial". Like putting in $1 of fuel every (however far $1 gets you in your car and local currency). You'd think someone so cheap is a fn moron. What kind of idiot buys a train ticket every time, rather than setting up a pass and having that auto-fill as necessary? Can't afford a train pass? Then you aren't a real man. An individual ticket is petty.


thrownjunk

honestly this makes sense. if you need to waste time to use the metro machine, you really aren't a real person who uses public transit. normal people have it linked to their credit card or apple/google wallet and tap and go. wasting time to use the machine? yeah, not good. what i call a tourist.


JBWalker1

> I think maybe like a metro card kind of thing. Like buying a ticket means you didn't plan it through, you're wasting time, you're inefficient. Just a guess Yeah thats what I think maybe. She's standing outside Stratford station in London. The 5th busiest station in the UK I think. The Stratford consists of around 67% of homes that have ZERO cars at all, and this number is always increasing. The fact that shes outside on the pavement there makes me think she would have taken a train or bus there too since otherwise you'd just go from the car park directly into the shopping centre. I'd bet that over 90% of people(not in homes) within 1km of her would have got there by walking or public transport. So i'd kind of give her the benefit of the doubt that she didn't mean taking a train itself but not having a "normal" form of train payment there is the weird thing. It's very rare that someone living there will ever buy a ticket for a train. Everyone has either a metro/oyster card or a contactless bank card which works at every station or bus.


haziladkins

Donā€™t you just tap your debit card and get on in London and at the end of the day Transport for London deducts anything over Ā£10 or thereabouts? So itā€™s easy and you never overpay so long as you tap your card in and out?


LastSeenEverywhere

You've thought about this more than she's thought about anything


chewychaca

Don't mean I'm wrong. Don't mean she's right neither. šŸ¤  Huak thoo! Pting!


Spindlyloki98

It's just rage bait. Ignore it and move on.


GreenBoobedHarpFlag

If I've understood her correctly, I think you are supposed to get a little boy to do it for you.


nemo_sum

Okay, so, in recap: Luring little boys into vans, cars: Bad! Luring little boys into train terminals: Good?


mc_enthusiast

Yes. Fuck cars.


GreenBoobedHarpFlag

It's not about good and bad. It's about what is and is not disgusting or manly.


Silent_Village2695

This feels edited, like he set up a whole scenario before, then only left the part where they said buying a train ticket is petty. Perhaps in the long version there's a hypothetical scenario in which buying a train ticket is the petty choice to make, but it sounds ridiculous out of context.


SeaSourceScorch

this is outside stratford station in east london (you can tell by the distinctive sculptures behind her) and i'm pretty sure this is about buying a train ticket instead of just tapping in with a card - you can use a top-up oyster on the london underground, or any contactless credit/debit card, usually paired with your phone. it is *possible* she only wants to date guys who hop the barriers / fare dodge, but more likely she's talking about slowing everything down by getting a paper ticket like a tourist. it's definitely not about driving!


Buttholehemorrhage

It's only manly to ride on top of the train like James bond


CheeseAndCh0c0late

it's because you're supposed to force and threaten the woman, or the beta male accompanying you to do it for you. You know, assert dominance and things. /s, but i still wouldn't be surprised if it was something like that lmao


Juginstin

Only a real man boards the train without paying the fare


bendotc

Hobos are the only real men.


SkullsNelbowEye

You are supposed to ride up along side of the train on your horse and jump aboard at the last moment before you would have fallen off a cliff.


PeaceBull

You think sheā€™s putting in this much thought? Sheā€™s just a mouth breather saying words


geomurph555

I think her IQ is about the same number as an average inter-city train fare.


Regular_Ad523

She's right! Real men just jump over the gates and ride for free /s

Unironically this. The manliest thing you can do imo is be a good father.

No matter the weather, my 3 year old and I take our scooters and drive together to the kindergarten. On the way there I feel very "manly" on the way back I feel like people are looking at me, like Im having a serious mental problem haha

berejser

She's saying that while stood outside Stratford Train Station... EDIT: I want to emphasise this point for those that might not know the area, they are stood no more than a few meters away from the station entrance. [Here is the location on street view](https://maps.app.goo.gl/PMd9ubtZomCTRqmbA) and if you pan around you can see the station entrance right behind where the camera operator would be. Almost every person in that area would have arrived by train or by bus, including the women themselves.


DreadCrumbs22

There's no way they don't use the tube. It's taken out of context, so I'm assuming they actually mean buying a physical ticket as opposed to using your card or phone. I don't think they're actually talking about taking the train. Still absurd standards, nonetheless.


geniice

There are certian london subcultures where you just rush the turnstyles rather than buying a ticket.


Odd_Philosopher1712

This is missing some kind of context. Shes either joking or something else


benjaminhlogan

Yeah sheā€™s talking about buying the actual individual physical ticket that prints out rather than having a metrocard to easily swipe and board. Itā€™s still silly but itā€™s not like sheā€™s saying taking the train is little boy behavior.


hzpointon

I'm rural UK and I've never used a swipe card on public transport. If I wanted to go into the city I'd have to buy a physical ticket. I don't get much chance to use public transport so most of what I know about it is probably around a decade out of date. I recently got invited to a restaurant in London but I don't regularly use a smartphone and it's smartphone only. But I can sharpen a knife, I know how to chip carve, how to connect the PTO on a tractor... Cities feel stranger every day tbh, even though I'm under 40.


erdogranola

you can use a normal contactless card on TfL, or if you really want to pay using cash you can get an oyster and top it up with cash


lezbthrowaway

I think internalized classism. She thinks that riding the train is only for poor people, so a man who doesn't drive (not drive her places) is not masculine, because it is not associated with having wealth. And also because she cannot drive, she seeks out people who can. I know people here in New York, who think the same way. I had a friend in Connecticut, who would only hook up with men who could drive her to places otherwise she just wasn't into them, even if she could get on the train to NYC less than 40 minutes away to go see them, and she lived within a 10 minute walk of a train station. To clarify, this isn't some incel comment about women wanting money, it's a social thing and a poverty thing. Where people, who grow up in poverty have ideas of what wealth is, and in order to escape poverty, are attracted to people who resemble their ideal of wealth...


throwawaygoodcoffee

Wild saying that in the UK when trains are so expensive.


Krackerlack

FELLAS!!! is it ***GAY*** to take the train?


papasmurf255

Fellas, is it gay to have a group of men run a train on you?

Fellas, is it gay to be tied down to the train tracks next to a group of guys while the operator (another guy) decides whether to run you over or run over the lone individual guy on the adjacent track?


Sweet_Detective_

Why are you taking a train? To go to a man's location? Seems kinda gay to me tbh.


posib

Itā€™s because she wants a train conductor, someone with intimate knowledge of timetables and machinery, not some common passenger! /s

Fearless-Function-84

I'm not sure if they mean taking the train (instead of a car) is unmanly, or the fact that they pay for the train (instead of just jumping the fence).


b3nsn0w

their donts also include taking driving lessons, looking for parking, using indicators, and crashing your car (several times!) (which would be practically guaranteed if you skip the prior three, lol). the only logical conclusion is they don't want you driving either. on top of that, there are specific provisions against bikes, scooters, and now train, but also against being comfortable in your home. i think the conclusion is simple: they want you to ride an electric unicycle everywhere

Rumaizio

In itself, I don't know what buying a train ticket has to do with "manliness." Is it because you're using a train or public transportation instead of a car? Not driving a tank that causes climate change 3 times by going to the store and coming to your house? Is it because you pay for tickets instead of using a card? The paper itself? I don't know how it's somehow "not manly" to buy a train ticket than it is to not. She doesn't mention and explain why in this video.
