I don’t do my job for the pay. I could do something else and be paid far much, but I chose the one in which I kind of struggle financially but that has meaning. A lot of people do that.

So the answer is: yes. I’d prefer to do my job in a money-less society than in ours!

That is not what the text denounces.

No it’s not reasonable. And it’s wrong: a few wear lubavitch hats; Lubavitchs are well known as anti-Zionist Jews, even if there are exceptions.

Mixing Zionism and Judaism is racist.

If it’s not that, what’s the “joke” here? That Trump is in the hands of Jews? That’s not better. It’s even worse.

I know enough to recognize Jews; if you name racist generalizations just because you see Jews you’re racist.

That’s antisemitism. Israel ≠ Jews, and please don’t perpetuate the racist trope that Jews are the bosses of politicians.

Continue with that kind of messages, and you’ll just justify the disgusting propaganda of Netanyahu.

2 decennia of difference, why not. It’s not nothing but it can work. But 12 whole months? 12? That’s just disgusting!

I agree that “you shall not pass” rings better than “you cannot pass”… McKellen mistakes are improvements… that speaks volumes about the man’s talent!

Tolkien’s sentence is “you cannot pass”. Ian McKellen made an error, and the error stuck 😁.

As far as I know, there’s no direct link between Verdun’s sentence and Gandalf’s, but it’s possible. Unfortunately, I’m pretty sure there’s no link with ¡No pasarán!, as Tolkien was pro-Franco.

It’s a very loaded scene, with a lot of historical, mythological and theological underpinnings.

No. I said men are trash.

The demographic ≠ all the individuals within. It’s basic grammar.

I just want things to change. The situation is dire for women, we men must acknowledge that if we want equality. This thread and the reactions here are a confirmation that I’m right.

And who largely occupies positions of power, whether political, economic, cultural or social? Men. And women who proved that they can be man-like. Society is trash because men are trash.

Do you actually believe that men are negatively discriminated?

No.

And plenty of people are accused wrongly of things, this doesn’t make the wrong accusations true. Nice try tho.

Yes, but violence and power-thirst is not a biological trait of men. It’s a cultural one.

I’m a married man with daughters. I want a better world for them.

It’s the old paradox of tolerance, but applied to respect. Respecting oppressors wont bring respect. And we men oppress women as a “demographic”, even if we don’t individually want to. I know I individually don’t want to, but I know my privileges, and if a woman passes me alone on a poorly lit street, I know she is not in danger, but she cannot know that and will have good reason to be afraid.

I don’t want for women to be afraid anymore, I don’t want men to be called trash anymore, but the solution is to stop, as a “demographic” and not as individuals, to be dangerous for women. And the first step is to recognize the problem!
