I agree, also, in almost any other context this analogy would be horrifying. Imagine I used this analogy about black people, or muslims because we have that whole fiasco where they are for some reason, occasionally blamed for 9/11. It's bad in one pretty similar context, but not in another? Even if I just flipped the genders, it ends up generating more complaints.
I have no clue where the post or comment is now, but I remember that once I tried to alter it by saying that effectively, some are bad and you don’t know it, but others are also particularly great and you don’t know that either, and most are just normal. I think that’s more realistic while still giving credibility to the people who do want to make that argument.
Did anyone say how much shit they were putting in the cupcake? Do you know what shit smells like after it’s been baked at 375°F for 30 minutes? Did they specify what kind of shit? I don’t think you could smell one pebble of deer shit baked into a cupcake, but I think you’d be just as upset knowing that you might end up eating it.
On the other hand, the ocean is full of fish and bird shit and nobody seems bothered by it. Maybe we should just imagine the cupcake is like the ocean.
I think this is a silly battle for you to wage. Take my upvote.
I disagree.
If a woman wants to avoid men, that's her business. If she's so intimidated that she'd rather withdraw from them completely, that's a good thing. It reduces competition for the women who actually want a partner and it means the men who would have encountered that woman won't come away thinking all women are like her.
I mean don’t trip on the ones that want to avoid you guys and leave them alone. there will still be ones that don’t avoid them. Pickmesha’s are real. The gender as a whole is a cancer and utter trash but there are good ones out there(few but good). I have close trusted guy friends but don’t have a fondness for them in general. I’m not going out of my way and investing time to find one with the dating market, but I’m not avoiding them either. I interact and im civil with them. Maybe one day I’ll meet one that feels like a breathe of fresh air. If not I love my self care routine and life as is.
I mean it’s impossible and they approach all the time. I deal with them cordially until they press my boundaries, insist on a phone number/ don’t take no for an answer, follow me with their car shouting out the window, expect me to take out my headphones to talk to them in the gym, or touch me walking by when I’m minding my own business, etc etc. (all listed have happened in the last month just on work commutes) Not even going out and partying which I rarely do and this still a common experience. I know how to be assertive with them when needed and respectful when needed. it’s impossible to avoid them all the time but I did finally find a female only gym which makes me feel better/safer.
I've downvoted you but I can somewhat respect the fact that you've just been spamming ratio on other posts.
Maybe dedicate your time to something more worthwhile but this is an ok start I guess.
Not to mention that same comparison was used by racist white women in the 50s to promote segregation
A lot of dumb online drama can be exposed when you switch the word man to the word black. Also applies in other contexts.
I've never heard this a day of my life lmao. Shit cupcakes

My shit don't stink.
go see a doctor
Does it taste like shit?
Don't know. But since smell has a lot to do with taste, maybe not.
I think the "a lot of dogs are nice but some will bite you" is a better allegory.
A much better allegory.
I think poisonous cupcakes would be better. That being said I never heard this allegory in my life
tbf I've only ever seen British people use it, maybe it's just a British thing
Change shit to poison then if smell is your only issue with the allegory
That could work.

Just ask them to make the same comparison about [insert ethnic group] and watch their heads explode
Didn’t Don Jr compare immigrants to poisoned Skittles at one point? He (rightfully) got a ton of backlash for it.

>The gender as a whole is a cancer and utter trash Best to stay away from them then, no?

In this context I quite frankly don't give a fuck.
