How was it called? When people are so close to getting the point it hurts, yet still don't get it? I remember there being a subreddit about it.

I miss that subreddit

[–] hOrni@lemmy.world 12 points 6 hours ago

Yep, that's it. Thank You.

He would feel threatened if a creepy woman TSA agent did this to him too. It's much more rare, but it's a better argument for these kinds of people. I've seen this response countless times. Banned from r/conservative for "threatening" users lol.

Think of them like children (his debate skills are <6th grader, so he literally is). You have to be gentle.

They're not like children, they're just narcissists.

It's the attitude of: "If I do something bad to you, you should be flattered. But don't you dare do that to me!"

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 hours ago

Nah, hit his homophobic ass with the theoretical hyper-masculine leather daddy hitting on him

Classic conservative move, they immediately understand the problem when it applies to them but cannot or will not generalise to others

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 13 points 7 hours ago

Even when presented with the hypocrisy, they still refuse to acknowledge there is a problem.

[–] guillem@aussie.zone 6 points 6 hours ago

Maybe it's safe to assume he's a conservative but you'll be surprised at how many brocialists we have on the left.

[–] wheelie@lemmy.world 60 points 11 hours ago (4 children)

That's more of an idiot move.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 88 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Who's got the time to tell the difference?

[–] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 60 points 11 hours ago

Sure- conservatives aren't all idiots. Some are assholes

[–] moonlight@fedia.io 28 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

The Venn diagram between those two things is basically a circle at this point.

[–] Cavemanfreak@lemm.ee 2 points 43 minutes ago

I don't really agree. The idiot circle nicely encompasses the conservative circle, but there are a lot of idiots that aren't conservatives as well!

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 14 points 10 hours ago

That's what they said

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 22 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Can you even imagine his response if a gay man had approached him the same way? Dude would be on the 6 o'clock news crying into the camera while covered in blood.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

Sone might fight, but guys like these on socials would get hammered by gay dudes. No pun intended.

he made her point so perfectly well, and yet still can't (and won't ever be able to) see it himself.

[–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 24 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Well, you see. The man has a penis, therefore he is at higher risk of violence than women.

Wait, no. It's the opposite.

[–] kkj@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Cis men experience more of every non-sexual form of violence than cis women on average, to the point where they experience more incidents of overall violence.

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 19 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

The fun part is when you start digging into where that violence is coming from....

[–] sudneo@lemm.ee 0 points 1 hour ago

For amybody experiencing violence, how is that important?

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 9 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

A lot of trans women who possess penises are at extreme risk of violence from men.

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

And trans men experience struggles with an epidemic of both sexual abuse and domestic violence, which is basically not studied at all.

[–] refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Yes, but they are still women, and I specifically was referring to men with penises.

Checkmate, atheists.

[–] mystik@lemmy.world 92 points 11 hours ago

That went so far over his head, I'm not sure he heard the woosh.

Exactly what I was thinking from just the title, heh.

DO YOU HAVE TP?! Rrrrolios

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 34 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Reminds me of an episode of "Cheers." Cliff calls a woman and starts heavy breathing into the phone, then he's surprised when she hangs up.

"My mom always laughs when I do it to her!"

[–] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 19 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

I recently discovered that, at the beginning of Cheers, Cliff was some five years younger than I currently am, and I'm not happy about this AT ALL.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 7 points 7 hours ago

A while back, someone mentioned Jack Benny, and we all laughed about how he'd always say he was "only 39."

When we were kids, we wondered how old you had to be to think that 39 was young.

Now we know!
