We don’t have any of the large predators we used to (black bears, mountain lions, or gray wolves) but still retain large deer populations.

Human hunters replace the large predators that our landscape can no longer support.

It’s kinder to euthanize an un-releasable hawk rather than try to find it a permanent home with humans. Wildlife rehabs have extremely limited space and resources and are usually run entirely on donated money and volunteer time. Only a few are large and stable enough to care for permanent residents long-term, and those spots are few and far between.

An invasive species poses a danger to threatened native wildlife. I will admit- Australian possums are adorable. But not in New Zealand, where they’re an invasive species that eats the eggs of ground-dwelling birds that previously had no such predators. The landowners I worked with replanting native bush, all native Maori, had no qualms about setting the dogs on them.

In our gender case this ignores that women were literally lobotmized, beaten or worse for engaging in "masculine activities" like wearing pants or holding a job outside of domestic work, this ignores how feminists over years had to fight for the right for women to be in "male dominated jobs" after getting them the right to work at all and are in an ongoing fight to be treated and compensated fairly still in those spaces

Also saying this as an avid One Piece fan, I would not get my gender philosophy uncritically from the media of a country that famously has a gnarly misogyny problem If you're gonna share this on tumblr dot hell to prove your point the least you could do is think critically about the culture and history that led to that line resonating with you and any potential blindspots the author or you might have

Put down the gender swap manga and pick up any kind of historical record about gender discrimination Let's start here

Jokes are not above critique especially if the joke has tinges of lacking or omitting historical framework or presents a dichotomy that needs way more nuance and context to be fully graped.
